The Twitter Revolution The company is hiring like crazy -- it expects to double its size in the next month or two .... Even faster than Google, Amazon and eBay in their days, the three-year-old Twitter has become deeply embedded in the culture.
Twitter & LSD - 25 Similarities LSD alters users’ perceptions of time. What seems like a minute can actually be hours....... Just as mundane experiences can appear fantastic-plastic while on LSD, so too can the experience of otherwise trivial bits of information appear mind-expanding.
29 Years Of Robert Mugabe The once prosperous, successful nation has since devolved into a lawless state under the rule of the same man who fought for independence nearly 30 years ago.
Facebook's Recruiting Problem, Explained Facebook's people problem isn't limited to executive retention. The hot startup with over 200 million users also has a surprisingly hard time recruiting new employees -- from top executives to college grads to star Googlers.
Crowd Forms Against an Algorithm On Monday, Amazon.com confessed to “an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error” that caused thousands of books — a large proportion of them gay and lesbian themed — to lose their sales rankings, making them difficult to find in basic searches.
Obamaism: Charm and Disarm The Barack Obama global charm offensive continues unabated as he returns to Washington from Trinidad and Tobago where he spent two days as the main attraction and the great hope at the Fifth Summit of the Americas. In a single weekend, Obama completely transformed the diplomatic landscape of the region, by saying the most reasonable, middle-of-the-road things—We are interested in a different kind of relationship with Cuba. Venezuela is no threat to us; why not be courteous?
You can launch your own franchise, buy an existing one, or buy an individually owned and operated business. The site helps you with all of the three. The reverse is also true. If you want to sell a franchise you have, the site helps you with that as well, obviously.
FranchiseAdvantage.com is also in the recycling business, only it recycles businesses and franchises. The site makes it possible for you to "search, research, and contact." It is "middle man." I found listings from all over the country at the site. Some have called it "the best site for buying a franchise."
NexGen is located in Lindenhurst, New York, and is a leader in providing solvent recycling equipment to factories in a large variety of industries. It has over 8,000 customers in both public and private sectors, small and big companies. It helps reduce waste and re-use expensive solvents. It helps protect the environment in the process. It is a leader in waste solvent handling solutions.
NexGen is well positioned as a company as we become more conscious environmentally as a population, and it feels like we might be on the cusp of a green tech revolution. A company like NexGen makes environment sense, but then it also makes business sense. It helps with cost reduction.
There is research to prove blogging is good for your brain, like running is good for your thighs. Has to be. You can intuitively conclude. You don't need research for that. And by blogging, I mean blogging. That includes podcasting, that includes videoblogging. That includes micro-blogging, of course.
The Internet is the Ultimate Media. Every moment of every life can be recorded, technically speaking. But what if you are not interested in the mundane, what if you are only interested in ideas? What if you don't care if they are mixed up?
A blog is a web log. The web is the interweb - I got that word from Morgan Grice a few days ago - and it is the web that is key. How you log on to it, how you latch on to it, does not matter. Every netizen is a producer, every netizen is a potential consumer.
The netizens suck on the nipples of Mother Web for nourishment. Netizens produce knowledge, perspectives. Even when nothing groundbreaking is happening, even if it is just the proliferation of existing knowledge, something fascinating is happening.
Like I have said many times, you can not bring all Nepalis to MIT, but you can take MIT to everyone in Nepal. If all textbooks, if all journal articles, and all lecture videos are added to the soup called the social web, how much will you be missing if you are not on campus?
And the blog is the center of that action for each individual netizen. If nothing else, it allows you to display your ignorance.
The interweb is not just about putting faces in front of computer screens. It is about taking group dynamics to a whole different level. Barack Obama rode the internet all the way to the most powerful office in the world. How much more real does it have to be? Grassroots governance is going to be more exciting than grassroots campaigning.
The blog is where it gels for the netizen. That space is your space, and it has all the wheels of media. It has the feel of a classroom. It is in your face like a microphone. It is expansive like air, water, space. It is casual like gum. It is private. I mean, if you are struggling to get page hits.
