Use IFW’s award-winning Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter networks to get the news and make the news
Freight executives are increasingly making use of social networking opportunities such as Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter to network, communicate and debate topics with other key decision-makers in the industry.
As part of our continuing commitment to delivering the most relevant freight and logistics stories, IFW has harnessed the power of Facebook and launched its very own Facebook page: IFW – Freight and Logistics News.
The Facebook group allows members to discuss developments in the industry, vote in industry polls, keep up to date with the latest news and features from IFW, view the IFW TV channel and exchange opinions and advice with others.
Editor Kizzi Nkwocha said IFW’s Facebook page was not only the best place for industry players to network, but also provided a platform for readers to connect with IFW’s team of journalists and shape future editorial content.
The page has regular discussions on industry trends and offers key decision-makers in the freight, logistics, air, overland and shipping sectors a chance to connect with their peers.
IFW also manages a professional group for the freight and logistics industry at Linkedin and we have a Twitter profile at www.twitter.com/ifwnet
IFW recently scooped a prestigious Specialised Information Publishers Association (Sipa) award for our social networking efforts.
The 2011 Sipa Best Use of Social Networks award went to IFW for its use of LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to help bring publication and readership closer together.
Judges said they were impressed by the growth of the IFW LinkedIn group, which after being established for just over a year has more than 2,500 members, and the way social networks have been used to promote content, supplements and the IFW Awards.

Indore: Fake CM profile on Facebook makes fun of PM, Sonia

Indore: Social networking site Facebook emerged as nuisance for Bhopal police recently. Reason, a fake profile of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh has been created on one of the largest social networking sites in the world.
The sham profile created fun of the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi as it posted pictures that depicted the two leaders begging. Besides, it also had the pictures of Tricolour pasted between the flag of Pakistan.
In what is understood to be the first incident of cyber crime, a mischief maker- who is said to be a class XII student has created fake account in the name of Shivraj Singh. After the matter came into light, the CM had sent a written complaint to the DGP.
In the fake profile, the accused had mentioned CM’s qualification as a higher secondary passout. The birth date of the Chief Minister was also wrong on the profile which has more than 2,500 people, including top political leader, bureaucrats associated with it.
According to the police, the profile was created in January this year from a cyber café in Malharganj of the district. However, the matter could only be known on July 04.
Since creating a fake profile in itself is a cyber crime, Bhopal Police was investigating into the matter to nab the culprits.
The police initially got the sham account closed. Thereafter, it contacted the Hyderbad-based Facebook office where the company refused to provide the information of the account creator on the condition of maintaining privacy.
Through Interpol, the Bhopal police then sought help from the Singapore-based Head Office of Facebook, which informed that the fake account was created from a cyber cafre of Malharganj.
Following the information, the Bhopal Police CSP Ghanshyam Malviya raided the cyber café on Saturday night and arrested two people.
During the interrogation, the accused student said that he downloaded the images of Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh from the net, edited them and posted them on Facebook. The police is also questioning if he had created other fake accounts in the name of high-profile people.
Meanwhile, surprised by the incident, other harried political leaders are checking about their fake profile on the social networking site.
Facebook, which allows one to post messages, pictures, videos and almost anything on the page created by an individual, doesn’t have a technology that can authenticate real accounts of celebrities.
