Here are a few readings for today! :
“Pardeep Kullar and Steven Lai came up with the idea of Likeourselves.com in November last year, and it has taken five full-timers to get the site off the ground since then. What they’ve built, and what launched on Friday, is a site that offers customisable location-based social networks that anyone can set up. That’s a bold idea, but can it work?”
“Not only is it possible to use YouTube to get a job, but it’s becoming a more popular option, especially for the current crop of would-be-employees that grew up with web video. Some argue that video is a more personal tool for job searching, acting as a digital interview, while others see it as cold and alienating, as it lacks the face-to-face element. But YouTube isn’t just about video resumes — there are a variety of creative ways to hop online and get hired.”
“Facebook? They oughta call it brace-yourself-and-hope-for-the-best book. Security issues seem to crop up daily on social-networking heavyweight Facebook. From questionable “friends” and applications that leak information to the presence of outright crooks, social-networking sites seem like a dangerous swamp. Don’t let them suck the fun from your social-networking experience. With the right precautions, you can still have a good time, and stay safe.”
