Social Media Marketing Vs. Social Media Networking

If you’ve been in and around the network marketing industry lately I’m sure you’ve heard the buzz around social media. And if you’re like myself you’re probably wondering okay so what’s this all about, well there actually are two forms of social media that many people seem to get confused with and it’s very important to recognize the differences between the two. Carbon Copy Pro is the perfect example of a social media marketing system, meaning that it’s sole purpose is to market a product not network one.

Let’s start off with social media networking because this is what most people are familiar with. The internet and Web 2.0 have ushered in brand new way for people to connect all over the globe by way of thousands of social networking sites some of the most popular being Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, linkedin and countless others. These sites serve the specific purpose for people to network and socialize on the internet, much the same way people network and socialize offline. I like to think of these sites as after hour spots were people can go to relax and let there hair down, without worrying about being harassed or sold on someone’s product or program.

Social media marketing is a way to market your products or services without interrupting people’s lives or harassing someone on Facebook. And if done correctly with a an effective marketing system like the Carbon Copy Pro System social media marketing is arguably the best and most cost effective way to run a successful online business. Once you understand the difference between the two I think you’ll realize that many people have it all wrong. Just like people don’t like to be sold at the mall, grocery store or gas station, trying to sell someone on a social media networking site is basically the same thing.

Twitter Worm

Blink182Tweets.com is a safe way to keep up to date with band Twitter updates without leaving yourself open to malicious attacks that are currently going around Twitter.com

A “worm” spreading spam messages promoting another website was first introduced into Twitter in the early hours of Saturday.

Within hours it had spread across the network, infecting scores of accounts and forcing administrators to delete 10,000 messages to stop it infiltrating further.

Users spread the virus simply by clicking onto an infected page.

They then began unwittingly sending out messages – or “tweets” – to other users promoting the site StalkDaily.com.

Despite efforts to curb the virus, Twitter was hit by a second, more intense, bout of attacks later in the day and another early on Sunday.

Twitter then announced early on Monday that it was facing a new “manifestation” of the worm. Messages advised users not to click on links until the problem was rectified.

The website emphasised that no sensitive information such as passwords or telephone numbers had been compromised and suggested it would take legal action against the perpetrators.

A worm is a computer programme which spreads through a network by making copies of itself when users inadvertently click on something.

According to the Twitter news service BNO, a teenager from New York claimed responsibility for the worm “Mikeyy” saying that he had been bored.

He said that he had been trying to highlight ways in which the phenomenally popular site could be vulnerable to hackers.

“I did this out of boredom to be honest,” he was quoted as saying.

“I usually like to find vulnerabilities within websites and try not to cause too much damage.”

Twitter – a so-called “micro-blogging” service – has seen phenomenal growth in the last year rivalling Facebook and MySpace as one of the most popular social networking sites among British users.

It played a key role in the US election with candidates including Barack Obama posting messages on the site and British celebrities such as Stephen Fry have also become high profile users.

Users post short tweets either directly onto the site or by mobile phone.

These are then forwarded on to their network of friends and contacts.
