The article, Social Networks Go to Work, briefly notifies us about the importance of social networking in business and how it affects business in a variety of ways. Using “Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube”, the article explains that there are a high number of employees, businessmen, and organizations go into the market.
The most visited sites for personal reasons are “LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and Digg”, the article states. The business people use these social networks for arranging meetings, meeting and knowing about colleagues, and doing research.
Yet, malware is a highly-risky security issue using social networks. It is so broad on twitter and expands itself to other social networks. To solve this problem, as the article claims, “companies [must] have corporate policies for network monitoring.” To solve this, many managers have applied a “unified communications suite.” Indeed, “FaceTime Communications” provides tools to such problems.
lvinpress.com, the most trusted independent Kurdish news agency and indeed the most popular, uses social networking for their business. Using Facebook, lvinpress.com, expands its news on the web in a blink of an eye. I see its articles on social networks a hundred times per night, from peoples and other news agencies to pages. These people highly rely on lvinpress.com to get their most-up-to-date news and events published. Lvinpress.com managers expanded their activity on Facebook, and, through this, they advertise for their high quality printed-magazines, Lvin, Lvin Buniyad, and Lvin Science. Of course, that is why their printed-work sales, compare to other printed newspapers and magazines in Iraqi Kurdistan, is very high and they can easily drive the political parties and their leaders up the wall. They simply try to be the most-read news agency on the web as well on paper backed with a huge support of advertising the agency performs for other companies and businesses. I assume that it is a unique example for a perfect usage of social networking.
