"The Human Resources team is taking a leadership role in transforming individual knowledge into corporate wisdom to inspire innovation and to accelerate the profitability and success of organizations around the world," said Gerry Murphy, President and CEO of Peoplefluent. "We have listened to our customers, we have studied market dynamics and demographics, and we have taken our time to create a fully differentiated HCM solution for the Social Enterprise. With today's news, we redefine Social HCM by delivering a dynamic enterprise 'brain trust' through a social platform, woven throughout all Talent Management disciplines, that is focused more on people than on process. We are deeply committed to unlocking the intellectual assets and advancing the innovation inherent, yet untapped, in our customer organizations around the world."

With a heritage of innovation, recognized most recently with selection as a top HR product of the year by Human Resource Executive for its mobile applications and selection for the "Awesome New Technologies for HR" session at the HR Technology Conference & Expo for its newest Social HCM Suite, Peoplefluent has, again, built a product from the ground up, which brings to life a social, mobile and visual analytics experience to meet employees when, where and how they want to engage.

"Enterprise Social Networking has become a mainstream priority for the majority of organizations and has completely replaced the stagnant environment delivered by the corporate Intranet. Employers are realizing quickly that connecting people, processes and information into live 'knowledge hubs' fuels and nourishes idea flow and helps workers share, update and collaborate faster and more effectively," said Jim Lundy, Founder and CEO of Aragon Research. "The new Social HCM Product Suite delivered by Peoplefluent is a productivity strategy focused more on what employees know and how they can apply their knowledge and experience to advance the business than on their user ID and departmental silo."

Peoplefluent's Social HCM environment intersects with and enables all elements associated with an employee lifecycle providing engaging, robust and collaborative experiences with onboarding, ongoing performance management, real-time compensation analysis, and continuous learning opportunities. Powerful analytics and data, video and content resource libraries, social networks, collaborative workspaces, corporate news feeds, workflow analysis, and dynamic and ongoing user interaction accelerate knowledge transfer and enable dynamic and deeply informed decision-making. Specific product applications portal features will include:

Additional Portal Features and Functionality

Peoplefluent's Social HCM Suite extends far beyond embedded social features in traditional Talent Management products, and it is more comprehensive than a simple social envelope. With this new suite, employees have a centralized dashboard and profile that serves as a portal to their individual and uniquely personalized engagement with peer groups, data and the processes associated specifically with their daily professional experiences and workflow.

For a complete demo of Peoplefluent's new Social HCM Platform, please attend the "Awesome New Technologies" session at the HR Technology Conference & Exposition, scheduled for Tuesday, October 9, 2012 from 1:45-3:00 p.m. and open to full conference attendees.

Fact checking social networking posts

Theres no doubt social networking is an exploding trend.

Just one example is that Facebook now boasts over a billion users.

Networking sites, however, are lit up with rumors. Some are true but some are false.

Every time you log into a social networking site your screen is filled with information.

"Social media is something that's so readily accessible to everybody, social networker Sean McCartney said. Anybody with an idea and a keyboard can type up what you want and people view it as credible but a lot of times its really not."

Not everyone checks to see if the information is true, but Kyle Lowe does.

Hes an avid social media user.

Kyle says one reason he gets online is to keep up to date with current events. Often what he finds is false information.

"A lot of like celebrity deaths, there's a lot of those that are wrong on the internet all the time, Kyle said.

Offensive tribute pages devoted to alleged criminals on Facebook will not be tolerated as the social networking site takes a strong stance against internet trolls.

It comes after a man was arrested for allegedly creating a tribute page for Dale Cregan, the alleged killer of police officers Fiona Bone and Nicola Hughes.

Simon Milner, Facebooks director of policy, said there was no grey area when it came to the offensive tribute pages and that immediate action will be taken against anyone who deliberately sets up such a group.

Strong stance: Facebook will not tolerate offensive tribute pages to alleged criminals such as this page set up by an internet troll praising Dale Cregan, the man who allegedly shot dead two policewomen

Facebook arrest: Another man was arrested for allegedly setting up a page called 'Dale Cregan is a Hero', after the murders of Pc Nicola Hughes (right) and Pc Fiona Bone (left) after police traced the Facebook page back to his home

Police arrested and questioned a man in September under the Communications Act 2003 after they traced the Facebook page Dale Cregan is a Hero back to his home.

Call it self-marketing, personal branding, professional development, or any other buzzword you'd like. In any case, both finding a job and climbing the career ladder are all about investing in the business of you.

As a professional, you are a brand unto yourself. The target market for the unique value you provide are employers who are constantly bombarded with messages from your competitors (read: other industry professionals) and also always on the lookout for innovation. Develop and market your personal brand effectively by using traditional marketing techniques.

[More from Mashable: The Beatles Long and Winding Road to Digital]

Though the boundaries of traditional marketing no longer exist due to online media and new digital technologies, its core tactics can be reworked to guide your self-marketing strategy online.

The four Ps of marketing are product, price, promotion and place. In the realm of self-marketing, you are the product that's up for sale, which means you must successfully apply the traditional marketing model to you: the person, the professional and the brand.

To develop an online self-marketing strategy, you must determine who you are as a professional and build a personal brand around your core strengths, skills and experience. What do you bring to the table that others in your industry do not? Know your strengths and play to them by creating a consistent brand around yourself that's complete with mission, objectives and recognizable visual brand elements. Today's hiring managers are social consumers who are more apt to hire you based on the experience you're selling rather than your ability to carry out a few specific tasks.

Just as you instantly know a can of Coca-Cola when you see one (and know what to expect once it's open), your audience should know exactly what you bring to the table and what they're getting by working with you. Whether you've branded yourself as a no-nonsense people mover who's apt at managing staff, or an industry expert and consultant who provides fresh insights and innovates the way a company operates, be consistent. Decide on your core messages and stick to one brand name.

The importance of this element in online self-marketing is twofold. In addition to accounting for the value you add to an organization, you must decide what you, the hard-working professional, are worth and what your bottom line is -- particularly if you ever decide to freelance or become an independent contractor.

How to Create a Killer Personal Branding Campaign

DENVER - There's a new way for victims, survivors and family members of those affected by breast cancer to support one another. It's a social networking site called MyBreastCancerTeam.com.

CEO and founder Eric Peacock appeared on 9NEWS Friday morning.

MyBCTeam.com is a social networking site for anyone woman who has ever been impacted by breast cancer.

"We believe that if you are diagnosed with breast cancer it should be easy to find the best people around to help you," Peacock said.

Peacock also says the site offers more than a group page on Facebook.

"We kind of joke it's a combination of Facebook, Yelp and Pinterest rolled into one, Peacock said.

Peacock also says, there are several things you can do on the site. Find other women with the same type of breast cancer, get updates and referrals of local providers from other women who have been there, and also share photos.
