One question I’m often asked by those who are starting to tweet is ‘What do I tweet about?’ So I have written 30 Tweeting Top Tips.

Even the most experienced tweeters get twitter block sometimes. Here are a few ideas to keep you going. Incidentally many of these suggestions make good blog ideas too. I did write a post on Blog Ideas earlier.

If you are new to Twitter and are only just finding out about Social Media and what it can do for your business, why not book onto one of our Social Networking Training in Brighton, Sussex.

1. Write helpful Tweets

At least half of your tweets should be an answer, a response, or some kind of communication or dialogue. Remember it’s about relationships.

2. Create a tweet when you upload a new blog post

Let everyone know what you are writing about, and make the tag line snappy. Next time you are wondering which links to click on in twitter ask yourself why you chose them, make a note then use the same technique.

From elections to reflections, let’s have a look at two of the newest major players In the live streaming world and how they’re faring against the competition. Meerkat and Periscope.

Following the NHL’s decision to ban all forms of live streaming from inside National Hockey League venues, many were lead to wonder what prompted such a decision. How is it possible that two apps released little over two months ago have risen to such notoriety in the eyes of an organisation as large as NHL?

Live streaming isn’t anything new, in fact "Severe Tire Damage" were the first perform live on the internet way back in June 1993. Since then the market has become loaded with hundreds of separate live streaming platforms; broadcasting everything from live football to birdcams.

Amazon’s acquisition of video game streaming platform Twitch in August 2014 for a reported $970 (£585m) drew the attention of investors and spectators alike. Twitter’s purchase of Periscope for $100million in late march only reinforced the serious potential of live streaming apps. Meerkat themselves brought in $12m from the likes of Greylock Partners in March 2015. We’re talking about serious money for and industry thats in its infancy.

It seems like social media is accused of ruining the world on an almost daily basis in news and blogs across the web, for a multiplicity of reasons: it's causing the breakdown of relationships, breeding a culture of narcissistic and parasitic youths and shrinking our attention spans to the point that we can barely even finish a senten...

Awful joke aside, this is a serious barrage of allegations to be levelled against what is arguably one of the biggest communication technology developments there has ever been.

And it's just plain wrong. Social media is not ruining your life, my life or the world.

In a lot of ways, it's doing the exact opposite - it's making everything a whole lot better.

Although our Social Media Training focusses on the potential business and marketing uses of social media, it can be used for a whole lot more.

So let's take a look at some of the most often quoted reasons that social media is Satan in technological form and try to debunk these myths.

Updated Updated Update: Instagram have removed the ability to delete your account. We're not sure if this temporary or not, or whether they are hoping that people trying to delete their account forget by the time the function is back up.

Updated Update: Instagram are nowreverting back to the original terms of service. So it was all a nice bit of PR over a quiet period then!

Update: Instagram haveposted a responsein which they say they 'are listening' and as such they will be rewording their terms of service. It will be interesting to see if this combats some of the fears that Instagram users have.

Yesterday saw the release ofInstagram's new terms of servicewhich, it's safe to say, have riled up a fair few people.

The objectionable section of the release refers to the effective ownership of your photos by Instagram (and therefore Facebook) which allows them the right to sell said photos on to third-party advertisers.

It has sparked a debate about onlineproprietorship and 'open-source' content and what the legal implications of such arrangements are, as well as spurring a mass boycotting of the service.

You can learn more about terms of service andproprietaryrights on our Social Media Courses.

So if you too are concerned about having your photos left to the mercy of

Instagram's ad team,

there's really only one option. Delete your account. Delete it now.

Wait! Stop!Before you do that have a long, hard think.

As happens when any service updates their terms everyone is

jumping up and down in anger but there are definitely some reasons to hang around:

1. It's most likely to just be legal speak. Instagram are unlikely to start running a ShutterStock service, it's just a way of opening up the service for future use (a bit like Google's recent privacy update).
2. If you've built up a strong presence/ following on Instagram you will lose that in it's entirety! It's almost impossible to migrate 100% of followers from one network to another.
3. If you weretrulyworried about privacy before then you never would have uploaded your images to the internet in the first place.
4. "If you're not paying for something, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold."

If you're still convinced deletion is the way to go then read on to find out how...
