Work For Americans - 4 ways to flaunt your brand's social media attitude

Work For Americans - 4 ways to flaunt your brand's social media attitude

Every enterprise has its own unique personality. When it comes to social strategies, this personality shines through loud and clear. Just as we learn to identify and embrace our individual personalities, we must also recognize that no two organizations are exactly alike. Which stands to reason, then, that enterprise social media is not a one-size-fits-all proposition. When it comes to social strategy, there is no universal formula or magic bullet when it comes to driving ROI.

I find this to be a major source of contention with the brands I consult. They've read an article or they've consulted with an "expert," and they've learned all about what they should be doing. But winning internal executive support proves to be daunting, and attempts to sell the concept typically end at a brick wall. Is this because executives just don't get it? To the contrary, it's because in most cases, they're trying to turn the enterprise into something it's not.
Stay informed. To hear more about the latest in social media brand strategies, attend the iMedia Brand Summit, Feb. 7-10. Request your invitation to the iMedia Brand Summit.

To be successful, a brand's social strategies must complement its personality -- not compete against it. The most successful social media initiatives occur when the strategy is aligned with the core values and personality of the brand itself. We don't ask a wallflower to be the life of the party, nor do we expect a social butterfly to thrive without wings. Whether your enterprise is the thrill-seeker or the strong and silent type, this article is intended to provide both the inspiration and the tools needed to start driving value through your social strategies, in ways that are genuine, realistic, and attainable.

Discover your brand's social personality, along with the keys to unlocking the potential within.

Linux: Definition

Linux: Definition and additional resources from ZDNet
Linux, is a multitasking, multiuser operating system that is know for its stability.
A very popular open source operating system that runs on a variety of hardware platforms including x86, Itanium, PowerPC, ARM and IBM's entire product line.
Based on many design principles used in the Unix operating system, and thereby often called a "Unix clone" or "Unix variant," Linux is widely deployed as a server OS and as an embedded OS.
For example, Linux runs in most of the servers on the Internet and in countless appliances and consumer electronics devices (see embedded Linux).
In the desktop market, Linux has nowhere near the same penetration; however, it gains ground slowly and steadily.

World Air Traffic 24 Hour Period

http://www.youtube.com/user/mlepisto

The yellow dots are aircraft.

It is a 24 hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the
world, condensed down to about 2 minutes. You can tell it was summer
time in the north by the sun's footprint over the planet. You could see
that it didn't quite set in the extreme north and it didn't quite rise in
the extreme south.

Notice that as evening approaches, the traffic is predominantly from the US
to Europe and when daylight comes, the traffic switches and it
is predominantly from Europe to the US.

In addition to being able to create new virtual machines, Player 3.0 also lets users edit the virtual machine settings, supports Microsoft Windows 7 as a guest and host platform, and provides a new virtual machine library interface.

Other new features found in VMware Player 3.0 include:

* Aero support for Windows 7 and Windows Vista guests
* OpenGL support for Windows guests
* Automatic download and installation of the latest VMware Tools package
* Multiple monitor support
* Print from your VM without installing printer drivers, thanks to a deal with ThinPrint
* ALSA Sound support on Linux hosts
* Added VIX API support so that developers write applications that can interact with their VMs

1. To Install Vmware player 3.0 download it from http://downloads.vmware.com/d/info/de...

2. Navigate to where the .bundle VMWare file is, then type this in:

musa@lanx1~$ sudo sh VMware-Player-3.0.0-203739.i386.bundle

And that's it! Enjoy your VMWare Player installation!
