  • What can be done in Facebook?

Although Google has done a pretty good job by launching Google Plus after a number of failures.

  • Twitter – Getting Started – profile

    Internet relationships are based primarily on like, know, and trust through social network websites like Twitter, Facebook and similar sites. In this post I am going to talk about Twitter.

    In Twitter, you can create your personal or business brand and virtually dominate your market, simply by building a list of followers. Twitter allows 140 characters per post, so the content in Twitter are highly optimized and straight. In the current busy life, it does make perfect sense to talk in short statements. That is one of the reasons, Twitter is getting more popular day-by-day.

    When you register with Twitter, you should know some basic things before getting started. I have listed the main things below:

    Profile Page

    Once you’ve set up your Twitter account you can quickly customize the look and feel of your profile page. You should pay close attention to your one-line-bio. This one-line-bio is what people will read before they decide whether or not to follow you. You only have 160 characters to describe who you are and what you do. You might need to think a lot about it to make it good.

    Adding a photo of yourself or the logo of your business helps a lot. A photo of yourself is better when dealing with customers as they feel like talking with a human.

  • #tweetdebate, @tfcNepal … social works in social network

    tweetdebate #tweetdebate

    Some Nepali users of micro blogging platform Twitter have started a weekly debate to discuss on a specific issue, related to Nepal. The first virtual meeting conducted on March 18, 2011 decided to conduct the debate on every Friday from 10 PM to 12 AM.

    Anybody can participate in the virtual debate. To make the participation easier, one of the organizers has created an illustrated how to page in the debate site.

    The topic for March 25, 2011 is titled "Civil Vigilance- how can we do it?" The aim of the debate, according to the website, is:

      • use social media to form a citizen pressure group
      • use the group to push for gradual improvements in social/political issues
      • start an open-source style political campaign
      • Pragmatic solutions to problems, not complaints

    @tfcNepal

    Tweeting for Cause Nepal (tfcNepal) is another social networking group. With a fund of NRs 4000, collected from its founding members, the group is planning to collect 20 paisa (Nepali rupees) per tweet from its followers.

    The fund will be used to support old age homes, orphanage homes, street children, government Schools, and libraries.

    We wish @tfcNepal a success in their mission: ‘if we are able to bring smile on every faces through our tweets’.

    ****

    These are the only two random groups from a lot of such groups in social networking platform. In the time when Twitting and changing Facebook status are considered more important than kissing in an wedding, social works is something we shouldn’t ignore about. Keep tweeting!

  • How to know somebody is following in Twitter?

    This question was asked by Anish Shakya through our new "Q&A section" in which we accept any types of question and try to answer all of them with the help of various experts in the respective fields.

    Q. How can I tell if someone is following me on Twitter without checking in the "Followers" list?

    Thanks Anish,

    You can see who your followers are how many of them are following you are given in your profile.  But, if you want to check is an individual is following you or not, go to that person’s page. And see if it has a "Message" button.

    A message button will be there if the person is following you, as you can direct message them. Otherwise the person is not following you.

    The following two screenshots are from pages of two persons I follow in Twitter. The first has reciprocated my following and has followed me back. So, I can send a message to the follower.

    following-me

    The second friend hasn’t followed me. So, there is no "Message" button.
