Traveling on business? If you need some sites to plan your trip, gather information, make friends, the following might be just what you need. Instead of opening overly expensive travel guides, click on any of the these links, for a unique experience, that will show you new places through the eyes of real travelers, just like you and me. I’ll be going back to my country (Dominican Republic) to provide a consultancy to a group of Tech Start-Up CEO on the use of Social Media. You know me! in the excitement of the trip, I’ve done some research and I am happy to share the results with you.
Let’s face it, Twitter is not that complicated. In fact, it’s really very simple to get started in. If you can type and hit Enter, you can post on the popular social media site. Unfortunately, that’s as far as many people go. They don’t realize that you can get a lot more out of Twitter if you know how. It may be a very simple site, but that doesn’t mean you can’t maximize your use of it!
When you have to cram your thoughts into 140 characters, it’s not surprising that people are looking for ways to shorten links. Twitter isn’t the only place to use shortened URLs, they make for nicer looking links anywhere you want to share your favorite links. Some services even offer tracking so you can see how many people are clicking on your links.
One area of social media is video and it’s such a rapidly growing area that it would be a shame to miss out on it. People love to watch videos online and the number of internet users who prefer video to text is rising. If you’re just getting started in video, chances are you’ve heard a lot about YouTube, but may not know what all your options are. There are literally dozens of sites out there that allow you to upload videos. That doesn’t mean you should jump on all of them, so I’ve compiled a list of the top video sharing sites for you to use.
Many people are using WordPress as their blogging platform these days, simply because it works so well. On top of that, the number of plugins that are available for the platform is impressive. While I would like to point out all my favorite plugins, it might be better if I just point out some of the best lists out there.
While Twitter is a pretty useful networking tool, it works best when you have access to the information you need. It would be very tedious to go through hundreds of profiles, looking for people who are interested in the same things as you. Twitter does have a search, but there are now many other options that will let you find the people or tweets you are looking for quickly and easily.
YouTube is an excellent social media site that most people don’t know how to use fully. To get the most out of your videos, you’ll need to understand the site.
If you are on Twitter to promote your business, you know how time consuming it can be. Fortunately, there are some great options for staying productive while maintaining an active web presence. Many people have turned to sites like TweetLater, which allow you to set up tweets to be published at a later time or date. This lets you maintain a presence even if you aren’t online for a day or two.
