BLOG today, EMPLOYMENT tommorow


The new resume: Blogging!!!!really tho?? YES IT IS..........

Putting down your ideas and thoughts about different material and issues is the whole idea behind blogging. But the question here is that does it actually tell who you are?

I guess so!!!!Although we are limited in our blogging in our Itec class because we are given topics to blog on, but in the bigger picture we blog on our daily life, stuff that happens around and things that basically interest us.

Blogging is not formal but it does tells a lot of our creativity, shows people how we can communicate our ideas and talk. The blog tells who you are from our styles, language and perception of life as a whole.

Your blog speaks and markets you!!!!!

It's interesting to know that even the President of United states has a blog. We all have a social life outside of work where we need to express ourselves but in doing so, we should be a little bit careful because these blogs travel fast, far and wide and might end up in the hands of employees.

Now look at your blog and think would you get hired if an employee reads it?

The Three Magic C's : Collaboration, Communication, Connection

Everyweek in our itec-335 class we are required to post a blog and comment on @ least 3 other people's blog posts and we all are required to have a circle of friends......

This is collaboration and in the 21st century, technology has aided it.

Building relationships and connections with others arises from efficient communication. The use of Blog Posts, video conferences, Facebook, twitter, Smartphone 3G devices such as blackberry, iphone, Second life, Podcasts all help to facilitate this collaboration amonsgt people and companies.

These tools are out there to help us work as a team, facilitate our learning and improve our level of communication between individuals. There are advantages such as improving learning skill, improving communication skill and disadvantages such as distractions and giving out personal information online. But we must utilize these tools and try to use them for the right purposes at all times especially in environment we find ourselves in.

Today's world is practically moving at a fast pace and quite a large number of people seem to be on the ride. Would you like to be left behind?

I have a "VIRTUAL" dream


Hello and welcome once again to my Blog......I had so much fun during the Spring break @ Miami Beach, i cried while boarding the PLANE back to DC....Now it's time for WORK!!!!

The Second life is a wonderful discovery as it has helped in so many things and it basically an upcoming tool used for connecting the real world to the virtual world. the thing is that every little thing that has an advantage always has a disadvantage......"Google it"...

When placed in position of leadership of a virtual team , we have huge responsibilities and tasks on our hand we must accomplish, the same goes for the real world. For the fact that you are not always physically present for efficient communication between members of your team, you must set aside and think of various ways to bridge the gaps and lapses that exists.

Being able to build trust around your team is efficient but easy if you could be open, treat other members of your team fairly, reward them when necessary, constantly check up team members and properly assign duties to each member of your team and watching their progress.

Dont be quick to judge and remain rational in your decision making. Have you ever wondered what President Obama faces on a daily Basis as the President of the United States??

"Cloning" the Real world



I am on K Street shopping at Georgetown, i bring out my smartphone and take a picture, it then shows me pictures and posts of my friends that are around, not forgetting to give me their location.

Is that not cool?Yes i believe it is......Thanks to the new AR Technology

Today we can make use of our smartphones to locate places, people and things of interest using GPS which has a virtual map of the world.

This technology behind the virtual world is remarkable as it has brought a connection between the real and virtual worlds.It tends to simulate almost all aspects of life including love, sports, relationships, the universe and is applied in gaming, video, science, imagery, business etc.

This amazing technology is advancing but it is costly. On the other hand, it generates income.The AVATAR movie that came out a few weeks ago in 3D has gulped over $1.5billion in revenue.

This new generation technology would boost sales through advertisements and also provide customer satisfaction. Wouldn't you like to take a virtual tour to MARS or a yacht cruise to the Carri-bean islands?

The Youngest Charming CEO in the world

http://www.ceoofme.com/
I wondered why i had to cut my head off from this charming picture of mine??

I am the new CEO of Me.Inc a company motivated to offer professional and customer friendly services to the world.

Your Brand is the image of your product in the market

The whole idea of Branding is marketing your product or service. Branding is not easy as you must come up with a unique brand name to distinguish your product or service from the market. But, it all starts from a single step that you have to take.

As individuals you all have ideas and stuff i.e products and services to offer no matter how little, big, brilliant, ridiculous, smart, or funny it may seem to be. With the help of social networking tools and the web we can start branding and marketing our products and services ranging from apparel, restaurants, phones, business and accounting firms etc.

We all love rocking popular designer clothings and apparel on a daily basis like Gucci, Louis V, Polo, True religion, etc but would it not be nice someday if you see people patronising your brand?

The wonders of Smartphones



Smartphones of the 21st century have been of so much use and help most especially to the younger ones.

They contain varied applications and programs that help our everyday life and also helps business.

The GPS chips on these smartphones help us not to lose directions as well as locating the closest McDonalds to you when your hungry.....I like that!!!!

These smartphones help us do more than just send text and receive calls. They allow us to send photos, videos, emails etc as well as receiving them...isnt that Beautiful?

The war amongst the N900, Iphone, Blackberry and the HTC is on which side would you support?

Google + Facebook = ??????


Welcome back....!!!!>>>>
I heard about the latest Nokia phone that came out from a friend while chatting on Facebook, and the next thing i did was to go to Google to search for the Nokia N900 smartphone.

I think you would practically do the same if it were you. The Google search engine help potential buyers by providing them necessary information about a product.

The market the say is an interaction between people.

This is what Facebook capitalized on by coming up with the concept of people connecting with people.It provided the marketers spaces on their site to create pages and put ads which would attract the central connectors who if are impressed by the product viewed or used, spread the efficacy of the product to other friends of theirs who in turn tend to purchase the product.

Thumbs up Mark!!!!....Smart Kid

The duo of Facebook and Google should be applauded for this transformational step in advertising from the era of running up and down or moving from block to block trying to sell a product to the era of sitting on a comfortable chair and desk and posting ads about your product and making reasonable sales.

So what would you do as a marketer to promote your product?
