An example of social media's power to reach and engage people -- on their terms, not yours.
The economy still weighs heavily on everyone's mind, and we're seeing drastic changes in traffic patterns. Hopefully, with changes in the U.S. political climate, things will turn around a bit.
Over the last few weeks, I've also been watching many self-proclaimed marketing gurus speak of social media's role in filling in the gap during the economic downturn. While social media should be a part of any forward-thinking and transparent company, I would urge caution if you believe that you can monetize it easily or quickly. It's also not a magic pill for traffic building.
But for those who think I'm a naysayer, I must admit I am a social media addict. I will also go on the record to say that you can successfully use social media for marketing.
The biggest problem I have with the term "social media" is that it isn't media in the traditional sense. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and all the others I don't have the word count to mention aren't media; they are platforms for interaction and networking. All the traditional media -- print, broadcast, search, and so on -- provide platforms for delivery of ads near and around relevant content. Social media are platforms for interaction and relationships, not content and ads.
To be truly effective using these interaction platforms, you must understand why we use them.
Real-Life Example
Before Halloween I teamed up with Chris Brogan to play a game using Twitter. We called it Trick or Tweet. Here were our rules:
We raised $282. Not too bad. But more important, we learned more about what moves people to take action. We learned that people loved to play but are less willing to pay.
As of this writing, Twitturly shows there were 150 tweets with an estimated reach of more that 165,000. This only measures the number of people who sent the link around, though there were many others playing. Clearly it was a successful game, but the metrics didn't translate into the big money I had hoped for charity.
While this is an anecdotal example, it demonstrates social media's power to reach and engage people -- on their terms, not yours. People are attracted to people. People used the game mostly to connect with other people.
Social media isn't an advertising and branding platform; it's a hyper-interactive relationship-builder. Social media isn't a magic pill for traffic woes; it's used to deepen longer-term relations.
When you engage in social media, you enter into an unspoken social contract. You are in a relationship; it goes both ways. There are boundaries. Respect and trust must be earned.
Tips for Using Social Media
Here are a few ways to view and use social media:
I look forward to meeting and tweeting and Facebooking with you about marketing and social media, or anything that we both find interesting.

Any of the annual or perennial grasslike plants constituting the genus Scirpus, especially S. lacustris, in the sedge family, that bear solitary or much-clustered spikelets. Bulrushes grow in wet locations, including ponds, marshes, and lakes. Their stems are often used to weave strong mats, baskets, and chair seats. Bulrushes may act as a filter, absorbing poisonous metals and toxic microorganisms, thus helping to reduce water pollution. In Britain, the term bulrush refers to either of two cattails (Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia).

(Updates with closing shares in the fourth paragraph.)
Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Vivus Inc. resubmitted its Qnexa obesity treatment for U.S. regulatory approval after updating the label to say the drug shouldn't be used by women capable of having children.
Vivus is seeking clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for Qnexa as a treatment for obese or overweight patients with weight-related disorders such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
The FDA rejected Qnexa last October citing concerns the medicine may cause birth defects and increased heart rate. In addition to the label warning, the resubmission includes a risk evaluation and mitigation strategy, the Mountain View, California-based company said today in a statement.
Vivus was unchanged at $8.58 at 4 p.m.
The FDA will schedule an advisory panel in the first quarter of next year and a final decision on whether the drug is approved would come in the second quarter of 2012, Vivus said when it announced it would resubmit the application Sept. 15.
Vivus has been competing with San Diego-based Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. and La Jolla, California-based Orexigen Therapeutics Inc. to sell the first new prescription diet pill in the U.S.

In the midst of all The Following's murder and mayhem, it's kind of comforting to know that the new Fox drama (Mondays, 9/8c) has plans to show the softer side of Ryan Hardy — this week, in fact.

Last we saw, Justified's normally cool-as-all-get-out Raylan was left reeling from the con job pulled over on him by his latest conquest, Lindsey. But this Tuesday (FX, 10/9c), the Southern-fried marshal will (briefly) put that all behind him for a long-overdue reunion with his MIA baby mama Winona — who, let's be honest, is the real reason Raylan's been so moody and broody this season.
Here, Natalie Zea — who can currently be seen on …READ MORE
As if lawman Raylan Givens won't have enough going in next Tuesday's Justified finale — what with at least one very bad guy still at large — his baby mama will also resurface. Yet Winona's presence was no foregone conclusion, if only because Natalie Zea has been in barely half of this season's episodes.
Zea, though, was almost in none. READ MORE
Well, this may not bode well for Raylan Givens and his baby mama Winona.

