MSN MSN (stylized in all lowercase) is a web portal and related collection of Internet services and apps for Windows and mobile devices, provided by Microsoft and launched on August 24, 1995, the same release date as Windows 95.[3] The Microsoft Network was initially a subscription-based dial-up online service that later became an Internet service provider named MSN Dial-up. At the same time, the company launched a new web portal named Microsoft Internet Start and set it as the first default home page of Internet Explorer, its web browser. The current website and suite of apps offered by MSN was first introduced by Microsoft in 2014 as part of a complete redesign and relaunch.[5] MSN is based in the United States and offers international versions of its portal for dozens of countries around the world.[6] Website[edit] Microsoft Internet Start[edit] MSN.com on its initial launch day, August 24, 1995.

With the Arrival of Twitter’s 'Buy' Button, Is It Time to Move Into Social Commerce? Following pressure on social platforms to demonstrate their validity as powerful sales channels, Twitter recently started testing its "Buy" button. The button, which is embedded in tweets, lets users make purchases directly on Twitter and through its mobile app. Rather than users being redirected to a retail site, Twitter’s “Buy” button provides the ultimate one-stop social-media shop. Twitter now joins other companies like Facebook that are trying to prove that a return on investment can be achieved through social commerce. Related: Facebook's 'Buy' Button Will Change How Brands Sell Online Social media has widely been known as a tool for building brand awareness and as a display-marketing vehicle rather than a social commerce platform, but companies like Facebook and Twitter are trying to change that perception. With the “Buy” buttons, Facebook and Twitter are elevating the focus on ROI by targeting the most important metric: the number of people who purchase the products. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Facebook launches On February 4, 2004, a Harvard sophomore named Mark Zuckerberg launches The Facebook, a social media website he had built in order to connect Harvard students with one another. By the next day, over a thousand people had registered, and that was only the beginning. Now known simply as Facebook, the site quickly ballooned into one of the most significant social media companies in history. Today, Facebook is one of the most valuable companies in the world, with over 2 billion monthly active users. The origins of Facebook have been highly scrutinized (including in the critically acclaimed 2010 film The Social Network), but the exact source of the idea remains unclear. Over the course of his sophomore year, Zuckerberg built what would become Facebook. From there, Facebook spread across the world, becoming not only an incredibly valuable company but also one of the most important institutions of the early 21st Century.
How Twitter and Crowdsourcing Are Reshaping Recruiting - The Con by Jeanne C Meister and Karie Willyerd | 1:12 PM September 25, 2009 Why don’t more companies use Twitter to hire the right job candidates? We also know that there can be an opportunity cost in not tweeting: last month, Jeanne was at the Legg Mason tennis finals watching Andy Roddick lose in 122-degree heat. After the four-hour match, she wrote a tweet about it — and before she’d even left the stadium, several followers sent replies asking why she hadn’t met up with them to watch the match together. So think of the untapped potential opportunities for companies looking to source and attract talent. What happened next is an indication of the future direction of recruiting: in listening to these conversations, Best Buy decided that the community had other ideas — and good ones — for how this job description should look, and what the qualifications should be. Has your company used Twitter to find talent or crowdsource job descriptions?

On Tweeting, Facebooking and So Forth | Webupon - Flock O.K. I admit it. I was wrong. I thought social networking was a fad, a passing fancy because people were too busy to spend their days communicating with one another, even in 140 characters. Now, I have big egg on my face, of course, because it is the biggest thing going. There was a time, not too long ago, when middle aged men did not exchange written words with anyone. And a lot haven’t learned yet that anything you put in a cell phone, on a web site, an internet gathering place can be accessed by someone and as Tiger Woods is learning, prove devastating when someone digs it up and pushes it for what is now the whole world to see. Tiger didn’t do anything millions of other men (and quite a few women) aren’t doing or wishing they could do. Getting used to this new integrated society is tough for many of us. I think it is too late now, for things to change. I know this is unbelievable behavior in our society. Intentionally I drive a car that doesn’t have one.
