Now that you have familiarized ourselves with the various segments. I would like to also tell you about the various platforms and social networking sites we are on and how you can connect with us.

We are on Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus. In the future we hope to join more sites to be able to get to a wider range of readers and we would be sure to inform you when that happens.

Our Facebook page is our main connection page. It is our brand projector and a platform by which we reach our audience on Facebook. Via this page we give our audience information and get feedbacks about our brand. We encourage our audience and followers to like this page on Facebook so that they can be kept up to date on current affairs.

Our Facebook group is our community on Facebook. It is meant to initiate discussions and debates or continue discussions initiated on the blog. We encourage our Facebook friends to join this page as it provides a more direct way to reach them.

Our Facebook person is the personality behind KontriMan Journal on Facebook. We have friends and audience and can communicate as a person to our friends on Facebook.

Our twitter page is a means to relate with our audience on that platform. We can easily reach out to our audience with brief messages and engage other personalities on issues.

Our Google Plus profile is a Google version of the Facebook person. It would work as on Facebook.

Our Google Plus Page is the Google version of the Facebook Page. It is to project our brand.

Our Google Plus Community like the others is just like our Facebook group. It is an extension of the platform (the KontriMan Journal blog) for discussions, interactions and debates.

The advantage of the Google platform is to further help with Google blogs. It is a new and fast growing social media that can accommodate audiences that are no more interested in being served by Facebook.

Finally we encourage our readers and audiences alike to keep visiting the blog, kontrimanjournal.blogspot.com and to encourage their friend to visit the blog also. Like the articles, place comments and share on various platform.

The KontriMan Journal team promises that this would be a spectacular year on KontriMan Journal and wishes everyone a prosperous New Year ahead.
