On Successful Networking - Part Two: How to Avoid Introduction Faux Pas - JD Supra

Twitter is set to permanently delete inactive accounts from December 11 that have not been used for more than six months. The action will also impact accounts belonging to the deceased.

In a statement given to The Verge, Twitter said on Tuesday that as part of its commitment to serve the public conversation, it is working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across the platform.

"Part of this effort is encouraging people to actively log-in and use Twitter when they register an account, as stated in our 'Inactive Accounts Policy'.

"We have begun proactive outreach to many accounts who have not logged into Twitter in over six months to inform them that their accounts may be permanently removed due to prolonged inactivity," said Twitter.

Any account that hasn't signed in for more than six months will receive the Twitter alert before the micro-blogging platform takes the action.

"We do not currently have a way to memorialize someone's Twitter account once they have passed on, but the team is thinking about ways to do this," Twitter spokesperson was quoted as saying.

A BBC reporter first spotted this and posted on Twitter.

"More on Twitter's action on inactive accounts: The company is clawing back accounts that have been inactive for more than six months, which is likely a very large number. Inactive user hasn't logged in. Seeking clarification on what happens to useful/fun bot accounts," Dave Lee tweeted.

Social media is the collective of online communications channels dedicated to community-based input, interaction, content-sharing and collaboration. Websites and applications dedicated to forums, microblogging, social networking, social bookmarking, social curation, and wikisare among the different types of social media.

Here are some prominent examples of social media:

Brian Solis created the following social media chart, known as the conversation prism, to categorize social sites and services into various types of social media. (See a larger image)

Social media is becoming an integral part of life online as social websites and applications proliferate. Most traditional online media platforms include social components, such as comment fields for users. In business, social media is used to market products, promote brands, connect to current customers and foster new business.

On the other hand, the integration of social media in the business world can also pose challenges. Social media policies are designed to set expectations for appropriate behavior and ensure that an employee's posts will not expose the company to legal problems or public embarrassment. Such policies include directives for when an employee should identify himself as a representative of the company on asocial networkingwebsite, as well as rules for what types of information can be shared.

Heres the graph of top 15 social networking sites in the world. As you can see Facebook is leading the pack with a huge margin in front of Youtube. Then theres another gap of similar size to Instagram on the third place.

NEW: Instagram has now 1 billion users. That is the answer to the question, what will be the next big thing.

Here is the most up to date list of monthly active users for the top social networking sites. If you want the numbers just scroll down. First, youll find top social networking sites followed by top 10 apps.

Always fresh data: just bookmark this page and come back whenever you need new data.The findings are based on latest original research, and we update the numbers as soon as the new data comes in.

Maybe you know the top 3 or even the top 5 social networking sites, but do you know whats happening behind them? We maintain the list of top 15 most popular social networking worldwide.New social media sites are coming and going, but these have stood the test of time. We update this list of social media sites with new data as it becomes available. The data in this list combines global and US social media visitors. The actual numbers of monthly visitors are gathered from different sites. We bring you the latest data out there.

Take a look at the visual size comparison below.

Find out how to build your willpower!

Facebook jumped by 100 million monthly active users from 2.13 billion in December 2017 to 2.23 billion as of June 30, 2018. The rate of growth seems to continue at 15 million active users per month. So, by the end of the year we should see 2.35 billion Facebook monthly active users. Heres the post where Zuckerberg announced the newsabout reaching the 2 billion milestone:

Again, on this graph you can see the three large circles dominating the rest. Only Twitter and Reddit battling it out for the fourth space seem to come close to the top 3. However, in Russia VK has a huge penetration, dominating the Russian speaking world as Facebook does globally.

Take a look at the visualization showing the most popular social networks around the world. The world map of social networks 2017 is based on recent traffic data (January 2017). Check out the world map of social networks

And wait, we have news for you! There is some indication that a new social network might take the to spot. YouTube might be taking over Facebook in unique monthly visitors:

YouTube 2 Compete Rank | 2 Alexa RankFacebook 3 Compete Rank | 3 Alexa Rank

Youtube has added 300 million people to its logged-in audience in less than a year. I believe this trend to continue and Youtube might reach 2 billion people within next 10 months.

With the growing popularity of mobile social networking, we have also created a list of 10 leading social apps globally. These apps are in fierce competition with the main social sites already!

