Google’s newest offering, Google Buzz, which was launched recently, has managed to attract a lot of negative attention to itself. The service was supposed to be a platform for social networking where people could share their status updates, social media streams and multimedia content via Gmail. The initial launch even had some saying that it was the next biggest thing in social media probably because “Google” had launched this application. Google, however, has learnt the hard way that it is not above making errors of judgment.

Like most of Google’s other web applications, Google Buzz was automatically rolled out to its 176 million Gmail users. Google Buzz gave all its users automatic permission to view status updates of all contacts in their Gmail list. Users were offended, feeling that their privacy had been violated. Despite a public apology by Google, a leading US privacy group has even requested for regulators to examine if Buzz violates consumer protection laws. Electronic Privacy Information Centre (Epic) has demanded that the FTC ban Google from using Gmail address books to create networking lists. They have also demanded that Google display an appropriate notice which requests for the users consent before any changes can be made to their account, or to the company’s privacy policy which directly affects users.

Analysts claim that Google’s launch of Buzz was not well thought out or well-planned. Facebook had violated consumer rights by changing their privacy settings without informing their customers. This incident had happened just last year and it would have been better for Google if it would have learnt from Facebook’s mistake.

Standing out at a Career Faire can make a difference in your job hunting. Career Faires are starting to pick up, and Dice is running some nice ones, called Targeted Job Fairs. At a Silicon Valley Job Fair in January, 10 companies as showing up, and Dice has 82 career faires scheduled for 2010 across the States.

How do you stand out at a Career Fair? The rivalry can be significant, but you can help yourself stick out from the crowd with advance planning. At AA-Careers, we have a straight-forward six-step process to prepare. Planning to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, research the organizations that are going and pick your targets. Use the internet to check out the companies that are there ahead of time. Go to their sites and see if they have their jobs listed. Pick a limited number to go after, and get ready to spend an hour researching each one. It’s hard to do more than 8 in a day, and 3-5 is a much more reasonable target. For each hiring organization, you want to know: recent news, key product lines, and contacts you know. Try to see if you know anyone at the target companies. You will end up with with a page or two of research for each company/job.

Second, if there are job openings on the web, read them to see what the hiring department is looking for. Create a mapping of your accomplishments and skills to the requirements of the job. Make the language match. If the hiring organization calls customers "clients", your resume should do the same thing. The accomplishments should be written in the style of the hiring organization.

Third, create a ‘brief sales pitch’ for each likely organization/position combination. Write down a 90 second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat verbally depicting why you are a great prospect for that position. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet people at the job booth.

Fourth, modify your resume for each position. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re going after. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the accomplishments and skills that most clearly match the job requirements. Especially at a Job Fair, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be quick to see that you’re a match based on your resume.

Fifth, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress well and be well groomed. Don’t over do-it (this isn’t a date!) and don’t underdress (no jeans or t-shirts, no matter how much you paid for them). Avoid strong cologne or perfume.

Finally, practice your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each opportunity - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a distinctly labeled folder. Keep them in a lightweight briefcase or folio.

Remember to smile, and good hunting!

At a SF Bay Area Job Faire in early 2010, 10 companies as showing up, and a major job search company has 82 job faires scheduled for 2010 across the States.

How do you get to the real interviews at a Career Fair? The rivalry can be significant, but you can help yourself surpass from the herd with advance homework. At AA-Careers, we have a simple step-by-step process to prepare. Plan to go? Here’s how to prepare:

First, research the companies that are going and pick your objectives. Use the World Wide Web to check out the organizations that are there ahead of time.

Third, create a ‘brief sales pitch’ for each likely organization/position combination. Write down a ninety second ‘thumbnail’ that you can repeat out loud showing why you are a fantastic prospect for that job. You’ll use this in your resume and when you meet the company at the job kiosk.

Fourth, modify your resume for each position. The objective on your resume should exactly match the position you’re want. The executive summary should be a written form of your “mini sales pitch” for the job. Then choose the achievements and skills that most clearly match the job prerequisites. Especially at a Career Fair, the purpose of your resume is a sales tool for you – to get you on-site job interviews. It should be very easy to see that you’re a fit based on your resume.

Fifth, dress and prepare as if you’re doing on-site interviews. Dress well and be well groomed. Don’t over do-it (this isn’t a date!) and don’t underdress (no jeans or t-shirts, no matter how much you paid for them). Avoid strong cologne or perfume.

Finally, rehearse your ‘mini-sales-pitch’. Collect your research and the resume for each spot - bring a couple of copies for each – and put each in a understandably marked folder. Keep them in a light briefcase or folio.

The coming general elections can have a serious impact on the fate of the next-generation broadband in the UK. According to the Broadband Stakeholders’ Group (BSG), plans of the next generation roll out might take a back seat if the Conservative party comes into power.

One of biggest dangers brought by the imminent elections and a total uncertainly of the results is that the smaller investors might be unwilling to invest in the broadband market for the time being at least.

