Remember how annoying it was when someone had an instagram handle which is different from their twitter handle. You thought million of times whether to mention them on instagram and not share it on twitter or not to mention them on instagram and share it on twitter.. There’s nothing worse than that!

Smartphones Have Revolutionized The Way We Communicate
“With endless applications, high-speed wireless Internet access, and free messaging services, smart phones have revolutionized the way we communicate”
Nowadays, we (Smartphones users) are closely “attached” to our mobile devices. Without our phone we feel “lost,” “tense,” or “not updated.” where on the other hand regular phone users feel free or quiet without their phones.
TV Shows and Hashtags
“I strongly believe that TV Shows shouldn’t have a twitter account they can create a hash-tag & communicate with the audience through the Channel’s account” – Heba AlSamt
Today, the impact of social media on media has been to such an extent that even television channels are making their presence. Television channels are using the power of social media to increase the popularity of the shows which is awesome knowing that nowadays people are found multitasking on digital devices while in front of a television and sharing with their friends and live tweeting.
So Why a “hashtag” and not an “account”?
VOD is growing …
VOD (Video On Demand) is taking over the world … yes I believe in that.
Video on demand continues to expand around the world every day, which means that TV content will find a wider audience globally. Nowadays, video is in demand, as never before. The days when if you missed an episode of a TV series you had to borrow a tape from a friend or wait for a repeat of the show is gone. Today we as audience are used to watching what we like, when we like, and we do not have to miss a thing. The audience is in control and this should be considered by all of the broadcasters and TV channels.
iOS6 is out ..
Apple released iOS 6 to the public today making the download available to users of recent iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch models and it’s available in for UAE users now. iOS 6 adds over 200 new features, like Apple’s own Maps app, Facebook integration, Siri improvements and more.
Be patient as the rush to download the update usually slows the update process to a crawl.
For what I’ve seen so far iOS 6 has given the user more features to make the things we do every day even better. For anyone who has received a late night text message disturbing their sleep, or accidentally received a dumb phone call in the middle of a meeting, the new Do Not Disturb feature is a lifesaver. Moreover, here are few features I loved …
Outsourcing social media management
Should I Outsource My Social Media Management?
Well, I am not against outsourcing but part of the beauty of social media is its authenticity. Social media is built on trust and real credibility and by outsourcing it you are misleading people and you lose the trust.
Outsourcing takes the “social” out of social networking. Social networking requires a personal connection with those you are trying to network with. You can only do this yourself. To me outsourcing social media is like hiring someone else to answer your phone or email pretending to be you. (image this for a bit) would you do that? Hope not!
Start being more polite to yourself
If you had a friend who spoke to you in the same way that you sometimes speak to yourself, how long would you allow that person to be your friend? The way you treat yourself sets the standard for others. You must love who you are or no one else will.
If you wouldn’t treat anyone else that way, then why are you beating yourself up?
من هو الأب؟
سؤال تم طرحه على طلاب الماجستير وكانت الأجوبة جميلة ومنها العادي .. ولكن أفضل ما ذكره المحاضر هو هذه الأجابة التي وردته
الأب..
… تلبس حذائه فتتعثر من كبر حذائه لصغر قدمك …
تلبس نظارته تشعر بالعظمة ..
تلبس شماغه فتشعر بالوقار ..
تطلبه مفتاح سيارته وتحلم انك هو وانك تقودها
يخطر في بالك شيء تافه فتتصل عليه وقت دوامه ويرد
ويتقبلك بكل صدر رحب ولاتعلم ربما مديره وبخه او زميله ضايقه او مصاريفكم اثقلته
الحياة لا قيمة لها اذا تجردت من الادب ، الذوق ، و الاحترام
صدم شآب امرأة عجوز بدراجته . . وبدل آن يعتذر لها و يساعدهآ على النهوض أخذ يضحك عليهآ ثم استأنف سيره لكن العجوز نادته قائلة : لقد سقط منك شيئا فعاد الشاب مسرعاً و أخذ يبحث فلم يجد شيئاً
فقالت له العجوز : لا تبحث كثيراً ، لقد سقطت ” مروءتك ” ولن تجدها ابداً
الحياة لا قيمة لها . . اذا تجردت من الادب ، الذوق ، و الاحترام
Digital/Social Media is different from the Internet
Digital/Social Media is different from the Internet ( short form of the technical term internetwork ). To understand how, we must understand the Internet’s evolution over the years.
The internet started as what is now called “Web 1.0”. Remember? This term used to describe the conceptual evolution of the World Wide Web. Technologically, web 1.0 concentrated on presenting, not creating. User-generated content was not available on web 1.0 webpages. The web was an information portal. No more. No less. It lacked scalability, interaction & context.
