Social Media is everyone’s venting pad now and it is the accepted norm to vent anger on Social networks . People are finding innovative and even very amusing ways to do it .

I think it’s time for me to address the fact that I have 56,000 followers on Twitter but I have tweeted only 500 times. If I were an aging rock star or philandering basketball player, this might not be remarkable. But I’m basically a normal person.
So I’m going to give you four twitter tips that no one else will tell you.

How do you edit video? What is best program?

My advice on editing social media videos is to do this: don’t. That’s right; I’m suggesting that you don’t bother editing. Instead, recording “live to tape” (even though you aren’t using tape in all likelihood) is the better way to go.
While editing has gotten simpler, cheaper and faster over the years, the problem for most people is still that once you start it can be challenging how to figure out when to stop. What seems like a simple trim becomes the haircut that ends up turning into a shaved head. All of a sudden every “uh” and “um” turns into a project that must be removed.
Don’t Leave Out the Details – When Presenting

When telling stories about yourself to make an important point to your audience, it is imperative that you give enough details so that the audience makes the right conclusions about you. It’s fine to tell self-deprecating stories. It’s even Ok to talk about your mistakes and your blunders. But you don’t want to tell a story in such a way that you make the audience hate you or write you off as a flake or an unstable person.
One of my clients who was a city police official once told a story in the middle of a presentation about how the mayor of his city came into his office and made some requests. My client was so offended that the mayor would ask him to do things that he told the mayor, “Get out of my office and if you don’t leave right now, I’ll arrest you and throw you in jail.”
The best way not to be nervous is to speak at every opportunity you can – at every meeting, at the dinner table, a toast at a wedding.
