Poke, Tweet, friend ... profit
Facebook, MySpace and Twitter are online social networks that can keep you busy all day long. But they are for more than just killing time, playing online games and connecting with friends, fans and family. The networks are also emerging as a powerful yet low-cost promotional tool for companies, large and small.
If you run a small business or are just planning one, ignore them at your peril. Many of your competitors already jumped on the bandwagon, and are networking their way to enhanced credibility and new customers.
The old saying that “birds of a feather flock together” means that people with prior connections or similar interests interact. This aspect of social networking can help businesses to grow and thrive. Small businesses traditionally grew through word of mouth; the recommendations of satisfied customers. But 'word of mouth' is slower than the social networks' 'word of mouse'.
Artists, musicians and celebrities in Bangladesh first started to promote themselves with the Fan Pages of Facebook. But businesses can also use of such features. Just as a company website is a good and affordable business strategy, putting a company on social networks provides a way to advertise yourself and your business at a very low cost. It similarly tells prospective clients how your business operates and what services or products you offer.
If you have a small clothing or accessories line, these networks can let you reach out to potential buyers and rapidly communicate endorsements that are trusted by others. You can display your designs or and accept orders online -- or even expand your reach worldwide without leaving the country.
If you run a shop, you can use these networks to advertise or let people know about latest offers, discounts or new products that have arrived. If you provide any sort of service -- such as legal, health, maintenance or consulting -- the networks could reach customers who rarely consume other media, or at least the media where you can afford to advertise.
The networks are no longer a meeting place of the young. All ages and interests interact in complex webs. If at some point your target's browsing session comes to you, and he visits your business profile, your profile must interest him. If so, then congratulations; you just got yourself some business for free!
There are few rules about using social networks, but there is etiquette to observe as well as strategies you can employ. Experiment with multiple networks, but focus on one or two. Facebook is the leader, but it's a good idea to set up a personal profile there to promote your business, rather than a business account. With a business account on Facebook you can view all the pages and social ads, however, you cannot view the profiles of users, cannot be found via a search, and cannot send or even receive friend requests.
Fill out your profile as completely. This will help you start to establish your brand. Start with your contact information, including your personal website. Search using key terms such as Business Networking, Business Marketing, Intellectual Property and so on to look for people and businesses in your industry.
A list featuring People, Pages, Groups, Applications, Events, Web Results, Posts by Friends and Posts by Everyone found as a result of your search will appear. Search often, as new profiles are added every day. Click on the link for People and scroll through looking for potential leads and contacts. Send 'friend' invites to anyone whom you feel would be a good contact for your business.
Search for groups and fan pages relevant to your business, or whose fans you feel would benefit from your products and services. Click the link to become a fan and then introduce yourself to others in the group. Return often to the groups you join and post things that you feel will interest the group. Don't just 'poke' people; that's annoying.
Be nice, fun, witty, interesting and brief. Post tidbits that are amusing or relevant to your field regularly on your Profile Page, Groups, Fan Pages and Discussion Boards, to keep your group members coming back for more. Remember that when person connects with you, you might connect with everyone with whom they are connected, and thus grow your client base.

Jute genome decoded
Maqsudul Alam
Golden fibre to become healthy, high yielding, weather-tolerant; Hawaii-based Bangladeshi scientist leads team to landmark discovery
Bangladeshi researchers have successfully decoded the jute plant genome opening up a new vista in the development of variety of the world's most adorned biodegradable natural fibre.
Experts said this gene sequencing would help improve the fibre length and quality, including colours and strength; and develop high yielding, saline soil- and pest-tolerant jute varieties through genetic engineering.
With the successful sequencing of jute genome, Bangladesh becomes only the second country after Malaysia, among the developing nations, to achieve such a feat.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the announcement of Bangladesh's scientific achievement in the parliament yesterday amid cheers and desk thumping by lawmakers.
Researchers from Dhaka University, Bangladesh Jute Research Institute and Software Company DataSoft in collaboration with Centre for Chemical Biology, University of Science, Malaysia and University of Hawaii, USA have decoded the genome.
Bangladeshi scientist Maqsudul Alam, a professor of the University of Hawaii, who earlier decoded the genome of papaya in the US and rubber plant in Malaysia, led from the forefront in sequencing the jute genome.
Maqsudul told The Daily Star over telephone yesterday evening, "This is a great accomplishment not only for Bangladesh but for the whole world." He refused to comment any further saying there would be a formal address to the press today (Thursday).
Dubbing it a historic scientific advancement, Sheikh Hasina told the parliament this would redeem the lost glory of the "golden fibre" as gene mapping of jute would now help breeders develop jute varieties resistant to pests and climatic adversities.
She said genome sequencing would help redeem the lost glory of our jute and jute products, immensely contribute to our economy and help transform jute fibre into the golden fibre and bring smiles to millions of jute farmers.
Jute genome sequencing initiative began in February, 2008 when Maqsudul started exploring the possibilities with several Bangladeshi scientists and academics. The whole process was kicked off with many long conference calls between Maqsudul and plant molecular biologists, Prof Haseena Khan and Prof Zeba Seraj of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology of Dhaka University. Then the lead researcher had several meetings with Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury.
Genome sequence represents a valuable shortcut, helping scientists find genes much more easily and quickly. A genome sequence allows scientists identify and understand how genes work together for the plant's different features like growth, development and maintenance as an entire organism. This allows them to manipulate the genes and enhance, reduce or add certain features of the plant.
Contacted, Zeba Seraj of DU told The Daily Star, "As against three billion genetic letters in human genome, jute has one billion. And sequencing of jute genome will open up a new vista of possibilities."
Jute is the second largest fibre crop in terms of cultivation next to cotton. Bangladesh is the world's second-largest producer of jute, after India, and the world's largest exporter of the fibre.
