Business Interview Test
2008-05-09 13:24:00 This one is a classic "Giraffe Test ", reportly done by Anderson Consulting. The rumor is they said around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong. But many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting reportedly said this conclusively disproves the theory that most professionals have the brains of a four year old. So How do you put a giraffe in the fridge? Read More... More About: Business , Interview

What ever became of the CB Radio?
2008-05-06 14:15:00 In this weeks podlet, I talk about the old CB Radio . Perhaps you've had one of these yourself? We used to have one setup at our house, but there was never anything interesting on the channels. Back in the day, it was fun to just open a channel and chat about whatever you wanted on the citizens band. Of course now with the internet, we live in a much different world, but CB Radio died out long before the internet, what caused this? Will this happen to user generated online content someday as well? Hmm... Read More...

A simple Mistake
2008-05-05 13:51:00 We all make little mistakes, but sometimes the smallest of these can cost big money. Today's quiz is about a very small mistake that resulted in millions of dollars. Try the quiz - then reflect on your daily mistakes and the repercussions they may have. A new ship had just been constructed, and everything had pretty much gone to plan. However, near the end of the production, someone spotted that one of the lettters on the small sign displaying the ship's name had been put on back to front. As a result, tens of millins of US dollars had to be spent to correct the error. Today's brain warm up... How could such a small mistake cost so much money? Read More... More About: Simple

BWebCentral Donation Database
2008-05-04 13:53:00 Sometimes I get up to 50 calls a day from various charities all hoping a could spare a few bucks. While I am a big believer in giving, it can be hard to donate 'on the spot'. There are so many worthwhile organizations, how can I keep track of them all and afford to support them all? So I created the donation database to help. A simple list of organizations that I can visit on a frequent basis and give - on my own time in the comfort of my own home - online. Anyone can add their favorite cause to my database, and anyone can visit it follow the links and Please Give and help make our world a better place. I have been waiting to finish this project for some time. I have finally released my first beta version of the donation database. Read More... More About: Database , Donation

Closing the Gap in web advertising
2008-05-01 12:12:00 In internet affiliate marketing, there are many options to choose from and many types of programs. Undoubtedly the most well known of these programs is known as pay per click. (PPC) PPC advertising, however struggles with a major problem. Click fraud. Unscrupulous individuals who try to earn money by clicking on their own links (or asking others to do the same). Other programs are in place today to help combat this problem. Cost per Action (CPA) networks help to combat this problem for the internet marketer. Until recently, I have found there to be a large Gap between PPC and CPA networks. Where PPC networks are generally open to anyone, CPA networks generally have more strict entry requirements, and less opportunities. Enter the Clickbooth CPA Network. I have signed up for this network just recently, and have been very impressed with the service. Before, I could even register, there was a rather rigorous process to confirm my identity. As a potential advertiser this gives me ... More About: Advertising , Web Advertising

Purpose Plans and Passion
2008-04-29 13:01:00 One of the things, that prompted me to do this weeks podlet was watching my wife fold the laundry. Often times, we are presented with "mundane" tasks. Things we don't give us a lot of excitement (or any excitement) over doing. I'm not a fan of folding clothes [I would tend to just leave them washed in the laundry basket] I once asked my wife how she finds the desire to keep folding the clothes. She told me, she can see (and feel) how good it will be when all the clothes are folded and put away, and this motivates her to get it done. This was key to helping me to put this idea together, connecting our passion with our plans and purpose. Thanks for listening. Read More... More About: Passion , Plans , Purpose

Think Small
2008-04-28 13:56:00 This weeks quiz is about missing the obvious. Sometimes, we struggle to search for a solution, and stare at it over and over, and just don't understand what we are missing. Often times, you just have to turn around and walk away for a while, work on something else, try something new. Then when you come back with fresh eyes, and a new perspective, the answer seems obvious, and you think to yourself, why didn't I think of that before. Give it a try and warm up your brain. Have a good week ! Read More... More About: Small

Carrie Underwood is on Tour
2008-04-24 13:59:00 Carrie Underwood , (forth season Americon Idol Winner), is currenly tour in the United States. Now, I'm no music expert and country is not really my favorite. But none the less she does have some pretty good songs. And you have to hand it to her, after winning Grammies, Billboard and American music awards..all in one season. Well she has to be doing something right. She also has launched her own YouTube channel, which tends to give credit to exploting new media. Unfortuanly, you cannot share her videos on other sites and so far there are only a few that have been uploaded to YouTube. So I don't think it is as fully exploited here as it could be. During her tour, my understanding is she will be travelling along with Keith Urban. Now, I'm not a big fan of American Idol, as with most shows, I watched it more in the early seasons then in the latter ones. I'm getting a little tired of watching the same old routine between the judges. I don't know about you but to me, sometimes ... More About: Carrie Underwood , Tour , Carrie , On Tour
