According to All Facebook, I read up on s
ome new features for MySpace users. After launching Twitter integration, MySpace partnered with Facebook as well. MySpace has a feature for their users to syndicate their status update to Facebook. So, what’s the big deal? Well, to active this feature, you must allow MySpace to grant permission to access all your photos, video sand social information, whether you are logged into MySpace or not. But, why? No one knows but MySpace and Facebook.

How to Liven Up Your Social Media Personality
Posted by Nan Ross on May 2, 2010 · 3 Comments
Many of us take advantage of multiple free social media platforms to market our businesses but, I think we get the concept all wrong. Why do we focus so much on marketing our business, when we should be branding our personality? People like brands with personality. A brand’s attitude, tone and characteristics create a touching point that attracts an audience. Sounds easy but some just don’t get it.
Think about it. How many professionals on your friends lists are providing the same exact product as you? Hundreds, even thousands! But, that’s not the problem. The problem is everyone has the same idea and is speaking the same message in the same boring voice. There’s no style, no swagger, no damn personality.
