Why do some people have the little facebook “f” logo on the side of their avatars on here?

Question by .Android S (17X83A): Why do some people have the little facebook “f” logo on the side of their avatars on here?
Lately I’ve been noticing that some profile avatars on here have that little blue facebook “f” logo on the side. It’s like a little blue square with a facebook “f” logo. I have come across quite a few recently on the avatars of a number of people. It seems it started appearing just a few weeks or a few months ago. Why do some people have this?

I believe that means they ‘share’ their Yahoo Answers updates on Facebook. Watch when you post a question or answer. Just by the SUBMIT button is a place where you can do that. Personally, I don’t want all of my questions and answers going out on Facebook for the world to see. Bad enough they are here!

To download this song for free go to: www.freelancewhales.com The new Twitter.com is coming soon to all users! Twitter is the best way to discover what’s new in your world. From football to film to philanthropy, people are using Twitter to discover what’s new about what they find interesting. Twitter has always been about getting a lot in a little. The constraint of 140 characters drives conciseness and lets you quickly discover and share what’s happening. Yet, we’ve learned something since starting Twitter—life doesn’t always fit into 140 characters or less. Introducing a new, re-engineered Twitter.com that provides an easier, faster, and richer experience. On the site, you’ll see the familiar timeline, yet underneath each Tweet is a handful of information, deeper context and even embedded media. Simply click on an individual Tweet and a details pane slides out on the right and reveals this content.

Q&A: Why do debates on internet message boards almost always end up this way?

Staff — Sun, 02 Jan 2011 11:10:15 +0000

Question by HollyMarie: Why do debates on internet message boards almost always end up this way?
Why is it that when having a discussion about something on a message board, there always seems to be at least one person who is completely unable to have an intelligent discourse. This person will continue to insist they are right about something, no matter how obvious the mounting evidence is against their point of view. They do not care about the truth or about learning at all. They only appear about their “online reputation” and fighting to the death to be “right.”

They re-check the message board at least once every hour. They respond to long, thought out contributions by quoting small bits of it and taking them out of context. They will do this over and over until the other person just gives up and leaves. They will then declare themselves correct.

I know there are hard-headed people in any kind of communication. But it seems to me that this happens SO MUCH more on internet message boards than in real life conversation or even a real time chat online.

Why do you think this is?

I think maybe it’s because the constant record of every word someone says can be too easily used to twist around their meaning. What do you think?

Answer by zorro_rojo
Hello. Believe me, I feel your pain. This kind of people drives me nuts as well.
I think this happens with certain kinds of people:

1.- People who have an agenda (usually religious or political), usually accompanied with incorrigible opinions.
2.- People who think with their emotions rather than their brain (they can’t deal with logic at all).
3.- People who can’t stand being wrong, ever, because their self-esteem depends on being right always.

I know what it’s like to live with a person that fits #3 exactly. Your best bet to avoid conflict with people like this is to not fall for their “bait”, i.e. usually they will go around boldly stating highly questionable things without any solid proof, it is best to just reply with “I do not want to argue about it”, problem solved, it doesn’t mean you accept or believe in what they said it simply says you don’t want to discuss it. These people can easily verbally abuse you if you tell them the real deal, a lot of times they just want to be able to immerse themselves into a world of fantasy where everything is perfect. Telling them the truth pulls them out of their fantasy world and onto reality, and that is sure to make them mad. Even when you’re correct and/or trying to teach them something useful. Also, in my experience most people don’t really care about correct knowledge. Most seem only interested in highly questionable “facts” that cater to their emotions and feelings, regardless of anything else.

As for why it happens so much more online, I think the answer is easy: People like this are very annoying to talk with, so I guess they end up being lonely and thus, spending a lot of time online.

Well, I hope my little rant helps you a bit in your quest for understanding, lol. Don’t really care if other people vote me down for this, I just felt I needed to say it…

are career/job search websites considered “social media”?

Question by wazgud II :::>★: are career/job search websites considered “social media”?

…doesn’t that contradict the fact that Craigslist is considered social media?

Best answer:

Answer by malica
Sites who’s only purpose it is to find jobs are not considered social media, however sites like LinkedIn which is designed to help you keep in touch with your current and former co-workers (and those connections could help you get a job later) would be considered social media by most people.

How Is Seo (search Engine Optimization) Going To Be Changed By Smo (social Media Optimization).?

Staff — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:35:36 +0000

SEO and SMO goes hand in hand in my opinion.
It is best not to rely on one source of traffic — imagine if 80% of your traffic comes from Google and the change in their algorithm causes your site to lose its ranking. That’s 80% of your traffic wiped out!
SMO is a strategy that has emerged that has the potential to create huge amounts of traffic for the site. Doing SMO can complement your SEO efforts.
One tactic — creating linkbaits or great content that people will naturally link to — people will tag, link, mention in blogs and put in their del.i.cious can boost your link efforts tremendously.
Plus, the heart of SMO is creating GREAT content — which is also the main ingredient in a successful SEO effort.
SMO can help rethink how to do SEO. Instead of webmasters buying software to automate the request for link emails, they simply need to create great content that they can leverage in social media optimization.
Using these strategies hand in hand can lead to the achievement of one goal — get more traffic to a site.

How Does Texting From A Cell To Update One’s Twitter Account Work?

Staff — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:35:51 +0000

Since I don’t text often, I have the 250 txt per month plan with att. If I submit my cell # to Twitter, will I be able to txt a tweet to Twitter without getting any updates from other people. Can I just tweet but not have twitter txt me with updates the people I follow post? Will the txt still count as part of my plan or will it be a different charge? Hope my questions are clear.
