New York: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with over 43.5 million likes on his personal Page and 13.7 million likes on his official Page on Facebook, is the most popular world leader on the social network as more world leaders are now paying to promote their posts, a new report said on Thursday. |
US President Donald Trump is at the second place with more than 23 million likes on his personal Facebook Page and Jordan’s Queen Rania is third with 16.9 million likes, said the “2019 World Leaders on Facebook” report — part of the annual “Twiplomacy” study — prepared by the leading global communications agency BCW (B... |
Brazil’s new President Jair Bolsonaro, who took office on January 1, is the most engaged world leader on Facebook. His Facebook page has registered more than 145 million interactions, almost twice as many as Trump who has 84 million total interactions. |
To counter the recent changes in Facebook algorithms, several world leaders are now promoting their posts and Pages with Facebook ads. In early March 2019, 50 pages had been running ads according to Facebook’s Ads Library. |
“Our latest ‘Twiplomacy’ study confirms that even among political figures who easily attract the attention of the public in social media, a paid strategy is still essential to secure reach and make a serious impact,” said Chad Latz, Chief Innovation Officer, BCW. |
“Additionally, we see how some leaders are very successful by being personal and approachable on the platform using all the tools at their disposal, from Facebook Live to Facebook Stories, to engage their audiences,” Latz added. |
Trump’s Facebook Page has posted more than 50,000 ads since its inception, while UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Page posted 74 paid ads in December 2018 to promote her ‘Brexit’ plan. |
The study, using aggregate data from Facebook’s “CrowdTangle” tool, analysed the activity of 962 Facebook pages of heads of state and government and foreign ministers. |
“Followers of world leaders’ Facebook pages grew by 10 per cent (year on year) but the interactions on their Pages have dropped significantly. While world leaders registered 1.1 billion interactions in 2016, that number has decreased by 32.3 per cent compared to their interactions in 2018,” the findings revealed. |

In February of 1998, in the midst of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, I interviewed Diane Blair about her dear friend Hillary Clinton. |
Oh, and one other thing: She loves her husband. The marriage is not a “partnership.” She loves the guy. Indeed, one of the saddest intimacies of the Blair papers was the implication the Clinton blamed herself, in a way, for the Lewinsky disaster. |
My overwhelming reaction to the release of the Blair papers was sadness–sadness because I remember Diane Blair fondly, the sort of smart, level-headed person I’d want as a friend. But also because it brought back the disgraceful bilge volcano of the Clinton years–the non-stop garbage peddled and sleazed by Drudge and R... |
In the end, Bill Clinton’s behavior toward women was primitive and embarrassing. He defiled the Oval Office…but looking back, he wasn’t a half-bad President, was he? |
It would be profoundly sad if all this manure were dredged up yet again. If Hillary Clinton does run for President, she should be examined carefully–as a public servant, not as a demonic caricature. She’s far better than that; I hope we are, too. |
In a major heist in the hosiery exports hub of Tiruppur in Tamil Nadu, miscreants broke open into a large jewellery shop owned by the Alukkas family of Kerala around midnight on Monday and virtually looted the entire showroom of its gold and diamond ornaments. |
The jewellery shop turned a virtual goldmine for the robber-gang whose meticulous planning and finesse in execution came to the fore, when employees were shell-shocked to find that the range of jewellery displaced in one showcase after another had simply vanished as they opened the shop on Tuesday morning, police said. |
Apparently taking advantage of ‘Shiv Raathri’ celebrations last night, the miscreants easily zeroed in on this target. The thieves gained entry through the ventilator slot after pulling it out on the rear side of the building, the Tiruppur District SP, Balakrishnan told Deccan Herald over phone. |
The miscreants had also used a gas cutter to cut open a grill gate inside and broke two wooden doors to gain access to the showroom area in the shop before they swept it clean of all its precious jewels and escaped. |
The FIR registered by police said that 4,750 sovereigns of gold jewellery and two kg of diamond-studded jewels have been pillaged by the thieves. Their value has been roughly estimated at Rs 7 crore, said Balakrishnan. |
The police official said that they were checking out the employees working in the jewellery shop and people in the vicinity in the heart of Tiruppur. The police have picked up some cues on which they are working. |
A gas cutter used in welding, a tiny cylinder, some implements including a screw-driver and a crowbar left behind by the robbers have been recovered from the building’s rear side. |
