Q.7
Minors and safety
We take safety issues very seriously, especially with
children, and we encourage parents to teach their children about safe internet
practices. To learn more, visit our Safety Center.
To protect minors, we may put special safeguards in place
(such as placing restrictions on the ability of adults to share and connect
with them), recognizing this may provide minors a more limited experience on
Facebook.
i think it would be a good idea because then minors will be censored and less prone to access unnecessary information and that others will not be able to access their information.
Q.6.
5 key trends predicted for 2012
5 key trends predicted for 2012
1.YouTube rises to top of mind
Most people might think that G+ will get the most attention in the
Google suite of services, but I think YouTube
will be top of mind. Why? With the latest redesign, YouTube is cleaning
up its Wild West image and coming into alignment to be a grown-up social
environment.
If your business is not there yet, make
haste and set up your channel and start reaping the benefits of the
second-largest search engine on the Internet.

Marketing All-In-One for Dummies, author ofSocial Media Marketing eLearning Kit
for Dummies and social media director foriPhone Life.
2.More social players will join in
I predict that the social media landscape will become more populated
with new and powerful players like Pinterest in
2011.
As social media continues to evolve there are opportunities for more
multimedia social platforms.
Don’t underestimate the potential for these new sites to start majorly influencing
social sharing and traffic—nearly overnight.

3.Marketers adopt smarter social
media tools
In 2012, social media tools are going to get a lot smarter. These tools are going help us make sense
of our social media connections and streams. They will help us maximize
our visibility and influence while minimizing our time commitment.
Bufferapp is a terrific example of this. Here is a
tool that can provide some intelligence as to when your followers and fans are
most likely going to be paying attention to your updates. As you direct content
from across the web into Buffer, the app will distribute it for you during
those optimal time periods. In a sense, it’s an intelligent and personal social
media distribution tool! Forget having to “schedule” tweets and updates. Who
has the time?
I strongly believe that the people who commit to learning the new and
most effective social intelligence tools as they are introduced will create a
significant competitive advantage. These
tools will make you more productive and grow your online influence while the
competition is still floundering around trying to figure out how to
be consistently visible and valuable to their target markets!
Find and focus on the tools that can make you more
productive and competitive in 2012!

4.Businesses integrate new content consumption practices
The way we read our news and social media streams is changing fast.
People are turning to platforms such as Flipboard, Storify, Ziteand others to
help curate information and sort through the
noise. Google, Facebook and Twitter are also making changes to help
users find the information they want to read and block the rest.
Businesses looking to place their content in front of their target
reader will need to adapt to these
changes and new media. This means 1) a continued effort to publish
content of the highest quality that readers will want to share, 2) an even
further increase in the importance of headlines and images and 3) creating a
following that will help drive your content to the top of these new platforms.
From a user’s perspective, I love the new Flipboard platform for iPhone.
From a publisher’s perspective however, it can be somewhat intimidating. That
said, I think these new platforms will greatly
reward content that makes its way to the top.
Jim Lodico, copywriter and marketing
consultant specializing in creating powerful content and teaching businesses
how to use blogs.
5.The “applification” of social media continues
I think we will see many more
social media apps come out in 2012 for social networking, news aggregation,
productivity, entertainment, communication and ebooks.
We’ll be accessing more on smaller screens than ever before and with a
few touches and swipes across our screens, we’ll be posting and sharing content
with people who are in close proximity to our geolocation, stretching on to all
corners of the world.
Debbie Hemley, social media consultant and
blogger.
