Ninja Kicking myths about Social Media Marketing

Yes I am a Social Media Person.

No I don’t just get paid to be on Facebook.

Yes I am wearing a Ninja outfit.

Myth : It’s Easy and can be completed in an hour!

Ya right, this is the biggest myth of all. If this were true I would be out on the road before you could say Burger! Why burger? Well lets not deviate from the topic. It needs a lot of quickness and agility. A successful accomplishment of social media might expect following things from you:

• Convert artistic excellence into content excellence.
• Create multiple variety of content on multiple networks.
• Control the method of sharing content of many people in same organization.
• Media optimization.
• Responsive social media.
• Keep a Check on which strategies worked and which didn't.

Social media can’t be scaled easily; it needs skillful and agile process for successful venture marketing.

Myth : Managing it… is Free!

Creating relevant content which is optimized and then posting and circulating it on multiple networks, needs a lot of time and patience. The free managing tools that are offered for this method however aren't adequate. Hence, social media marketing needs an expert who is nimble, intelligent and fully fledged for managing information flare-ups.

*Taking a bow*

Premium tools for modifying and controlling social media aren't free. Commenting and posting on Facebook  twitter, etc. might not cost any penny, however sustaining it entails commitment (money) and progressive approach. So if you still think some tools are free that doesn't mean that social media itself is free platform!

Myth : Social Media= Facebook!

If you think its solely Facebook that does all the social media effectively, then you're highly mistaken!

It’s terribly essential to grasp the importance of every social networking site; because it might have a secret ingredient to serve for various purpose. If you're B2B enterprise then you ought to choose LinkedIn, because it is one among the quickest growing social networks. Twitter on the opposite hand, will assist you in building targeted group which is pricey and slow with Facebook.

Even though Facebook dominates its other competitors by nearly one billion users, it still doesn't mean that it's the sole web site to think about for social media promoting.

Myth: Create Social Networking Site And We Are Sorted!

Social networking websites on their own cannot serve you the purpose of successful marketing. There ought to be communicable and catching content on your web site and blogs such that individuals finds it fascinating enough to share and like and comment on it. The content here plays very important role in establishing your brand recognition.

Network Engineer / Don't care why the upgrade is making your computer slow guy

A network engineer is the hard labor guy of the IT world. He handles all the “Plumbing Work” for the company’s computers. You will usually find him creeping around the shadows of the server room, connecting offices with T1 lines, then hooking them up to the internet and the tedious process of configuring all internal systems such as net routers and firewalls.

The position of a network engineer usually spills over into some UNIX systems administration work, but practically, it’s a plumbing job. Getting a start up company with a small staff and only one location configured is a pretty easy network design job. But if you work for a larger established firm with offices everywhere, the network is incredibly complicated with tiers and tiers of network engineers.

 A network engineer needs to know how to use some basic network devices like “packet sniffers”. It’s a ‘noodly’ job which doesn’t utilize a lot of tools; you have to be able to think your way through problems and understand how stuff works. You may not actually spend a lot of time typing, but rather in front of white boards (like a chalk board you write on with markers) drawing pictures to visualize your solutions.

A typical day demands typical hours, but in the life of a network engineer actual work begins off-hours when they’re tinkering with something, because it might interrupt the systems while others work. These nocturnal creatures often arrive around 10 or 11 a.m., but they’re usually there until 7, 8 or 9 p.m. And most likely they’re always on call. Networking is a world in itself which is utterly fascinatingly glamorous to people in the field.

Today we thought we’d share some of the tech jargon we use out here at Online -- Goa

Bombastic Report
This could very well be called a smug report or a pompous report but I just love the word Bombastic. Is the Shaggy song Mr. Boombastic playing in your head yet? Coming back to the report, a bombastic report is a bug that is submitted by a snob who thinks he / she knows a lot about the design and is worldly wise enough to make irrelevant technical suggestions which he / she thinks is causing a problem.

Also see

High on Crack report: A report so completely in comprehensible that the person who submitted it must have been smoking pot.

Don’t know Don’t care report: A report usually with no information other than the phrase “ doesn't work.”


A Sitting Duck


All of us have those moments when we go to present our product that we know is as perfect as the almighty itself. But then the clients who feel they know better start pointing out changes because they feel if they don’t then they aren't adding value. So we add a sitting duck – A feature included to the design to draw attention and be removed, thus avoiding changes to the rest of the product.




Onion Code

As many of you might have already figured out. This is a code with too many layers. Here as you dive into the code, every layer has to be pushed on to the memory stack which may form abstraction and cause the user to cry sulpher tears.






Shhushhh Comments 
Also known as the Ninja comments, invisible comments, secret comments, or no comments.

Mad Girlfriend Bug
You know there is something going on but the software tells you everything is fine.