The jewellery heist came barely a day after an equally daring bank robbery in Chennai during lunch hour when attackers at gun-point had threatened the bank staff and decamped with Rs 14 lakh. Chennai police have rushed a team to Bangalore today to follow up on leads. |
It may be recalled that as the agitation over the Mullaperiyar dam issue in Tamil Nadu had recently taken a nasty turn, several jewellery, tea and confectionary shops run by Malayalees had been the target of attack by fringe pro-Tamil groups at different places. It is not immediately clear whether Tuesday’s heist at Ti... |
“The White House must be panicking” about the new USA Today/Gallup poll showing that Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich are beating President Barack Obama in 12 swing states, radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh said Tuesday. |
The poll shows Romney leading Obama among registered voters, 48 percent to 43 percent, in the 12 states the survey covered. Gingrich leads the president, 48 percent to 45 percent. |
“My submission is that the White House has been panicking for a long time,” Limbaugh said. |
He said the same poll found, in the swing states, the number of self-identified Democrats fell to 30 percent, from 35, since 2008. |
WASHINGTON — One Republican congressman says he’s going to start carrying a gun in public after a gunman opened fire on a baseball practice, injuring Rep. Steve Scalise and several others. Some lawmakers want beefed up security at town halls. |
Wednesday’s shooting jolted many lawmakers, leaving them feeling vulnerable. And as the political rhetoric becomes more shrill, many members of Congress said they are receiving more threats, by email and by phone. |
There are 238 Republicans in the House, but 217 voted for a bill that would repeal and replace President Barack Obama’s health law. It was unclear whether the email writer was referring to that vote. |
Tenney’s spokeswoman, Hannah Andrews, said the office alerted U.S. Capitol Police. |
Two weeks ago, the Capitol police dispatched two officers to the Houston district of Rep. Al Green, D-Texas. Green said his office got threatening phone calls after he called for President Donald Trump to be impeached. |
Green, who is black, said the callers called him the N-word and said he should be lynched. |
McSally is a Republican from Arizona and Kustoff is a Republican from Tennessee. |
The U.S. Capitol is one of the best-guarded buildings in the country, but when the vast majority of lawmakers leave the fortress of Capitol Hill, they’re on their own. Wednesday’s shooting highlights the vulnerability of lawmakers when they are in public. Only the congressional leaders have security details. |
Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y., told a Buffalo radio station that he plans to start carrying a gun in public. |
“It’s going to be in my pocket from this day forward,” said Collins, who added he has a permit. |
Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., said he feels adequately protected at the Capitol complex and feels no need to carry a gun. |
“That’s the wrong way to approach this. We’ve got Capitol police coming out of every office in the Capitol complex,” Duncan said. |
As majority whip, Scalise is the third-ranking Republican in the House. That’s the only reason members of the U.S. Capitol Police were at the practice — rank-and-file senators and House members don’t get security details. |
“I think the security detail saved a lot of lives because they attacked the shooter,” said Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas. Barton manages the baseball team. |
Two officers were injured along with a congressional aide and a lobbyist. The assailant later died after the incident. |
Attacks on members of Congress are rare. In 2011, a gunman shot Rep. Gabby Giffords, D-Ariz., in the head during a shooting rampage at a public event outside a grocery store in Tucson. The gunman killed six people and wounded 13, including Giffords. |
The last sitting member of Congress who was killed in the U.S. was Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, while he was running for president. Two others were killed abroad. |
Incidents at the Capitol are more common, even though the ornate tourist attraction is ringed with heavily armed Capitol Police and metal detectors at every entrance. |
Last year, Capitol police shot and wounded a Tennessee minister who, they said, pulled a gun and pointed it at officers as he was entering the Capitol Visitor Center. In 2015, a former postal worker from Florida flew a one-man gyrocopter onto the lawn of the Capitol. He said he was protesting the influence of money in ... |
One of the worst incidents happened in 1998, when a gunman stormed through a Capitol door and shot and killed two members of the Capitol police, detective John Gibson and officer Jacob Chestnut. |
After Wednesday’s shooting, some lawmakers said they would look into having more security when they gather in large numbers. But with 535 members of the House and Senate, lawmakers said it is unlikely rank-and-file members will get security details unless there is a specific threat. |
Associated Press writer Melinda Deslatte in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, contributed to this report. |

