Impact of Social Media on Society

"Do you have Facebook?"
"Yes, of course. But I don't think you can find me, as there are too many people who have the same name as me. Try searching with my surname as well."
"Hey, you celebrated your birthday in K-Box, right? I saw the photos in your Facebook."
"Bro, I saw your comments about the YouTube video that I've posted in my blog. I'm happy that you are also deeply moved by the 'Dancing Peacock Man' as well."

Social media or "social networking" has almost become part of our daily lives and being tossed around over the past few years. It is like any other media such as newspaper, radio and television but it is far more than just about sharing information and ideas. Social networking tools like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Blogs have facilitated creation and exchange of ideas so quickly and widely than the conventional media. The power of define and control a brand is shifting from corporations and institutions to individuals and communities. It is no longer on the 5Cs (e.g. condominium, credit cards and car) that Singaporeans once talked about. Today, it is about the brand new Cs: creativity, communication, connection, creation (of new ideas and products), community (of shared interests), collaboration and (changing the game of) competition.

In January 2010, InSites Consulting has conducted an online survey with 2,884 consumers from over 14 countries between the ages of 18 to 55 years old on social networking. More than 90% of participants know at least 1 social networking site and 72% of participants are members of at least 1 social networking site. On the average, people have about 195 friends and they log in twice a day to social networking sites. However, 55% of the users cannot access their social network websites at work. In the past, not many adults were able to make more than 500 friends, but with social media, even a child or teenager can get to know more than 500 people in a few days by just clicking the mouse. Social media has devalued the traditional definition of "friend" where it means trust, support, compatible values, etc. Although we get to know more people, we are not able to build strong bond with all the people whom we met as our available time is limited. Hence, there is an upcoming social trend of people with wider social circles, but weaker ties (people we don't know very well but who provide us with useful information and ideas).

Impact of Social Media on Society

Social media also influences people's buying behaviours. Digital Influence Group reported that 91% of the people say consumer reviews are the #1 aid to buying decisions and 87% trust a friend's recommendation over critic's review. It is thrice more likely to trust peer opinions over advertising for purchasing decisions. 1 word-of-mouth conversation has an impact of 200 TV ads. With the prevalence use of social media, there is numerous news related to it from the most viewed YouTube video on "Armless pianist wins 'China's Got Talent'" to Web-assisted suicide cases (e.g. New Jersey college student who killed himself after video of him in a sexual encounter with another man was posted online). Thus, does social networking make us better or worse off as a society?

Positive Effects of Social Media

Besides having opportunity to know a lot of people in a fast and easy way, social media also helped teenagers who have social or physical mobility restrictions to build and maintain relationships with their friends and families. Children who go overseas to study can still stay in meaningful contact with their parents. To a greater extend, there is anecdotal evidence of positive outcomes from these technologies.

In 2008, President-elected Obama won the election through the effective use of social media to reach millions of audience or voters. The Obama campaign had generated and distributed huge amount of contents and messages across email, SMS, social media platforms and their websites. Obama and his campaign team fully understood the fundamental social need that everyone shares - the need of being "who we are". Therefore, the campaign sent the message as "Because It's about YOU" and chose the right form of media to connect with individuals, call for actions and create community for a social movement. They encouraged citizens to share their voices, hold discussion parties in houses and run their own campaign meetings. It truly changed the delivery of political message.

Obama campaign had made 5 million "friends" on more than 15 social networking sites (3 million friends on Facebook itself) and posted nearly 2,000 YouTube videos which were watched over 80 million times. At its peak, their website, MyBarackObama.com, had 8.5 million monthly visitors and produced 400,000 blog posts. In order to ensure that their contents were found by people, the Obama campaign spent .5 million on Google search in October alone, 0,000 on Advertising.com, 7,000 on Facebook in 2008, etc. Currently, Obama's Twitter account has close to 6 million followers.

In 2010, after the earthquake happened in Haiti, many of the official communication lines were down. The rest of the world was not able to grasp the full picture of the situation there. To facilitate the sharing of information and make up for the lack of information, social media came in very handy to report the news about the affected area on what happened and what help was needed. Tweets from many people provided an impressive overview of the ongoing events from the earthquake. BBC covered the event by combining tweets from the work of its reporter Matthew Price in Port-au-Prince at the ground. Guardian's live blog also used social media together with the information from other news organisations to report about the rescue mission.

