Artemis Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: ARTT) Announced Today That It Has Entered Into a Definitive Agreement to …

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Sep 16, 2013) - Artemis Energy Holdings, Inc. (OTC PINK: ARTT) announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire LinkMyFan.com. LinkMyFan.com is an online social networking platform that allows members to post an array of content on the Link My Fan open platform to increase the reach of the content posted throughout the world. The Link My Fan platform can be viewed by non members. People are not required to have an account on Link My Fan to view other members' content. Content can include pictures, news releases, blogs, events, videos, status updates and audio files. Audio files can range from music from artists to a CEO conference call. The agreement would bring LinkMyFan.com into Artemis Energy Holding, Inc.'s portfolio of websites that currently include Link My Stock and TransWorldNews. Artemis Energy recently announced a definitive agreement to acquire WooEB.com.

The addition of LinkMyFan will provide diversity within the Artemis Energy portfolio to go after a wide demographic of members that want to share content to reach a wider audience in an open platform versus a sign in site while also providing a social networking environment.

Link My Fan on July 18th, 2013 updated their status update that now includes the ability to post in one post multiple +elements. A +element is content that can be included in one status update post. Currently members posting to Link My Fan can include a picture gallery, a video, a link to a website, a news release, an audio file and up to 1000 characters describing the post. The benefits of doing a post with more than one +element is the engagement of people who see the post tend to share it more than a post with one element. With Link My Fan being an open platform, anyone who can see a status update on Link My Fan can share it to Twitter, Google+, Facebook, Pinterest, Linkedin and a multitude of bookmarking sites causing the status update to reach more people.

Link My Fan is focusing on developing tools that will benefit businesses, the film industry, the music industry, sports teams from Jr. High School to the Professional level to be able to reach their customers and fan base regardless of whether they are a member or not. Link My Fan also wants the individual that is looking for a different experience when sharing content. Sharing content is very important and a very big part of Social Networking -- to be able to put an array of content inside of your Link My Fan page makes it much easier for an individual to have one central account, i.e. Link My Fan to post things into and from there share it to Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin and other accounts. The reason behind this is the experience of the person looking at the content no longer has to go to multiple sites and create multiple accounts to see a video on one site, pictures on another, an event on yet a different site and so on.

The agreement calls for the acquisition of the assets of Link My Fan, Inc., WooEB, Inc., which is http://www.linkmyfan.com, and its technology, along with its members.

Tom Powers of Artemis Energy Holdings stated, "Link My Fan has been doing amazing over the past 8 weeks -- the traffic rank on Alexa has broken into the Top 13,000 in the United States with the first launch of the new status update platform. With the recent addition of Refer Me and the upcoming features Link My Fan will be rolling out we are very encouraged that traffic will continue to increase and through that we will increase revenue through advertising and some unique options we are looking into developing. We also are very optimistic that when we improve our Mobile design more people will be utilizing Link My Fan when they are on the go. We are really looking forward to bringing Link My Fan into Artemis Energy Holdings and leveraging some of the technology developed with our other sites."

Tom Janes stated, "In considering acquiring Link My Fan one of the factors we could not ignore is the potential this acquisition could have for our shareholders. When reviewing other sites like Facebook, Linkedin, Groupon and Tumblr we were astonished at the support these companies have received when it comes to valuation. Taking that into account we think that by adding Link My Fan and creating revenue streams through it we are optimistic that this could improve the overall market cap of Artemis Energy Holdings, Inc. for our shareholders."

If you are ready to commit "virtual identity suicide," delete your Facebook account, and say good-bye to social networking sites, you are not alone. A social networking counter movement is emerging, and Facebook quitters, who remove their accounts, differ from Facebook users in several key ways, as described in an article in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.

Stefan Stieger, PhD and coauthors, University of Vienna, Austria, compared more than 300 Facebook quitters to about an equal number of Facebook users. They recorded their responses to assessment measures focused on their level of concern over privacy, their tendency toward Internet addiction, and personality traits such as extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism.

The authors report several significant differences that distinguish those who have decided to delete their Facebook accounts. The results are presented in the article, "Who Commits Virtual Identity Suicide? Differences in Privacy Concerns, Internet Addiction, and Personality Between Facebook Users and Quitters." This article is part of a special issue of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking entitled "Social Media as a Research Environment," led by Guest Editors Michael Walton Macy, PhD and Scott Golder, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY.

