Recently I was writting that LinkedIn is "a bit strange organisation" :)- they time to time look to hire people for some strange positions- even as TEST (not Tester or QA but Test).

See my previous article- Anybody wants to work for LinkedIn as Test?

Today I see they've still not found the resource needed- they're still looking! ;)

Everybody get scared: The King of Business Networking is now coming to EU !

I was very happy to have found tonight this announcement on the Job Board o LinkedIn Platform-

 

It was clear that the the first target in the EU for LinkedIn should be UK. But it's just the first step, we believe! Good Luck to LinkedIn, now in the EU and World-wide!

eBay is allowing a Skype competitor to embed voice icons on user Web sites. Jajah is launching a service that allows eBay users to talk directly to one another without additional hardware or software. The Jajah Buttons incur calls at Jajah's rates, which it bills free "in many cases … to other registered users or as low as 3 cents a minute to the most called places on Earth."

Bay cozied up to Jajah, its two-year-old Silicon Valley VoIP neighbor, just days after announcing it would take a $1.4 billion charge for Skype. The charge includes a $900 million write-off on the valuation of the Luxembourg-based VoIP, which eBay bought in 2005 for $2.6 billion. The charge also included a $530 million payout to Skype shareholders based on performance--less than one-third of wthe amount initially anticipated. Skype founder Niklas Zennstrom also was stood down as CEO of the company, but will stay on as chairman. eBay's chief strategy officer, Michael van Swaaij, will be in charge until a new CEO is found.

Skype's had a turbulent year, with a high-profile outage followed by a nasty worm attack. Still, with a registered user base of more than 200 million, a reorg isn't the end of the world. eBay's irrational ebullience in '05 is hardly Skype's fault. No one would know Mark Cuban's name had someone at Yahoo! not lost their mind seven years ago.

 

This is an article from FierceVoIP- the greatest ever source for the VoIP News!

Today I've seen it was working for the first time in the two years- the "feed-back 2.0" of Milan-IN! ;)

Milan-IN is a bit "different" Club- we're more OFF-LINE than On-Line, and for sure we're more Business Networking that 2.0- Networking! But at the same time we're Business Club 2.0 so we're obligated to follow some 2.0 rules, right? ;)

+ We're a strong organization with some good strategy, Org-Team, Goals, Statute, Vision, Mission, Achievements and Ambitions. So the most feed-back was previously presented to us (Marketing/ Events Team and co-founders) in the form of private talks... then we usually make A LOT of discussions via e-mail and on some restricted-access Forums (if Marketing Group, of co-founders' Group, of Operations Group).

And today it happens for the first time- plz do not smile it's true :) One of our Marketing Team leaders, Roberto Mastropasqua, asked on his Blog, what do the Club Members think about the last self-presentation Event of Milan-IN. And the reply did not make us to wait too long- the "new acquisition" of Milan-IN Renato Gelforte is always on-line and ready to 2.0 discussions :lol: (2.0 in this context=Generated by Members+ Open to public).

Well, I wish to Milan-IN to save it's strong OFF-LINE orientation, the original goal of us, the why we were born 2.5 years ago! but at the same time, being probably the unique "2.0 person" in the co-founders lounge, I am REALLY happy that Milan-IN becomes also an on-line community.

Long Life to Milan-IN and to its Members! ;)

Lunedì 22 Ottobre 2007, Paola De Vecchi si presenta ai soci del Milan IN. 

Quando la tecnologia è donna.

Lunedì sera incontreremo Paola De Vecchi, Programme Manager per Connexia srl – B.U. del Gruppo Visiant SpA, società italiana leader nella comunicazione digitale innovativa (con soluzioni IP-TV, WebTV e servizi ISP).

Laureata in Scienze dell’informazione, Paola si occupa da anni di Business Process Re-engineering, di New Product Design&Development, di ICT & SAP Project Management, di ICT Outsourcing, di Knowledge Management e Change Management. E ovviamente mastica perfettamente l’inglese e l’Information technology.
 
Da quasi due anni si occupa di supportare l'area marketing e vendita nella definizione di costing e pricing di progetti speciali (consulenza, formazione, sviluppo nuovi prodotti) e di gestire progetti di elevata complessità, sia in fase di sviluppo che in fase di valutazione e acquisizione.

Ha un compagno che la sopporta nel quotidiano – perché accanto ad una grande donna c’è sempre un grande uomo - una gatta (Lametta) con cui fa esercizi di lotta greco-romana, adora cucinare, ha sperimentato quasi tutti gli sport acquatici ed è in grado di fare miracoli in giardino con il suo pollice verde.

Di questo e delle sue precedenti esperienze professionali ci parlerà lei personalmente, in oltre 15 anni di carriera nel mondo della tecnologia e dell’informatica. Perché, fondamentalmente, anche il mondo della tecnologia è tinto di rosa.

Seguirà poi un breve dibattito sui temi proposti.

Attivate il vostro cellulare! Durante la serata potrete acquisire sul vs cellulare, via bluetooth, contenuti multimediali riguardanti la serata e MilanIn.

