Gulf spill sparks wave of protests and ignites online frenzy

Hello, I’m writing a paper on social networking right now, and I’m a little stuck. I need to write about how social networking draws people closer together, and I’ve already written about communication and information/file sharing. Does anyone have any other ideas?? Thanks.

www.beet.tv Cable network Oxygen has gotten a lot of attention recently for how it uses social media to drive up ratings and interaction. The technology and analytics firm Wiredset is behind that network’s work in social media. We recently caught up with Mark Ghuneim, who runs Trendrr’s parent company Wiredset. Trendrr was recently named a company to watch by the Altimeter Group. He told us that other companies using the service to better understand social media include MTV, Comedy Central, and Harper Collins. In addition, Trendrr has also become a useful tool in tracking viral buzz, similar to research firm Visible Measures. Most recently, Trendrr tracked the social media chatter from Tiger Woods new Nike spot and also analyzed how hit show “Glee” and pop star Justin Bieber would fare in a Twitter-off.

I need to write a 3000 word (approx) term paper on the dangers of social networking sites. How can I start, find references, and find things to discuss.

With so many positive aspects of social media, its hard to think that there could be a downside. But unfortunately, there are current trends that reveal both a bad and ugly side to social media. At BlogWorld, Patrick OKeefe, the Founder of the iFroggy Network, spoke with WebProNews and explained how a couple of these trends could lead to serious problems. For starters, the growing use of sock puppets is one area of concern. In this trend, people post promotions or positive comments about a particular company or brand but do not disclose that they are directly affiliated with it. As a result, the company or brand loses its credibility and trust. A second trend is the act of forcing people to use all tools and communities in the same way. When this occurs, the tools or the social platforms cannot grow or further develop. Tune into this video to learn more about what Patrick OKeefe had to say about these problems as well as tips he gives from his book, Managing Online Forums.

I have what I think is a decent idea for a new type of social networking site. I know, join the club. But I don’t have the skills and I don’t really know anyone with the ability to bring it to fruition. Is there any way to maybe pitch it to someone without risking my idea being stolen? I’d really to see it, honestly, just because I think it would be useful have around. A couple extra million or so in the bank would be nice, too, of course.

My uncle has to get a new job, and it was recommended that he join some social networking sites such as LinkedIn to gain connections and speak to others in his profession. I was asked to gather a list of these sites for him, but the only thing I can think of is LinkedIn. I know there are ones like Facebook and MySpace, but I mean more professional-geared sites. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if there are any good books on owning and managing a social networking website. I have found it difficult to prepare for the challenges of managing a website. We recently hired a consulting/software development company that has taken care of everything from design and development to analyzing, testing, and hosting. However, I would like to know everything that they know!

Is there anything I can study to learn the ins and outs of owning and operating a social networking website?
