<span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Foursquare is an application for smart phones created in 2009 by Dennis Crowley and Naveen Selvadura, which is used for checking in the places you have been to, like stores, restaurants, and bars. You also can know where your friends are by using this application. <br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Foursquare is a useful tool to engage customers of the business, especially it is a good way for the small business to advertise their produces and services. When users check in to a new place, 3 points will be given on Foursquare; when check in to places the users have been before, 1 point will be given. So users can be stimulated to check-in when they go to the places they like. This app allows people comment on the places. For example, when I do not know where I can go for food, I always use the Foursquare to look for a good place, and also I always choose the one who has the most comments. In this way, people know where they should go for shopping and fun. <br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, privacy is a big problem for Foursquare. Foursquare make users expose their location when they are using this app checking in to a place. One of my friends told his boss that he was sick and could not go to work that Day, but he checked in into a bar. His boss found out he lied to him, so he got fired.<br /><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personal speaking, I like foursquare very much. On by typing in the key word of the place you want to check in, you can know the full name. In this way, you also can know how to get the places you want to o but you do not know where it is. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is convenient for you to share your life with your friend. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Crisis communication, an important concept in PR and itsrole cannot be over emphasized in any company. Encountered with any crisis that greatly negatively influences its reputation, any organization is supposed to have the awareness of crisis communication and then follows strategies of crisis management. A good case is demonstrated in China—Shanghai official metro weibo(ID:</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">shmetro) (twitter in Chinese version) reaction to Shanghai subway accident.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">On September 27, 2011</span></span><span style="font-family: 宋体; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">,</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“a subway train slammed into the rear of another train in a sprawling transit line” as is reported in NYtimes.com lately. Shmetro released the first message at 14:10 to warn passengers of longer waiting intervals due to equipment failure. And then (at 14:40) it consecutively posted two messages on the apologies and claims on this <span style="color: black;">initiative<span style="color: red;"> </span>.</span> In the next few hours, shmetro <span style="color: black;">constantly released<span style="color: red;"> </span>messages on the details of this accident and its treatment of the injuries. This issue ends with the public</span> report on October 6, claiming the punishment of 12<span style="color: black;"> officers</span> .After the accident, shmetro released 27 messages in total covering warning, notification, and apology. This crisis management proved to be successful, which successfully comfort the massive people’s emotion, fulfilling its duty in charge of public transportation.<span style="color: red;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Even though I have no access to official decision-making process, it is obvious that its strategies just follow the right track of crisis planning, including identification of cause of problem, demonstration of responsible action and consistent messaging. Theories have been successfully translated to practice in such international metropolis. When faced with crisis, which should be avoided in advance, what administrators are supposed to do is not complaint and regret but positive attitude and counter-measurement with the guidance of crisis communication, which can also contribute into individual affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Revisiting influence from social media has played an important role for organizations in this web 2.0 world. It is critical for any organization to collect data including traffic, views, and referring sources so as to conduct quantitative analysis for its strategies in marketing and communication. David Stout (2009) states that it is not always easy to measure the impact and value of social media. Yet powerful tools such as Tweetreach, Klout, and Google Analytics. They are able to produce tangible data such as exposure, engagement, influence, and action.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Exposure reveals how many people have accessed the information posted online; engagement measures how many people interact with the information; Influence indicates how social media has impact on the people—positive, negative or neutral; and Action, the most important indicator, shows the conversion of viewers to real consumers, which are the origin of profit.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">However, how to translate cold data to practical decisions and then profits requires specific knowledge in the field or even acute business intuition. Meanwhile, it shall be attractive to measure individuals’ personal social media such as twitter, facebook, and Myspace, and then figure out methods to transplant business information into the top trending accounts in an implicit way so that the advertising effect would be maximized at minimal cost. It also leaves space for the development of consultant companies which specialize in offering customized advice and interpretation service according to the data collected from social media metrics tools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 24pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">In conclusion, powerful social media metrics tools are of great use and value in the web 2.0 world, yet its interpretation and strategy-making require professional skills in specific field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Content Curation is the process of collecting information through the vast amounts of contents and organizes them around a certain theme.

