  • Split Personalities in Social Media

    Split Personalities in Social Media

    The other day a thought occurred. If someone with a split personality (Very acute as shown in thriller movies, though I am not sure if the extend of fiction in the movies are far from reality) uses social media tools like Facebook and Twitter would he or she remember the passwords of a profile created by one personality? Or would they create a new profiles for every new personality that they split into? Assuming they will remember the passwords and will [...]

    SocialCRM in 2012

    Let us admit Social CRM for many companies is about how well they can sell more which might not be the correct thing given the potential of Social Media to enhance your business. Yes Profits and revenue are important but they don’t happen without customers and that means customers who are happy with you. Take a step back and get yourself out of the upsell-crosssell syndrome and think “Why does my customer remain my customer? That would be an energizing [...]

    Facebook Timeline – From a single wall to a Real Home

    Facebook Timeline could mean a lot of things for many but for me it means that Facebook is taking a step to ensure that every person on Facebook has a Personalized Web Page that they can show off. It is moving the common user from a simple single wall to a real home. From the early days when making a Website used to be rocket science and companies and geeks minted money on it the simple website business has become [...]

    Social Networking is a step in evolution; Kapil cash the cow NOW

    Correctness is not what is defined by those in power to cover up their wrong. Freedom is the absolute correctness and when it is extended to all, it is natural that the correctness of the powerful get blurred. In a free world where everyone has a right to a voice; correctness will evolve to include every single human being. To understand Social Networks and its impact we should first look at evolution. In the millions of years we have evolved as [...]

  • The Value and Dilemma of Being Private

    The Value and Dilemma of Being Private

    Around the world when there is a scarcity for anything the value for it increases. Whole industries spring up surrounding this scarce resource and anonimity and privacy are slowly becoming scarce commodities in the world of Social media and Google searches. The question is will ‘being private’ be a scarce state of existence in the near future when everyone shares everything online. If that happens will ‘Being Private” be a state of tremendous value by any means? As the world [...]

  • Moving Facebook friends to Google+?

    Moving Facebook friends to Google+?

    Why would Facebook make it difficult for you to port your friend list to Google+? I guess because they don’t want people to go. But will this stop people who really want to move out? It seems now the only way to overcome this is to move FB contacts from FB to yahoo and then to Google+. I have not tried it and so not sure, but if the idea is to close all doors to do so, then this [...]

    Got Invite? Google+

    Got Invite? I did. Yesterday my wife sent me a Google+ invite (yes, on my request and out of her love for me) but Google is still taking time to send one to my inbox to start using it. Not sure if they heard the news that I have stopped using Facebook and they are filtering non active social media folks out of their initial list. But what the heck? social media has been around for a long time and [...]

  • An open letter to FB

    An open letter to FB

    Dear FB, Thanks for the email you sent me when you found that I had not logged into you for the last few days.

No hard feelings, it might be just me, but I started finding you less interesting. Though I [...]

    Lady Gaga enters Farmville with Gagaville

    I have never played Farmville, I know that hurts for some; but have seen people get obsessed with it and never got inspired with it. I even once wrote an article that Farmville should be played by prisoners, but this story really opened my eyes. No I am not starting to play Farmville, but I am amazed by the possibilities this news can open up. For those who don’t know what Gagaville is about, here is a short version. Farmville [...]
