Working From Home News: Social Media

Working from Home News update

Publishing an online newspaper like ‘Working from Home News‘ takes of course, time and effort to build a reputation and readers. Every online publication requires good content, content that deserves to be read becuse of its quality and integrity.

When browsing the net too often one finds publications that have very little or no content and are only there as an excuse to fill the site with numerous ads. Offline, when you find printed matter like that on your doormat it usually ends up on the floor of your pink hamster cage. Rarely is it read or referred to.

Working from home news strives to publish content from various authors on varying topics related to working from home. Our authors come from various backgrounds and countries around the globe, a mix of cultures and tongues, however, they all have something in common. They all work from home.

Social Media

This weekend we added a new Social Media module to our YORGOOpress to test automatic communication. The ‘Twitter’ tool plugin was added to the publication. ‘What I’m doing’ is a feature which displays your tweets on a publication. Most people are familiar with the Twitter 140 letter news blurps. Short sms like blasts to grab attention. We will leave this feature to work automatically for the next few weeks to test its effectiveness.

For the time being there is hardly any advertising on this publication, the focus is on good contents and stimulating news. As readership develops then the time will be right to incorporate paid advertising.

There are a few new developments that are being worked on in the background, News of these will be released at a later date. For now we focus on content, high visibilty, communication and traffic.

The Future of Social Networks

The Fall of the Network Society

The great idea about the Cyber Society hurts itself on an important stumbling block, at least for the time being: we are humans with a certain genetic and emotional profile. Human needs are, at least for the time being, not restricted to life on stage and there is more between heaven and earth than just a personal and behavioral online profile serving as connector between unlimited numbers of other cyber-profiles.

Lose your Face on Facebook?

Life on stage has this particular thing: once on stage, everyone profits from initial goodwill. From there, you can only lose, as soon as you talk, sing, write or express yourself in any possible way. Your contributions to cyber-society - for instance Facebook - can back-fire faster than you shoot and your future, also in low-tech environments may be jeopardized because of inappropriate content you may have loaded or inappropriate content being made available about you online.

The Future of Social Networks

The future of Social Networks may well become a matter of public concern and state intervention will be the consequence. Interestingly, the state is well advised to initiate the move using … social network marketing.

Social Network Marketing

Social Network Marketing consists in finding a way of influencing masses towards or against issues of concern. Mobilizing the masses through social networks will allow public authorities to gain the power back as only the public powers will be able to protect individual social network users from the abuse of exactly those features which have lead to the rise of social networks.

Connecting with People using Social Networks

For the time being, let’s enjoy them and experiment with daily new features and applications allowing people to connect and to stay in touch. And let’s learn how to publish our profiles and messages in an efficient way on Social Networks and our own sites.

At a later stage we must become more critical and select well, which applications we should use to serve OUR purpose best. Our kids will need our best guidance!
