First up – Happy New Year! Hope this year exceeds all your expectations :-)

There are times when you want to comment on your Facebook page as yourself but usually as an admin the comment will show up with the page photo and name. This isn’t great when you want to start or create a conversation. (Of course this also depends on the settings you have selected for the page.) Here’s an example of two ways to comment on a page.

A couple of days back I received some Marketing Charts from HubSpot. Here are some stats I found very useful for small businesses and entrepreneurs to know. Keep in mind that most of these numbers are from U.S. web users but with the internet aren’t you selling/offering services to the world? :) (and India is headed here in the future so better start early!)

This Saturday (19th Nov.), FoxCrime channel ran a Dexter contest to promote the start of Dexter Season 6. They ran an ad on TV asking fans to click a photo of the Dexter Tool when it showed up in the show and post it on their Facebook FoxCrime Asia page to win some cool Dexter swag.

A friend who is planning a trip to the Rann called the other day and the call took me down memory lane. My experience of the Rann or Land of White Souls ranks second to only the Himalayas. The Rann is an experience you will never forget, its leaves you with a feeling of accomplishment and yet humbles you with the power of nature and just much you are the mercy of it.

It’s been a busy, packed weekend but very fruitful. In all the conferences and sessions I’ve attended on Social Media this one offered the most bang for my buck. Since I think it added value I’m writing this post to thank all the speakers for sharing and to let others interested in social media know that they shouldn’t miss the #Social India Conference 2012. :D

I came across an email about 70’s in India and what it meant to the youth then. Some of the points got me thinking about my childhood. So, here are some anecdotes from my childhood.

Social Network URL’s and ID’s are like real estate, if you do not grab the best quickly, you may not get it again. That means that if you have a brand name that you use as your handle across sites, you want to try and get that on all sites before someone else does.
