4 Rules for Networking in the Pandemic | Inc.com – Inc.

Networking these days is even more important than ever -- especially given that millions of people have lost their jobs because ofthe pandemic. Networking is also critical for business leaders who are seeking new ways to grow -- findingnew customers, partners, and talented people who can help them innovate or gain access to new markets.

To network effectively these days, you have to do all the right things that mattered before the pandemic without being in close physical proximity.

Here are fourrules for networking during the pandemic.

1. Use Your Connections to Get an Introduction.

Ask an intermediary who knows you and the person you are trying to meet to make the introduction. If that intermediary is trusted and knows both of you well, then the initial meeting will benefit both of you more.

Such introductions happen much more naturally when people are attending business conferences in person. Consider the case of medical student Maraya Camazine, who was looking forward to attending a conference with others in the field of trauma surgery this September.

As The Wall Street Journal reported, Camazine missed the fluidity of being introduced in person that she would have enjoyed before the pandemic. Instead, Camazine participated in a videoconference sponsored by the trauma surgery association that she described as a "stagnant chatroom."

There is no easy solution to this problem. Rather than participate in such virtual conferences, ask colleagues whether they can introduce you to people who might have attended such networking events in person.After the introduction, conduct a videoconference with them. While that meeting will lack the spontaneity of liaising in person at a conference, the health risk will be eliminated and you are still likely to achieve useful results for both of you.

2. Reconnect With People You Haven't Spoken to in Years.

If you have been in business long enough, you may have worked closely with many people in different jobs. You've kept in closer contact with some,and others you have not spoken with in years.

Reconnecting with such colleagues could be more helpful to each of you than another call with someone that you just spoke with a few months ago. After all, those whom you have not spoken with for a long time may have had new experiences that could be helpful to you as you face your current business challenges -- and vice versa.

3. Craft Your Message to Benefit the Recipient.

If you are just starting off as an entrepreneur and lack a well-developed network, you must master the fine art of the cold contact. These days, that won't happen by walking up to the person you want to meet as they are leaving the office for lunch.

Instead, you may contact them via LinkedIn or another social network. The key to doing this successfully is to craft your introductory message to them so that it clearly benefits them -- rather than asking them for a favor that helps you without benefiting them.

This seems like second nature to me. Yet I often receive invitations to connect on LinkedIn from people I don't know who see that I have invested in startups and think that it can't hurt to send me their standard pitch letter. Sadly, I have never received such an invitation from a sender who had invested the time to make a compelling case for why his cash emergency could be an opportunity for me.

Do not make this commonmistake -- instead take the time to research each person you want to meet and communicate how a networking event could benefit you and the recipient.

4. Follow Up Persistently -- but Don't Be aPest.

If you do not hear back from a person with whom you want to network, don't assume all is lost. You should follow up, but if you try many times in quick succession, you could quickly be thought of as an annoyance and permanently be ghosted.

There is a way to follow up without being a pest. For example, you could resend your introductory email and add links to some articles that might be of interest to the recipient or might help demonstrate the benefits of a partnership between you and the other person.

That kind of follow-up may not work all the time,but the additional time you spent thinking of how to help the recipientwill increase your chances of helping them realize that it would be worthwhile engaging in a networking conversation.

Social anxiety, depression, and dating app use: What is the link? – Medical News Today

A study finds that social anxiety and depression lead to a greater use of dating apps and affect what people hope to gain from them.

Pew Research Center data released in February this year indicate that, in the United States, as many as 30% of adults have used a dating site or app.

According to a Statista survey, in the first quarter of 2020, Tinder, the most popular of these apps, had more than 6 million subscribers.

There are numerous reasons for using a dating app. Now, a new study from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, looks specifically at the link between social anxiety, depression, and dating apps.

According to this research, there is a link between social anxiety and depression and a more extensive use of dating apps.

With increased symptoms of social anxiety and depression, women may be even more likely to turn to technology for social connection, especially if alternative forms of social contact are reduced due to social avoidance.

Senior author Martin Antony, from Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada

The study appears in Cyberpsychology, Behavior, and Social Networking.

Previous research suggests there are six things people who use Tinder hope to attain. These Tinder motives are:

The prevailing theory tested in the new research is the positive link between social anxiety and depression with a greater use of dating apps. In addition, the researchers predicted positive associations between social anxiety and depression and a desire for:

The study authors also predicted a negative association between social anxiety, depression, and contacting dating app matches equally for both genders.

A total of 374 individuals who use dating apps were recruited for the study and responded to questions posed through Amazons Mechanical Turk platform.

There were no inclusion or exclusion criteria, and each person received $1 for taking part in the study.

The researchers asked participants to fill out the 17-question Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), in which a person describes the anxiety they have experienced in social situations over the past week. Researchers recognize the SPIN survey for its usefulness as a psychometric measure.

In addition, individuals completed the equally well-regarded 21-question Depression Anxiety Stress Scales survey for measuring anxiety, depression symptoms, and stress.

Participants also completed the Tinder Motives Scale survey that tracked the importance of five of the six Tinder motives to the individual. The research team did not include trendiness because they considered the survey ineffective for measuring its significance.

The scientists measured individuals use of dating apps through the Online Dating Inventory questionnaire to assess their use and behavior.

The researchers found that social anxiety and depression are not interchangeable, and were variously linked, or not, with different motives for using dating apps.

The researchers general hypothesis was deemed correct: social anxiety and depression do appear to be associated with greater dating app use. Beyond that, the authors of the study drew a variety of conclusions.

