Facebook Fanpage

Facebook Fanpage Creating a Facebook Fanpage from our WordPress has become possible and, accordingly, this month’s (current) Ycademy Seminar November 2011 focuses on setting up the Best WP based Facebook Fanpage based on our purpose and online media marketing requirements. Facebook Fanpage The question to ask ourselves is: “Who would we like to attract… where… how… and why?” and definitely, we would only want to ‘talk’ to serious people who have an interest in what we are doing, offering or showing them and from where we can expect some interesting ‘conversation’. I am still amazed how this form of terminology is being translated and adapted to a modern online format – but since this is fast becoming the norm, we’ve got to learn the language and be … ‘cool’. LOL How do we do this – especially if we don’t have the time nor the interest of hanging out on Social Networks all day long as we are busy doing our real business – in my case Web Design and Media related stuff that needs absolute focus, concentration and trips in the ‘real’ world without even a smartphone or any other form of line to attach me … duuuh, [...] Continue reading →

Monkey Valley Resort Website

Monkey Valley Resort Website The new Monkey Valley Resort website development nears its completion! Monkey Valley Resort Website The integration of the Booking System at Monkey Valley Resort seems to be more complex than expected; accordingly, I still wait for the integration link to finish off the website and take off the front slider that points out that this is a website built on a WP based Semiomantics XO – the best script out there when it comes to visibility on Google! Obviously, it’s then a matter of doing regular editing and publishing of good original content to keep the positions in the keyword areas targeted; however, from the results seen so far – be it for the Best Cape Town Conferencing Venue, the Best Cape Town Weddings, Thorfynn’s Restaurant Christmas Lunch or the New Year’s Eve Spectacular or Monkey Valley Resort – well, as the results clearly have shown, the initial investment in the right website has paid off manyfold! And this before its completion! Semiomantics Website or Google Ads Either you ensure your presence on Google top rankings by regular, daily Google ads – which is quite costly given the fact that you can’t go far even [...] Continue reading →

Social Commerce

Social Commerce In my research into Infographics and Social Media I was directed towards a great piece of Infographics by “Useful Social Media” on Empire Avenue who have created a Social Commerce timeline infographic with important statistics and decisive moments within the short chronology of the merger between Social Media and eCommerce. From what I read, Social Commerce is “…one of the hottest social trends in 2011, and [...] many brands, such as beverage company Big Train, along with major players like Coca Cola, Starbucks and Disney, have embraced this opportunity to make it easy for social media fans to purchase products directly from social networks.” Social Commerce Building contacts in Social Networks genre Facebook or Empire Avenue and others may not be everybody’s cup of tea; many may see it as a waste of time and cyberwaste given the fact that it remains mostly on the surface, meaning there’s no real depth of conversation, no real content, a start without a future. It must not be so! And besides, it’s a numbers game: with some you will ‘click’, with others you won’t – next! It’s just as in real life! Getting over the initial efforts and adding some [...] Continue reading →

About the Social Community

Bianca Gubalke — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 08:39:09 +0000

About the Social Community When looking at the amount of Social Networks sprouting everywhere – Empire Avenue, Facebook, Twitter to start with – it all seems to be about the Social Community and its interaction, so-called ‘conversation’ and communication. We are talking strictly online here. The question is: how social is a ‘Like’, how social is a ‘blurb’…. how social is all this on the surface forced and in most cases minimal and totally superficial exchange for some virtual benefit in one way or another really? And then we have to ask ourselves what we actually understand by ‘social’? Sure, we all seem to know what it means, but what’s the definition? About the Social Community Before going into the more scientific approach, I found a quote by Rudolf Steiner that encompasses within just one sentence what I think says it all – and I am monitoring in my own activities on especially Empire Avenue whether or not we actually – virtually speaking – live it… whether it’s at all possible… : “A healthy social life is found only, when in the mirror of each soul the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the whole community the [...] Continue reading →