Ti aspettiamo a partire dalle 20.30 presso la Sala Party del Pacino Cafè in Milano, Piazzale Bacone n.9.

Attenzione! Il numero dei posti della sala è limitato.

Per partecipare all’evento, occorre confermare la propria presenza inviando una mail all’indirizzo eventi@milanin.com, specificando il nome e il cognome e il numero dei partecipanti.

La serata non avrà alcun costo, tranne quello della prima consumazione obbligatoria - di 12 EURO – di cui 10 euro andranno interamente al locale che ci ospita, la restante parte al Club.

Ricordati che tutti possiamo presentarci.
Se desideri farlo è sufficiente comunicarlo a mezzo email a Silvia Lenich, silvia.lenich(AT)MilanIN.com. Oppure puoi utilizzare il servizio di Messenger del sito Milan IN e sottoporre la tua richiesta a Silvia.

Arrivederci a presto!
Informazioni importanti sulla privacy: durante l'incontro verranno scattate delle fotografie e potrà essere chiesto agli intervenuti di presentarsi.

Grazie.

Since today some new and very nice features are available on Spock- it's first of all TRUST, the new way to connect with your trusted contacts on Spock. Then it's the possibility to send messages (communicate!) to another Spock users, and ... I found that Favorites have disappeared! Now the "Trusted" are there. However some kind of old favorites is still accessible in this way.

Jay comments this as a very significant step towards social communication for Spock nodes! And adds that the challenge with favorites was that people wanted to communicate with their favorites, and you could not do that in the previous design. We hope that people will like the feature a lot since it allows you to communicate and share contact information.

Spock Team is gonna send out a message about all this in the morning and will publish the info on their blog.

I am one of Spock fans and evangelists, so I am very happy with the way where it's going to! good luck to Spock ;)

 

UPDATE OF 18/10/2007:

Today it's already available a more structured new feature presentation from Spoke (found it in a Users Group). Enjoy!

1. Messaging - We implemented simple messaging on Spock. So, once you
find who you are looking for, if they are a valid Spock user, you can
send a message to them. The big difference here is that the message
will go directly to their email address and not to some "inbox" in
Spock.  All messages sent via Spock go directly to your email
account.  Eventually in the future, that message could go directly to
your preferred Social Network, or even to your cell phone as a text
message. This feature is being implemented since users said that once
they found the right person on Spock, they had no way of contacting
them or sending them a simple message.

2. Trust Network - Users have demanded that we overhaul the
"favorites" in Spock and make it more useful. Now, you can add people
to your trust network and share contact information with them.  So, if
I wanted my 1,500 contacts to always be able to reach me via email or
know my latest cell number or IM address, they can just look in
Spock.   I can decide who I share this information with in my
settings. Again, this was driven by user request as they said that
while we organize their public presense on Spock, why not allow them
to organize all of their fragmented communiction tools in Spock as
well.  So, regardless if you use GMAil, Meebo, Yahoo, Facebook, etc,
we will allow you to organize it all in Spock and share that with the
people you trust.  Again, this is in line with our goal of organizing
information around people and taking fragmented information and making
it organized.  We are not building out any of these communication
tools, we are just allowing you to organize and share them easily.  We
will even make it possible for people you trust to know if you are
online on any of your IM clients at any time!

If you have a lot of favorites you may be wondering what happened to
them - dont worry.  If you click in "Trusted" and look at the right
side, you will see a link called "people you migth want to add" - this
is your favorites list.. An easy way for you to see them and invite
them to Trust you on Spock.

I JUST LOVE NOKIA! THANK YOU GUYS! ;)

Although we've never tried the Nokia N810, its mobile concept provides a serious taste of the mobile future.

Nokia's new N810 makes iPhone look five years old 

Nokia today introduced the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, signifying a new phase in portable internet communication. Sporting Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a full-fledged web browser, there's only one thing missing: WiMAX. However, a WiMAX version of the N810 will be coming next year. In the meantime, the N810's Wi-Fi connectivity will provide Internet access through hotspots as well as home and office networks, while the Bluetooth 2.0 support provides Internet access through cellular data networks when connected to phones with Dial-up networking (DUN) support.

The Nokia N810 comes with a range of must-have features such as Skype for calling, web camera with VGA resolution, e-mail and Instant messaging clients, GPS radio with Wayfinder's voice guided navigation for turn-by-turn directions and a microSD slot supporting cards up to 8GB.

In addition, the N810 comes with a 400MHz TI OMAP 2420 processor, 2GB of internal storage capacity, 128MB DDR RAM and 256MB Flash ROM. Furthermore, the N810 weighs 226 g and measures 72 by 128 by 14 mm.

The Nokia N810 is powered by Maemo Linux based OS2008, featuring a highly customizable user interface and contains various novelties such as a Mozilla based browser with Ajax and Adobe Flash 9, Bluetooth headset support as well as enhanced video and audio features. The Mozilla browser provides access to all web sites a standard web browser would provide access to, including sites like Facebook and Youtube.

