Film’s meant to be a cathartic experience so after leaving work yesterday evening I thought that after dinner I’d relax with a good film. Naturally as I’m a big fan of Francis Ford Coppola and with his past gems such as the Godfather I assumed I was in good hands… Now before you tune out I’m not on a rant or turning this page into Danielle’s film reviews don’t panic. The reason my dvd viewing last night has garnered enough of an impression to take centre stage on my blog today is the nature of the storyline.

Business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning are fundamental to the wellbeing of an organisation. Such plans are intended to ensure continuity in the face of unforeseen or difficult circumstances. In the IT world in particular, downtime and data losses are common given the global and uncontrollable nature of the web.

I’m forever going on about how great social media is for both promoting businesses and researching the market and I totally stand by this. However with so much variety out there it can be difficult to generate the volume of followers that supposedly scream popularity or worthiness (naive I know that filling your page with irrelevant followers that will never do business with you can actually boost your status but that appears to be the trend).

In order to achieve high volume traffic to your social media platform I have come across numerous different hints n tips to ‘reach 500 followers’ or ‘get more followers’, most of which involve paying to advertise your page or spamming other peoples pages until they know who you are… not the best first impression to make especially if your business is in spam filtering.

I’m not a big fan of these methods but I understand the necessity that’s placed on them by the pressure of appearing popular. However I have to say that personally the biggest hook I have come across to date was on PR guru Paul green’s twitter page… and I fell hook and line.
