The employment rate is stumbling 6.9 % under while the job market gets too edgy with its growing competitiveness. Passing resumes and waiting for the company’s call often bugs applicants clinging to the employers promise.

Why not check your Facebook account or Tweet that you are “desperately looking for some work to stimulate your senses?” Instead of wasting too much effort getting rejected with traditional means of application, try out social media sites; and if your lucky and hardworking enough, you could be the next —Feross Aboukhadijeh.

He’s simply the 19-year-old Stanford Junior who received a job offer—using a 140 character-limit—from Chad Hurley, Youtube’s co-founder. Isn’t that amazing enough? Social media today also serves as the job haven for internet savvy citizens.

In fact, there are written ways of job search using social media networks. First off is:

• Linked In – this social media site are filled with professionals and company owners—which can be considered essential for searching top candidates. It’s free but most people fail to complete their profile on this site. A searcher can improve his network by importing contacts from his gmail or may randomly search people based on interest.

• Twitter – Gaining as many as followers can help market one’s self. You may search for a particular company, follow, and communicate with them to know more about their company. The same as linked in, one should have a complete profile just like a resume—so companies can have something to look into.

• Facebook – The same as the social media sites above. A searcher can increase network by adding friends—and post notes to appear in others page. A note would be much preferable than a status update; notes appear longer.

However, facebook and other social media sites could induce informality according to Lonnie Dunlap, director of career services at Northwestern University. These sites could not compensate a hard copy resume and an application letter. They also suggest that social media jobs success may depend on the position wanted by the company.

Social media makes ordinary people extraordinary and talented personalities to be world-known celebrities. This is very logical due to the heavy load of information and sharing effects of social media networks. The social media atmosphere provides every person connected on the gateway with blast of diversified data in just a click. There’s no crime with such activity because the internet is purposed to provide unlimited information for the searcher though without specific restrictions for the usage of such data.

What’s terrifically devastating is when brainy yet foxy persons alter, revise, taints such information and distributes on the web. And not only distribute but bomb such despicable information on famous search engines on the web.

Let’s take for an example, the sixteen year old Youtube discovered, Justin Bieber. For many not oriented with the web, his just a teen making millions, singing famous songs and affiliated with some foundations but assuming that almost 80 percent of globe is connected to the internet, you would now think of the syphilis issue or the communist country concert tour or bad enough –the Justin Bieber car accident.

These issues are not brought by the show business industry but originated from a social media network, particularly 4chan –an English-language imageboard website. According to reports the heinous cyber prank group hacked Youtube by injecting their own code which displayed that Bieber in a car accident.

The syphilis issue was also kindled by 4chan. It was born on the picture of Justin Bieber and with Kim Kardashian seen with nipples out. 4chan users then published the image unto their site which and heavily bombed it on Google making it number one on the hot search for a time.

The last issue yet the most hard to believe is the Justin Bieber’s World Tour on the communist state of North Korea. This was also mastermind by 4chan by penetrating Bieber’s world tour contest site. The site decides on which country Bieber will visit by online votes. Unexpectedly before the contest closes, North Korea topped on the votes. North Korea which is restricted on use of internet astonished millions on becoming the next world visit for the teen star.

This concludes social media as a dangerous weapon for mischievous citizens on the web. There will be more and more of them as generations come and the only defense the target can employ is to disconnect himself online which also means isolation from the rest of the society.

Social Media is a combination of technology and social connections which are modernize to achieve consumer’s business transparency. Since internet is the number one strongest source of communication today regardless user’s educational status; it is resourceful and can put knowledge into practice.

As we notice, social networking has been obviously use by marketers to promote their services and products online. Social Media applications such as facebook, myspace, friendster and other popular websites is one of collective location for promotions being posted by entrepreneurs in these applications.

Social Media fun for instance is only one of millions of this kind of social networking. Different people around the world get the chance to exchange thoughts and comments and be part of the network on the spot.

Online applications are free; it allows anyone to register without any cost to be paid. Therefore, webmasters, businessmen, entrepreneurs, and whosoever that have interest related to any corporate matters are all taking advantage of it.

Most of the social media users are benefiting from it, whether the interest is for business or just for recreation. Just like fun free online games, without acquiring age limit everybody is capable to play offering fun especially during pass times.

Since modernize technologies today’s generation has been world widely affecting society in plenty of alternative ways, it helps building up global market which cause much advantage to reality. But on the other side of it, if there’s advantage, disadvantage comes along the way.

Specifically for young people it  is advisable to be guided when  using internet seeing that curiousness of a person probably sometimes irresistible, so if  you  are not be adaptive to social media there is possibility for  you to encounter irrelevant issues and undesirable things which are not helpful  to view and discuss.

The 82nd Oscars Academy will indeed never be the same again with the birth of social media like Twitter, Facebook and other social media tools and means. Why would they stay the same when all these are taken into another height and level of awareness?

