The micro jobbing sites allow freelancers to post jobs or ‘gigs’ for as little as $5, giving them the option to charge as much as $100 for tasks they can carry out from home.
Freelancers signing up for micro jobbing websites like famousgigs.com are offering a vast varieties of services like creating banners, advertising products and websites, social media marketing with Twitter and Facebook, transcribing audio and video files, creating mobile applications, writing articles, and so on. FamousGigs allows freelancers to set their prices and sell their services to anyone interested. It is a new website which is following the Fiverr revolution and it’s growing fast, moving towards being yet another success story.
The good thing is you can get jobs which are normally time consuming to do, such as creating several hundreds of backlinks for your website or carrying out search engine optimization, for as less as $5! Of all the gigs listed on this website, the most popular ones are providing social media marketing through the top social media websites: getting more followers on Twitter; getting more Facebook likes; getting more views on your YouTube video, etc. and with tasks that promise to increase the traffic to your website, its popularity is growing fast.
The most interesting gig I’ve seen so far on famousgigs.com is a freelancer willing to sell to the buyers an opportunity to expand their dropbox accounts to up to 18GB….now this is really worth the $5, isn’t it? Head on to famousgigs.com and see what else is being offered at dirt cheap prices! 🙂

It is not very frequently that we go out to purchase a laptop and hence when buying one we have to ensure that we get the correct kind, with the required specifications, and at the most reasonable prices. However, with so many websites and stores struggling to sell their stocks of laptops, it can be quite a confusing process to choose the best laptop, one that is most suitable for your requirements. It can be difficult to decide where to buy the laptop from, which ones are the best for different purposes such as the best laptop for gaming, internet surfing, one to take to college or university, and so on.
But do not despair as there is now new tools available that will help you choose the best laptop. With the features available on suggesters.org, you can now search for laptops based on their specifications. The website tool also allows you to sort the results, view the specifications, compare different laptops and rate them according to your likings. With this tool you’ll be able to conveniently choose the best laptop for your needs. Hence keep tuned to this website and you’ll find it extremely useful to buy your next laptop.

You have to agree that enterprises nowadays are so technology-oriented that most of their operations are dependent on systems. System failures can not only cause loss of valuable time and efforts but when the systems fail at the wrong time, it can cost companies both money and customers. This is the reason there is an increasing trend in the number of organizations who are focused only at providing IT support services. There is a significantly huge market for this kind of work and there are many players as well – and they know that they all play vital roles. Considering this then, what factors would make it easier for companies to decide which is the best IT support service provider?
IT service companies provide a range of support models, from backup and data recovery plans to helpdesk support. Some go deeper into offering support for specific applications used in an organization. Others provide server solutions. But that does not mean you have to hire different IT support service organizations to carry out these different tasks! That would just be ridiculous! Actually there are many providers who serve in many ways, for instance TSG (Technology Service Group) goes to the next level whereby they claim to not only provide IT support, but they bring themselves forward in ensuring that your organization will not experience any functional problems if they’re in the lead.
Like I mentioned that IT support should be provided in various fields as opposed to just one or two services they provide, TSG literally diversifies in four major domains: Microsoft SharePoint, Support in Sage Software, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, CRM Software, amongst others. Without a doubt these IT infrastructures are different and have totally different functionalities; however TSG is able to tap into these and provide credible enterprise solutions at a global level.
There might be other companies out there too, if you’ve had any experience in using IT Support Services then please comments and tell us about your experiences. Which company has worked well for you? Which one were you disappointed with?
Do have a fruitful week!

