Give Thanks this November with realsoulful.com

SCOTTSDALE, AZ (PRWEB) October 27, 2014

Social Networking Entrepreneur Tiffany Cooper is spreading the news about a new online social network that promotes positive social networking and allows users to improve their emotional and mental well-being.

For the month of November, Cooper is inviting users to begin a daily gratitude practice by logging onto the http://www.realsoulful.com site and listing at least one new thing each day that they are thankful for.

"The Holidays can be a hectic time where we lose sight of what is most important to us. By having a daily gratitude practice, we are able to reconnect with our true selves and stay grounded in the gifts we already have rather than focusing on what we perceive as missing in our lives. There are a multitude of studies on the benefits of having a daily gratitude practice on emotional well-being, healthier relationships and even better sleep. Staying rooted in appreciation opens our hearts and minds to the good that is already around us, and I cannot think of a better gift to share with others this holiday season."

Found at realsouful.com, the "Soulful Networking" site is designed to go beyond sharing everyday happenings (like on most social networking sites) to connecting people on a higher level in areas such as personal growth, gratitude, inspiration and supporting one anothers dreams in a purely positive space.

Cooper explains that many social media sites deal with our basic extrinsic needs, which revolve around status, image and success. While those needs are valid, the idea behind RealSoulful is to connect people at a more profound level to help meet intrinsic needs such as helping others, discovering purpose and creating a better life.

On realsoulful.com users create their own content. They can make a personal space, a MySanctuary page, and also post and make comments on a central forum called the SoulCentral Stream. In these ways its like other sites, but it is with a more soulful context and free of the negativity that exists on other sites.

Realsoulful.com is a free site open to anyone who is willing to abide by the sites Playground Rules which include checking your ego and judgments at the door; being kind and supportive, and saying something nice or nothing at all.

Facebook puts on its game face in Indonesia by pulling marketers close

Facebook means business in Indonesia. The Indonesian office of the social networking site is as much focused on working more closely with digital marketing practitioners in tapping industry potential as introducing new features that cater to the needs of local users.

"There is no issue on awareness given how large Facebook is," Facebook Indonesia country manager Anand Tilak said recently.

With a user base of 69 million, Indonesia is one of the largest markets for the California-based social networking site.

"However, people do not know how to use Facebook for their brand advertising," he continued. And this, Tilak pointed out, was the issue Facebook wished to resolve through its presence in Indonesia.

Facebook officially established a presence in Indonesia roughly six months ago, with the early team tasked with "building the foundation" for long-term operations in the country.

Tilak pointed out that part of the know-how the company would like to impart was on the ways to utilize the advertising and promotion tools available on Facebook.

"Our main focus is to educate clients and agencies on how to use Facebook to engage with users," he noted.

Digital advertising spending, albeit small compared to traditional media, is on the rise. Numbers from eMarketer suggest that digital ad spend in Indonesia will amount to US$420 million (S$535.21 million) in 2014, increasing by 71.4 per cent in 2015.

He said that Facebook had become a site where people discovered new content through their respective newsfeeds, which advertisers could capitalise on to create buzz around their brands. Nonetheless, those advertisements and promotions inserted into the site must not "irritate" users.

Like most online platforms, Facebook customizes the advertisements based on the perceived online interests and habits of the user.

NSA sees large network behind Bardhaman blast

On the eve of his visit to Bardhaman in West Bengal, where two suspected members of Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) were killed in the October 2 bomb blast, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval said there appeared to be a large network of the banned group that the investigators were working to unravel.

Mr. Doval told The Hindu that both Indian and Bangladeshi governments were working in close coordination in the fight against terrorism. Both the countries enjoy excellent bilateral relations and we have been working together, he said.

The NSA said the case had serious implications and required a comprehensive investigation. Special Secretary (Internal Security) Prakash Mishra and representatives of the Research and Analysis Wing, the Intelligence Bureau and the National Investigation Agency may accompany the NSA to West Bengal. NIA Director-General Sharad Kumar had earlier visited Bardhaman and Murshidabad on October 24.

NSA to visit Bardhaman site

National Security Adviser Ajit Doval is expected to visit the blast site in Bardhaman in West Bengal and meet Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday. He is also expected to meet officers of the Central agencies in Kolkata. This is the second time the NSA is coming to Kolkata since the Trinamool Congress came to power in 2011. While in 2011, the then NSA Shivshankar Menon came to discuss the issue of Teesta water-sharing with Bangladesh, Mr. Doval is coming to discuss the security situation following increased tensions after the blast in Bardhaman earlier this month and identification of 58 suspected terror modules in the border State. The NIA has said proscribed Bangladesh terror group JMB was responsible for the blasts. Terror modules in West Bengal were making explosive devices to be used in Bangladesh.
