November 08, 2015 Sarah Snow Myths about Facebook appear, maybe most often, in your Facebook news feed. You know what I’m talking about: “Facebook is going to sell your photos!” “You can check out whenever you like, but you can never leave!” “The sky is falling!” Mihir Patkar recently published a list of debunked Facebook myths on Make Use Of.  And it is super helpful. Many of the stories going around about Facebook are completely wrong. And we’re going to let you know why. Myth #1: People Can See Who Viewed Their Profile I can see why this might be scary. Can your high school boyfriend see that you’ve checked his profile everyday this week? It would be embarrassing if he could. Also, you can see who checked your profile on LinkedIn. But no can see who checked their Facebook profile. Facebook itself has put out a disclaimer. “No, Facebook doesn’t let people track who views their profile. Third-party apps also can’t provide this functionality.” “This is one of those legends th

Marketers are spending more on—and generating more revenues from—their data-driven marketing efforts, according to a survey conducted in July 2015.  The  Direct Marketing Association (DMA)  found that revenues generated by data-driven marketing grew for 45.7% of US marketers between Q1 and Q2 2015, with 9.0% saying they grew significantly. What’s more, respondents thought data-driven marketing would be even better for revenues in the future. When the DMA asked about expected changes in such revenues between Q2 and Q3, a majority of respondents (54.3%) said their organization’s revenues from data-driven marketing would go up. The share expecting significant increases also rose, to 11.0%.. Meanwhile, while significant shares of marketers expect no change in such revenues, the share who are projecting decreases fell from 9.6% in Q2 to 4.7% in Q3. Spending on data-driven marketing is also increasing quarter over quarter—and those increases are becoming more likely, too. While

By: Mohammadreza Rostami Rad, October 2015 Recently I have read two articles which explore some interesting information regarding online activities, digital world and sharing and producing knowledge from different point of views. First article The first article is “Digital overloaded – seduced by distraction”. Its title simply shows the main idea of this paper. The writer reviewed different items and tries to have a depth looking to reason of distraction and its related subjects. Errin Anderssen  believes “in the information overloaded world, everybody is trying to grab our attention” and we, ourselves aren’t aware of this valuable asset. Facing with different titles and bombarding by information which are increasing by new technologies and companies simply resulted being distracted. It means something is happening, everybody is trying to grab our attention and also they are worried about our distraction! Distraction, one of the unknown routines, most of times, we start f

Sometimes, I wondered if I use this amount of data which I have been receiving during days, then who will be then, and quickly the answer shows up: "nobody"!

BY ILAN MOCHARI   Senior writer, Inc. What should great leaders do at their jobs every day? That basic question--asked by a manager at Barry-Wehmiller (B-W), a $2 billion capital equipment and engineering consulting company based in St. Louis--inspired longtime CEO Bob Chapman and his executive team to create a checklist that literally told managers how to spend their time.  B-W's culture has been praised by purpose-based leadership guru Simon Sinek for its high level of trust between managers and employees. Documents like the checklist and B-W's  "Guiding Principles of Leadership"  have helped to cultivate that trust. In a new book,  Everybody Matters: The Extraordinary Power of Caring for Your People Like Family , due out October 6, Chapman and Raj Sisodia, professor at Babson College and author of   Conscious Capitalism ,  share the checklist in full.  Fans of checklists will be delighted to find that B-W's hews to the principles At

This question was one of the questions which was negotiated during the last session. I tried to figure out why?  My answer in the class didn't consider I thought "Because Canadians are more educated than the other countries" and I translated this explanation to "I mean they have learned that with this toll they can reach to the more and fast information and they can handle their life much easier with this resources." I surfed the web and I found below information: New report from CIRA looks at the Internet and Canada’s place in it # Canadians rank first in the world when it comes to Internet usage, spending an average of 45 hours per month online. Despite this fact, Canadians still spend more for broadband speed than 19 other countries. These illuminating facts, and more, are included in a new resource from the Canadian Internet Registration Authority (CIRA) released today. The 2013.CA Factbook is a compendium of facts and research about the global domain

Yesterday was my first attendance at the class as a student after almost 6 years. During last 2 years which I have been living in Canada I haven't the same chance and I am really glad for that. The first thing which made me up in this class was the instructor's manner in teaching, how he was passionate to be at class and tell us his stories. As a person who has some experience in being at class as a teacher, it was really interesting to me. The second one, was how he chose the topics and how he kept the track of different subjects and how he integrated them together like a good shape. The third one, I have some challenges with some of his contents the same as adding People as the 5th P to the 4Ps theory, or the reason of being the number one in the list of internet users in the world, and something else. But, the main thing is that more or less I found her class useful and valuable. Hopefully I can be good student ;-)

By  Allison Master Sep 23 2015 Imagine a computer programmer. What does this person look like? What is this person doing? Is the person with anyone? What kinds of hobbies might he or she have? Chances are  that you imagined someone who is: male, white or Asian American, kind of geeky-looking and sitting alone at a computer. This typifies the stereotypical image of computer science in American culture. And this image  has only solidified over the past 30 years: so much so that high school girls  say things like : when I heard “computer science,” I pictured nerdy boys, who turned into nerdy bearded men, slouched over huge computers and click-clacking out codes that meant nothing to me. The real problem is that this geeky representation may prevent girls from seriously considering a career in computer science. As it is, women are highly underrepresented in computer science. In recent years, only  18% of college degrees have gone to women. I am part of an interdisciplin

July 2015 | byKarel Dörner and David Edelman   Everyone wants to go digital. The first step is truly understanding what that is. Companies today are rushing headlong to become more digital. But what does digital really mean? For some executives, it’s about technology. For others, digital is a new way of engaging with customers. And for others still, it represents an entirely new way of doing business. None of these definitions is necessarily incorrect. But such diverse perspectives often trip up leadership teams because they reflect a lack of alignment and common vision about where the business needs to go. This often results in piecemeal initiatives or misguided efforts that lead to missed opportunities, sluggish performance, or false starts. Even as CEOs push forward with their digital agendas, it’s worth pausing to clarify vocabulary and sharpen language. Business leaders must have a clear and common understanding of exactly what digital means to them and, as a r
