Social Media Aggregation Sites

E-mail Print PDF

Social Media AggregationWhen I first started on line like most I had absolutely no understanding of how many social media sites there were out there. AND it is growing daily. With sites like Ning everyone can now create their own social media site, will it ever end?? As I learn more I continually hear people talking about the aggregation of their social media sites and have read a few blog posts on how to use them. Here is the wikipedia definition:

Social network aggregation is the process of collecting content from multiple social network services, such as MySpace or Facebook. The task is often performed by a social network aggregator, which pulls together information into a single location,[1] or helps a user consolidate multiple social networking profiles into one profile.[2] Various aggregation services provide tools or widgets to allow users to consolidate messages, track friends, combine bookmarks, search across multiple social networking sites, read RSS feeds for multiple social networks, see when their name is mentioned on various sites, access their profiles from a single interface, provide "lifestreams", etc.[2] Social network aggregation services attempt to organize or simplify a user's social networking experience,[3] although the idea has been satirized by the concept of a "social network aggregator aggregator."[4]

Computer TerminologiesDesktop, notebooks, netbooks and windows: Do you wonder where these computer terminologies came from? Well, just like any other products in the market, these items have their own histories. You are using these terms in computer parlance but you never had the time to research on why such ideas came to existence. Perhaps, it will be best to look into the history of these computer terminologies.

Basically, computer terms started with the invention of computers. The computers you are using today will not be existent without the presence of loom devices used in cloth weaving.

The Worldwide Web Isn't a "Thing"

E-mail Print PDF

The Web Isn't a ThingFor the people of Taos, and anyone else who is interested.

The idea that the Web is a "thing" is nuts. Sure, there is a demonstrable box with a wire. It's just that the sheer number of wires and boxes is so huge that it really isn't about boxes, is it?

It's interesting to work in a field where "nothing is real." There is no "real" web site. It's as transient and changeable as that passing thought.

It's actually just an extension of your mind. Big mind..., Big web, baby. Your information is what's important. Your data.

Don’t Stake Out Your Territory

E-mail Print PDF

Stand in the HighwayIn looking at a real web presence, don’t “stake out your territory”.., stand “in the middle of the highway”. Sure, find your niche. But don’t limit yourself. Receive as much as you give. Give as much as you receive. And that doesn't mean money.

National / International sales are way more possible than you think. Groups accessing truthful information are creating new opportunities for all of us to understand the world around us and  get the things we need & want, and go where we want to go.

Web 1.0 tried some new business models. Web 2.0 sort of turned the Web into it’s own money machine. For Web players with any viable site that makes it different.

The 4 Benefits of Outsourcing

E-mail Print PDF

OutsourcingThere is a lot of talk about outsourcing these days. It has become an extremely important part of most industries, allowing workers from around the world to collaborate on projects that might have, at one point, taken months or years to complete. Almost anything can be outsourced now, from payroll and accounting to sales and computer programming. Offshore or domestic third parties can offer less expensive and more efficient services than salaried employees and have proven themselves to be a very useful tool for essentially any major business.

Saving Money

The biggest and most obvious incentive of outsourcing is in the money saved. Depending on the size and scope of a company, outsourcing provides the kind of cost cutting option that a small or mid-sized business needs to survive in a global economy - one in which so much depends on being able to offer the same service as a large company.

New for Web 2010Web innovation is at least as unpredictable as anything else, perhaps more so. Still, some trends are shaping up already, a few of which have been percolating for a year or more. There will be technological advances, attitude shifts and various convergences of devices, Web sites, "personal tech" and "smart applications." The following themes and focuses - among many others, certainly - will be in the news in 2010.

The ever-present "now" - Facebook and Twitter, and their hordes of imitators, brought a bubble to the real-time trend in the latter part of 2009. The growing demand for instant everything, immediate interactivity and "nowness" reflects people's desire to make the most of every moment, and fast. Smartphones, netbooks and WiFi-enabled whatchamacallits will converge more and more until people won't trust restaurant ratings unless they're from diners still at the tables. Real-time collaboration will get a boost, too, once Google can explain exactly what Wave is.