They found that:

The researchers also discovered a negative correlation between social anxiety and depression in men and the likelihood that they would actually contact a person who turned out to be a match. The likelihood a woman would initiate contact was not affected at all by their level of depression.

The study authors point out that they cannot know whether social anxiety and depression lead to greater dating app use or the other way around, suggesting this open question would benefit from further research.

Trump will lose special Twitter protections in January – The Hindu

(Subscribe to our Today's Cache newsletter for a quick snapshot of top 5 tech stories. Click here to subscribe for free.)

U.S. President Donald Trump will be subject to the same Twitter Inc rules as any other user when President-elect Joe Biden takes office on Jan. 20, the social media company confirmed this week.

Twitter places public interest notices on some rule-breaking tweets from world leaders that would otherwise be removed. Such tweets from political candidates and elected or government officials are instead hidden by a warning and Twitter takes actions to restrict their reach.

But the company said this treatment does not apply to former office holders.

This policy framework applies to current world leaders and candidates for office, and not private citizens when they no longer hold these positions, a Twitter spokesman said in a statement.

It has added multiple warnings and labels to tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account, including many since last week's election that made unfounded allegations of voting fraud. It first hid one of his tweets behind a public interest label in May when the president violated the company's policy against glorifying violence.

Under Facebook Inc's policies, it appears that after Biden takes office in January, Trump's posts would also no longer be exempt from review by Facebook's third-party fact-checking partners.

Facebook's online policy says it defines politicians, whose posts are exempt from fact-checking, as candidates running for office, current office holders and many of their cabinet appointees, along with political parties and their leaders.

It says former candidates for office or former officials continue to be covered by our third-party fact-checking programme.

Facebook did not reply to Reuters questions about how it would treat Trump's account.

Biden's victory on Saturday in Pennsylvania put the Democratic presidential candidate over the threshold of 270 Electoral College votes needed to clinch the presidency. Republican Trump has not conceded and has vowed to challenge the outcome in court.

Facebook, Swamped With Misinformation, Extends Post-Election US Political Advertisement Ban – Gadgets 360

Facebook on Wednesday said its post-election ban on political advertisements would likely last another month, raising concerns from campaigns and groups eager to reach voters for key Georgia races in January that will decide control of the Senate.

The ban, one of Facebook's measures to combat misinformation and other abuses on its site, was supposed to last about a week but could be extended. Alphabet Inc's Googlealso appeared to be sticking with its post-election political advertisement ban.

"While multiple sources have projected a presidential winner, we still believe it's important to help prevent confusion or abuse on our platform," Facebook told advertisers in an email seen by Reuters. It said to expect the pause to last another month though there "may be an opportunity to resume these ads sooner."

Facebook later confirmed the extension in a blog post.

Baseless claims about the election reverberated around social media this week as President Donald Trump challenged the validity of the outcome, even as state officials reported no significant irregularities and legal experts cautioned he had little chance to overturn Democratic President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

In one Facebook group created on Sunday, which rapidly grew to nearly 4,00,000 members by Wednesday, members calling for a nationwide recount swapped unfounded accusations about alleged election fraud and state vote counts every few seconds.

"The reality is right now that we are not through the danger zone," said Vanita Gupta, chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights.

Google declined to answer questions about the length of its ad pause, although one advertiser said the company had floated the possibility of extending it through or after December. A Google spokeswoman previously said the company would lift its ban based on factors such as the time needed for votes to be counted and whether there was civil unrest.

The extensions mean the top two digital advertising behemoths, which together control more than half the market, are not accepting election ads ahead of two hotly contested US Senate runoff races in Georgia, including ads aimed at increasing voter turnout.

Democratic and Republican digital strategists railed against those decisions, saying the bans were overly broad and failed to combat a much bigger problem on the platforms: the organic spread of viral lies in unpaid posts.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, along with the Senate campaigns of Georgia Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, called for an exemption for the Georgia races so they could make voters aware of upcoming deadlines.

"It is driving us absolutely bonkers," said Mark Jablonowski, managing partner of DSPolitical, a digital firm that works with Democratic causes.

Eric Wilson, a Republican digital strategist, said he thought the companies' concerns about advertisements on the election outcome did not require a blanket ban. "This is something that deserves a scalpel and they're using a rusty ax," he said.

Facebook Director of Product Management Rob Leathern acknowledged the frustration in a series of tweets, but said the world's biggest social network lacked "the technical ability in the short term to enable political ads by state or by advertiser."

Viral lies

The companies declined to say when they would lift other "break-glass" election measures introduced for unpaid posts, like Facebook's demotions of content that its systems predict may be misinformation.

Facebook spokesman Andy Stone said those emergency measures would not be permanent, but that rollback was "not imminent."

Google's YouTube, which is labelling all election-related videos with information about the outcome, said it would stick with that approach "as long as it's necessary."

The video-sharing company bans "demonstrably false" claims about the election process, but has used the tool sparingly, saying hyperbolic statements about a political party "stealing" the election does not violate the policy.

However, Twitterhas stopped using its most restrictive election-related warning labels, which hid and limited engagement on violating tweets. Instead, the company is now using lighter-touch labels that "provide additional context," spokeswoman Katie Rosborough said.

Twitter placed a label reading "this claim about election fraud is disputed" on two of Trump's tweets Tuesday morning, but each was retweeted more than 80,000 times by that evening.

Nina Jankowicz, a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, said the ad pauses were needed but not sufficient for curbing the spread of viral lies.

"Clearly President Trump does not think the election is over, so I don't think the platforms should treat it as if it is," she said.