The picture here is a bit different if we look at the brand names. WhatsApp and Messenger are in a close race for the top spot. But both of these most popular social media apps are owned by Facebook so the competition may not be as fierce as between completely separate companies. Then theres a lot of Asian apps and then on the sixth spot is Instagram, again owned by Facebook.

Social networking apps are going to grow even bigger as people adopt them into their everyday lives. Here we have listed the mobile-first social media platforms. But the Facebook mobile app would dominate this list with 1.37 billion monthly active users. As smartphones adoption continues, the share of the desktop use of social media platforms will fall .

For a list of social media apps that are smaller check List of virtual communities with more than 100 million active users from Wikipedia.

Top 15 Most Popular Social Networking Sites and Apps [August ...

With the internet buzzing with social media, there are similarly many ways to use social media to network, and eventually find a job. And, not only can you find a job with this medium, but you can also create and cultivate a professional brand using social networking sites and ways to build a strategic online presence to help with your job searching and career building.

Courting passive candidates, those not actively seeking employment, was the main reason for employers tapping social media. Use these top social and professional networking sites below to enhance your career and boost your job search.

LinkedInLinkedIn, with 530 million current users, is considered the top spot for people looking for work. However, many users don't take the necessary steps to maximize their chances, including optimizing their profile, creating their network, joining groups, incorporating work samples, and accumulating endorsements. Make sure that you reach out to first, second, and third-degree connections for information, advice, and introductions to hiring managers. Join professional groups related to your interests and contribute to discussions to enhance your visibility as a potential candidate.

LinkedIn is also a great source for accessing job postings.The search results include a listing of jobs that correspond to your interests and also a list of individuals in your network who might be able to refer you to relevant jobs. Alumni from your college who are working at the employers advertising jobs will also be noted on your results list.

FacebookMany employers will place job advertisements on Facebook. You can find these opportunities by searching for Jobs on Facebook in the search window on the site.However, the greatest value of Facebook is the opportunity to solicit the assistance of your contacts with your job search. Ask if your contacts are aware of any jobs related to your interests and also request that your friends provide referrals to any people who they know in your field for advice and information relevant to your job transition.

Join groups of people with common interests and network with them.Be careful how you proceed if you are currently employed and have Facebook contacts who might report your activity to your employer.

InstagramInstagram is a good way to establish your personal brand while demonstrating your social media skills and enhancing your overall digital savvy. It's also a smart way to glean information and insights about a company where you might want to work. Did an employee post a pic of "massage Mondays" and you're a corporate masseuse?

Does a company showcase "Fajita Fridays" special and you're a Mexican chef? Instagram is a great way to see inside a company to then demonstrate how you'd be a good fit. Instagram also provides a vehicle for you to post visual representations related to your professional or academic projects.

TwitterActive Twitter users can promote their professional brand by posting information of interest to individuals in their field. One benefit of Twitter is the free-flowing communication that allows you to talk directly to recruiters and hiring managers without the need to submit a resume first. Search for #recruiters and other keywords related to your industry.

However, while Twitter is an excellent networking tool, you need to support your efforts with a blog or LinkedIn profile. No one will hire you simply based on a Twitter profile to start they'll need a link providing them with more information about you.

Google+According to Statistic Brain, Google+ had395,250,000 activeusers in September 2017. Job seekers can connect with people that they know and communicate with groups of individuals through "circles" of contacts. Those networks can be tapped for referrals professionals who might share information, advice and job leads.

Users can join communities based on their career interests and view content about trends/issues in those sectors and communicate with individuals who are professionally active in those niches.

YouTubeYouTube is an excellent vehicle for incorporating video samples of your work, as well as evidence of your communication skills or personality into your job search. Of course, musicians, actors, teachers, consultants, and trainers have used the site for years to promote their skills.Many other job seekers can benefit from creating a video profile that showcases their persona and demonstrates their career-related skills.Examples might include an "elevator speech" summarizing your interests and assets targeted towards a career field of interest or a brief show and tell regarding a successful academic or work project.

YouTube toutsa user base of over one billion individuals.Job seekers can post videos on YouTube to attract the attention of employers or link YouTube videos to their job search communications or other social media sites like LinkedIn or Facebook.

PinterestPinterest claims over 125 million active monthly users. The site will be most useful for creative types like interior decorators, artists, and graphic designers who can post visual representations of their work.The site is heavily trafficked by women, so professionals like contractors who wish to promote their services to women are likely to accrue the greatest benefit from the site.
