Are You In The Blogosphere?
Thursday, November 24th, 2011Blogosphere is the collection of all blogs on the
Internet. There are more than 172 million blogs in the blogosphere. Bloggers create more than 1 million new posts in the blogosphere every day. With the Internet dominating the world in the recent past, demand for creative writers has grown tremendously. QBurst has a solid group of creative writers who contribute to various blogs. In this post, we plan to analyze the career of blogging.
Blogging as a Career:
By using the term ‘blogging’, we do not point to one blog/website built in Blogspot or WordPress. We rather put the focus on the writer and his articles in various websites. The writer or blogger may have his own website but does not limit to contributing to his website alone. There are 20 million people in the U.S. who have blogging as a career. Guy Kawasaki is a known blogger. He writes for many websites. A collection of his articles for American Express Open forum can be found here.

Competitive Intelligence
Thursday, January 6th, 2011What is Competitive Intelligence?
Working as a Competitive Intelligence analyst, I am able to see Competitive Intelligence as an important organ in the business body. Wikipedia defines CI as ‘The action of defining, gathering, analyzing, and distributing intelligence about products, customers, competitors and any aspect of the environment needed to support executives and managers in making strategic decisions for an organization.’ Competitive Intelligence reports are mainly prepared for a product that a company might be offering. Not restricted to this, there are market reports, company profile analyses and many others that a CI Analyst prepares for his company. Few product reports focused on web products that support senior level management are listed. (more…)

Outsourcing 2.0
Friday, July 2nd, 2010‘A Blessing in disguise’ – This is exactly what the IT/ITeS industry has to say about the recent recession. The 2008-2009 recession, followed by the collapse of the financial services bellwether, Lehman Brothers, has transformed the total dynamics of the industry. New business models evolved as customers squeezed their IT spend and demanded more work. They were perhaps right; the credit crunch had hit hard on their businesses and they were left with no choices apart from shoe-string budgets for IT-ITES needs. Vendors or outsourcing providers also responded in a similar fashion. But, the employees felt the heat most. Salaries were reduced, lot of employees were laid off and company budgets were reduced across the globe. By adopting such life-saving measures, most businesses were able to withstand the pressure. However, life hasn’t been the same ever since.

Thursday, May 13th, 2010Do you wish to answer an incoming SMS, complete taking a friend’s picture, chat with your boss, answer a call, and then go back to keep playing a game, just where you left it before switching to any of those tasks? If you think this “resume” ability (or in iPhone lingo – “multitasking and fast app switching”) makes an OS golden, you will be happy to know that Apple is definitely going in the right direction. The iPhone 4.0 is almost here.
So, what makes iPhone 4.0 superior?
