de

Bună, Sunt un utilizator atât al Dropbox, cât și al SugarSync; ce sunt aceste sisteme?  Pe scurt, locuri unde puteți stoca anumite fișiere (pe care doriți) din hard-disk; salvați fișierele din calculator pe Net, urmând ca ulterior să le sincronizați cu alte device-uri (pui fișierele acasă și, ulterior, le sincronizezi cu cele de la muncă; Avantajul?

"AUDIO!" / "VIDEO!" / "PHOTO GALLERY" – this isn’t a good promotion strategy

de

Quite a few of the news web sites in Romania started adding „VIDEO” or „AUDIO” or „PHOTO GALERY„. In my opinion, it’s a poor choice. It’s only addressing the emotional state – „like / love / hate”. It’s not cerebral, it’s not smart, intellectual or anything. Glamour & briz-briz & fantasies. I want to visit a news web site to read news which is of intellectual interest to me. I don’t want tabloid-style news. P.S.: Not my original idea, but I embrace it 100%.

What should you look for at a speaker for a confrence?

de

I used to look at two major things when analyzing a speaker at a conference: Personal charisma / ability to convey a message; The message itself. But it’s more than this; most conferences also have a main theme, they focus on something; well, from that perspective, it’s best to see a speaker who: Has done something great in his / her field; I got this idea at Webstock 11; some speakers had no particular charisma, others lacked a very good message; but, still, they fitted well, due to their experiences; it was very appropriate to see a top performer in his/her field, even if the message and the „package” of the message was not that great. So, this should better help you / me decide: La ce conferințe / training-uri / workshop-uri / seminarii din România să participi? Cum alegi? Experiențe personale – Fii eficient!

Idea: (self-)promotion doesn’t work

de

There are two business models: You can solve a problem, get recommendations, solve other problem, get more recommendations; Another one is bragging „I’m so good, look at me!”; promoting yourself all over places. I think it’s better to use the first model (personal recommendations) rather than the second one (self-promotion); of course, you can do some self-promotion, but this should not be the key factor; other people’s recommendations count more. The search engines, who put much more emphasis on a link you get from other web sites than your own, knew this for years. Main takeaway – let others do the promotion for you; it’s more believable. I got this idea from Vlad STAN (Twitter), at the Coaching Support Group Bucharest, Noble Manhattan training center. My follow-up: 2011.09.15 Vlad STAN at Coaching Support Group Bucharest.

Idea: Constantly communicate with your target audience

de

How about this? Constantly communicate with your target audience. So, if you have a Facebook group, keep it alive; Twitter? Communicate constantly; newsletter? Set a frequency and keep it; you should constantly blog with a defined frequency; So, the main idea – whatever your channel of communication is (Twitter, Facebook, email, newsletter, blog, forum), you should keep a constant flow of communication with your audience. Constant. I got this idea from Vlad STAN (Twitter), at the Coaching Support Group Bucharest, Noble Manhattan training center. My follow-up: 2011.09.15 Vlad STAN at Coaching Support Group Bucharest.

Password strength

de

A password can be like this: a. anahasapples – or like this: b. ana8has8apples8 – or like this: c. uiY5*bmR*)($H; The thing is, it’s easier to decipher a password only with letters (a.) , than one with letters and numbers (b.) or one with special characters and both lowercase and uppercase letters. But, in my opinion, the person deciphering a password should have the information that your password is only numbers / letters / special characters. How would perfect password look like? In a lot of people’s opinion, in the above example, it would looks something like: c. uiY5*bmR*)($H. My opinion? The perfect password is this: ana8has8apples8and3she3really3likes3them9a9lot (or a similar model). It’s much easier to remember a password with real words than a password with complicated strings. And it is, actually, harder to decipher than a complicated password.

Hello! (on Skype)

de

First, let’s start with a song to get us into the mood: Now, for the serious business. :) If you say „Hello!” on Yahoo! Messenger and the person is not online, the message gets sent to the person only when that person comes online. You may or you may not be online at that specific time. On Google Chat, the message gets sent as an email. On Skype, things are different, though – you can say „Hello!” and the message will only be sent when both of the persons are online. So, if you want to talk to someone who rarely uses Skype, you can just open its profile, say „Hello!”, and, when both of you are online, the message will be sent. Cool, huh?
