Social networking sites like Facebook and the like were fun when they started. You could be ensured of a reasonable degree of trust with them.
I don’t know if you have noticed lately, but Facebook have been slowly but surely selling off your privacy, and rights to the information you put on their site. They are doing this by just changing their Terms and Conditions from time to time. The changes have been slow and almost calculated.
Does small business really need online social media. Is it really going to provide those instant benefits that the media and some experts are raving about.
Online Social networkers (or media) is now all the rave. It’s the new kid on the block, the dream that some many people in business are now chasing as the quick fix. Now I have seen this wave of blind business hysteria all before, it’s nothing new.
A good 12 months ago you could depend upon a a solid core of your social network to be centralised on several common social networking sites, such as flickr, twitter, facebook, linkedin. Things where relatively stable, well as much as they can be. Comments on one sns stayed on that sns, comments on a blog, stayed on the blog. The core of the sns mob would from time to time go explore a new sns, sometimes integrating it into the group of core sites sometime not.
