A Brief Overview Of What I Have Learned About Social Media Marketing In My New Media Drivers License Course At Michigan State University

A Brief Overview Of What I Have Learned About Social Media Marketing In My New Media Drivers License Course At Michigan State University

This article is for my class that has introduced me to many new facets of online social media; from Digg to StumbleUpon, LinkedIn, Reddit and of course, Facebook and Twitter. A great guide for finding out more about social media or reading the social media policies of companies can be found at http://123socialmedia.com/2009/01/23/social-media-policy-examples/ Another thorough introductory overview of media policy can be found at http://mashable.com/2009/06/02/social-media-policy-musts/

A real life example of how social media can be utilized is when a few weeks ago I was looking for a curling iron online and doing a lot of research i.e. reading a ton of user reviews. Before learning about social media marketing I never would have thought twice about my purchasing and research process but now that I have learned about the marketing opportunities presented by social media, it was all to clear that the brand I wound up purchasing, Hot Tools Professional, is ignoring a lot of possibilities and missing a lot of sales opportunities by not being more involved.

All of the reviews for Hot Tool Professional on Amazon and Folica are great, which is the main reason I wound up buying from their company, but in all the searches I performed, there wasn’t a single video result from the actual company which is a major lost opportunity. They could be utilizing websites like YouTube to promote their brand by having professional stylists demonstrate how to use their products or recommend certain products for specific hair types but in the hour or two that I spent on YouTube, although their products were used, I saw no videos put up by the company.

Considering that Hot Tools is widely considered to be one of the best brand of curling irons, not just by reviewers but by professional hair stylists as well, it is such a shame and a major lost opportunity that their website doesn’t even show up in the first 5 pages of Google results! Although they do have a twitter account, even that does not show up on the first 5 search result pages. I feel like the Hot Tools company could be doing a much better job of getting brand exposure and interacting with consumers and potential customers. Another example is their facebook page, they have 142 followers and just one post and nothing under their information section.

This experience is just one small example of how everyday purchases can be influenced by social media and the major opportunities they can present to a company who knows how to utilize them well.

Reverse License Plate Search – How to Search by License Plate Number

There are a lot of reasons where you could need to lookup a person with a license plate number. Maybe you saw an automotive accident or maybe there’s a suspicious truck that keeps parking in front of your home. The bottom line is there are many reasons you may need to perform a reverse license plate number search.

So how exactly do you accomplish this task? There are a handful of ways that you can conduct a reverse license plate number search online and off line. In the following paragraphs, we’ll discuss a few of your alternatives.

The first option (and the only free one) is to get a police officer to do a reverse license plate number search for you. Unless you know the policeman pretty well, your odds of getting him or her to do this for you are slim to none. It could be perceived as an abusive of power. On the other hand, if you know the office well, he or she may do you the favor.

The next choice is to hire a local private detective. Private detectives can use their access to public record data to locate the person with the license plate number. Charges for these lookups normally will cost you $75 to $300 or more.

If hiring a private eye isn’t in your budget, your next option is to become a member of an online investigative resource center. These memberships often give you access to the same databases used by private investigators. Pricing normally runs anywhere from $29 to $59 per annual membership. The upside to this choice is that you get unlimited access to the data sources. The down side is that you have to do the work on your own with no professional assistance

There are a good number of websites where you can get this type of access. Simply do a Google search for investigative membership or detective membership and you will have all the resources you need.

Microsoft Solution for Protecting Software From Piracy and License Non-compliance

Introduction

Piracy and license non-compliance are major challenges for software publishes. Microsoft estimates that these actions cost the software industry last year around $40 billion in lost revenues around the world. Piracy ranges from the relatively innocent copying of software for a friend, up to more sinister activities, where pirates hack software and distribute it on the Internet. License non-compliance is often a non-malicious feature of large organizations, in which more software seats are deployed than permitted – as stipulated in the contract with the software supplier.

Software Vulnerability Caused by Reverse Engineering

Software piracy is made possible partly because the .NET platform, though very powerful, does enable reverse engineering. This refers to the process of discovering how a particular application works, by analyzing its structure and function. Reverse engineering is made possible by the fact that .NET languages such as C# and VB.NET compile down to Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), the .NET equivalent of machine code. The problem with MSIL is that it is very well known, and carries a great deal of the structure of the high level languages, thus exposing valuable proprietary information.

Microsoft Software Licensing and Protection Services Solution

To combat software piracy through reverse engineering and license non-compliance, Microsoft has come up with a solution that revolves around the concept of permutation – rearranging a set of items. First, it is necessary to identify the crucial and vulnerable pieces of the MSIL, such as the core intellectual property algorithms, items enabling key functionality in the application, and code that includes passwords. Then, with the application of the Microsoft Software Licensing and Protection Services (SLPS) solution, these crucial items are transferred away from the easily reversed engineered MSIL, and into the secure virtual machine language (SVML), which is not easily reverse engineered. SVML is encrypted in a way that is unique to each client, and this also helps in monitoring and enforcing license compliance.

Products

The Microsoft SLPS solution consists of two closely related products: The first is the Microsoft Permutation Package. This is the .NET code protection technology that provides the code protector with a private transformation algorithm, and holds the vendor-specific digital signature for secure licensing. The second product is the code protector, which enables clients to apply the protection to the .NET assemblies. Code protector can be downloaded free of charge.
