The mobile food industry has been booming in urban cities like New York City, Seattle, Los Angeles.
In New York City, Vendy Awards are held annually to commend the best street food vendor!

Knowing how tech-savvy people these days are, it is not shocking to know that people would search for food online. Mashable shares a video on how such food truck businesses are using social media to reach their customers. This is a creative marketing strategy as they receive attention by announcing their location and people actually would go to find them.

It is official – Facebook is the number one ranking, surpassing Google’s Orkut as the leading social networking site for the first time in July 2010 with 20.9 million visitors while Orkut had only 19.9 million. This was followed by BharatStudent and then Twitter.

If you were wondering to yourself, what is the big deal? I always hear about Facebook but seldom hear of Orkut.

Well, here’s the BIG deal: Since Orkut’s launch in 2004, it has been the prevalent social networking site in India and in Brazil, despite not taking off as well in other countries.

The first thing you get online, what is the thing you would do? Is it signing in to Facebook or Twitter to check for new notifications, get to your game to collect rewards, or clear your mailbox?

It is not surprising what activities make up the top three: social networking, online games and e-mail. Compared to last year, the usage of such platforms have increased significantly.

What is the buzz about social media?
It is just another fad, or is it here to stay?

It has been around for quite some time – many businesses are using it as a new marketing tool; MNC, SME, even non-profit organizations like churches, museums, schools are implementing this to get closer to their audiences.

Blogging is primarily used as a medium to dissipate thoughts and opinions, like an online diary, and are also able to communicate information.