By all accounts, Timothy Olyphant ought to have a trophy case full of gold statuettes. His resume is stuffed with award magnets like Deadwood, Damages and The Office. His acting is consistently acclaimed. And he's extremely well-liked in the community. But for whatever reason, the self-effacing 44-year-old remains decidedly kudos-deprived. There's a strong feeling that could change this year in the wake of his impressive work as laconic Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in Justified's pitch-perfect second season. READ MORE

I have a White Pontiac 6000 LE. Its a 1991 with about 111,588 and it still runs like the first day i got it. Its a V6 but it still has alot of power behind the wheel. if i ever had to buy an older used car. the 6000's would be the first section I would look toward. Although my car is fairly bare, there are 6000's with a lot more to offer inside. This is by far the best car I have ever had and I would suggest it to anyone.

DOUG HALL BLOGGED LIVE- Hi folks -- I've answered some of the questions posted to get things going... - Doug Hall
by Doug HallQUESTION: What's to keep others from stealing the inventions we see on the show? Or more precisely, how much exactly must a similar idea differ for a mega-company to get their own patent on it?
DOUG: Sadly, many of the inventors don't have an invention that is protectable. Hopefully those that do have filed a utility patent.
QUESTION: Why doesn't the show screen inventors before they come before the judges so they don't waste your time with products that already exist?

Even better, he agreed to be a guest blogger and will be writing a special article (maybe a few if we're lucky) for American Inventor Spot soon. In the meantime, here's the blog posting that we wished we had written:

(Leon Halip/Getty Images)The Philadelphia Phillies declared Delmon Young their starting right fielder upon signing him in January, but Young may not be ready to play until May, according to CSNPhilly.com's Jim Salisbury.The 27-year-old underwent ankle surgery on Nov. 10 -- weeks after he won ALCS MVP and his Tigers went on to lose in the World Series -- and was at risk of starting the 2013 season on the DL. But a "club insider" told Salisbury that DL stint could last through all of April.Young can take batting practice and participate in drills, but would not say when he expects to return to the field."The ankle is feeling good, but I'm not a doctor," Young said. "So when the doctor tells me I'm ready, I'll be out there. I'm not going to put a timetable on it."Listed at 6-foot-3, 240-pounds, Young has lost 30 pounds since the postseason ended, according to the report.His one-year, $750,000 contract includes a weight clause that rewards him for staying under 230-235 pounds. He did not disclose his current weight to reporters at Phillies spring training in Clearwater, Fla. With Young out, Philadelphia will turn to young outfielders Domonic Brown and Darin Ruf, as well as veterans John Mayberry and Laynce Nix, to fill the corner outfield spots.

Well, I eventually figured out how to get lopster to work. It connects to everything fine, and it everything seems to work except the search feature. I've tried searching on plenty of networks to find anything possible, including very popular atrists, single letters, stars (*), just anything to find out if the search feature would work but nothing worked. Am I doing something wrong? I use FC1, and everything works perfectly on this system other than this.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Britten, Prokofiev and Shostakovich embody one of the most colorful and accessible threads in mid-20th century music. Each used his music – both on concert stages and in tandem with emerging media such as radio and film – to connect swiftly with worldwide audiences and to engage young ears with the powers of classical composition. This populist approach to writing music drew on their belief in art's power to enliven the spirit of any listener, even in dark periods of history, and at a time when many contemporaries were pioneering more densely complex forms of composition. The Chicago Symphony is celebrating this important current in classical music from the last century with a three-week festival. Join us as CSO artistic programming advisor Gerard McBurney presents a talk and Q&A on these composers' music, inspirations, outlooks, and lasting influence.

Remove Naack of Power
Naack is corrupt! He abuses power and makes up rules as he goes. Cross him and you will not only be blacklisted from ever running a business or being staff but he will make sure you want to leave Era if he doesn't find a reason to ban you first. He encourages the staff team to overlook certain rules while making new ones to fit his hatred toward certain players. If you've seen for yourself or even experienced his abuse sign this petition. Era has had enough corruption at the hands of former staff teams. Tim Rocks has good ideas and is motivated in bringing Era forward let's not let Naack fk that all up! If Tim Rocks ever decides to step down or God forbid thrown out, Naack will run Era and this can not be allowed to happen. Let's show Tim and the others that we as Graalians are tired of being abused by corrupt players/staff like Naack.

3 years ago Comments: hi im meatloaf i own the gun points To be on topic, Naack has corruption running through his veins. He's banned and reset Death_striker for Racism (an offense all admins agree shouldnt even be bannable over), fabricated fake websites and then blamed JKL for it to successfully frame and subsequently global ban him. Furthermore, he has fired any staff member he dislikes (Reese,MD, etc), while simultaneously managing to abuse every single staff power he has (rigging events, abusing the heal power, cheating, etc). He might as well be globally banned himself, for all the harm he's done.

