Mean while in TDI Mall in Delhi

Shockingly the a TDI mall in New Delhi has given space to small Flea market stalls and the showcasing of TATA Manza car almost next to each other.

Is it even sensible to have Flea market stalls inside the mall just to cover up the space and make it look crowded?

I personally think it's pretty much degrading the entire atmosphere of begin in a mall, where both international standard brands and Flea stalls makes it look like a traditional market with just air conditioning as a difference.

Hopefully other malls will not take up the same stance to allow space to Flea market Stalls otherwise slowly but surely it would drive the already existing brands in the mall away.

This is a classic example of being penny wise and pound foolish.

Emotions spread like a virus

Ever wondered why people go crazy during big events like the world cup or small blessings like getting a free period .These events are used by us to express our emotions and literally go wild sometimes.But why everybody ?, why not just a few not everybody has the same level of attraction towards these events.The answer is pretty simple emotions when expressed in the most free and direct manner becomes the most contagious source that connects and spreads like wildfire .Its almost hypnotizing when entire groups of people during festivals sometimes even on surprise holidays are able to form a great bond for that particular time.When one person expresses their emotions strongly, you can feel how all the members of that environment are captivated within that emotional framework.When a heated argument between colleagues break out you can sense the rising level of tension the emotions that each person reflects through words is increased 2 fold by each response.Same is the case with emotions like happiness,pleasure,etc.

Each time we effect and are effected by the emotions behind the communications we make, therefore communicate only after clearing your mind off misleading emotions .

Otherwise you and people around you would probably keep experiencing what we call as 'mood swings'.

Make sure to understand the emotional effect of your communication before you communicate matters of critical importance.

Top 10 Most Influential Social Media News Sites

Thousands and thousands of social media news sites…..how to choose the best ones???? You really should start with the social media sites that are ranked the highest, these are the ones that will drive the most traffic to your site most quickly.

The highest-ranked social media sites will definitely work the hardest for you, with more networks, more people, and more options available to choose from.

Some reports claim that most of the Internet traffic these days is on social media sites. That statistic is not so hard to believe when sites such as YouTube claim about 12% on Internet traffic alone. The numbers are quite staggering…..

Depending on exactly what you're looking for, whether it's videos, content, images, blogs, articles, or whatever, the value of each of these sites will be a little different for you personally. But, according to Alexa, here are the top 10 best social media sites today:

1. YouTube.com: Share videos with the world! Count the number of views, and get followers and subscribers, who can comment on your videos and help you gain visibility.

2. Flickr.com: This site is the number one place to share photos and images of any type. Your submissions can be rated and commented on, making them more popular.

3. Digg.com: This is the place where anything goes, bookmark and comment on articles, blogs, or pretty much anything. More diggs means more exposure and more links for your site.

4. Metacafe.com: Another top site for sharing videos.

5. StumbleUpon.com: Find the best content for any topic here.

6. Technorati.com: No great blog is left unturned, find every one of them on this site.

7. Scribd.com: Any kind of article you can imagine is located on this site.

8. Blogcatalog.com: More of the best blogs. All topics, all types.

9. Del.icio.us: Everything imaginable, every type of social network that's out there is here. Network with the world, create your own network or just join other big ones and make your online contacts that way.

10. Propeller.com: Top Internet news place, find all current events and up-and-coming information.

While these sites might be considered to be the most popular right now, this is by far NOT an exhaustive list. As the top 10 social media sites is an ever-changing list taken from the hundreds of thousands of sites like these, all of these sites are not necessarily firmly planted in their spots and don't rest on their laurels at all.

Many, many social media sites are out there and fighting hard for these rankings. Every day, new features that affect user-friendliness, variety of topic/content, the ability to network, and many more factors affect the rankings and they are subject to change at any time.

With that said, these sites should be considered very solid and should be major mainstays to your plan if you think you're going anywhere in the social media world! Networking through these social media sites is likely to get you more traffic to your site by increasing your Internet visibility.
