Twitter Why So Many People Dont Get It

Twitter Why So Many People Don't Get It Hey there! jacobshare is using Twitter. 35 With hundreds of millions of users and growing, why are there still so many people who don’t get Twitter? A typical example Ouriel Ohayon, formerly of Techcrunch.com, used to be one of the biggest bloggers in France and in Israel. An Internet entrepreneur-turned-venture capitalist, a lot of technologies are paraded in front of him. As an early adopter of many of those technologies, you might think he would be quick to jump on something like Twitter but that wasn’t the case. Download The Ultimate Twitter Job Search Guide On March 13th 2007, Ouriel blogged “First impressions on Twitter” where among other things he said that it was “totally useless… totally addictive… still don’t get it but keep on trying…”eval Just 4 months later on July 11th 2007, Ouriel came back and blogged “One of the reasons I love Twitter” where he said “Right now Twitter is by far my favorite web app and my favorite channel of communication. I don’t care that most people don’t get it…” What did Ouriel realize during those few months?eval How Twitter created the problem: bad branding Visit any Twitter user’s homepage like mine and you’ll see the same message: Hey there! jacobshare is using Twitter. Twitter is a free service that lets you keep in touch with people through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing? Join today to start receiving jacobshare’s updates. The key phrase is “What are you doing?” When I first saw this question, I thought to myself “how boring. Who wants to know that I’m now blogging, that I’m now going shopping, that I’m now sitting on the train? Why would I want to spend time constantly updating everyone on my status? Worse, why would I want to drown myself in tons of these messages daily, even from the people I know and care about?” The fact is that the people who only twitter about these things are the most boring people on Twitter. They don’t get Twitter either. The key to getting Twitter: where the branding is right If you can get past the horrible “what are you doing?”, you’ll notice that Twitter refers to subscribers as “followers”. If you subscribe to someone else’s Twitter feed, you’re “following” them and vice-versa. Just like you subscribe to personal blogs to follow the latest thoughts and insight from your favorite people, you’ll subscribe to their Twitter feeds for the same reasons. However, with only 140 characters allowed per message, your friends’ and mentors’ bite-size thoughts will arrive faster, more often than blog posts, with more focus and will be easier to digest. In short, or as I’d say on Twitter in 140 characters: Twitter is bad for life-streaming, good for micro-blogging. Power users use it to share their messages network with people doing the same. Top 20 uses of Twitter Micro-blogging â€" every major blogger is also on Twitter. Followers often become subscribers. Sharing favorites â€" using one of the many url-shortening services such as bit.ly, it’s easy to quickly share links to blog posts, images or videos. Networking â€" as people learn about you and what you have to share, they will follow you and become part of your network. The same is true for you, and you’ll meet more and more people who share your interests. Strengthening your network â€" by networking with someone in more than one medium, you create more bonds between you. Meet on Twitter with people you know from the real world, email, forums, etc. Promotion â€" when you or better yet, someone else in your network, , messages on Facebook or IM, and so on.

You lack direction and focus and you are tired of being stuck in a job that doesn’t fit you. You are ready to find your ideal career fit. What is life like at this stage? You may be confused and frustrated at this step. You will feel like you are wasting time and jealous that other people know what they want to be when they grow up.

How to Have a More Productive Work Week

How to Have a More Productive Work Week Who doesn’t want a  4 hour work week? I think the possibility of only working 4 hours a week is probably not possible for most people but there are a lot of great things I learned my reading The Four Hour Work Week  by Timothy Ferriss.   It helped me prioritize my life and limit myself to only work on the  most important items on my to-do list. Here are some interesting questions to ponder from the book: If you had a heart attack and could only work 2 hours per day, what would be the most important thing in your day that you would take care of? If you had a gun to your head and had to stop 4/5ths of the time consuming activities, what would you remove? What are the top  3 activities that you use to fill your time so you feel like you are being productive? Do you invent more things to do and avoid the important things you have to get done? (Note: Don’t read this book in your  last week of grad school when everything you do is procrastinate  studying for finals  ?? Because I like challenges, I challenged myself to think about the top 2-3 things that I absolutely had to get done each day this week. I focused on these things  and was  actually able to complete all of them by noon instead of trying to finish them up at 5pm like I normally would do. This mini-challenge helped me really focus on getting the most important things done  before jumping into all of the other things I tend to fill my day with.   What was the outcome?   Less stress! Here are more ideas the book offers to improve your productivity. Would any of these work for you next week? Turn off your email alert and only check email twice per day (12pm and 4pm.) This allows you to focus on the priority items in your day and not get distracted by the new emails constantly coming in. Grant as much information and independent decision making to your employees as possible allowing you more free time. Give others a chance to prove themselves! Say no. If you have too much on your plate, don’t add more! Do not multitask â€" you will get less done. If you have something you have to do, do it from start to finish without any distractions. Leave work at 4pm and take Monday and Friday off so you have less time to work. This will actually make you more productive because  you wont fill your time with non-important tasks.  I might have to try this one!! ?? Have a great and productive weekend everyone!