The NBA has ruled that Los Angeles Lakers president of basketball operations Magic Johnson did not tamper with Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons. |
"We have concluded that Magic Johnson’s statements regarding Ben Simmons do not constitute a tampering violation. The Philadelphia 76ers initiated with the Los Angeles Lakers by requesting a meeting between Johnson and Simmons. Both organizations ultimately concluded that such a meeting did not make sense at this time ... |
This comes after Marc Stein of the New York Times reported Johnson said Simmons wanted to meet with him to discuss "big guard" secrets during the offseason. |
Tampering charges would be nothing new for the Lakers. The NBA fined them $500,000 in August 2017 after general manager Rob Pelinka contacted the agent of Paul George despite being warned against it. The league also fined them $50,000 in June following Johnson's comments about Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo... |
Following Anthony Davis' trade request, the New Orleans Pelicans released a statement asking that the league "strictly enforce the tampering rules associated with this transaction" before ultimately not trading him to the Lakers or anyone else prior to last Thursday's deadline. |
As for this specific situation, 76ers general manager Elton Brand told 97.5 The Fanatic on Monday: "Rob Pelinka called me and said that Ben [Simmons] wanted to talk to Hall of Famers after the season; Magic was on the list. He asked for authorization... I said no. This was over a month ago." |
Elton Brand called Magic Johnson Monday afternoon to apologize for insinuating that the Lakers had called —unprompted— to ask permission for Johnson to speak with Sixers forward Ben Simmons in a radio interview Monday morning, league sources told ESPN. |
Simmons is under contract for the 2019-20 season and could become a restricted free agent in 2020-21, but it is understandable the 76ers wouldn't be thrilled about the Lakers talking with him. He shares the same agent, Rich Paul, as LeBron James and Davis, and he could theoretically join Los Angeles down the line. |
It would make sense for the 6'10" Simmons to want to learn from the 6'9" Johnson as he develops in the NBA. The latter is a Hall of Famer, five-time champion and three-time NBA Finals MVP, and he is one of the best players in league history. He's one of the few people who could relate to Simmons as he navigates his car... |
While Brand made sure the meeting won't happen, the Lakers don't have to worry about another tampering penalty. |
How popular you are on social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter is becoming increasingly important, as companies now look for well-connected and influential people to bring firepower to their brands. |
Digital experts have said social media and recruitment now largely go hand in hand. |
According to stuff.co.nz, firms are using LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to find new employees - both by listing opportunities and by increasing the chatter between recruiters and the people looking for jobs. |
Hays Recruitment New Zealand managing director Jason Walker said the firm had formed a relationship with LinkedIn - a social network space essentially for CVs - because they realised the massive importance of social media in recruitment. |
He said that social media has become an essential part of any organisation's recruitment strategy. |
In a recent survey of 270 employers across New Zealand, Walker said the company found that 64 percent of employers used LinkedIn to find new employees, 50 percent used Facebook and 10 percent used Twitter. |
Of those looking for jobs 74 percent use LinkedIn, 24 percent used Facebook, and 7 percent used Twitter. |
According to the report, Tom Bates, the social influence director for digital strategists Contagion, said employers look at a prospective employee's social media presence to validate what the candidate was saying about their online profile. |
The number of mobile phone subscribers in the world has surpassed the two billion milestone. |
Wireless Intelligence an information service set up by industry body GSM Association and consulting firm Ovum, made the claim yesterday. |
"The bulk of the new growth now is coming from large, less well-developed markets such as China, India, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Africa," Wireless Intelligence said in a statement. |
The largest mobile phone maker, Finnish Nokia, said last month it expects the two billion mark to be reached in the October-to-December quarter and three billion by 2010. |
"The total number of mobile connections is now equivalent to nearly a third of the estimated world population of 6.5 billion," Martin Garner, director at Wireless Intelligence, said in a statement. |
"Although total connections are higher than the real number of users due to multiple connections, or inactive pre-paid connections, this is still a significant landmark for the industry," he added. |
Nokia, which sold 31.9 per cent of all phones in the second quarter, according to researchers Gartner, is followed by US Motorola with 17.9 per cent of the market and Korean Samsung Electronics Co Ltd with 12.8 per cent. |
