How to make Social Networking effective?

Before we can hope to help, we must research issues for ourselves. Then, in order to make a difference, we need to build relationships with our leaders. Social media marketing has been proven an effective, productive avenue to build relationships with leaders we cannot reach physically.

First then, we study the issue, then we build social equity. Some of our leaders are only a tweet away. :)

I support with  sonam,if we do not have the  proper way ie email or phone or person in contact it  wont reach the  organisation

Mr. Kastury has said the most. I support the facts that Kastury brought up

I agree with u sonam.. In this fast world we havent have any time to share our views with our friends & neighbours. Social Networking builds a community in which we can discuss, learn, comment, appreciate, oppose some arguments eventhough we have not meet our community members. We are spread all over the country but are mind may think alike.. this is a good gift.

i also support sonam kapoor but if we doesn't have the e-mail id of the person to whom i wanted to contact but i don't have the e-mail then what can we do in that case

so think in that case only we have to write article and leave it open on internet

All mediums and even Social Network sites ( a medium) have its limitations. We are to accept this.

Equally, if an openion /idea is made popular and acceptable on such sites, it has is effects on the " real world" ( things here are regarded as 'virtual world'). To get real world actions, we are to go ahead as have been proposed here by some of our valued members.

I agree with sonam mam .Today social networking is a big challenge for us.Social networking is the grouping of individuals into specific groups, like small rural communities or a neighborhood subdivision, if you will.Although social networking is possible in person, especially in the workplace, universities, and high schools, it is most popular online.

To make social networking effictive it is necessary that a common person who is giving his view must be reached to the desired person.

Wow!!

I have nothing to add after the exhaustive actionm plan from Mr. Kastury!! Way to go Sir!! :) And yes I also wish to appreciate your effort in making available QUALITY content and extremely though provoking articles for us all to gain more from here on toostep.

Kudos, on this one too!!

HI Abraham,

First of all, let me give you big appreciation for the thought provoking and creative issues you are bringing to lime light. Its really a great job you are doing for the society.

Now coming to your point, how to give maximum impact - We can't use a hammer to drill a whole! it is as simple as that.

The purpose of social media is different for different walks of lives. Similarly a lot of other medias as well. So what is the answer. There are a lot of forums, associations and committees specific to each of the issues that we face today, that can generate some needed noice to get the attention.

The current political & administrative system in democracy have evolved through a number of tried and time tested ways and means. I feel that is the only way to address these issues. To do this, each of us can take only one issue and become an activist and do things to bring about that change by winning the acceptance of the masses. We can't just gather sufficient critical mass of approval just through Social networking or any other one media for that matter. But if it shadows the currrent system that is followed for gaining attention to each of the issues, one may have some positive results.

Use social media and any other media, also, as a part of awareness creation. Use it to get the feedback and then work out a strategy that will bring about the solution and again use media to get acceptance of the solution. After this, there has to be someone who can voluntarily show commitment and spend time and energy in executing it.

Imagine if we won independence just through a social media, how simple it would have been. Media was extensively used only to generate awareness and then understand the pulse.

As far as the social networks are concerned, I feel, it has to go through a two step process.

First step being submitting ideas, views opinions and articles the way you are doing, and gather different opinions, ideas etc.

The second step should be, which is missing in all the places, is to provide the summary and final frozen views of the participants, compile them by ranking based on other characteristics of relevance to the respondant and declaration by the author the out come of the survey.

Then there could be optional steps - such as someone can volunteer to take it to next stage and drive it through to see the results.

Finally, we should remember the following

1. The sampling that we do today is very little, compared to the magnitude of the issue effecting different walks of life.

2. We are, usually, unaware of so many dependent and interlinked issues with it so the discussion may become inappropriate, for those who are viewing it from a completely different perspective than you are intending.

3. There are governements and administrative mechanisms to do this and hence we may not have that much of flexibility to bring about any changes that we want, no matter even if our ideas are revolutionary. So the concerned departments, forums and individuals need to find a way to take it through the proper channel to attain the desired results.