Battle Hopper
this wiki
This article is about a/an rider machine in Kamen Rider Black. |
The Battle Hopper (バトルホッパー Batoru Hoppā?) is a living motorcycle used by Kamen Rider BLACK. It was created by Gorgom, made specifically for the upcoming Creation Kings Black Sun and Shadow Moon. The Battle Hopper has the ability to heal its own wounds if damaged, and can stand on its own if knocked over. His special move is the Dynamic Smash, a body slam attack that is executed at full speed. Before the finale, Battle Hopper is connected to the King Stones and was later controlled by Shadow Moon due to this connection and dies in the final episode, finally speaking to say how proud it was to fight with Black. Because of his strong connection to Kotaro's King Stone, he was resurrected as Acrobatter in response to the Sun King Stone's evolution.
Speed: 1000 km/hour (621 mph)
The Acrobatter (アクロバッター Akurobattā?) is the revived version of the Battle Hopper. It is now capable of speaking coherent Japanese, and often has conversations with Kotaro. Whenever BLACK RX transforms into any of his two other forms, it does the same.
Acrobatter transforms into Roboizer (ロボイザー Roboizā?) when RX becomes Robo Rider. This mode of Acrobatter's has two blasters mounted at its rear.
Acrobatter transforms into Mach Jabber (マックジャバー Makku Jabā?) when RX becomes Bio Rider.
The SD Kamen Rider Black RX rides in a modified version of his Acrobatter motorcycle in the OVA, Kamen Rider SD: Strange!? Kumo Otoko.
Video Game appearances
Kamen Rider: The Bike Race
Black RX appears riding the Acro Batter (Kamen Rider Black is absent) in Kamen Rider: The Bike Race, a racing game featuring the majority of Kamen Riders and Rider Machines up to Kamen Rider Agito.
- The Acrobatter's name is taken from "Acrobat", Battle and "Batta" (Japanese for grasshopper).

Puerto Rico's Bioluminescent Lagoon Goes Oddly Dark
Aside from Disney World, I wouldn't normally call a destination magical—but Puerto Rico's bioluminescent Grand Lagoon comes pretty close. Unfortunately, the popular Fajardo tourist destination has gone strangely dark. Visitors come to swim or kayak through the waters to witness a trail of sparkling green light appear. The glow is caused when dinoflagettlates (microscopic plankton) are disturbed, giving off light they've collected during the day. But since November 11, tour operators have been forced to cancel excursions and reimburse disappointed guests.

Is there a way to get rid of moles? I live in East Texas and they are tearing up my lawn. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by yarddoctor (My Page) on Mon, Jun 23, 08 at 6:43
Dear Aorti2 Thank you very much for your inquiry. Moles are a problem all over the US. There are many products out there that promise some level of control, most of which have some level of truth with results hard to verify or duplicate. The only method I am comfortable with recommending at this time that I know works is mechanical trapping. There are several types of traps, my favorite for most moles is the harpoon trap. You can buy these at any hardware store. The big issue with using this harpoon trap is getting is set and then checking the trap often (1-2 times per day). This exercise should be treated as you would fishing, in that you need to check the lines often. When you set the trap, it must be in an active tunnel. Now, a couple of things about moles. First, there are not as many in your lawn as you think, trust me. They are quite territorial. Second, if you begin this exercise, you will find that they make runs through their tunnels at almost the exact same time every day. Stomp down their tunnels and watch them push back up, you will get their pattern very soon. Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more. Respectfully Trey Rogers, The Briggs & Stratton Yard Doctor, YardDoctor.com |