It has been two years since CNN officially launched iReport as a section of its website where people can upload video material, with contact information. During the Haiti crisis, CNN had published a range of social media material but not all the materials were verified. The editorial staff would vet the reports from the citizen journalists and labeled them differently compared to unverified contents. On Facebook, a group, named "Earthquake Haiti", was formed to show support and share updates and news. It had more than 14,000 members and some users even pleaded for assistance to the injured Haitians in the group. Using email, Twitter and social networking sites like Facebook, thousands of volunteers as part of Project Ushahidi were able to map reports sent by people from Haiti.

The most impressive part of the social media's impact on Haiti is the charity text-message donations that soared to over million for the victims in Haiti. People interested in helping the victims are encouraged to text, tweet and publicize their support using various social networking sites. The Global Philanthropy Group had also started a campaign to ask wealthy people and celebrities, like Ben Stiller and John Legend to use Twitter and Facebook to encourage others to give to UNICEF. An aid worker, Saundra Schimmelpfennig, allowed the advice from other aid workers and donors to post on her blog regarding to choosing which charitable organisations to support. In the meantime, donors were asking questions in Twitter, Facebook and blogs about their donations and endorsements of their favourite charities. After every crisis, the social media for social cause becomes a more effective medium to spread the word.

Negative Effects of Social Media

There are always two sides of every coin. Social media is just a tool or mean for people to use. It is still up to the users on how to use this tool (just like a knife, can help you to cut food or hurt others). Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project and Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center conducted a study on "The Future of Online Socializing" from the highly engaged, diverse set of respondents to an online, opt-in survey consisted of 895 technology stakeholders and critics. The negative effects presented by the respondents included time spent online robs time from important face-to-face relationships; the internet fosters mostly shallow relationships; the act of leveraging the internet to engage in social connection exposes private information; the internet allows people to silo themselves, limiting their exposure to new ideas; and the internet is being used to engender intolerance.

Some respondents also highlighted that there will be development of some new psychological and medical syndromes that will be "variations of depression caused by the lack of meaningful quality relationships", and a "new world society". The term, "Social Networking", has begun to deceive the users to believe they are social creatures. For instance, spending a couple of hours using Farmville and chatting with friends concurrently does not convert into social skills. People become dependent on the technology and forget how to socialise in face-to-face context. The online personality of a person might be totally different from his/her offline character, causing chaos when the two personalities meet. It is apparent in online dating when the couple gets together in face-to-face for the first time. Their written profiles do not clearly represent their real-life characters. It is more enticing for people to type something that others want to hear than saying the truth.

Besides the "friendship", creators of social networking sites and users redefine the term, "privacy" in the Internet as well. The challenge in data privacy is to share data while protecting personally identifiable information. Almost any information posted on social networking sites is permanent. Whenever someone posts pictures or videos on the web, it becomes viral. When the user deletes a video from his/her social network, someone might have kept it and then posted it onto other sites like YouTube already. People post photographs and video files on social networking sites without thinking and the files can reappear at the worst possible time. In 2008, a video of a group of ACJC students hazing a female student in school on her birthday was circulated and another video of a SCDF recruit being "welcomed" (was hosed with water and tarred with shoe polish) to a local fire station made its way online.

Much news has been reported about online privacy breach in Facebook and Facebook is constantly revising their privacy policy and changing their privacy controls for the users. Interestingly, even when users delete their personal information and deactivate their Facebook account, Facebook will still keep that information and will continue to use it for data mining. A reporter asked whether the data will at least be anonymized. The Facebook representative declined to comment.

In the corporate world, human resource managers can access Facebook or MySpace to get to know about a candidate's true colours, especially when job seekers do not set their profiles to private. Research has found that almost half of employers have rejected a potential worker after finding incriminating material on their Facebook pages. Some employers have also checked the candidates' online details in Facebook pages to see if they are lying about their qualifications. Nowadays, younger generations have a complete disregard for their own privacy, opening doors to unwelcome predators or stalkers.

Top 10 Computer Virus Protection Reviews

Below are my top 10 computer virus protection reviews:

1. Bit Defender - This newly updated version of Bit Defender for 2008 has a new Gaming mode to ensure protection while not allowing pop-ups during game playing. They still offer all the services that they have been known for such as privacy protection and web scanning. It was awarded the top spot in the computer virus protection reviews because it is easy to use and install; it's overall effectiveness, can be updated regularly, and has great support.

