What is a web presence? Is it just having an email id and surfing through website? Is it making a website? In fact it is all those things and much more. It is almost like creating you identity online like the offline world.
So here go some tips on how you can create your identity online.
1. E-mail
The most important thing you need to have to stay on the online world is that you have an e-mail. You can see wide variety of free email providers now, though Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail are the leading ones. Yahoo offers unlimited web space, Gmail offers 6.5 GB (and increasing) and Hotmail offers 5 GB space.
2. IMs
Instant Messengers (IMs) are inevitable for you presence in the web. You can get an IM service from almost all e-mail providers and some ‘made for IM’ like skype. They two have same things in common, you need to sign up, add contacts and then chat. This is a free service almost every where so make sure you use it.
Some simple rules on using the E-mail and IMs.
1. Do not all in caps. Typing all in caps means that you are yelling or screaming online. Various studies on the topic reflect that it is more difficult and takes longer time to read the texts all in caps.
2. Do not leave your subject field blank. This is very important for you email receiver to know about the email and manage it. Avoid using all caps or all small case, terms such as ‘Hi’, ‘Help’ or ‘Please Respond’, or the recipient’s name in the subject field, as you may be misidentified as a spammer, and your e-mail automatically deleted.
3. Avoid using colored text and background colors or images on your e-mails or chatting. You color and formatting choices can make your texts impossible bto read.
4. When you need to send email to a group of peoples then prefer using BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field than the ‘To’ field. When an email is sent through BCC field then the recipients will get a copy of the email while their email address remains invisible to other recipients. Long lists of email addresses at the beginning of any email is an immediate sign that the sender is either a novice or doesn’t care to respect other’s privacy.
5. Don’t send spam emails. These are like sending or forwarding chain letters, with so called informative stuffs or advertisements. This just annoys the recipient and you may be forever send to junk group or furthermore ‘delete contact’.
6. Never give out your personal information without confirming you are communicating with a reputable party.
7. Don’t reply to nasty or spam emails. Just hit ‘Delete’ to those kind of emails.
8. Use emoticons or acronym to covey your message in short. When you are happy send a smiley .
3. Online Social Networking websites
The online social networking website lets you connect with your friends and make friends of similar interests. Myspace, Orkut, Facebook, hi5, Bebo are some of the social networking websites around. But don’t just go to anyone without knowing where you friends are. Choose the one with the most of your friends on.
4. Making your own website / Blog
A sign of being professional on the internet is that you have your own website or a blog. You can get your website for free or paid service. For a free website freewebs.com and googelpages.com are suitable, and with payments you can make high end website with godaddy.com, hostmonseter.com, bravnet.com and many others.
Blogging is a free service but there are some paid ones too. For blogging the best ones around are the Blogger.com and wordpress.com. It is not necessary to know HTML to blog. You can have your personal blog or a family blog or a business blog. Blog is now accepted as a wise tool to share information and get news and gossip about.
Making them popular is way another thing to do. I have given you tips how to make your website/ blog popular on my previous posts.
5. Forums
The usefulness of online communities is best represented by looking at various forums. It’s the simplest way for like-minded people, or people with a common interest, to come together and share their thoughts and opinions in true online style, without having to take trouble to actually meet anyone.
If you haven’t used a forum then please use anyone and don’t take it lightly, this is where you can gain lots of reputation and diminish it too. While using forum you may also find some addicted ones who are very much committed to forums. These are peoples who post several times a day and are significantly responsible for its growth.
We don't need to refer you the forums that's ur job to find your likely forums.

Creating Smiles all the time- the joke series
#1
There were 11 people hanging onto a rope that came down from a helicopter; 10 were men and the other was a woman.
The helicopter pilot said that there were too many people on the rope and it would break and they would all die, if someone didn’t get off.
No one could decide who should go, so finally the woman gave a really heart touching speech, saying how she would give her life to save the others, because women were used to giving up things for their husbands and children.
As soon as she finished, all the men started clapping.
#2
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip, set up their tent, and fall asleep. Some hours later, Holmes wakes his faithful friend. “Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see.” Watson replies, “I see millions of stars.” “What does that tell you?” Watson ponders for a minute. “Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it’s evident the Lord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?” Holmes is silent for a moment, then speaks. “Watson, you idiot, someone has stolen our tent.”

Consultant charge
A tourist walked into a pet shop and was looking at the animals on display. While he was there, another customer walked in and said to the shopkeeper, “I’ll have a C-monkey please.”
The shopkeeper nodded, went over to a cage at the side of the shop, and took out a monkey. He fit a collar and leash and handed it to the customer, saying, “That’ll be $ 5000.” The customer paid and walked out with his monkey.
Startled, the tourist went over to the shopkeeper and said, “That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?”
The shopkeeper answered, “Ah, that monkey can program in C — very fast, tight code, no bugs, well worth the money.” The tourist looked at the monkey in another cage.
“That ones even more expensive — $10,000! What does it do?” “Oh, that one’s a C++ monkey. It can manage object-oriented programming, Visual C++, even some Java. All the really useful stuff,” said the shopkeeper.
The tourist looked around for a little longer and saw a third monkey in a cage of its own. The price tag around its neck read $ 50,000. He gasped to the shopkeeper, “That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?”
The shopkeeper replied, “Well, I haven’t actually seen it do anything, but it says it’s a consultant.”

Feeling rather glamorous in my long red cape, I decided to amuse my grand children by pretending to be Red Riding Hood. “Who am I”? I asked, bursting into the room. Without a moment’s hesitation, they chorused, “Dracula!”

How poor we are?
One day a wealthy father took his son on a trip to the countryside with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm with a very poor family. On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?"
"It was great dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah,"
"So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered, “I saw we have one dog and they have four. We have pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have creek that has no end. We have imported lantern in our garden and they have starts at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us but they serve themselves. We buy our food but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect us. They have friends to protect them.”
With this the boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added. “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”
"It was great dad!"
"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah,"
"So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered, “I saw we have one dog and they have four. We have pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have creek that has no end. We have imported lantern in our garden and they have starts at night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