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">First and foremost, you should define and explain what you curate about. This is especially important for the organizations because it can contribute to group your audiences who are interested in your themes thus to build a community.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 1.5; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Summarizing what you have found and making it organized. Since you have found much information through various means, it is important to classify. A piece of organized and high-value post will defiantly draw the attention from your audiences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 1.5; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">The word Pinterest is made up of “pin” and “interest”, which means users on Pinterest can upload or sort through the whole internet of images and put them into a context based on their “interests”, known as “pins” on this platforms. Pinterest is a personalized media platform, but everyone in this platform can see each other’s interests through the function of "Pin It" button.

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-align: left; text-indent: 28pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Companies use brands to market their products because good brands can make products look visible and memorable and stimulate consumptions. However, have you ever thought to be your own boss by<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>using brands to market yourself? Personal branding will give you a competitive advantage over the numerous masses that are looking for jobs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: .5; mso-pagination: widow-orphan; text-align: left; text-indent: 6pt;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">A personal brand, in a nutshell, is </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">the way you present yourself to the world. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 宋体; mso-font-kerning: 0pt;">So the most vital step to successfully branding yourself is to establish a personal identity. Who are you? What do you do? What is your focus on your future career? Once it is defined, you can </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">C</span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">ontrol what others feel about you and who are the key audiences interacting with you. Then you should make full use of the media channel, like twitter or blogs to develop you reputation. Writing articles, sharing professional information and knowledge, or submitting comments on others’ social platforms in your field is effective. This lets targeted audiences see your name frequently and become aware of the benefit and knowledge that you offer. It will absolutely enhance your influence and popularity, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">making you a pro in your industry; an expert in your field. Using professional networks that built around one’s employment capabilities, like creating a LinkedIn profile, will also promote your opportunities to be known to the public. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As for me, I only use blogs on Google Plus to position myself as a social media enthusiast. I post new articles related to how social media technology evolves and how it affects our lives each week. Moreover, I never post words about my personal life because I want my personal brand to look more professional. It takes time to build personal branding as a social media practitioner, nonetheless.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

By choosing to follow groups, recent uploads of the group will sometimes appear on a user's homepage when they log on. The relationship between users is not the traditional, for example, one can put the other person into “family” group without adding friends first.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Internet is considered to the most useful invention, it has changed our way of study, life and even social work. But some may say it is just fictitious world, not the real one. Actually, most of all may feel that social network really is one part of the real world, and that is also the reason why Facebook can be so popular that become the social kingdom in a flash.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 1.94; text-indent: 20.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the movie <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Social Network</i>, like most genius, Zuckeberg is very shy and not good at social. He is really kind of pinchers, he will even change five topics in one minute in conversation, and his girlfriend cannot stand up, and broke up with him. It is the stimulation as well as the inspiration of the Facebook.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 1.94; text-indent: 20.35pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">He invaded the school network database that night, and collected photos of all the beautiful girls, including his ex-girlfriend, and posted them on his website called Facemash, and students in Harvard even can give marks for the beautiful faces. Large number of clicks caused the collapse of the network, and Zuckeberg was punished by the school board. But he did not care about at all. He accepted the invitation from </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 8.5pt; line-height: 200%;">Winklevoss brothers </span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">to found the Harvard Network together, but after the success of Facebook, he was accused of plagiarism.But I think it still very difficult to put the definition of plagiarism, I think Zach really draws on the inspiration of the Harvard network, but he what made </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Cambria Math','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Cambria Math';"></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">the to the Facebook is far beyond the Winklevoss brothers imagination. Let alone</span><span lang="EN-US"> Winklevoss brothers did not found any website successfully, even like the Facemash. It is impossible to produce good outcomes, if you do not have great skills, and creativity will remain in its prototype, just like the Winklevoss brothers.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Zuckeberg become the king of the social network, and he also is the youngest billionaire, but he has lost his friends and schoolmates who have helped with the foundation of Facebook. And he is also caught into self-blame for hurting his ex-girlfriend. The success or failure of his life, is really a dilemma.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Are you still nervous about having no idea how to engage the relationships with your customers? Or you do not know how to increase your company’s branding popularity? Besides talking and listening to seek more customer insights in marketing, energizing is also a good approach.