2. Kaspersky - Kaspersky has received top ratings for the same above-mentioned aspects such as effectiveness and support. This software has received many awards from top organizations. It is one of the most advanced products available on the market today; it would be an ideal choice to protect your computer.

Top 10 Computer Virus Protection Reviews

3. ESET Nod32- This is said to be a simple, but very thorough security protection solution. They scored highest on effectiveness, support, and easy installation. In 2008, the ESET Nod32 received major updates while maintaining the high standard of security protection it has always provided.

4. AVG Anti-Virus- This year two previously separate products were merged with their award winning antivirus software to ensure improved overall protection for your home computer systems. They have also improved their scanning engine which should cut down on time taken to complete a virus and spyware scan. They also reported an overall decrease in overall system resource usage.

5. F Secure Antivirus- The security protection suites offered by F-Secure are used by both home computer users and large corporations on their massive networks. They strive to ensure that the internet user understands general online security safety measures and precautions, along with the potential threat caused by an inadequate security setup. Overall F-Secure offers an excellent package.

6. Trend Micro- Although this software may cause a slight decrease in performance of some basic home PCs,Trend guarantee that the security level provided by their software will more than make up for any slight decrease in performance that may be experienced. This software is aimed directly at the home internet user rather than larger corporations and receives high scores in all areas. The lowest score is attributed to the help/support section. Trend Micro is used by many people and is a viable security solution.

7. McAfee VirusScan - McAfee is a leading antivirus software provider. This software now comes equipped with extra features including an email scanner. It is not the best security option in my opinion but very popular none the less.

8. Norton Antivirus- Norton Antivirus is a widely known antivirus scanner and has been around for many years. It is the choice of many computer manufacturers who install it as part of their normal PC or laptop setup. The 2008 version is equipped with antivirus protection as well as anti-spyware detection. It is not one of my favorites as in my personal testing I have found it to be a resource hog and some end users have found it difficult to remove from their systems. Symantec are a well respected security software provider and constantly strive to update and improve the software they offer to their customers.

9. CA Antivirus- If you are looking to only detect and remove viruses on your computer then this may an option you would want to consider. This is the primary function of this product and it does not contain additional detection capabilities.

10. Norman Antivirus and Antispyware- This software is good at detecting spyware and viruses that may be lurking on your home computer. Again some users have reported a slight decrease in computer performance as a result of installing Norman AV.

The idea behind writing the top 10 computer virus protection reviews was to offer what I consider a "taster" if you like on what is available, how effective it is, and how easy it is to use. Armed with this information my hope is that you will be in a position to more easily choose a security solution that fits with your individual needs and level of security required.

If you feel that you need more specific information on any of the top 10 then just head over to the company website or type (name of software) "computer virus protection reviews" into your search engine of choice.

The Importance of Learning

Let's define what learning is. Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skill through education and experience. Our ability to learn and our intellectual capacity are intangibles. However, these intangibles are your greatest assets because everything you do to reinvent and update your knowledge allows you to grow from where you are today to where you want to go. Learning is a prerequisite to growth.

Learning is vitally important because it helps us make informed choices about our own lives and the societies that we live in.

Online Game Update

The world is always changing around us. There is nothing anyone of us can do about the changes that happen in industries, technologies, etc. Remember the birth of the automobile? What did the first automobile look like? Now after getting that mental image in your mind, compare it to the automobiles today. We can all agree there are huge differences between them. The automobiles of today are a direct result of human beings gaining a deeper understanding of how cars can operate. This can only happen through a commitment to lifelong learning. If we are to ever progress in any area of our lives, we must heed the call to lifelong learning.

The Importance of Learning

We must acquire this fundamental discipline because it is as normal as food and physical exercise.

Some may think that learning is a luxury for a few individuals or learning should be concerned with our early years. It should be looked at as something well beyond formal schooling. It encompasses our entire life cycle.

Recognize that lifelong learning is a journey with no end in sight and that no one can ever have all the answers. We must have the humility or willingness to learn from others. In other words, learn from the experts. We will never live long enough to learn it all on our own.

The conscious pursuit of learning, just like excellence is what really counts. We must accept the fact that change is inevitable. We must all thrive on change and never be intimidated by it.

Change is the result of a willingness to try out new approaches, observe the results, and to include the feedback into new initiatives.

