The only social networking strategy that works

There is a lot of debate in the entrepreneurial community on the effectiveness of social networking. The reason why they are in disagreement over the return they can receive from social networking is because only the ones who do it right understand how well it can work.

Samsung's iPad Killer "Only" $400 At Sprint... With A $720, 2-Year Contract (GOOG, AAPL, S)

We're starting to see the first wave of tablets subsidized by carriers, which makes them look cheaper than Apple's iPad, which is not subsidized.

For example, the Google Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab will be subsidized down to $400 by Sprint Nextel, which announced today that Galaxy Tab sales will begin on Nov. 14.

But that cheaper price is only if you want to sign a 2-year contract, which will set you back $720 or more over two years. Sprint is offering two data plans for the Galaxy Tab: $30 per month for 2 GB of data, or $60 per month for 5 GB of data. (It's interesting that even Sprint, the "value" carrier, isn't offering an unlimited-access plan for tablets.)

Carrier subsidies have done wonders for sales of expensive smartphones. Will they also become the way most people buy tablet computers? We're skeptical -- that second data plan is costly.

But at very least, the lower prices may be enough to bring the slightly tablet-curious in the door. Whether they walk out with Galaxy Tabs and Sprint contracts -- or beeline to the Apple Store for an iPad -- is a different question.

Apple To Livestream Today’s Event To Apple Devices Only

Look at Apple. Isn't it so cute that they finally discovered the joys of livestreaming? Or rather rediscovered it as they used to stream their conferences way back when. But anyway, just like for the last event, Apple will be streaming today's festivities to compatible iOS devices and Macs running 10.6 Snow Leopard starting at 10:00 a.m. PDT today. PC users will be stuck watching some random stream transcoded from the official Apple one because clearly there aren't any PC users curious about purchasing new Apple products. Stay classy, Apple. Click through for a list of compatible devices.