Exclusive 'Oculus' Featurette: What is the "Lasser Glass" Anyway?
The idea of a movie about an evil mirror tormenting and killing people over the years may seem a little silly, but 'Oculus' makes it work. Set in two time frames, it tells the story of how the "Lasser Glass" destroyed one family and how the survivors reunite years later to exact their revenge. We have an exclusive look at the history of this (thankfully fictional) object, narrated by star Karen Gillan who rips off a monologue on all the mirror's devilish deeds.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Captain America 2′ Throws His Mighty Shield, Wins the Box Office, Etc.
Like 'Iron Man 3' and 'Thor: The Dark World,' the question was never whether or not 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' would take the number one spot at the box office, but rather how much it would earn while sitting pretty at the top of the list. Also, like its "Phase 2" predecessors, the second Steve Rogers adventure proved that people are still punch-drunk in love with the Avengers characters.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Noah' and Russell Crowe Flood 'Sabotage' and Arnold Schwarzenegger
Insert your own "when it rains, it pours" joke right here. Darren Aronofsky's instantly controversial biblical epic 'Noah' overcame mixed buzz to win the box office this weekend, catering to both religious audiences and film buffs who like weird movies from unique, picky directors. But all was not well for everyone -- the latest film from a certain Hollywood action legend got washed away in 'Noah''s success.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Divergent' Leaves 'Muppets Most Wanted' in the Dust
If the main goal of 'Divergent' was to snag a large portion of the audience for 'The Hunger Games,' it looks like it succeeded. Although it didn't reach the absurd heights of Katniss' two movies, Shailene Woodley's dystopian adventure effortlessly nabbed the number one spot and, unless something bad happens next week, announced the arrival of a new big franchise.
The Sad List of Movies With a Perfect 0% Rating on Rotten Tomatoes
Rotten Tomatoes doesn't always provide a perfect look at the world of film criticism, but it does paint a pretty consistent picture of what films are widely loved or widely hated. Any film that reaches 60% positive reviews or higher once they've all been tallied is considered "fresh" and anything under that is "rotten." It's very rare for a movie to reach 100% positive reviews (there's always going to be one hater), but it's just as uncommon for a movie to reach 0% (there's always going to be one stubborn defender).
Luckily, we live in a world were someone goes out of their way to track down and put each of these all-time stinkers on a list for easy referencing.
'The Grudge' Is Getting a Reboot (Again) From Sam Raimi
Well, that was fast.
Most horror remakes tend to wait a few decades before starting over from square one, but it was announced today that 'The Grudge,' which hit theaters in 2004, is getting rebooted. To give you an idea of just how fresh this reboot really is, producer Sam Raimi and his Ghost House Pictures, who were behind the first two American films, are behind the reboot.
Weekend Box Office Report: 'Need For Speed' Sputters at the Box Office
If the goal for 'Need For Speed' was to replicate the success of the 'Fast and Furious' films, then the film's opening weekend is not promising. Opening in third place, the video game adaptation was overtaken by two of last week's releases, making this potential franchise D.O.A.
Weekend Box Office Report: '300: Rise of an Empire' Conquers All
After seven years of waiting, no one knew if a sequel to '300' would do the business of its predecessor. And now we have a definitive answer: yes. '300: Rise of an Empire' effortlessly took the number one spot at the box office, proving that America still loves shirtless Greeks murdering each other in slow motion.
'SNL' Gives Adam and Eve the 'Girls' Treatment
With Lena Dunham hosting the show, there was no way 'SNL' wasn't going to do some kind of 'Girls' parody. And with the recent release of 'Son of God' and the impending arrival of 'Noah,' there was no way the show wasn't going to take a shot at the recent biblical movie revival. So here we are, with a hilarious fake trailer for 'Girl,' which simultaneously skewers the story of Adam and Even and your average episode of HBO's 'Girls.'
Watch Pink's 'Wizard of Oz' Tribute From the 2014 Oscars
As frustrating as it was for an already long ceremony to pause for a seemingly unnecessary musical number, all was immediately forgiven when Pink took to the 2014 Oscars stage to perform a rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" as part of a 'Wizard of Oz' tribute. Sure, that iconic musical fantasy may have nothing to do with anything happening in or around the broadcast, but does anyone really need a reason to celebrate one of the greatest films ever made?

A couple in Elma, Washington decided to get their rocks off by sneaking into a home, getting nakey, setting up a camera and getting down with the baby-making.

Unfortunately, they left behind the camera and their sex tape.

Now There's A Dating Site For Uglies
There are a few things to keep in mind when online dating: 1) A picture says a thousand words, 2) if you're looking for something very specific, go for a niche site and 3) know thyself. A new dating site has the latter two facets covered in spades (with a little of the first thrown in for grins). A place called TheUglyBugBall has surfaced in the UK, a place known for its abject honesty. The dating site is BeautifulPeople.com's opposite, in that it's for people who realize they're unattractive.
Man Chooses Fishing Over Family, Seems OK With It
Where I come from, there's a saying: "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will abandon his family every weekend." A fellow named Lee Jackson must be from the same area. In a story that could have come from an episode of The Simpsons, Mr. Lee Jackson decided to spend a little extra time on the lake rather than with his family. His marriage, unsurprisingly, ended in divorce.
Is The Male Brazilian Wax Completely Pointless?
Over the last couple of decades, Americans have been grooming more and more. I'm guessing that skimpier outfits have led women to remove more hair. And, somewhere along they way, us dudes were convinced that we needed to have hair removed, so we agreed to some waxing. But manscaping has possibly spun out of control with the male Brazilian wax. Is this something that we really need?
Cougars Are Not An Actual Trend
The word cougar used to send a shiver down my spine, mostly because comedian Joe Rogan's dog was eaten by a cougar and I think he's a funny guy. But also because it's grown to be played out, tasteless and unfunny. Five or six years ago, when the word first surfaced it was hilarious because it conjured an image of a woman with acrylics, animal print sleeveless tops, leather pants and a perimenopausal hankering for something that doesn't need Viagra. But from that somewhat silly image an unflattering stereotype emerged and the whole thing lost its appeal. Now reports out of England suggest the cougar, like the mighty Chupacabra, might not exist and, come to think of it, Joe Rogan's dog may have been eaten by a mountain lion.

