How To Be A Successful Web 2.0 Puppetmaster

One of the key characteristics of Web 2.0 is participation, collaboration and moderation through the use of web applications. Web 2.0 sites derive their power from the human connections and network effects from this characteristic that is made possible, and grow in effectiveness the more people use them.

The idea of "participation, collaboration and moderation" can take many forms. If you look back history, bulletin boards are one form, online forums are another, online multiplayer games, content management systems (e.g. Wikis, Joomla), dating sites and classifieds as well. If not for features that enable multiple users to create their own space within a website via registering accounts or at least leave a message (like a comment in a blog), the communication culture would have been one-way (from the webmaster to the visitors) and remain stuck in 1.0.

Why would a webmaster want to go Web 2.0? We learned that social networkers want to expand their personal network of online friends. On the other hand, the webmaster desires to build up a core group of active participants who unconsciously help to sustain the 'liveliness' and therefore the longevity of the website and its agenda or interests while the overall database of users expand. In this manner, a lot of the effort that goes into building the database (or list) becomes very much hands-off for the webmaster. There's leverage. This is also where moderation comes in. The role of the webmaster naturally becomes that of the moderator, whose job is to maintain some semblance of order (but not to the point of creating a restrictive environment) and general site maintenance. It gets better when the webmaster can promote participants into moderators themselves, and more and more s/he becomes the "silent puppetmaster" behind the scene without doing much. It may not be easy, but the whole mindset of being a moderator is to gain confidence in just "letting it be" and letting his/her site runs by itself.

Now that the webmaster's motivation is addressed, s/he must find ways to avoid competition by finding new twists to contribute to the Web 2.0 bandwagon. Much as new sites keep popping up in recent months, somehow no 2 sites are made the same and they certainly enjoy a good amount of traffic anyway. It would be better when you can boil down social networking to the context of a specific niche, like a site to exchange Mexican recipes or talk about Ferrari car accessories or business opportunities in Central Asia. You can better target the type of people you are looking for and it also gives them a sharper sense of purpose to engage with and within your site.

At the end of the day, social networking is all about sharing valuable content and making friends. The successful Web 2.0 webmaster is one who knows how to tap on this human desire to the fullest and consistently encourages such a desire to grow within the culture of the social network he has created by offering further privileges for more prominent members. Really, there's no better way for them to build up credibility and make their personalities known than to be consistently 'alive' and 'happening' on the Net. From the SEO standpoint of view, you can also accumulate more backlinks and subsequently more traffic to your social networking site.

How to be Successful in Dating Asian Women – the Art of Taming Asian Tigers

 

Dating Asian woman has always been mens fantasy, but it has never been easier than today. Thanks to internet and global communication dating Asian girls is as easy as clicking a mouse.

There are several things you have to remember before you start dating Asian women and one of them is that most Asian girls that you are going to meet come from a different culture.

There are differences between Filipino culture, Thai, Japanese, Chinese or other but they have a lot in common. Most of these cultures are based on values like honour, respect, generosity etc. I have several hints for you on how to survive the first date and earn enough brownie points to secure next rendez vous.

Be at your best behaviour at your first date. Don’t try too hard to be yourself. If you have habits like picking your nose, smoking, drinking too much, burping then the first date is probably not the best time for these things to show.

Be a gentleman. This is the simple receipt and answer to the often asked question – what is that Asian girls really look for in man? Impress your lady by holding the door open for her, letting her in your car, helping her with coat etc. It does not take much effort and guarantees good first impression.

Keep your first date simple. You don’t have to go over your head to plan the first date. That will let you concentrate more on the girl less on making your plan work. Besides you don’t even know yet what the girl likes or even if you going to like her.

Show up on time. Being late almost always turns the woman off. If you know that it’s a bad traffic leave earlier, if you get stuck make sure to call her. Don’t let her wait.

Best place to meet her? Well, it’s definitely you who have to decide. Don’t ever leave this decision to your lady. Asian women are looking for a self confident (not cocky) man who gives them the sense of security and the man that can find himself in any situation. Pick a place were you feel comfortable. If you know much about wine and fine food take her to the good restaurant, if you have great body go to the beach. Simple ideas like that should do the trick. One thing to keep in mind - her being comfortable is more important than you. Give her the sense of security that she is looking for. Chances are she won’t feel safe and relaxed with a guy that she just met where there are no other people around. Don’t take her for a drive to the desert in your black Jaguar or lonely walk in the park at dusk. Leave those romantic spots for later.

At your first date don’t look around for other women. Make your girl feel special. First date is all about gathering points for all the things you do right and loosing those points for small mistakes. You have to learn to play the game and the prize will come.

Do not ever talk down about her culture. Show that you respect her and her heritage. If you notice that she is not too much into discussing her origin just drop the topic. Remember that she is a unique individual and not a whole nation that you talk to. Once again – treat her like someone really special; treat her like a lady that she is and you’ll be fine.

Lastly, showing affection in public is usually a taboo in Asian culture, so my advice would be to refrain from that on a first date. Try to read her body language, don’t force anything. Good-bye kiss is usually fine. Remember, you have to be patient with Asian ladies. If this girl likes you it will pay off, otherwise there is danger you will become ‘first date’ professional and we don’t want that. Stick to these few simple rules, get to know the girl and you’ll be successful in dating Asian women.
