Last night I was so tensed about my project that is supposed to be held in next week but it didn?t seem that way. I was like dead!

My God!! No any marketing campaigns have been done and it made me feel as I will be the only one who would be attending this so called Grand event, because nobody knows about it.
(You might be wondering why the hell a university student is not focusing on studies instead of arranging events huh? My dear fellows, Business administration?s students are obliged to conduct such events for future prospects).Well, anyway I called one of my friends and discussed my deadly situation with her and begged her to do something about it. She was like come on you have a week time which is not bad. She promised me for a miracle, at least for me it was.

Next morning, when I logged in my facebook account, I received an invitation by my invitation. Err? what?s that? Who did it? And my friend clever face appeared in my mind. Ohh I see so that?s the miracle she was talking about.

My event details are properly mentioned and my friend?s writing skills made it double appealing. She sent this invitation to her entire contacts? list, I did the same so my other friends.

Within two days I got such an overwhelming response from people. They are not my friends only but a friend of friend or may be my friend?s cousin etc. So that time I realized that how FACEBOOK and FACEBOOKSTER like apps can make a huge difference in your business and social interaction.

I am going to have a blast this Monday, where I won?t only be meeting my friends only but many new faces which is again very significantly helpful from my PR prospective.
Hope to see you someday with some exciting experiences.
Till then, be loud and stay Excited.

Long time back I was? well not so long, a year back I was badly stuck in a situation that couldn?t let me find a way to get out of that crap. It wasn?t only an attack on my peaceful personal life but an immoral harassment people have to go through while using an insecure social-connecting website.
I am not going to name that insecure website, which seemed to be an emerging high scrapper in online world and I feel no harm in accepting its success in the first five years of its arrival in Pakistan but where they got failed was lacking in security measurement area that user has to have in any case.

Back to the story, the problem was no secure process, everybody was allowed to poke his nose in my profile, writing in my area and commenting anything they want to (even I did it couple of times too, but not in any unethical way and that is for sure. Things we do for fun often become depressing situation for others, I realized)
Anyway, you will agree that in teen-aging phase, everybody tries to be a hero, a punster so I was, wink?. Commenting became a proper fight and I didn?t realize the situation until my photographs got hacked? sigh?

Long story short, that phase was extremely bad, mental torture, depression, handling norms and values which are again an asset of eastern person I went through?But, after some time things got solved and I decided to go somewhere I don?t have to concern about the security issues of my personal stuff, where nobody is allowed to read my gossips until I allow, where I can easily upload my friend?s get together, last days in college and birthday parties photos without giving a second thought to it.. Without social-fear and?

I am thousand times thankful to Facebook where I found these easy-to-use and hard-to-cheat apps and Now I am much relaxed, though bad time reminds me some bitter memories but on other hand I have learnt how to tackle road bumps and fight back with the bang;)
That was a true story of my friend whom I liked to share it with you guys and a little advice for you people, from now onwards be careful while throwing your personal stuff on such social-connecting web sites, as precautions are must dear.

Hundreds of event invitations have been received since I joined facebook and every time I was like ohh this is a must-go thing. Can you see my recent event invitations list? I know it?s little fuzzy but you can get an idea how informative and fascinating it is to be well informed by latest happenings in the town.
I usually get invitations like people exhibiting clothes, some cultural festival, book mania, rock concert, educational workshops, movie night, theatre or as I am found suffering from patriotism-disorder-disease so my event invitations area is flowing out with some social-activist communities which I am asked to share 1% of my energies with, for the betterment of my country.
Well, whether I go there or not, still I can talk about if the clothes were good? How was the price range? Concert was rocking but it didn?t blast like the past ones, who were the guest speakers? What they contributed? ? I can comment as I was there (wink?). Yeah, in daily interaction with business icons, media correspondents and even with friends you really need to have a bulk of gossips to expand your present circle and here your PR enlarging phase comes.

And, If we see on the marketing perspective, it?s a cost effective medium where you can voice-up to your targeted audience and they are ready to hear you, which is the best part because why everyone is screaming that e-world is becoming the influential medium these days and answer is that nobody has such spare hours to watch TV, tune into radio but people keep checking their facebook invitations which are expectedly beneficial for them.
So if you are an event planner, selling tickets, promoting sports event, exhibiting your creativity or hosting a fundraising night. This is the best app you can stick to your profile and easily gather your targeted crowd at your place.

Social Media?s circle is spreading more and more everyday in all fields of life including sports, health, business, cooking, dating etc. Now you can find everything on social media. The main theme of the social media is to provide a platform where people would take part in social activities from all parts of the world. Today the social networking sites attract the most traffic so it has become the center of attention of all marketing people.

The best way to socialize your business starts with a social application. The social application has served as the best technique to market you business or to get traffic to your web and this technique really aided small business industry. If you already got a social application and want to boost it then you should start working on the following techniques:

1. Optimize your application according to the latest trends that attracts people towards your app.
2. A good application should be interactive with the users but it is not necessary. For example, you are selling a soup, ask the users about their favorite fluorescence and provide the product with the same.
3. Participate in relevant forums as much as you can and provide links to your app in your posts.
4. Do some social bookmarking for your application on social bookmarking websites.
5. Create Groups and Fan Pages for your business application on social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace, and Orkut etc.
6. Join related business discussion boards on social sites.
7. Viral networking can also assist you in making your app popular. Facebook provides you a free viral networking.
8. Publicize your business application on local circle; tell your friends and people around you about your application and ask them to participate.