The Oscars Awards is prestigious at the same bulleted with controversies and issues. Long time ago ‘controversial’ figure will have to wait for the interview request from the media and news network to air their side of the controversy. But now it only takes a flick of a finger and whoa everybody now knows what you can say about the story.

Twitter is really a marvel both for the ordinary people and the stars in Hollywood. The mini-tweets that they can air are mini-representation of the most current emotions and status of their minds. They do not even need the television crews in the land and it only takes an internet connection and all its gadgets to voice out your opinion.

I believe that the stars that receive the award immediately went to open their twitter accounts to shout their latest conquest. The most interesting tweets are from those who did not receive the awards. For I know they would have to make an uplifting tweets.

Facebook accounts of these stars both the winners and the losers would definitely have pictures for the fans to grab. The 82nd Oscars Academy Awards are never as much as covered as it is today. That is a thank you to hundreds of social networks that now exist.

New Year is about to begin 3 days from now and it would be 2010 and everybody seems all excited to it. During New Year mostly we think of our past mistakes that makes the New Year’s resolution tradition. If you have lots of regrets from your online mistakes in 2009 don’t worry because you can still resolve it this 2010. The Social media world is evolving therefore; it does not stick on one particular event alone so there is a chance for you to change whatever mistakes you had before. Mostly, social media tools like Twitter, Facebook or MySpace are being used for business matters aside from communication. Yet, some of the online users do not know that sometimes they hit the wrong button of displaying or updating their status. In order to avoid these things to happen again next year below are some of significant tips to follow.

Following the wrong site accidentally—it is good to follow back those people who also followed you on twitter. But make sure that those people have credible profile. It is because some of them do not give good benefits to your profile especially if you are making Twitter profile for your business. Therefore, an automatic tool that is being used for automatic following is not really a good option.

Sending private messages in public—Facebook and Twitter are known well for instant communication. If we notice we immediately respond on the go when someone is sending us message without thinking that we hit the wrong button. To avoid this, recheck if you are really hitting the right button. Since sometimes it may turn to chaos.

Avoid the habit of responding to email with the Reply all buttons—this is a no-no you should have to avoid this kind of habit. Because there are tendencies that the message wouldn’t suit to the person you are sending with. It would be nice that before you send the message, you would review it again and choose those people you really are genuinely to send about.

If you are just keen enough about your moves online, your business or whatever purpose you have online would be successful.

The World Wide Web was born in 1995 and two years later, news websites followed suit. But it was not until the mid-2000s that social media sites such as MySpace, YouTube, Facebook, Digg and a dozen others were the trend. These social media sites are not just source of get-togetherness and hangout pit stops but they are also one’s virtual connection to just about anything under the sun. Think of the tremendous application social media offer.

1. Source of News – In the past, we only regard sites such as CNN.com and usatoday.com as our source of online news. With social media sites such as twitter, we can now get our news all in one page. Just subscribe online news sites and link it to your twitter page and voila! You can have updates every time you click on your twitter page from all of these news sites that you had bookmarked.

2. Doing Business Online – Before 2005, business models were highly traditional. Then came Amazon.com, whose business pattern is imitated by hundreds of online business sites. Then came social media as a platform for businessmen. Simple yet cost-effective. If you don’t have that much capital, all you need to do is link your business site to other websites. You may employ various online methods too to promote your business site. What’s even better is that if you don’t want to buy your own domain, then you may use your blogger or Multiply account as a platform of your business on the Web.

3. Meeting Friends - It’s really a pleasure to meet new friends online, learn and chat with them. But the best and safer way to gain lots of friends online is through social media groups in which you can have access to their real profile. This is practically a group for everyone like for example Facebook; there is a group category for Catholics, Hippies, Russians, Naturist and even UFO existence theorist.

In the 90’s where Twitter, Facebook, Myspace haven’t exist; Geocities has been one of the leading home page service. In 1999 when geocities had more than 1.1 million users Yahoo bought the company for $2.9 billion in dot-com-priced stock. However, it is sad to know that the earliest ages of the social web has been declared to be closed. Earlier this year Yahoo announced the closing of Geocities and last April 2009 Geocities was no longer accepting new account sign-ups. And just recently they sent their final notice of GeoCities Closing. And starting this October 26, 2009 you GeoCities website will no longer be available on the web as well as access your Geocities account and files.

The company has been trying to coordinate with the trends on the internet but sadly the resources are hardly to spare. And new Chief Executive Carol Bartz has been focusing on the companies core since its been laying off about 675 employees in some areas even before the recession.

Yahoo provides a FAQ in assistance of Geocities users in the closing of GeoCities.  They also suggest the Yahoo! profile as a centre in managing identity, activities and interest and their Yahoo Web Hosting service. And for those who wants a free web hosting services they suggest: Tripod, Webs.com, Weebly, WebStarts.com, SynthaSite, Wikispaces.