"Given high profile stories such as WikiLeaks and the recent NSA surveillance reports, individual citizens are becoming increasingly more wary of cyber-related privacy concerns," says Brenda K. Wiederhold, PhD, MBA, BCIA, Editor-in-Chief of Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking, from the Interactive Media Institute, San Diego, CA. "With photo tags, profiling, and internet dependency issues, research such as Professor Stieger's is very timely."

Who's actually writing your favorite celebrity's tweets?

Now in his mid-70s, actor George Takei has found new fame as a beloved social media maven boasting millions of followers across his various social networking accounts. Thats some heavy digital mojo for an actor best known for a supporting role on a short-lived 1960s TV seriesand occasional guest appearances on The Howard Stern Show. Theres a very good reason for his newfound digital popularity, though: Takeis meme-orific posts are absolutely delightful!

But many of Takeis virtual admirers might be disappointed to know that Mr. Sulu is not solely responsible for all that delightfulness. A few months back, the world learned that some of the humorous quips posted under his name were actually written by a ghostwriter being paidten bucks per Facebook post.

As it turns out, Takeis use of outside help for his social media work isnt unique among celebrities. If youve ever wondered how Sarah Palin managed to translate her complicated relationship with the English language into coherent long-form Facebook posts, or how the mayor of Americas largest city finds time to post several times a day, the answer probably points to a professional social media ghostwriter.In fact, public figures ranging from Britney Spears to Kanye West to Barack Obama have admitted to using paid professional help to maintain their social media profiles.

At this point of having worked in this industry for a few years, I just assume that everyone has a ghostwriter, said Oriana Leckert, the director of operations atGotham Ghostwriters, a NYC-based firm that pairs professional ghostwriters with clients ranging from corporate to professional to celebrity. Whenever someone sounds drastically more coherent in a tweet then they do in person, they probably had some help.

Gotham matches writers for long-term arrangements where the writer is contractually obligated to produce a specific number of blogs, posts, or tweets per day. Her firm chooses from a vast stable of writers to find ones who understand the culture and voice of the particular client. For example, a writer with a hip-hop background probably wouldnt be retained to tweet for a pharmaceutical exec (although that might have a fresh sound).

Ghostposting deals are nearly always involve writing for multiple social platforms. When a celebrity or the celebs people hire a ghostposter, they are looking for someone to mimic and project their clients voice across the digital spectrum. This was the agreement Anna (whose name weve changed to protect her identity), a Brooklyn-based writer who spent 18 months ghostwriting for a pretty ubiquitous B-list star, found herself in.

I wrote all the personal blog posts, tweets, and Facebook updates in her voice,Anna explained via email.Occasionally I even handled written interviews as well.

I was given a monthly edit calendar of topics that was created by the celebritys team based on the needs of various sites she was partnering with, she writes. When not promoting one of the celebritys projects, I covered pretty standard ladymag topicsfashion, beauty, and relationships.

Anna says she shared tweeting responsibilities with a publicity team and the celebrity herself. Anna was not allowed to publish a post or tweet herselfshe emailed all content to the celebs team, which then approved and posted various items.

The amount of interaction between celebrity and ghostposter varies. Anna for her part says she received very little guidance: Sometimes I would find useful information by Googling old interviews, but for the most part it was total guesswork.

Twitter IPO marks end, beginning in social media era

Is Twitter's stock offering the end of the social media era, or just the beginning?

While Twitter appears to have carved out its niche in the social Internet, a big question now is how much growth and innovation remains in the space.

Charlene Li at Altimeter Group sees a "last call" mentality around Twitter's initial public offering (IPO).

"Twitter is the last of the Big Four to go public," she said on her blog.

"In the social networking ecosystem, Twitter is seen as a must have in terms of a social strategy, and is the only major player left that is still up for grabs -- YouTube (owned by Google), LinkedIn (IPO), and Facebook (IPO) are all spoken for. Other upstarts like Pinterest are just getting started so Twitter is going to be the talk of the town into 2014."

Trip Chowdhry at Global Equities Research said Twitter may be the final social media IPO.

"The Twitter IPO symbolizes this industry is coming to an end, and future investments will be in some industry we don't know," he told AFP.

But others who watch social media say Twitter and others have just scratched the surface of the sector's potential.

"We're far from the end in innovation," said Daniel Odio, an executive at the California-based Internet firm Share This, who has been involved in a number of technology startups.

"I believe we are in the Dark Ages of social, there is so much opportunity," he added.
