Big JibberJobber News Create Log Entries From an Email This is a feature that has been on our list for over 18 months.   Were really excited to announce it is finally available to you (it is a premium feature). In a nutshell, this new feature allows you to create a Log Entry by sending an email to a special email address. When I say Log Entry, realize you can: Also create an Action Item, Associate it with multiple contacts, companies and job postings, and Change the time when you get an email reminder, if it is an action item.

Now, go to your email client and send an email to someone in your JibberJobber network, and BCC your new unique email addy you just created.   I use BCC so people dont reply to all and have a chance of creating a Log Entry.   NOTE: I put in multiple email addresses all corresponding to contacts I have in JibberJobber, and a Log Entry was created for each email address I put in the email.   THAT IS COOL!

5 Reasons Why You Shouldnt Trust Social Networks - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

5 Reasons Why You Shouldnt Trust Social Networks - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career The most common clash I see between the social network user and the hosting company is that users want functionality and free connectivity, while companies are looking to pleasure investors by generating revenue. The reason why MySpace wont exist in five years is because they chose advertising over the user experience, whereas Facebook did the opposite. MySpace made quick money (more of a get rich quick model), while Facebook took the long-term approach, which has proven to be successful. This post is not meant to say that social networks are evil or that you shouldnt register for accounts and be active on them. I preach about social networking every day, so Im not going against my core message, but I do believe you have to be aware of the issues that are going to affect your life on the net now and for time to come. Facebook has triumphed over Google when it comes to traffic, and now they have 6.8% of all business internet traffic, so theres no doubt they have a financial future. Below are five reasons why you shouldnt trust social networks that youre probably already active on and how to manage the networks more effectively, and without fear. 1. If you dont pay Ning, you lose your community. This is perhaps the most bold move this year by a social network. Nings new CEO will be forcing people who have free (advertising-based) social networks on the platform to either pay or lose their platform/community. There are 2.3 million networks on Ning, a website that allows everyone to establish their own social network. Users will have to pay or export their network to another platform, which Im sure will be complicated. The reason why this is such a significant play is that people have invested a lot of time with their Ning communities, including recruiting new members, building profiles, sharing content, and the promotion of their Ning communities, which helps the owner and Ning, as a company looking to build their brand. Other social networks might take the same route at some point, which means we might have to pay to play on these networks and if we lose a percentage of people who wont pay, it could really hurt our personal and professional relationships. Im concerned, but r elieved that I didnt build a Ning community, because a lot of people I know are either going to make the investment or be stuck with almost nothing in return for their evangelism and time. What you should do: Use social networks to market your brand, but dont invest your soul in them because the devil might take it from you, without your consent. Spend less time social networking and more time developing your blog as your main content source and as the website you control. The CEO of Ning cant shut your blog down, nor can anyone else. I would rather have ten thousand blog subscribers than twenty thousand Facebook friends because those could wash away next week depending on Facebooks policies. 2. Facebook doesnt care about your privacy. Facebook changes their privacy policy every other week. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, even commented that the age of privacy is over, in a TechCrunch interview, talking about how our culture is public now and that social norms have changed. Their last privacy change really scared a lot of people, especially those who live private lives (I accept all friends and dont discriminate between family and strangers). Facebook automatically shares personal information with some pre-approved sites and youll have to spend time opting out of if you so choose. The information that is captured is your name, profile picture, gender, friends and connections, and user ID, basically everything that is important on your profile. A report by Sophos shows that 95% of people are against Facebooks changes, which is a clear indication that the world is not ready for complete transparency. What you should do: Be smart about the information you publish online. Would your grandma approve of it? I would think about all of your content as public and not private so when Facebook or another social network makes it public in the future, you wont be as upset. Zuckerbergs comments show a glimpse at Facebook future, so prepare yourself now for armageddon. 3. Twitter sells your tweets to the Library of Congress. Without your approval, Twitters founders made an agreement with the Library of Congress, allowing them to store all of your tweets forever. Overall, this is several billion tweets that have been publicly posted, regardless if the tweet says that you just brushed your teeth or that you just came back from your trip to Russia. They believe its an amazing thing and it shows that people care about your personal life now, but I think that its a major cover up (possibly a conspiracy). Basically, the government wants to have more control over online communication including Twitter so this move will allow them to spy on us. What you tweet today could hurt your career in five years. Everything is on record, so if youre drunk and tweet something you shouldnt have, the Library of Congress will have it. If you commit a crime in ten years, the judge might use a tweet against you. What you should do: Just like with Facebook, youll want to be extra careful with your tweets now because they are part of your permanent record. They are also viewable in search engines, including Google, Yahoo!, and Bing. 4. You will receive spam and viruses. Spam and viruses are commonplace on social networks. There is even some virus going around on Gmail right now, so its not just social networks. In a recent study by JanRain of 170,000 websites, 39% of people trusted Google with their login credentials, 23% trusted Facebook, and only 6% trusted Twitter. As you can see, people are paranoid with social networking and I believe its because of past issues. I bet youve received Facebook spam from your friend. It made them look bad, even if it wasnt their fault because their name and face was attached to it, and it was just plain annoying for you to deal with. I remember viewing a survey where it showed that 1% of Twitter profiles were spam accounts. Sophos identified that 57% of social networking users have reported spam, which is a 70.6% increase compared to last year. What you should do: Be conscious of who you are friending and whose following you, so that you can block spam before you become a spam bot yourself. I doubt social networks will ever completely block spam because spammers will experiment with new methods again and again. 5. They are restricted in the workplace. A lot of companies, especially financial institutions, block social networking sites out of fear that data could leak. A new report out shows that 38% of chief information officers (CIOs) have now implemented stricter social networking policies. If social networks didnt have issues, then they might not be blocked by as many companies. Of course, you can use your mobile phone at work to tap into your social profiles, but companies are getting wiser and can tap into your activities if its a corporate phone. I predict that there will be more formal policies in the future, but it will take companies time to adjust to the new media landscape and to how connected their employees are to the outside world, not just the inside. What you should do: Ask your manager or email IT to find out what your corporate policy is concerning social networking at work. The more you know what not to do, the more you can use your network to support your professional career, as well as your company, without any hassles.

