Mediaboss Marketing

Bohemia, NY (PRWEB) October 11, 2013

Internet marketing company fishbat responds to an article published by Examiner on October 4th, which states that social media can thwart the spread of a contagious disease.

According to the Examiner article titled Social media can prevent contagious disease, new research conducted by Chris Bauch, a professor at the University of Waterloo, and Alison Galvani of Yale University, finds that important subjects trending on social networks can predict social medias impact on mankinds ability to fight contagious disease.

The article explains, Social media like Twitter and Facebook are suggested as large scale resources for examining how people respond to a contagious disease event and as a resource for modeling preventative and protective measures for a general scenario and specific disease events.

The research, published in the October 3rd 2013 edition of the journal Science, found that social media could be a major asset in the event of a disease outbreak. Social media would allow people to talk about being sick, leading to an earlier recognition of an outbreak. In addition, social media would allow for a faster response time, spreading the word of preventative methods more rapids than traditional methods.

Justin Maas, vice president of client relations at Internet marketing company fishbat, says social media would undoubtedly prove to be an asset in the case of a major medical emergency. Maas says, One of the main reasons people use social media sites like Facebook and Twitter is because they enable contact with a large number of individuals. It is not hard to see how being able to reach a large number of people quickly would come in handy when dealing with an epidemic. Having such a huge network of people connected together through the Internet would give mankind an advantage in the fight against an outbreak.

Maas concludes, The capacity for social media to prevent tragedy is not just limited to a contagious disease. Large-scale natural disasters, for instance, are an example of devastating events in which social media could help limit damage.

Internet Marketing Company fishbat Agrees Social Media Could Help Prevent Contagious Disease Spread

Steve Jobs took a unique approach in everything he ever did. This uniqueness of his personality, his modus operandi, his products, and the entire Apple Inc. has a lot to teach us. In fact, it is not just the technology enthusiasts or Apple products fans who can learn from his life and strategies but the entire world can learn something by considering a few key tips from Steve Jobs himself.

Here are 5 important internet marketing lessons that any Internet marketer can learn from Steve Jobs.

Way back in 1997, just a few months after he rejoined Apple, Jobs commented that the main reason behind Apples inability to reach real success was the company and its creative team was too busy focusing on hundreds of things at the same time, which not only drains energy but also reduces the overall productivity of the company.

What Internet marketers have to learn from this is the importance of focusing on the most important marketing tactics. So, simply speculate what will work best for your business niche and give your 100% focus to it and simply say no to all the other (deceptively) useful looking strategies. Every company is different and not every technique will work for you.

Steve knew this simple secret and thus Apple always used more pictures and less words in its ads. Whether it was the ad material in the print media way back in the late 80s or the electronic media ad campaigns of today, Apple has always used less words and more pictures and videos. Why? Images have a more direct impact and require less effort from the viewer.

The key point to learn here is that your Internet marketing efforts work better when your strategies involve more Infographics, Video Marketing, and other strategies that are easier for viewers to ingest and are more viral in nature.

Jobs once said, Being the richest man in the cemetery doesnt matter to me. Going to bed at night saying weve done something wonderful, thats what matters to me. He always believed in being innovative and encouraged innovation among his team members.

Develop an innovative approach in your SEO strategies and Internet marketing ideas. Try out new techniques, do a lot of research and bring out your own signature marketing style. Create better and unique content, dont use hackneyed content and hackneyed ideas. Give up linking to spammy sites, search newer and better sites in your niche.Copying approaches may work for a while, but eventually they will fail. A new strategy can be your savior.

Jobs died young, he was merely 56. He always spoke to others about dying young and was in a real hurry to create new, innovative products. He was obsessed with doing things quickly and thats what he did. In quite a short time, he brought about a technological revolution far before other companies could even think of doing something similar. Focus on your marketing plans and work quickly to make lasting changes and become an industry leader, not a follower.

Iran official slams censorship policy By Golnaz Esfandiari

Iranian Culture Minister Ali Jannati has said that book censorship was too strict under the country's former government. In comments quoted by Iran's semi-official ILNA news agency on October 8, Jannati said censors would have rejected the Koran, which Muslims believe is a revelation by God.

"If the Koran hadn't been sent by God and we had handed it to book censors, they wouldn't have issued permission to publish it and would have argued that some of the words in it are against public virtue," he said.

Jannati said he had reviewed some of the titles that the administration of former Iranian president Mahmud Ahmadinejad

censored and concluded that in many cases, censors had objected to "irrelevant" issues.

He also said in many instances censors had based their decisions on personal opinions, and added that the reviewers lacked the necessary expertise.

Jannati has been culture minister since August after being chosen by Hassan Rouhani, the moderate cleric who was elected president in June and who has promised to give Iranians more freedoms.

But limits remain. Jannati hedged his comments by also saying that book censorship will continue in Iran because the government must act in accordance with rulings made by the Supreme National Security Council and the parliament.

"How can we allow some problematic books to poison the society?" he asked.

Jannati's comments about Iran's aggressive censorship of literary materials aren't likely to surprise the Iranian writers and publishers who have experienced firsthand the draconian rules enforced by Ahmadinejad's Culture Ministry.

FMT LETTER: From the Southeast Asian Press Alliance (SEAPA), via e-mail

The Sept 19 filing of charges against activist Lena Hendry for the screening of a documentary which was not approved by the Film Censorship Board has once again brought into focus the immense control of the state over freedom of expression.

Lena Hendry, along with Arul Prakkash and Anna Har, of the NGO Pusat Komas were invited for questioning immediately after the July 3, 2013 screening of the film No Fire Zone, the Killing Fields of Sri Lanka, a documentary about the final stages of the civil war in Sri Lanka in 2009.

It took authorities two-and-a-half months to file charges for violating the Film Censorship Act of 2002, but only against Lena Hendry.

The main issue here is that the government has opted to impose the old-fashioned law for the screening of a human rights-themed documentary, with a topic that is certainly of public interest: impunity of the state. Furthermore, the government has specifically targeted a person whose work is dedicated to promoting human rights.

Sri Lankas culpability for possible war crimes during final offensive against the Tamil separatist insurgency in 2009 has been the subject of much concern in the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).

It does not take a genius to guess that the Sri Lankan government is trying to prevent screenings of the film, and uses diplomatic pressure to prevent No Fire Zone in other countries. And in this case, they did.

With the filing of charges against Hendry, Malaysia will thus be seen as buckling under diplomatic pressure to file charges against its own citizen for showing a human rights film about another country.

Of course, the Home Ministry can always argue that it has to impose what the law says. And true enough, Pusat Komas has received warning letters from the Film Censorship board about their human rights film showings since 2009.

But their actions merely point to the absurdity of the Film Censorship Law: it is biased. Films produced or sponsored by the state are exempt from censorship.