More Reason Why Guns & Weddings Don't Mix
The most recent wedding plus guns equals bloodshed math problem occurred in Turkey. And this jive turkey went down like this: a fellow, fresh off of going from bridegroom to husband celebrated by rattling a few rounds out of his AK-47. And this young Turk was likely of the untrained variety and sprayed down guests when he lost control of the rifle. His dad and two aunts were killed and several others were wounded. Proving once again that guns and wedding just don't mix.
There is a legend—an accepted legend but a legend nonetheless—that strong-headed, career-focused women are very difficult to please in the head, heart and baby-makers. Some combination of stress, perfectionism and immaculately kempt hair (periodically in a bun so tight that it makes changing facial expressions nigh impossible) make us think that she hasn't been properly rogered in eons and would probably be a drill sergeant in the sack. As it turns out, common knowledge is mad wrong, yo.

REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Microsoft Corp. announced two new competitions that focus on women and female technology innovators at Microsoft Imagine Cup, the company's global student technology competition.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130220/SF63755)
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)
The Women's Empowerment Award was established in partnership with UN Women, the U.N. organization working to accelerate gender equality and the empowerment of women, and will be awarded to two student teams of any gender that create projects that best address issues impacting women globally. Registration also is now open for the Women's Athletics App Challenge, in partnership with the Seattle Storm women's basketball team, which inspires female developers, innovators and entrepreneurs to create software related to sports, health or fitness.
Teams of any gender from around the world that advance to the Imagine Cup 2013 Worldwide Finals will be eligible to enter their projects into consideration for the Women's Empowerment Award. The first-place prize (US$12,000) and the second-place prize (US$8,000) will be awarded to the projects that best address economic inequality, access to technology and other resources, gender-based violence, leadership and political participation, or other critical women's issues. Applicants will be judged on the potential impact their projects can have on the lives of women, including feasibility to address the target issue and the quality of the application. "Students can be change agents; they can revolutionize the world we live in," said Kristin Hetle, director of Strategic Partnerships of UN Women. "By harnessing the power of technology, they can bring attention to issues that women, in particular, face every day. The Women's Empowerment Award will encourage and reward students who choose to focus their energy on creating positive change for women globally." The Women's Athletics App Challenge is open for submissions from all-female teams worldwide that want to compete to code the best sports, fitness and athletics apps for an opportunity to have a private meet-and-greet with a Seattle Storm basketball player and watch a game on the Storm's home court in Seattle. The winning team, announced this summer, will also receive a US$1,000 prize per team member. "The Storm and Microsoft look forward to seeing the types of apps women around the world — from Canada to Kazakhstan — will build to promote healthier lifestyles, give consumers more incentive to stay active, or help people realize exercise and sports can be a great way to have fun and stay in shape at the same time," said Karen Bryant, president and CEO, Seattle Storm. Female participation in the Imagine Cup continues to grow steadily. Last year, nearly 20 percent of students at the Worldwide Finals were female. One of Imagine Cup's goals is to help participants build developer skill sets, learn how to launch startup businesses, and enhance their prototypes based on the advice of mentors and judges. Imagine Cup gives women an important platform to pursue interests and careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics)-related fields and serves as a launch pad for them to becoming developers, innovators or entrepreneurs.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

New Warlock glyphs found in Wrath Beta build 8820
As Inscription is slowly built into a viable trade skill, Blizzard sneaks more and more glyph data onto the Beta server, even if none of it is directly available thus far. This build, MMO Champion discovered a nice selection of Warlock glyphs, and I have to say that most of them look pretty sweet. Of course, it's hard to say for sure on how good some of them are until we know for sure if PvE damage rotations besides Shadow Bolt spam will be viable in Wrath's endgame, but I'll assume they will be, for the most part.
Let's check them out after the break.