How Can Social Media Make or Break an Interview

How Can Social Media Make or Break an Interview Social media has infiltrated every aspect of our lives and revolutionized the way we communicate. We can reunite with childhood friends, send messages to celebrities and share ideas, photos, and videos to anyone, anywhere. So, it’s no surprise that recruiters and employers are turning to social media to find talent. Nine out of 10 employers plan on using social media to recruit employees, and while this creates more opportunities to find jobs in a tough economy, this capability comes with new repercussions. We’re used to having our social media profiles stay in a personal, private space. We share photos and content with our friends, and we feel we can post and say what we want. But, with social recruiting comes a new context around Facebook and Twitter. These social media channels are no longer strictly personal our professional lives and reputation are entering the mix. Recruiters and employers are on social media channels, and job seekers can leverage their presence on such a personal network to find their perfect jobs. What better place to build your brand, network with hundreds of connections, and showcase personal accomplishments than Facebook and Twitter? But, without precautions in place, social media can ruin the job hunt. Here are four ways social media can affect the first step of finding a job â€" the interview: Two ways social media can give you a competitive advantage before the interview. 1) Networking heaven: Half or more of all jobs come through word of mouth with your connections â€" friends, families, and colleagues, according to a large body of academic research. Where else can you immediately reach hundreds of people in mere seconds? Social media, of course. In fact, 60% of employers cite Facebook’s networking abilities as important. Job seekers can use this pool of connections two ways: first, to land the interview. When you ask your network for possible leads, chances are they will consult their own network as well, dramatically increasing the reach of your request for job opportunities. Second, once you have an interview, look through your network (friends, and friends of friends), to see if you are connected to the organization (does your childhood friend’s brother know the CEO?). When you tap into your network for jobs, make sure to treat each and every Facebook or Twitter connection as a possible client, colleague, or manager. You don’t want to raise any concerns before you even start a job. Related: Why You MUST Complete Your Facebook Profile 2) Shows your personality: Employers hire people they like and want to spend time with they hire people who they think could be their friends. This makes sense, considering how much time we spend in the office. In a face-to-face interview, it is possible that your potential employer will ask about your hobbies and personal interests to get to know you at a more personal level. But, it may not be appropriate to go off on a tangent about your European backpacking trip or your love for Italian cuisine (although that is a great way to show your personality). Instead, get a leg up before the interview and use your Facebook profile to showcase your personal experiences. Post (appropriate) pictures of your last trip, of your soccer team, or your community involvement to show your out-of-the-office side. And two ways social media can risk your professional reputation. 3) You are instantly associated with your whole network: You may have the perfect social media profile â€" you don’t have any profanity, alcohol references, and your photos are clean and show who you are. But, what are your 400 friends posting and tagging you in? All it takes is one out-there friend tagging you in an offensive post to rip apart your credibility and professionalism. If a potential employer sees a questionable photo in which you’re tagged, he won’t care if it’s your photo or a friend’s photo the photo will raise eyebrows and question your professionalism. Read more: Why Your Facebook Friends Matter to Employers 4) The internet never forgets: Facebook has been around a long time, and in those nine years, we are all certainly allowed mistakes, embarrassing moments, and/or regrets. The problem is that while our friends may forgive and forget, Facebook does not. No one, not even the most perfect candidate, wants photos or posts of them from their teenage years. Be aware that recruiters and potential employers will look at your profile, and they will go back in time. And with the relatively new Facebook Timeline, it only takes a few swipes of the finger to view what you were doing in 2009. Social media recruiting is becoming more and more important â€" for employers, it is a cost effective, convenient way to find talent and to prescreen candidates. And for job seekers, once they understand the potential dangers of Facebook (one offensive post can scar your reputation), they can easily build a positive, personal brand that will make them an appealing candidate. An employer is more likely to interview a candidate that has a fun, interesting profile than someone who has maximum privacy filters turned on and doesn’t allow employers to get to know them.

Hmmm... is this me - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog

Hmmm... is this me - The Chief Happiness Officer Blog Last night I was reading the excellent thriller novel Killer Move by Michael Marshall when I came to this passage where one of the main characters arrives at his office and runs into his assistant: Hows I struggled and failed to come up with the name of her spawn. Feeling better? This was not something I cared about in the least, but that morning a Danish positivity blogger had suggested going out of ones way to attempt to get inside other peoples lives and minds, however small and unappealing they might appear, as a thought experiment in connection building. Now this may be conceited of me but I gotta ask is that me? There arent that many Danish positivity bloggers and this is exactly the kind of thing I write about, eg. here, here and here. Ive been featured in The Times, The NY Times, Washington Post, BBC and Economic Times of India but this would be the first time Ive ever been mentioned in a crime novel :o) Thanks for visiting my blog.
