Do you also want to make a difference? Let’s join hands and start the mindblowing social network 1We The Chain New York!
In November last year I met Robbert Hagens, the founder of 1We – One World Experience. A crazy guy from Holland who has the guts to create a new style development organization which takes a distance to all forms of regular business. It’s all about positive TV programs and social media to create awareness, and surprising development projects to empower people all over the world.
What I like most is the fact that this organization is supported by a network of entrepreneurs who are involved from a personal angle. This 1We The Chain is a cool concept which has a lot of potential to make an impact in each corner of the world. By joining hands on a global level, a mindblowing strength source will arise with renewing initiatives towards a better world.
That’s why I am resolved to bring 1We The Chain to New York! Because I strongly believe that we from the Big Apple can make a huge contribution to make 1We – One World Experience a distinctive and groundbreaking organization.
Therefore I need you guys! Only together can we make a big difference happen.
To launch 1We The Chain New York in September this year an amount of $15,000 is required.
Funds raised through Kickstarter will go directly to starting this social network with Chain Drinks on a regular basis, and to supporting the 1We development projects.
Every pledge from $50 will be remunerated with an invitation for the official launch. An inspiring event in the presence of the guys from Holland with a lot of art, music, films, stories and -of course- a little bit of glitter and glamour!
In return you will be part of a unique social network in which you and your company can play a leading role. You can become actively involved in the 1We projects, you will be offered great marketing tools to integrate within your company and you will have the possibility to create new projects and products with 1We. All towards a better world!
Thank you for your support! Hope to see you at the launch!

Lady Gaga is basically a lesson in iconography and yummy food for thought, as seen in the Lady Gaga cookies created by her “Little Monsters” during the North American leg of her “Fame Monster Ball Tour”.
Take a closer look below to see which Lady look inspired which Gaga goody:
If you could bake a Lady Gaga cookie of your own, which one of her infectious pop songs will be your muse?

Small businesses heart social media, according to data based on a telephone survey of 500 small business owners conducted by The University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business in December 2009.
The study examined the relationship between social media and small businesses, revealing that technology adoption rates in the U.S. have doubled in the past year from 12% to 24% when compared against a similar baseline study conducted in 2008.
That figure means roughly one in five small business owners are actively using social media in their business and increasingly investing in social media applications including Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and blog platforms like WordPress.
In fact, 45% of surveyed respondents even believe their social media initiatives will pay off financially in 12 months or less.
As the graphic below details, small business owners using social media are primarily engaging in social media through company pages (75%) and status updates (69%) on Facebook or LinkedIn. On the flipside however, only small percentage of respondents — just 16% — reveal using Twitter to engage with their customers.
Whether or not social media can help small businesses on the lead generation front, it is identified as the primary motivating factor for engaging in social media. That’s why 61% are still putting in the long hours and making active efforts to identify new customers using social networks (or “customer service channels”) like Facebook or LinkedIn.
Even though Twitter announced that over 10 billion tweets have been sent to date, small businesses have yet to use it as a customer service channel, but thought leaders are still expecting it to become the next predominant platform for small business owners. As Yahoo, Altavista and other players in the search engine world have discovered, you can’t rest on your laurels forever, especially in the fast-paced world of social media.
If your small business has little or no social media presence, we invite you to check out Yellow Peril Media’s social media services and to contact us for a free consultation on how to leverage social media to organically grow your enterprise.

You do not mess with the Fierce Ghetto Bitch that is Naomi Campbell. Miodrag Mejdina, the limo driver who was allegedly attacked from behind by the supermodel, is now the one apologizing for getting angry and overreacting.
”I had an argument with Naomi Campbell. I got angry and overreacted. I regret involving the police,” said Miodrag via his lawyer. “This whole thing has been blown out of proportion and I apologize to Ms. Campbell for causing that to happen.”
Of course, being the DIVA that she is, Naomi issued a statement saying she was pleased with the apology.
“I have worked very hard on correcting my previous wrongdoings and I will not be held hostage to my past,” Naomi said. “I am pleased the driver has apologized. I would like to put the last few days behind me and move on.”
As a result, all charges will be dropped and our favorite abusive supermodel doesn’t have to look forward to doing community service sweeping floors and scrubbing toilets with the likes of Boy George. That means no more reoccurring nightmares involving cell phone attacks on personal assistants, maids, police offers, and up-and-coming models aged 15 and older — a win-win for the general public at large!
I bet Naomi had to swallow her pride and “donate” what she earned in an hour ($15,000 or more by some accounts) to Miodrag to shut him up…and have him issue an apology like a beleaguered Harry Whittington.
Remember him? Harry was the old man who was shot in the face by VP Dick Cheney, yet another unapologetic Fierce Ghetto Bitch who made his victim apologize for having the audacity to not “play dead” when attacked.
