Will You Add? - Social Networking - Hindsights and Trend Forecasts
You’d think with so many people using broadband now that page load times shouldn’t be an issue. Not so; according to many surveys of online shoppers that frequently mention respondent complaints of web sites loading too slowly.The problem, as I’ve stated on numerous occasions in the past, doesn’t so much lie with consumers demanding whizz bang shopping experiences, but the tendency of marketers and developers seeming to take an approach of “hmm.. most people are on broadband now, lets use every ounce of that bandwidth”.There’s a few points to bear in mind:a) There are still healthy numbers of people on dialup connection
As any previous trend, social networking is also undergoing slow yet decisive changes with the nature of its content at least partially and the motive by which people come over to them. A new breed of social networking sites like zatsit.com have started revolutionizing the way we see social networking with a shift in their content from purely personal to partially commercial. After all, if people want to and can ma
As both an active project manager and project management trainer, I often get asked whether the project management best practices that are applicable for large projects can be applied on smaller projects. This is a really important question and one which all project managers must face up to when managing small projects.Focusing on project delivery One of the arguments against using project management methodologies is that they are very process-centric resulting in vast quantities of project documentation which are simply not practical or desirable on small projects. This is a powerful argument and any method whic
User generated content has a built in Pandora box feature which upon a single act of online misdemeanor by a user can trigger a flurry of legal suits with the main keyword being copy right infringement. Many have prophesized recent high profile legal tussles between online corporate giants like Google and time Warner over unauthorized content as the death knell to social networking and user generated content phenomena. But like all other trends that survived, this also is maturing and adapting itself to the online environment that it belongs and given the rapid development and dynamism that we are experiencing with social networking sites, they are least bothered about the challenges that lay ahead.
The internet as contrary to superfluous speculations has proved to be a one-size fits all medium that caters to people cutting across all age categories. There is some thing in the internet for everybody and it still manages to cater the insatiable craving of its users for everything from news to music and mail to research. We have witnessed the insurgence of blogs but their soulless nature has triggered a backlash in the trend and we are now seeing the beginning of the end of blogging. It’s sure, the blogs are here to stay but they will be paving the way for variants of social networking sites which specializes in areas like, art , architecture and business that others have missed. Traffic to these sites are relevant and refined which if properly channeled can return more than expected results.
Until now and for some more time in the foreseeable future, these sites have been and will be predominantly depending on revenue from third party advertisement for their overheads. In such a traditional strategy, the website features ads placed by third parties craving quality traffic to their web pages and services. Whether the traffic they get is of any quality is the subject of another article. This source of revenue is vulnerable to fluctuations as far as the internet is not the sole medium for advertisements. The internet has its fair share of competitors like the television, print and radio but the sheer possibility of interactivity is the only excuse that makes it a class apart from others. The enormous amount of data that is at one’s disposal is slowly and spontaneously developing this as favorite and first destination for people searching for information.

IntroductionIn 21st Century and in the era of Knowledge Based Industry when global market in shrinking cross culture adaptation is not only a MUST but is only a mantra to succeed. In my previous two employments, we had 15 and 24 nationals respectively from different countries and many of our people from India go on Deputation to other countries and many of them face challenges to cope-up with the cultural change…behavioral change.Understanding Intercultural SensitivityWhy you need to go out, India is a country with “Diversity in Culture”. This diversity is the result of the coexistence of a number of religions as well as

In order to make the sale, you need to have the right sales pitch that will make the customer want to buy. This means that you really have to know the product and make it exciting as you persuade customers that this is something that they need to buy. The perfect sales pitch will persuade customers to buy something even if they know deep down that this is a product they don't really need.While it is important to have a good sales talk when you have a showroom, it is not as important as making a sales pitch when you are involved in door-to-door selling. This is because customers who come into a showroom are looking to buy. With door-to-

The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) announced that 2006 internet advertising revenue hit nearly $17 billion dollars. More and more companies are spending their money online which is good for websites that offer such services. It is predicted that the advertising dollars will keep increasing. For example, in 1996 only 267 million dollars was spent on the internet. What should a blog or website do to capitalize on the increasing advertising dollars?Before you can offer website advertising you are going to have to accrue lots of visitors. Without visitors why would someone advertise on your site? The more visitors that frequent your

Most people resell digital products poorly. They assume it's really more about getting traffic to their websites than it is about selling the product.Don't misunderstand me. Traffic is important. Without eyeballs seeing your product (one way or another), you won't sell anything. That's not all there is to it, though.Always remember that selling sells. You may have a nice, shiny, cleverly named product. It may be priced well. If you don't sell it, you'll end up with a nice, shiny waste of your time.If you're looking for how to generate passive income successfully with resale rights, don't expect the product to do all the w
As any previous trend, social networking is also undergoing slow yet decisive changes with the nature of its content at least partially and the motive by which people come over to them. A new breed of social networking sites like zatsit.com have started revolutionizing the way we see social networking with a shift in their content from purely personal to partially commercial. After all, if people want to and can make money from socialization then I suppose no body has an objection and every body should go for that. Through this strategy, the users can convert their online presence for offering their products and services and by virtue of being in the receiving end of quality and targeted traffic, they can also expect relevant leads. A comfortable blend of personal and commercial activity is sure to make a visit to these sites worth the time and bandwidth it consumes and you can also delve into shopping if offered with quality products and services for compelling and competitive rates.
As history have proved through the dot com boom and bust of the 90’s, it is innovation and alternative resources that holds the key to online survival for sites that do not a steady flow of guaranteed membership subscription. Contrary to the early days of the internet, this medium is spreading like wild fire in Asia and Middle East backed by robust economic growth and increasing online spending. The possibility of freelance work and other services that can be offered and referred through these new breed of sites are enormous and anybody who has a product or service to offer can do it beyond linguistic and geographic barriers which through other mediums he just can afford to. Some sites offer their services for free but others for a premium and these days, you need not know anything about html to create a quality web page featuring your and your products information which these sites will take care of. You can have your own web page minus the inevitable cost and other overheads if you are going for your own site. And what about getting it known to the world that you have this and that on offer? relax and rest assured, that they will also make sure your page is seen by the world.
So how do you think about utilizing the potential of these sites or is there anything that you can offer through them?
