Adding NEW meanings: mixing FUN & business with popular media: My recent top 20 items ACCEPPTED in Superfan

New social media is stretching the scope and blending the borders of business and pleasure!

You can be fan of anything at superfan accepted by the assessment committee using an objective criteria. If your favourite items are not there, you can create your objects and first you become the superfan of that object then invite others to be fan of it. It is also possible in some cases others may steal your superfan and then the whole fun starts. The objects gain value and visibility. For example, Ecademy, Yasni, Hereke Silk Carpets, Megan Fox and IBM are a few famous ones that reached to very high scores in very short time. It is up to the fans to promote their items.

I introduced the following items to the Superfan recently which they were not available in there and they were accepted successfully:

1. Nasreddin - A historical humorous character


2. Manuka Honey - strong antibacterial honey from New Zealand


3. Oil Wrestling - Traditional Turkish Sport


4. Semiotics - the study of how meaning is constructed and understood.


5. Cloud Computing


6. The University of Melbourne


7. Orhan Pamuk - Turkish Nobel laureate in Literature


8. Kevin Rudd - current Prime Minister of Australia


9. Seymour Papert - one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, as well as an inventor of the Logo programming language.


10. Hyacinth


11. Mindfulness


12. IBM AIX - Server Operating System


13. IBM System z10


14. Hookahs - Nargile (this is only for cultural awareness purpose, I am non-smoker but can connect to smokers:-))


15. Know Me, Like Me, Follow Me - Penny Power's recent book. (just introduced yesterday)


16. Karagoz and Hacivat


17. Mayapple - plant native to the eastern part of North America.


18. Meet the Robinsons - my son's favourite show


19. Sertab Erener - 2003 Eurovision winner represented Turkey


20. Blue Gene - Enabled IBM to be a winner of National Medals of Science, Technology and Innovation


You can see and become fan of my current 69 items from this link.

Through this post, I'd also would like to obtain your views on use of this new medium for both business and pleasure. What could be the implications from your angle?

More and more followers in Twitter

As you may have noticed I was missing my little bird a.k.a. Twitter in Superfan. I got it back as alluded in yesterday's blog.

It was fantastic a to connect with a few networkers from Superfan who have Twitter accounts. Look forward to connecting more friends from here in Twitter. It is fun and useful to enhance networking. Tremendous tweeting is going on in Twitter!

Come and join us....let's tweet together for collaborative learning! I can be followed by myil1.

A blog about Twitter in Superfan

Hi all,

This is a new blog series which I called it reflections from heart and mind. I would like to update my online activities here.

Day by day, I find the Superfan fascinating with new objects and concepts. I started blogging in there. Today, I teased about Twitter which is an object stolen by a member as a game. The title of the blog is "Follow game: Are you a twitter geek? Let's follow each other"

I have also posted a blog to Ecademy titled "Why 44789 people to die?"

It was great to see a number of Follow Friday for my Twitter Account. I felt honoured.

I posted only one article to Linkedin and read my messages in Naymz. Adding new items to Yasni tonight...

Great to start blogging in the Blogger too.

Cheers,
Mehmet Yildiz
