Link to us: http://snipurl.com/uxbc6

Good evening fellow readers, here we have another analysis based on the poll question ; Will you sign up LinkedIn to pursue your job? Amazingly we had received pretty good feedback on this weeks poll results. Thank you very much for your support in taking the time to answer this poll question.

Out of the 20 viewers whom had answered this poll question, 10 of them said YES which lead to 50% of the percentage that would definitely sign up for a LinkedIn profile to enhance their possibility in pursuing their dream job. Where as, 6 of the remaining viewers had said NO, which provides us with the 30% percentage of the results, these viewers certainly obtain a different outlook unto the different people, different perception idea on this question. The remaining 4 viewers had chosen MAYBE towards their idea on whether they should or shouldn't sign up for this website, or it could be that it is not a good platform for the line of work they might be interested in. These viewers are of the 20% percentage left in the pie chart.

It is not a must to follow in other people's footsteps, only your own. So if you personally feel that LinkedIn would not be a benefit to you, than don't highlight it as a yes, but rather stick to your decision. Either way, there are many ways of approaching a positive platform that would help kick start a specific career. Stick to what you believe in and be strongly opinionated about it.

Weekly Poll Result 7- Would you sign up a SNS for your pet?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/usnnj

The result for week 8's poll shown that most pet owners will not sign up a Social Networking sites for their own pets. This might be due to certain reasons such as they find there is no such need in creating a social networking site for their pet which does not even know how to use the internet.

Out of 11 respondents, 3 of them had chosen the answer yes which is willing to create an online profiule for their pets, while 2 out of 11 respondents are unsure whether to have a social networking site account for their pets. The majority which is 7 respondents out of a total of 11 had firmly chosen their answer which is not to sign up a social networking site for their pets.

Maybe some pet owners find it kiddy and weird to have a social networking site for their pet but their pet do not even know how to use the internet.

After all, it will be still the owner whom does the social networking and for their own purpose. Some are willing to sign up an online profile for their pets due to they find it interesting for pets to network online.

If the source is correct, by April, there will be a social networking site created only for OBJECTS. Yes! O-B-J-E-C-T-S.. Mouse, mouse pet, fan, table or even your cup will now go online, having their own online profile to make friends and social network with other mouse or objects..?? What do you think?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/upi6f

Last week our poll question was which are the top 5 twitters you would follow? As mentioned in previous post, there are a lot of celebrities and famous people are using Twitter, they even active than us as in their daily life.

As a result of voting, the top 1 twitter people would follow goes to Taylor Swift. Everyone knows Taylor Swift, guess her song "Love Story' was playing around wherever we go. I believe she has bunch of die hard fans that would waiting for her twitter update everyday. This shows how powerful a song can make a person famous. Second is President Barack Obama. Yes, the president of the United States. He twittered himself in the weeks leading up to the election, giving updates on appearances. Since he has taken the position, he is getting busier and his staff would help him to update his millions followers. Thirdly, there are same number of votes go to Ashton Kutcher and Britney Spears. Ashton Kutcher is the top Twitter user, he has over millions of followers. As for Britney Spears, she is very good in getting attention using Twitter. She uses Twitter to thank her fans, and give away concert tickets. Last, Mr.Bill Gates got the least votes. In fact, I think many people is following his Twitter, perhaps you are just not one of them. No doubt, he is a genius.

I believe Twitter features not just to get as much as followers as possible. Instead, it is a very useful social networking site for us to keep in touch with the world. Therefore, use your Twitter well. :)

Cheers,

Weekly Poll 5 ; Do you read through the terms and conditions before signing up ?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/ump3u

Users of the Internet hardly read up on terms and conditions on any social networking sites unless they have had a habit to do so. Do you read through them, right before you sign up to a social networking site? Are you aware of the policies that the social networking sites carry?


Through our poll of the week, we have encountered the answers for you. It is shown that around 6 persons had answered our poll. Regardless of the number, the knowledge gained from it, would be considered valuable. Out of 6, Only 1 person said they DO (YES) read through the terms and conditions before signing up on a social networking site. And the remaining 5 is divided with 3 persons stating that they SOMETIMES do read through the terms and conditions, where as 2 persons DO NOT (NO) read them at all.

Another weekly poll has helped us garner information on users using social networking sites. There will only be a few more polls up, please help us get more in-detailed information to help use with our cause.

Weekly Poll - What is the purpose of using social networking site?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/udh7p

Last week our poll question was about what is the main purpose of you using social networking sites? Speaking of social networking site, as I mentioned in previous post, social networking sites are the web page that helps the users to interact. Obviously, most of the people voted socialize(chat, friends) in last week poll. There are 8 out of 10 voters chosen they used social networking sites because of socialize, which mean they want to make new friends, interacting with peoples around the world.

