Even though it was in the wrong area, the intention was in the right place. Thanks for the tips, they’ll provide useful for Internet Marketing through Facebook and Twitter, which I use quite a lot.

Thank you sir!! Which field are you in?

11

I’m not particularly in a specific field, I’m more or less dabbling through to see what I could participate in, but I know these will come in handy since Twitter and Facebook are nearly always on when my browser is. Haha.

12

You need to decide brother… then or now there will be no time left for you to think. Remember the Dot COM Bubble!!!

13

thank you sir!! :slight_smile:

14

Haha, well, I will definitely give it some thought and then try to go into it, but .com is so over rated, haha.

15

Didn’t the Dot Com Bubble burst around 2000? Or are you predicting the Next Dot Com Bubble? Either way, I don’t think there’s any imminent danger, since the whole dot com thing is still in its relative infancy.

Hi

I am also working in a company as a social media manager. I think most top thing in social media is user engagement is prime key of social media.

17

This is SO true. Predicting really? and definitely relatively infancy.

18

You never know guys, Micheal Dell indicated once that there could be another dot com boom. India and Indonesia as countries profited heavily from the earlier one.

I love the sarcastic list :slight_smile:

Although as hard as I try, my business fails at going social :frowning:

If you are using social media for traffic; that is going to take a lot of time to build.

If you are using it to ‘back up’ your company and appear popular and useful; that’s another issue itself.
