I’m sorry. But I love men. But you can’t tell me as a woman that it’s okay to put up with rape threats online. You have no fucking clue what it is like to be a woman. We can’t go out at alone at night. I was attacked last year and the year before in the real world – followed to my home – and I’m in my 40’s. Stop saying that being threatened online is okay. You have no fucking clue what it is like to be a woman. No clue. It is not acceptable to be threatened with rape and death on social media.

Sexism on Social Media
I remember when i was a manager at publishing company in London and the fullfillment guys downstairs had boobs calendars on the walls in their production office and they sent me an email where a woman was being fucked by a bottle of champagne. I complained and nothing was done. When I grew up my dad told me i could do anything. When I got to the age of working I realized that it would be a struggle because some men, many men treated me like shit simply because I was female. When I was younger it really upset me. I was young and as a young women I wanted to be liked. It’s very upsetting to be treated such a way because you are female. Of course I also later met some amazing men, bosses, male workers who I loved and loved and was one of the “boys.” Those men I love. To the other men – let’s not let them get away with it because there’s laws about racism and now people are taking notice of homophobia and still women struggle. The one thing I don’t get is why young boys/men on forums are using rape language? I see it all the time. Why do they talk this way? I thought that being a young guy you’d want to fight other men but where does rape of women come in to it? Where do they get this stuff from? Fuck free speech. Stop “rape” on social media.
Twitter rape threats to women
My 19 year old niece thinks that because I am a feminist I hate men. No, I hate misogynists. I love men. I hate bigots. Why does she think this way? because the male media has told her that feminists are men hating and lesbians and men hating lesbians. Bottom line is – Twitter and Facebook – if it was men getting these threats, if it was men who were treated as second class citizens and sex objects for centuries, if it was men who only really got legal rights in the 20th century, then all these rape threats and death threats would be stopped. There is no free speech. If there was – well go and try and threaten the president, the USA and use bombs and kill in your text and see how far you get. Social media should never be above the law.

“10 Most Expensive Mistakes Filmmakers Make: No Social Media Plan and No PR Strategy.”
No Social Media?
“Sales agents and distributors I meet in Cannes and Berlin are incresingly impressed by a filmmaker that can come to them with a social media following. The reason is really simple: If you have people interested in your work, it makes it easier for the distributor to sell them your film.”
No PR?
“Once a filmmaker understands that the fun part of the filmmaking process is the actual shoot, the marketing and selling of the film kicks in.”

The London Photographers Association social media initiatives received a special mention in USAToday.com, Journalism.co.uk and GetaNewsJob.com.
“Interesting initiative for members of the London Photographic Association (LPA): existing members who bring in new paying recruits to the organisation will receive promotion by the LPA through social networks.
This will include: Member’s bio and link to your LPA portfolio posted on LinkedIn LPA discussion page; One week of Twitter updates with links to your LPA folio; One week of Facebook posts with images from portfolio and a link to your LPA portfolio page. Could this kind of promotion package be adopted by other member organisations or indeed members clubs on news sites or is there a danger in allowing a third-party to part-manage your professional profile on social networks?” Get a News Job.

Social Media Networks
Websites are no longer the online marketing tool for your business. Social networking, through blogs and network hubs like Facebook, have taken over the world in connecting people. And it’s no longer the sport of the young or tech nerds, businesses have found it the most effective, cost effective, and modern way to communicate their business to people of all ages. This is the digital age. Do you want to stay connected?
PR web marketing, social networking experts, and professional bloggers are essential in making sure that articles about your business are search engine optimized, have links back to your website, and are given as much exposure online through social network hubs, web magazines and blogs. Think of it as PR for your business.
Successful and long-term blogging can be directed to bring in tremendous business. By posting articles about your business or posting articles that even just mention your business in passing, you gain customers because your business name or product is linked back to your website, and in turn lifts you up the ranks. The more buzz your business receives, the higher the ranking on search engines like Google.
The power of blogs gets your business noticed by promoting your new services, products, and website through professionally written blog posts, articles, interviews, and other promotional and marketing services through hubs like Facebook. Invites through Facebook can be directed to a certain demographic about your business activities and is the most popular way to organize and publicize a marketing event around your business.
Like any marketing campaign, your blog content should be updated at least once a week, sometimes every day. Not many business owners can keep up with this task. Bloggers have expertise in writing for an audience and can supplement the business owner’s personal blog posts or provide 100% of the content as ghostwriters. After all, a blog is about connecting and communicating with your readers. A blog about your business sets you apart and gives your business a human face. A conversational and user-friendly blog that describes your services, shares stories about who you are, and will encourage readers and potential customers to your site. Blogs are set up so that readers/customers can make a comment about a post, thus you will know first hand how your business is doing and what your customers need. Conversation builds trust.
Social networking hubs: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, StumbleUpon, and around 40 others. Applications and plug-ins are available so that social networking sites are updated every time a new blog post is published. Think of this as a press release. A blog post is published about your business, it is then sent out to your readers and potential customers. Each post is linked back to your website. What this means is that your URL is posted on every blog post. Customers from all over the world can click on your URL and be linked back to your website.
Ginger Media & Entertainment provides PR web marketing, development, and project management services to the art, media, and entertainment industries, and social networking services, blog and article content to business and editorial websites.