Learning allows us to stay ahead of the game. If you don't render yourself obsolete someone else will, like your employer. It's the price innovators will gladly pay for staying ahead of everyone else. In order for you to create the new results you want in your life, learning is a path you must be willing to take. It provides the opportunities to continually expand your capacity

Perhaps the most important thing you can do for yourself and your future and your family, which will automatically include generations to come, is to challenge yourself to commit to being a student for life as the pursuit for knowledge is one of the smartest investments you'll ever make.

What have you learned today? What new skill will allow you to move forward from where you are now to where you want to go? Have you heard of the quantum leap strategy?

When you change your thoughts your change your results!!!!

The Elf on a Shelf - 10 Sets of Mischievous Ideas For Adding Magic to Your Holiday Season

The Elf on the Shelf Christmas and Elf Magic traditions are sweeping the nation -- for good reason. They offer a delightful way to build excitement for the holidays, and keep children on their best behavior. Here is how they work.

The "official" Elf on the Shelf, Elf Magic Elf or a another elf, arrives at your home early in the Christmas season to spend the holidays with your family.

Online Game Update

Each night the Elf on a Shelf returns to the North Pole, while your children are sleeping, to report to Santa regarding their behavior.

The Elf on a Shelf - 10 Sets of Mischievous Ideas For Adding Magic to Your Holiday Season

While the Elf on the Shelf Elves have a more staid reputation, the Elf Magic Elves are a mischievous bunch, and have a tendency to make a mess or pull a crazy stunt while everyone is asleep. Your kids will love to wake up each morning and see what trouble the Elf got into the night before.

Here are ten ideas found around the internet and from local families to inspire your elf:

Elves Love to Do What Your Kids Love To Do

Elves adapt quickly to a household, and many mornings are found busy with the favorite activities of the kids who live there. Reading favorite books, playing games (including the Wii or Nintendo DS), having a tea party with best-loved dolls, and riding skateboards are all favorite Elf past times.

Elves Are Into Computers and Social Media

Elves in homes with teens have been known to have email, Facebook and Twitter accounts to keep an online eye on the kids and send funny emails, status updates and tweets. Many elves also seem to surf the internet late at night, finding fun new sites for the kids to enjoy.

Elves Love to be in Pictures

Apparently, Elves are very good at self portraits. Many families have found their digital cameras full of pictures of their Elves in all kinds of crazy poses.

Elves Often Have A Driver's License

If an Elf cannot be found in the morning, the car is the first place to look. Elves are often found in the driver's seat, sitting on a stack of pillows or books. The car may be parked backwards or in a crazy position, and in some cases even down the street or in a neighbor's driveway. Typically, Christmas music is blaring through the speakers and the gas tank is mysteriously closer to empty than before.

Elves Write in Journals

Elves and children often learn more about each other and build bonds by writing letters back and forth. Some Elves arrive with a festively decorated journal to keep all the correspondence in one place. It has been rumored that some Elves only write backwards, so children must hold the note up to the mirror to read it. A few are conversant in Pig Latin or other codes that older kids must decipher.

Elves Tell Potty Jokes, Too

Bathroom humor spans all languages and species. Elves love to turn the toilet water green (with food coloring), decorate Christmas trees in underwear, toilet paper kids rooms or whole houses, and write on bathroom mirrors with mom's lipstick.

Elves Spell Their Names - Everywhere!

Each Elf has a name. Some are named by the children they watch. Others arrive with a note introducing the Elf. Either way, all Elves seem to love to leave their signature as often as possible. Maybe the Elf's name is written in Cheerios, flour, or chocolate syrup on the counter. Other times in toothpaste on the bathroom mirror. Best of all, in food coloring on freshly fallen snow.

Elves Love Things That Remind Them of Home

Cotton ball snowball fights are a favorite past time of elves. Also, Elves often make elf sized snow angels. If real snow is not available, then Insta-Snow or flour make good substitutes. A favorite game for Elves is Candy Lane. If the house does not already have a copy, Elves have been known to bring one from the North Pole as an early Christmas gift.

Elves Do Not Always Come Alone

What could be better than an Elf on the Shelf? Several Elves, of course. That means the mischief can multiply and children awake to elaborate scenes of Elf mayhem. Maybe a poker game or baseball or football match or a play with Elves in costume (borrowed from other dolls).