The Conservative and the Labour parties have quite dissimilar opinions with respect to the broadband policy in the country. While the Labour party is determined to bring broadband access to every household in the country by 2012, Conservatives have clarified their stance on this and said that broadband is not their priority.

Talking at one of the Westminster forums, the chief executive of the Broadband Stakeholder Group, Anthony Walker, highlighted the differences between the broadband policies of Labour and Conservative parties. He said that the industry would need different roadmaps for broadband depending upon the party that comes to power. He named the Labour approach ‘nuts and bolts’, as it is an industrial activism approach and one that enables the market to predict the problems.

However, on the other hand, the Conservatives would look at the market forces and watch out for new entries and their performance in the market, leading to increase in their value as well as in market productivity.

Walker also pointed out that in the worst-case scenario, the roll out of broadband might be stalled if the country has a hung parliament. For the most up-to-date information on broadband, the Broadband Genie comparative table of broadband prices for users provides all details regarding the latest broadband offers and services on broadband available in the market, right from cheap broadband to fastest broadband.

The new legislation proposed by the British government in order to curb piracy has not been well received by internet service providers. Recently, Business Secretary Lord Mandelson said that the government would introduce a law by 2010 that would help in curtailing net piracy. However, if this legislation is found to be insufficient, then by 2011, it will enact a stricter law.

The government intends to first start with imposing download restrictions and curtailing bandwidth when a case of piracy is detected. However, if the pirates do not stop after this, the next measure would be to cut the network connection itself. According to Lord Mandelson, this will only be done if nothing else works, and before this ultimate measure the pirates will be given two notifications so that they get time to mend their ways.

In fact, even after the connection has been cut, the pirates can appeal against the measure. The cost of implementing the law shall be borne by the content builders and the internet service providers.

Further, Ofcom has been requested by the government to keep a closer eye on the rate of piracy in the country.

Internet service providers are unhappy with these measures and are ready to move court and challenge the validity of the laws if they are brought into force.

For most of us there are always a number of points to consider when choosing what broadband is best for you. If you choose to look for broadband deals through Broadband Genie, you’ll be given all the information you need about every supplier on their comparative table of UK broadband providers.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has strongly criticised BSkyB for its unfavourable remarks against broadband speeds of its competitors Virgin Media and BT thorough a recent press ad.

BSkyB had made a claim in its press ad that it never slows down broadband speeds at peak times like its competitors BT and Virgin Media do.

The ASA, responding to and supporting the complaints made against BSkyB by BT and a member of the public, countered BSkyB’s negative publicity on the premise that slower speeds enforced during peak times do not affect all users but only the most active ones. BSkyB then countered the ASA by declaring that all the users of Virgin Media and BT would be affected by the fair use of their traffic management policies.

The ASA has however agreed that both BT and Virgin Broadband have been implementing such policies to strangle speeds, but that slow speeds affected only those users who download large files extensively during peak hours, and not other users who work with low bandwidths. The BSkyB ad claimed that all users suffer from speed restrictions.

The ASA has banned the controversial advertisement from publishing on the grounds of infringing guidelines on honesty and making deceptive allegations against competitors.

For information on your ISP and corresponding broadband speed, try using the broadband check from Broadband Genie to get a snapshot of your current download and upload speeds. It’s a good site for broadband news and consumer reviews of the top internet service providers such as Virgin Media Broadband and BT Broadband.

VoIP is turning out to be the technological innovation of the century. VoIP is registering over 100% growth annually and the chief patrons as of now seem to be businesses because with the ‘PROPER’ application of VoIP they are able to cut down their operating costs by almost 40%. The key word here is ‘PROPER’. This article will shed some light on the factors which play a vital role in the successful implementation of VoIP as a business tool.

To make a successful transition onto VoIP you should:

• Not discard your existing system altogether, but build up a hybrid system which combines both VoIP & PSTN as there are quite a few rough edges still existing in the domain of inter-operability between the existing system and VoIP.

• Do a proper survey of all the VoIP service providers and ask about their service quality with special emphasis on the type of algorithms they employ because the voice quality depends to a very large extent on the algorithms. Also get to know about their ASR (answer seizure ratio) it is a measure of the number of calls properly terminated, that’s why it can give you an insight into the quality of the routes the service provider uses, so a good ASR would mean that the VoIP service provider is offering quality services.

• Look for players who have expertise in various applications of VoIP like video conferencing, toll free numbers, DID( direct inward dialing number), calling cards because if the VoIP service provider is able to handle applications of various hues that would mean that the system used is stable and that he has an all encompassing expertise of VoIP.

• Make sure to ask about customer support services, as initially you would need a great deal of expert help to get your VoIP bandwagon rolling.

As with anything new, a proper approach can guarantee that you reach the objectives you had set out for and in the case of VoIP it’s even truer. Follow these rules and the transition of your business onto VoIP would surely be easy.
