Airtel needs more followers!

The title might misguide you, I agree. If you’re here to understand how to get more followers on twitter, I would say, you’re at the wrong place. If I knew the way I wanted to try that out, I would not have just 1500 followers, but a lot more!

We know there are several services which might help you with this, but why would a brand like Airtel need one? Airtel is supposed to be one of the best mobile operators in India. They have the highest number of GSM mobile subscribers amongst private players.

What more? Right after I retweeted this tweet ;

Airtel-on-twitter

They deleted it!

I hope they would realize and move on with their core job of a real time, online support system via twitter and not get into the mess of getting more followers!

Find a AirSpot Near You!

Today, I came across an interesting concept, that encompasses the power of shared internet. Now, what’s with that?

airspot_logo.pngPronto Networks, the company behind AirSpot has come up with this idea of building up a pool of users in a city who would want to share a part of their bandwidth (which they might not use otherwise, all day long), to their friends and neighborhood. What’s good? The users who take this initiative get a 50 % share of the revenue AirSpot makes!

Technically, the ProntoPoint router, that runs the AirSpot service, has a dual SSID – one personal and the other public. I am sure you got it by now!

All you need is a existing internet connection (broadband), and a AirSpot router to get started! The mantra is – social internet sharing across AirSpots, Make money by sharing your internet bandwidth, a revolutionary concept to try out!

Just as they say – Do more with your internet.

I am yet to try out their service and would love to do the same. You can also check out an interesting contest they’ve floated and who knows, you may win a AirSpot router to try out! Check them out on facebook and twitter, they do share some great tweets, across the week with various interesting hashtags!

I would love to see some feedbacks, if you get a chance to try the service. :)

Facebook Ads can pay you back!

We’ve been doing facebook all day, all night. I use it both for personal and business reasons. We @MediaRedefined also handle several fanpages for world’s popular brands. But have you ever saved a penny off a facebook ad?

I happened to save some 7.5 grands! Now, how did that happen?

While my daily usage of social networks is pretty high (mostly because of the nature of industry I work in), I happened to stumble on a facebook ad that led me to a pathetic website. However, that website was of a well versed Apple Premium Retailer who assured me some great discounts after we exchanged a few dialogues over phone.

I could eventually get a huge discount on my macbook which I was planing to buy, otherwise. What happened next is a history!

Have you ever benefitted from a social ad? Do share your story!

I’ve got a Mac!

It’s been a week since I got one and my schedules have really been hectic. Does that mean mac comes with a busier life?

Whatever, but I am in love with this machine. I have been having an iPhone 3GS for almost 6 months now and getting a mac has just added to the charm. Not that I was a steve/apple fan, but just that!

After getting hold of few basic apps like office, adium, evernote, dropbox, etc. I happened to install ecto, today. The proclaimed desktop blogging client for mac. It’s not even close to the more civilized WLW on a PC.

While I shall figure out alternatives or possible ways to run WLW here, I would still say, this is one of the best investments one would ever do. Thanks to the 10 hour battery life and the crisp graphics.

More, later.

Is Social Media a fad?

The answer comes in a great video named “Social Media Revolution – Refresh”, based on the book Socialnomics by Erik Qualman.

 

What do have to say to this?
