    No Social Media Experts – Only researchers

    Who is a Social Media expert? One who has written books, or someone who has been making money using Social Media, or someone who consults small and large corporations on implementing social media strategies, or would it be some one who gives talks on Social Media.

    Accessibility is all about Equality in the opportunities to live

I am not saying that people are insensitive; it is just a human nature that we see things the way it affects us and not really always look deep into what we see.

    Be Truthful, Be Transparent

    “Transparency is not about seeing through something, it is all about they seeing through you” The concept of transparency has become even more important in the current digital age.
