Many businesses go into social media thinking that it's an opportunity for them to tell the world about themselves. In reality, social media isn't about a business - it's about the people they're trying to talk with.

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.
But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.
Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.
Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Maia Mariner — Founder Lazy Sneakers
At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.

Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora
Hiria loves her community and loves technology, so leading Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.
Whare Hauora goes into Marae, community centres and schools to teach low-income families about Whare Sensors, how to build them and how they can help whanau make informed decisions about how their home affects their health.
With 20 years in technical and business roles spanning open data, open source, digital technologies and infrastructure, Hiria relishes her role and the difference Wharehauora can make in Aotearoa

How sweet is Joan Hodgins? The Kāpiti woman recently celebrated her 90th birthday by treating 34 children to a day of adventure - which included Scenic flights, a trip to Wellington Zoo and a ride on a double-decker "party bus". It was a day that rewarded children who had overcome tough times, Hodgins said.
"I thought that instead of having a lavish birthday party I could do something for children with difficulties. After all, if you're fortunate, isn't it nice to give to someone else?" To read more about Joan's story, click here.

The number of rats, stoats, and other bird predators you’re trapping may well go down as there are plenty of baby birds for them to dine out on instead of trap bait ☹️ So it’s really important to increase the effectiveness of these traps by clearing them much more often! This is the best thing you can do for the birds in your area between October and December.

Selling this mattress for a friend who bought it, tried to find a base, then ended up getting a base-and mattress combo.
But it's a very comfortable mattress, and seems to have had very little use.
You are most welcome to pop by and check it out - PM me!