Elves Play With Their Neighbor Elves

So many families have their own Elf on a Shelf during the holidays that Elves join with neighbor Elves to increase the fun. Many neighbor elves have been waiting together at the bus stop for their children to arrive. Other Elves host a Christmas party for neighborhood kids.

As you can see, the possibilities are endless for your elf tradition. Happy Holidays!

The Elf on a Shelf - 10 Sets of Mischievous Ideas For Adding Magic to Your Holiday Season

Terri Chadick invites you to introduce the Elf on the Shelf holiday tradition to your family this Christmas season. Go to [http://www.lifepluskids.com/elf-on-a-shelf] to find out more.

Facebook Games Run Slow - Here Is What You Should Do

Facebook games running slow is a common problem. The games are often small flash based games that you would think wouldn't ever have issues. There are however a couple of leading causes of them running slow, or the internet slow in general.

First, make sure your software is fully up to date by starting with Windows (or Microsoft) Update. Once that is done, make sure Adobe Flash is fully up to date. The easiest way to force it to the most current version is to remove Adobe Flash completely and then visit Adobe's website and download the latest version. This has fixed issues with flash before and most Facebook games are flash based.

Online Game Update

If that doesn't solve the issue, you probably have a problem somewhere in your registry. Re-installing Flash sometimes will fix it, but if you have been hit with some sort of spy or malware, you need to get that cleaned up as well. Think of the registry as a giant database telling Windows where to find things. If things start running slow, it is quite possible that there is incorrect information. We need to correct that information.

Facebook Games Run Slow - Here Is What You Should Do

To start, we take a look for any spyware that might have gotten installed. I recommend Spybot Search and Destroy. It does a good job at doing a deep scan including the registry to search out nasty entries. The registry part is important. Once the full scan is finished, clean whatever entries it finds, particularly ones in the registry. This might take a reboot or two if anything is actively loaded or running. Allowing it to run at startup once should take care of the rest.

Now that we have removed anything bad that might cause Facebook games to run slow again, we want to make sure the rest of the registry is clean. So to do that we simply download and run a registry cleaner. This will check every key and make sure they are valid and pointing to the correct location. This will take care of anything that reinstalling or the spyware scan was not able to fix.

Facebook Games Run Slow - Here Is What You Should Do

There are many registry cleaners around, but, you should be careful with the one you choose. Many free registry cleaners can damage your computer instead of fix the Facebook games running slow problem.

Online Games Running Slow? Here Are 3 Simple Ways to Boost the Speed of Internet Multiplayer Games

Playing games online is something that an increasing number of people around the World are doing every day. However, it's often the case that many online games will take a very long time to load, and will become extremely "laggy" when you're trying to play them. To fix this problem, you can use this tutorial to boost the speed & reliability of your online multiplayer games, so that you can constantly come out on top, again & again. Here's what you need to do:

1) Reinstall / Update Your Graphics Driver - Graphics cards are becoming increasingly complicated... and with that comes the need to produce more complicated graphics drivers. "Drivers" are the software programs that allow Windows to interact with the hardware your PC has, making it vital that you have the most updated & reliable drivers on your system. You should look for updates for your graphics driver, and then try reinstalling it from your "Device Manager".

Online Game Update

2) Reinstall The Game - If you're trying to play a game that has to be installed to run, then it might be best to reinstall the game. The problem is that many games, when used, corrupt / damage their own program files, making it extremely difficult for that game to run as smoothly or effectively as possible. You should uninstall the game and then completely reinstall it from the ground-up, as this will replace all the program files that it has on your system, improving the speed of the game. You can do this from the "Add / Remove Programs" applet inside Windows.

Online Games Running Slow? Here Are 3 Simple Ways to Boost the Speed of Internet Multiplayer Games

3) Clean Out The Registry - This is one of the most popular ways to boost the speed of your system & games, and is performed by 1,000's of people around the World every day. The 'registry' is a database which your computer uses to store vital settings & information inside for your computer, and is where every single program on your PC keeps a list of different files & settings. Computer games also store their settings inside the registry database, but unlike normal applications, games store 100's of settings that they need to use every time you play. One of the biggest reasons why games run slow, or lag, is because Windows cannot read the settings it requires from this database, making the game take a lot longer to run. To make sure this is not a problem, you need to clean out the registry by using a 'registry cleaner'. This is highly recommended.
