This week kicked off with Cyber Monday<\/a>, one of the busiest online shopping days of the year. Experts say e-commerce sales may have reached $900 million<\/a> as people searched for incredible deals<\/a>.\u00a0 Did you find any?<\/p>\n

\"\"The holidays are a season for giving.\u00a0 This year, there is a twist to the old way of giving with cause-related social media campaigns<\/a>.\u00a0 The most symbolic of the season, perhaps, is the Salvation Army\u2019s<\/a> Red Kettle, which has an online<\/a> program with an array of features, including mobile texting, an iPhone app and Facebook page, among others.\u00a0 Of course, the emblematic bell ringers<\/a> will still be outside retail stores and on city streets. \u00a0It\u2019s a great way to give back to the less fortunate!<\/p>\n

Do you follow your favorite celebrities<\/a> on Twitter and Facebook? \u00a0If so, don\u2019t be alarmed if you see many of them go dark. \u00a0As part of a fundraiser for World AIDS Day,<\/a> many celebs– including Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian– will sign off social media until $1 million is raised<\/a>. \u00a0It\u2019s great to see these personalities using their celebrity for a good cause!<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know is a social media<\/a> fanatic, you might want to check out new shoe designs from Adidas<\/a>, which come in either Facebook or Twitter styles. What do you think: Fad or flop?<\/p>\n

As you begin to develop advertising strategies for the New Year, strongly consider allocating budget to social media. According to new findings on MediaPost<\/a>, \u201csocial media has already attained the kind of advertising influence and acceptability as advanced forms of TV advertising such as video-on-demand and HDTV.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"The agency that put man on the moon has been named the most social media and Web savvy entity<\/a> in a recent report. Yes, we are talking about NASA, which has a viewer-customizable website complete with streaming video and interactive features. Is it any surprise that rocket scientists have a high digital IQ<\/a>? What parts of NASA\u2019s online strategy can inspire you to revamp your own website?<\/p>\n

Family Ties\u2026The majority of Americans still rank family<\/a> as the most important element of their lives, according to a recent poll from Pew Research\/Time.<\/a> The poll also revealed that nearly half of respondents\u2019 family lives turned out differently than they expected.
