OK, not exactly.. But according to AdAge you can make, “50 cents to $2.50 per minute of your attention while you fill out surveys, in the form of “gift cards, charitable donations and opportunities to view survey results as rewards.”
The online survey companies need to get beyond work at home mentality when targeting niche consumers on social networks. Pay us CASH. I made 175 dollars in an hour back in the late 90’s looking at monitors from different viewing angles. Good work if you can get it.

The LinkedIn WordPress app is super easy to install and has a nice feature to filter posts on your profile using tags.

The financial downturn is accelerating business interest in social media.
The global recession is turning out to be a global catalyst for accelerating changes in technology, marketing and advertising. Social media will be one of the beneficiaries of this change along with metered access to multi-tenant cloud environments like SaaS / PaaS / HaaS.
Word of mouth marketing (WOMM) works by leveraging blogs, online video, social networking, micro blogging and social bookmarking, aka social media. Social media happens to be dirt cheap when compared to traditional and mainstream advertising and PR campaigns.
Facebook is where the cool kids are today and by the looks of things that’s where many companies are also trying to maximize their ad dollars.
eMarketer today came out with the report, Retailers Get Social with Facebook
Facebook is the social media site of choice for many US online retailers, judging by an August 2008 study by Internet Retailer and Vovici. Nearly one-third of responding businesses said they had a Facebook page, compared with 27% that had a MySpace page and just over one-quarter that had a page on YouTube.
Here are 7 facebook applications for the enterprise.
- Worklight creates an intranet within facebook allowing members to publish and share news within groups.
- Faceforce is CRM for facebook.
- Convio brings online fundraising, email Marketing, advocacy, event fundraising to facebook.
- Buxfer allows for payment facilitation and money management within facebook.
- Alfresco Facebook Platform makes the Alfresco CMS all facebooky.
- Filefactory lets you share files at work on Facebook Fridays.
- Zoho Office enables office document management in facebook.
I’m curious to see what will happen with LinkedIn apps now. With 70% of businesses allowing social media in the enterprise, I believe we’ve reached a tipping point.

Anyone received a job offer initiated through facebook, LinkedIn or others? As we all know the best way to get a job or a client is by referral from a friend or associate within. Social networking is just another form of communication although it certainly helps keep you in the thoughts of others when an opportunity comes up. People looking for jobs still use job search sites but they also increasingly put the word out on their social nets that they are available - or that a friend of theirs is looking.
Social Networking is growing, but use of Job Search Engines, isn’t - and therefore, people are finding, more and more, jobs using their network of friends, and often, bypassing traditional job search engines, as they don’t offer the richness of experience that a social network comprising of friends, has.

The New York Times is serious about social media. They’ve just announced a tie in with LinkedIn to share stories within your network and get targeted news within your dashboard. The NYT also launched their own social network recently.
In a brilliant move that’s sure to make both newspapers and social networks around the web jealous, the New York Times and LinkedIn, the leading US social network for professionals, are announcing a content partnership tonight that could substantially increase the value for users of both sites. The announcement will be made at the top of the hour, but the integration is live now.
