Ways to get people to follow you on Twitter
Friedel Coetsee

Posted by Friedel Coetsee On May - 20 - 2010
The more people who follow you on Twitter, the more influence and networking opportunities you have. Thus, it makes sense to try and build a following. Here are some best practices on getting others to follow you:
1. Follow them: There’s an almost automatic reaction to follow people who follow you. However, there’s a backlash against people who follow just about everyone for the sole purpose of gaining followers. In short, be discriminating with whom you follow.
2. Post some good tweets right before following someone else: Help people to decide to follow you by posting some good, informative tweets. This will help them to see you provide valuable information through your Tweets and tweet regularly.
3. Complete your bio: People rarely follow strangers, so complete your one-line bio and include your IC Site URL in the More Info URL section of your profile. People want to know who they will be following before they actually follow them so providing them this information upfront will help.
4. Add your Twitter feed to your blog or to other social media profiles: If you have a following at your blog or a lot of connections at Facebook or LinkedIn, you can leverage this audience to increase your followers at Twitter.
5. Reply to people you are following, especially if they’re not yet following you: That’s a good way to engage someone and get them to follow you, even if they didn’t follow you immediately. Remember, though, some people have thousands of followers, and may not be able to respond to every reply.

You will improve your influence by getting more people to follow you on Twitter. With minor effort, you can be successful at growing your following. Here are some tips: Read more...

Anton Wilson

Posted by Anton Wilson On January - 22 - 2010

Computer viruses are basically created when a programmer creates computer code.  More specifically computer code which has the capability to replicate itself, hide, watch for a specific event to take place, and then deliver a destructive payload on a disk or in a computer program.  Viruses are able to attach themselves to basically any type of file; it subsequently spreads as infected files and is then used by other computers.  The effects of computer viruses vary, seeing as some viruses are extremely devastating, while others are relatively harmless.  Computer viruses are able to cause the loss of data, as well as destroy program applications, software, and files.          Read more...

Highest number of Internet Users in SA, EVER!
Friedel Coetsee

Posted by Friedel Coetsee On January - 20 - 2010

South Africa has passed the mark of 5-million Internet Users for the first time! This means that more that than 10% of the country’s population is surfing the net which is great for internet marketing. This is the highest it has ever been.
World Wide Worx recently conducted a study named ‘Internet Access in South Africa 2010’, which found that the Internet User base grew with 15% in 2009, from 4,6 million in 2008 to 5,3 million last year. “The good news is that we will continue to see strong growth in 2010, and we should reach the 6-million mark by the end of the year,” says Arthur Goldstuck, MD of World Wide Worx.
“A sustained growth in Internet penetration is a key factor that will positively influence the economy of South Africa”, says Reshaad Sha, senior manager for Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group. “The varied range of application services and social networking platforms used by local consumers has fuelled the uptake that we see today.”
However, the growth rate has not always been this steep. From 2002 tot 2007, the percentage of Internet Users never rose above 7%. It was only from 2008, when the rate almost doubled that the numbers started accelerating. Read more...