However, this does not mean everyone use social networking sites because of socialize only. Yes, it is one of the reason. But social networking sites are so useful more than just socialize. Take a look at the features they have provided, whether is Facebook, Friendster or Myspace, they do working very hard to improve every features they could. Let see, what are the next answer people voted for.

Next, voters pick media(music or video). In my opinion, media is a very broad term, most of the users always share songs, videos through social networking sites. This is one of the easiest and fastest way to update your friends and family about any media elements you are sharing. For example, users like to post video in Facebook, indeed it is very convenient as people can watch it on Facebook and even leave comment afterall.

Last, the least people voted for is entertainment, for example, games. Well, people do like entertainments especially gaming. Game is fun especially comes to time killing! I'm sure there are still people very active in Restaurant City or Pet Society. It does addictive!!!

In conclusion, social networking sites are useful indeed. Users just have to manage their time well spending on thier social networking sites in a positive way. (:

Cheers,

Weekly Poll 3 Result: Do You Like New Friendster?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/ua95l

The question was asked to survey whether will the new Friendster be accepted and regain their its member? And the answer is obvious... Most of them doubt and answered MAYBE.. 4 out of 14 respondents answered NO while only 1 out of 14 respondents gave positive feedback which is YES! I guess there are several reasons why New Friendster couldn't once again gain its popularity..

Look at Facebook and MySpace.. their members had exceeded Friendster million miles away. This might due to the members being loyalty and not willing to even take a look at the New Friendster.

Since it took off in 2001, Friendster has been outshined by Facebook and Myspace over the years. But now... I guess its a No! No! Nine years down the road with its new looks, Friendster has developed many new features.

Friendster has definitely changed its looks; (1) the interface is much more structured with an Activity Stream that allows updates, comments and adding friends, (2) a redesigned About Me section showing a larger version of the primary photo, (3) Shoutout Stream has been added, (4) users are able to change their primary color of their home page by clicking a colored box on a user panel on the top right side.


But there's still hope because most respondents answered MAYBE?? Why not you, take a look and explore the New Frienster @ http://www.friendster.com/ and tell me why?

Just a simple report,

Justin =)

Weekly Poll 2 ; Which element is the most important in considering a S.N.S ?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/u8g6e

For Week 2, we came up with a poll question that focused on the importance of an element in a Social Networking Site, and we gave several choices to choose from. Here are the results that we have collected from our readers. Thank you for your participation. Much appreciated.

Design, Community, Media, Application and Ease of use were given as an answer of choice to our readers. With 30% of the votes, Ease of use was stated as the most important element that our readers would like to have on a social networking site. 25% was given to the Application element, where as 20% went to the Design element as voted by our readers. For the remaining 25%, the Community element receives 15% and the Media element as the lowest with 10% of the votes.

Frequent social networking users, clearly would prefer the advantage of an easy to use site. Personally, I am an avid Facebook user, I would most definitely want an easy to use S.N.S that would allow me to save time as I browse through either writing wall messages to my friends or playing the Interactive games that are provided by Zynga games. The Application element is quite important, from my point of view as it would allow us to be aware of all the application that are already in our social networking site compared to just adding and deleting upon usage.

The Design element works with every individual user to the social networking site but it focuses on the liking of a big group of users. The Community and Media element are a vast topic to discuss on as they are both quite important to a Social Networking Site, I believe so. They conjure up the daily working operation of the S.N.S. The users are the Community element, where as the Media element is to up hold the interactivity of the site.

At the end of the day, each of these elements have an important role in a social networking site and it is up to us as users to make use of it, the right way and of course, the ethical way. As my co-editor wrote previously, technology is moving rapidly, mostly the Internet world. So best keep your head in the game, before you get left behind.

Weekly Poll - Which social networking site do you prefer?

Link to us: http://snipurl.com/u637n

Last week, we came up with a poll to do a survey on which social networking site do you prefer. Now, the result is out. Thanks for everyone participation! =)

The given choices include Facebook, Friendster, My Space, Twitter and others sites. As the pie chart above shown, the most voted social networking site is Facebook! Obviously, Facebook did made an impact in today's society.The second most voted social networking site is Myspace. This is why our previous post talked about Facebook vs. Myspace. Well, different users have different needs, and Facebook and Myspace do provide different features to the users. Next rated social networking site is Twitter. Twitter is actually just as famous as Facebook, I bet all of us, came across the "follow me button" with a little cute bird icon right? People often use Twitter to follow thier favourite celebrities, friends etc. Lastly, the least rated social networking site is Friendster. I'm sure everyone knows that Friendster used to be like Facebook, who did not have an account in Friendster before? I think everyone did right?

In conclusion, the analysis is just to find out which social networking site people prefer the most? Technology is moving rapidly, especially the Internet world. Who knows another creative social networking site will be soon launched in few months later? Well, we'll see...

p/s: Is time for LiHui to get back to her S.N.S world!