Nanotechnology The Promising Prospects of the Science of miniature. CareerMetis.com

Nanotechnology The Promising Prospects of the Science of ‘miniature.' If you are working on something small, that doesn’t mean it can’t produce significant opportunities. In a world that mostly exists within your palms, tiny can be synonymous with convenience. That’s why nanotechnology serves as the perfect example that testifies to what ‘miniature’ technology can accomplish.Now in the case of the professionals working in the domain of nanotechnology, there is a lot of scope for discoveries and applications that are continually developing, which results in plenty of job opportunities.evalNanotechnology is an area that allows a professional to delve into the molecular level of technology. Owing to the advancement in nanotechnology, the field which holds a lot of promising prospects who are willing to explore this area.What is Nanotechnology?Nanoscience and technology are fields thatconcentrate on the objects at the nanoscale level and involves dimensions that mainly hover between 1to 100nanometers The research and applications within this area are equally distinctive, varying from the extensions of conventional device physics to entirely new approaches depending on molecular self-assembly.The Scope of NanotechNow if this area of science intrigues you, and you want to take it up as a career?Some universities offerdegrees on nanotech. But most people already working in the domain get their degrees in other branches of science like mechanical engineering, biochemistry, or physics. Simply put, multiple disciplinary paths could ultimately allow you to land a nanoscale job. It could be a beautiful blend of various disciplines.Even though it requires formal education, the experts often put more emphasis on the capacity to learn new things, technical curiosity and being uninhibited to venture into areas of which you have little understanding.evalEffective communications skills are also valued, and also owing to the interdisciplinary nature of nanoscale work; it’s imperative that people working in this field are efficient at co mmunicating with others regarding a wide range of fields and understand their often-divergent objectives and terminologies.Another vital skill required to prosper in this domain is the experience with operating the equipment used in nanotechnology.Experts also state that people pursuing this domain must have a clear understanding of clean-room technology. The very same tech applied in the semiconductor industry. Issues related to safe handling and contamination are the same in nanotech as they are in semiconductors.The number of research conducted with nanomaterials is steadily growing. These researches are focusing on different kinds of new nano properties, for applications that range between catalysts to energy conversion.This inevitably requires an increasingly skilled workforce who would be comfortable in dealing with issues such as nanofabrication quality control.Developing the Tools to Propel the Research On NanotechnologyAnother flourishing area for professionals to explore i s the development of tools that enable nanoscale research. Now more than ever organizations need help to leverage nanoscale properties and discoveries.Some organizations produce electron microscopes and other related devices. Such organizations are focused on building nanoscale devices with nanometer accuracy.Developing these devices need an interdisciplinary team. It will likely consist of professionals from metallurgy, mechanical engineering, software, and materials science. They need all hands on deck to operate the machines and utilizing the data they gather.Working at the nanoscale allows the professionals to measure things previously incalculable, as such, the new devices will be vital for the development of science and its commercialization.evalBut the knowledge of how to adopt nanodevices is still quite shallow. Experts suggest that students acquire as much experience with fabrication and measuring equipment as it’s possible, be it through working on research projects, ass isting in their professors’ labs, or through various internships.Students should gather hands-on experience with fabrication and measuring equipment at an early stage in the career. Having this skill means you alone on a team may understand how to handle this.According to the assignment writers, many universities and organizations presently don’t have the skills they require to eliminate all their issues associated with nanotechnology.Job Prospects in the Domain of NanotechnologySince nanoscience is a unique area that ideally comprises many spheres, it is creating a variety of job prospects. Students specializing in chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, and technology are all wanted.The career prospects in the domains of Nanoscale science and technology are becoming more widespread. More than that, they are beginning to have a far-reaching impact on many aspects of our lives.evalA professional in the area of nanotechnology can easily find a promising career opportunity in di fferent sectors. They can work in the field of bioinformatics, nano-medicine, and pharmaceutical companies.Let’s not forget fields like stem cell development, nanotoxicology, and nano power generating sectors.Some of the applications of nanotechnology exist in areas like pharmaceuticals and medical practice. There are also uses in magnetics and optoelectronics, information technology, electronics, energy chemicals, advanced materials, and textiles.Nanotechnology has a myriad of applications. One case is drug delivery to treat a cancer tumor without offering chemotherapy and radiotherapy.There’s also solar energy, display technologies, batteries, semiconductor devices, biosensors, luminous paints, and many others. Now, what is necessary for this technology is a new generation of trained professionals.A plethora of job opportunities are waiting for candidates with M.Tech in Nanotechnology in different parts of the world. Prominent universities around the globe offer Ph.D. in Nanot echnology, which will also open up opportunities in the Research Development sectors.In conclusion, we can safely say that nanotechnology has a lot of promise. Both for professionals willing to delve into this area, and for the world at large.