Hey everyone! Hope you’ve had a great weekend! This is sort of a follow-up post from the previous one where the discussion is about technology in products other than the computers and the endless stream of web marvels. The latest home theater systems are one to appreciate in this day and age as they are crowned with features that will take your breath away! Imagine using your smart phone as remote control and or being able to connect to the Internet right from your TV set to access the latest movies, music videos and much more!
Sony Bravia HX820 offers just that! It has a monolithic design with integrated Wi-Fi and Skype’s Video Call functionality installed. Sony has also introduced an X-Reality PRO system which optimized video quality by compressing HD signals. This one is available in both 46 and 55 inch sets.
On the other hand, competing with Sony, Panasonic also has its VIERA GT30 model which features a flush design with full HD 3D. The VIERA also has capabilities to connect to the Internet with a built-in Wi-Fi. Panasonic uses cloud-based systems that allow viewers to download HD content directly to their home theaters via the Internet.
Amazing, isn’t it? ‘Smart’ TVs are in demand at the moment and such companies are making them affordable for anyone to own one! There’s a website that you can subscribe with to get all the home theater news, do check it out!

Facebook-like Application for Enterprises: A great move from Web 2.0 to Enterprise 2.0
Posted on: April 20, 2011
Everyone knows and feels the impact of Facebook on our social lives. Facebook is the application that majority of us like spending our time on, work put aside. With millions of users able to communicate and share information with each other in real time, our love for Facebook cannot be denied. However we’re not here to talk about Facebook today, but like the title of this blog suggests: An interactive and collaborative environment for the benefit of organizations around the world, regardless of the size of the company in relation to the number of employees, or the type of organization. It is a fact that collaboration and communication are the number one key factors to make an organization successful. Without the link between different departments and employees from different levels of the hierarchy, imagine how difficult it can be to coordinate one small project and to get everyone working towards the same goal!
So today’s website in focus is Socialcast: An enterprise application that brings together the features and user-friendly appearance of Facebook and the microblogging trends of Twitter, put together to form the ideal solution for organizations to use to enhance collaboration between executives and employees. Business social networking is like a fun way to do work that can otherwise be boring. I have witnessed many employees accessing facebook in their working hours – Socialcast brings an application equally fun to use and most of all, it can be configured to the required work environment. The different features of the package allow organizations to enhance communication within and outside the organization, in different ways: Sharing of files, engaging in real-time, online discussions and the connection to the organization’s CRM system also gives back a competitive advantage.
Enterprise 2.0 Applications are the new ‘buzzwords’ in the IT and Business sectors and Socialcast is a really good example of how technology has been integrated in the organizational field. With Socialcast, the impact of collaboration can also be measured using their Social Business Intelligence Analytics tool. And for people on the move, their organizational networks can be accessed through their smartphones as well.
I reckon that at the rate of which the development of technology is catching up with other aspects of our lives, very soon we’ll all be living lives that revolve around our iPhones and Blackberries (some of us are already there..)! Lol..
Please feel free to leave comments of any other platforms you’ve come across that integrate IT with Business to provide organizational benefits.
Have a motivated day! 🙂

Cloud Computing: The New Buzzword!
Posted on: April 10, 2011
A new type of Internet Technology that uses remote servers to control and maintain data and applications, Cloud Computing allows individuals and organizations to access their files, use remotely installed applications and work from any computer that’s connected to the Internet. Cloud Computing is a form of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). In simple words, it’s where applications are hosted on remote servers and provided to their clients as a service. It eliminates the need of installing and running software on the clients’ computers, hence saving them the costs of buying and renewing software licenses.
Cloud Computing opens up many opportunities for businesses as it brings down their costs in investing in software and maintenance of programs and storage facilities. The list of services provided on a ‘Cloud’ is everlasting and businesses are taking advantage of the scalability benefits they get from Cloud Computing. The most popular service provided to businesses through Cloud Computing is Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems. It’s the rule of any business: if the customers are satisfied, then the business is rewarded. Cloud Computing provides a means of streamlining business processes and allowing employees to be more productive and efficient at their work.
There is a website I stumbled upon while doing some brief research on Cloud Computing: it has so much information on how businesses are taking advantage of this technology and what other services are provided on a ‘Cloud’. If you’re looking forward to implementing cloud computing, all the best! Hope you all find the technology very useful!!