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Energizing customers means using the persuasive power of your enthusiastic customers for spreading brand benefits to other customers, whether potential or permanent ones. Energized customers are far more credible than any other media resources, like commercial broadcastings. Because most the commercial broadcastings use the exaggerate style to attract views’ attention, we will find the product are not as good as we expected, it is faked, so we do not want to believe in them. Conversely, if you hear the product from those who have used, it will be intriguing and more persuasive. And a research about “How much online North American consumers trust sources of information about products or services” show that 73% of the respondents get the recommendations from friends and family, 62% of them believe in consumer products and reviews.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of the basic techniques given is energizing with ratings and reviews. The story how eBags turned Jim from a guy annoyed with his broken luggage into an eBag fan is just a good example Under most circumstances, if the product is broken, the companies will only replace a new one, but in this case, eBags even contact him and consult better suggestion for improving the design and quality. It will leave a professional brand image on customers. And the deeper the impression you leaves, the greater possibility your customers will write down their ratings and reviews, which in turn will be a great promoter for your products’ development. </span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Most of us may have the experience of shopping online. Numerous choices are there for you to choose from, and the price may vary greatly, but most of us will not choose the cheapest one or the most expensive one. We prefer to refer to their ratings and reviews, whether positive and negative, and choose the one with the best appraisal. Also, some shopping websites even have the function of array from the suppliers according to their satisfactory index. In such way, your customers have been e<span lang="EN-US">nergizied to be spokesmen.</span></span></span></div>

However, Romney’s Twits has been shared and retweeted much more frequently, indicating that his fans are more active.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Audiences will be easily affected by their emotions when judging a the media, and here are two factors that may inflence their choices.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">I am deeply fond of the Priming Theory, which refers to the effect of some preceding stimulus on subsequent events. Because though media priming seems to have limited effects, it actually can have largely potential large effects. Take the 1992 Presidential Election for example. Nobody can imagine such an overwhelming famous president can be uncultivated because of the shifting media coverage fro international to domestic issues, which reflects political media does not influence what you think, but what information you use to make judgments. Another two models of priming, aggression priming and stereotyping priming are also introduced, and limitations are compared. But all these priming models have a problem in increasing accessibility, which can be a good direction for future research.</span></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">Emotion and Media Effects </span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 200%;">focuses on the emotion effect as the impetus for Media Selection, the outcome of Media Exposure and the Mechanism of Effect by using the methods of self-report and neurophysiological assessments. Emotion here classified into dimensional model and discrete model. They are different in whether emotion states are influenced individually or not. Zillmann’s MMT indicates that people may be aware of their reasons for media selection driven by hedonistic desires. What we see in media is similar to what happed in real life distinctly, so we will respond to media content as if it were true. Also both excitation transfer and desensitization will lead to the intensity of emotional response. Emotions can give rise to other three effects on message processing based on LC4MP, persuasion and aggressive behavior. As advanced development of technology, viewers can get better access to information online, and they also get more involved in social network, it will be meaningful to find out how media impact emotional lives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As the rapid development of social media, there is a common problem to those people who do not know how to get involved in social networking space, which called groundswell approach-avoidance syndrome. The POST method is a perfect strategy that can solve such problem.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This problem has several symptoms, for example, patients are addicted to running after the articles talk about their fellow sufferers at sites like Facebook; they are also very nervous about answering superiors’ and subordinates’ questions about strategy in the Web2.0, because of the pressure of chasing technology.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The POST strategy has been one of the most popular ideas we’ve ever created, even though it’s so simple. P stands for people. We should generate our own customer profiles about what they are ready for, considering their Social Techno graphics Profile, in case of profile mismatch. O stands for objectives. You should have a clear objective, what you want to accomplish. Do you want to persuade your current customers to evangelize others, or to share information and collaborate with your colleges? Are you aimed at some kind of best customers or the whole groups’ marketing? Set your goals first, and you can find which technology is suit for you most. S stands for strategy. Here Strategies means what will be different after your plan is finished. Have you ever imagined having a two-way relationship with your best customers? Do you want to get more people involved in enhancing the products? Last but not least, T is technology. The means or platforms, like bloggers and wikis, those you can use to gather your customers. It will be obvious which technologies to choose if you figure out who are the people you want to talk to, what is your target and strategy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; text-indent: 21pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There is no denying that many other problems may still arise when conducting this POST strategy, but as long as you use such approach flexibly, the groundswell approach-avoidance syndrome will be healed soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
