Simplifying and Streamlining Social Media

The world of social media can be completely overwhelming. In addition to knowing and understanding the various networks and social media sites, you need to spend time managing your presence on each one. For most of us, managing social media is something that happens in our spare time - but there are several effective ways to organize and streamline how you interact with your online social world.

Know your purpose. Many people I work with feel compelled to use social media - if they're using it personally, it's because their friends are on it; if for business, because their competitors are on it. Most don't feel like they have a choice, and I'd argue that the choice isn't so much whether to use social media - for most of us, it's a foregone conclusion that if we aren't using it currently, we will be soon. Instead, the choice is more about which networks you should be on to best communicate with your people - whether they're your friends or clients. If you have an email list, you can use a tool like MailChimp SocialPro to determine which networks your people are on, and start spending time on those social networks. You don't need to be everywhere all at once. Be purposeful about which networks you're using, and then your overwhelm will go down considerably.

Set aside time. Social media can be giant time suck, so it's important that you compartmentalize it. Depending on what your goals are for using it, set aside specific times each day or each week to manage it. Even something as simple as fifteen minutes, once a day, can help keep you on top of your various social networks. One client of mine sets aside the first few minutes of each workday to post something relevant to her followers on her social networks, and a few minutes at the end of the day to respond to any comments. Managing your social media doesn't have to be an all-encompassing, all-day affair.

Centralize. If you're going to the individual websites for each and every one of your social networks, you're wasting a lot of time jumping from site to site. Whether you're using social media for business or just for personal use, getting all your social media centralized can help save you a lot of time and make it easier to manage the individual elements. Use a tool like Postling (http://bit.ly/cls-postling-10) , which creates a dashboard where you can see what's going on with all of your social networks from one spot, as well as letting you post, and cross-post, easily from a single login. You do have to enter your login information for each of your social networks, but once that's done, you'll find yourself going to each individual social network's site far less frequently.

New Search Index Of Google

Recently Google has announced a new search index that is called Caffeine. Caffeine provides 50% fresh results than previous index term. It has a largest collection of web content. The information that is offered by Caffeine, It may be a news story, Blog or any article and forums.

In Caffeine now you will find the more relevant links much sooner after it is published on web. It doesn?t matter that when or where it is posted. If you want to know about search process of Google then you should go to this section ?How Google Works?.

Caffeine lets us index web pages on a vast range. Caffeine processes hundreds of thousands of pages in parallel every second. If this were a pile of paper it would grow three miles taller every second. Caffeine takes up nearly 100 million gigabytes of storage in one database and adds new information at a rate of hundreds of thousands of gigabytes every day. To Measure Caffeine storage capacity you would need about 625,000 of the largest iPods, if these were pile end-to-end they would go for more than 40 miles.

Actually old index has various layers, some of which were refreshed faster than others. The main layer was updated every couple of week. To provide you more fresh results we have to analyze the web and this process takes a significant delay between find out relevant page and provides you new results.

With caffeine, Google analyze all web pages regular basis, globally. Caffeine is not only fresher, it's a robust foundation that makes it possible for Google to build an even faster and comprehensive search engine that scales with the growth of information online, and delivers even more relevant search results to its users.