A built-in media player supports 3GP, AVI, WMV, MP4, H263, H.264, MPEG-1, MPEG-4 and RV (RealVideo) video formats, as well as MP3, WMA, AAC, AMR, AWB, M4A, MP2, RA (RealAudio) and WAV audio formats. The media player provides direct access to shared media over Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). Nokia claims a music playback time of 10 hours; continuous usage (display on, wireless LAN active) of up to 4 hours; always online time of up to 5 days; and standby time of up to 14 days.

The refreshed Video Gizmo, Skype and Rhapsody highlight some most popular downloads available while Boingo Wireless, Earthlink and The Cloud enable Wi-Fi connectivity across thousands of different locations globally.

Sporting a 65K colors 4.1" display with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels, the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is expected to start shipping mid November with an estimated retail price of $480.

World Business Forum it's very exciting event! HSM has done some great job so the Event organization was perfect and everything seemed to be done in the best possible way! I attended the Event as Milan-IN representative, since Milan-IN and HSM are partners.

Some my quick comments about what happened there (around myself) in the first day of WWF (23/10/2007)-

Seeing Gianfranco very serious but somes times smiling, was a good sing that it is everything under control ;) The first VIP speaker I attended the speech of, was Michael Eisner from Disney- a fantastic story of their growth, under the title "Creativity and Management". btw here is an interview with Michael by 7th floor.

Then in a coffee break I met some good old friends as Paola de Vecchi (the speaker of Milan-IN of the last Monday), Giuseppe Pasciuti, Andrea Boaretto, prof. Andrea Sianesi, Roberto Mastropasqua, of course there were presented Luca Conti, Andrea Genovese and many others. Alessandro Morelli was there "on-service", supporting some VIP speakers as part of the team assigned by HSM.

The first cool surprise for me was to find among the other partners/ sponsors of the Event also 7th floor, to meet in person the people who I contacted before via e-mail only (Events/ Publishing/ Graphic- Giuglia D'Agostino and Stefania Capaccioni), and to find that the NEW ISSUE of 7th floor magazine is ready and my small (pre-)article about MVNO.it (and Milan-IN a bit) is there on the page #15! (I'll scan in later and put here).

Then I attended two "free" conferences on the first floor. One was light, entertaining and really amazing- where Emanuele Sacchi (founder/VP of virtHuman International) spoke about charisma, leadership and visual signs of communication of the humans. Fantastic! I invited Mr. Sacchi to Milan-IN and also to be our Guest Speaker once on Monday...

The next one was a Web 2.0- User - Generated Marketing conference organized by 7th floor of Andrea Genovese, with David Orban, Leandro Agro`, some 7th floor people as speakers and some other Web 2.0 professionals. Very cool presentation guys! Here is the full story of this workshop.

Also met Giovanni Pola from Connexia and was told that he knows about my social projects and Web 2.0- activity ;), and was looking to meet me in person... I am very happy of course, hope we can do some things together!

Then lunch very reach, but with lots of people looking to steal something from the tables, and so very crowded and noisy... however it was good enough.

Sponsors, Partners, Free Networking- all around the hall. I am afraid I'll have my Business Card of Milan-IN ended tomorrow, if it is gonna be the same productive as today ;) I passed a calligraphic test with Mont Blanc and was given their present-bag included a Living a Dream CD of the fantastic singer Katherine Jenkins

 

MIP was presented of course and lots of MIP guests crossed the territory (Gianluca Ferranti, Fabio Lisca). Then 7th floor promoting their new issue with my first article there. and many other sponsors...BMW is everywhere, Vodafone with a very nice toy gadget as fake BlackBerry- have fun with your fake Mobile 2.0 device ;)

After that, another speech upstairs of a VIP speaker, person that I would call "the man that KNOWS this world"- Colin Powell, about Leadership and the Big Leaders of this World. That was fantastic, I have no words, only emotions! The good words/strings will write Luca Conti some later, I believe... and something is already available on Pandemia about Kevin Roberts.

Well, that was not the end of the day. Then followed pizza-party called "Pandecena- Gold" ;), since it was a Mr. Pandemia's party by invitation-only. So they called it "Gold", unlike the previous "opened" so very crowded :) Pandecena /2.0 I participated some time ago ;) The photos are available on flickr- bloggers usually make lots of photos :). Here is the collection of Elena for example, and a nice picture of myself with Luca drinking some beer and speaking about World Business Forum, it's first day!

The usual attendees were Lele Dainesi, Elena Franco, Andrea Romoli, Marco- 2Spaghi, Paolo- FoundraisingNow!, GIoxx, and some other known bloggers, friends of Luca.

Un passaggio nel mondo del business development e del credit consulting, per poi approdare al mondo delle corse.

Francesco è il team manager, responsabile delle attività finanziarie, delle relazioni esterne e del marketing. Una passione per il mondo delle corse e non solo, per la dolce vita in generale.
Lunedì sera ci racconterà meglio quali siano gli obiettivi della società sul mercato italiano e, perché no, se gli siano rimasti altri sogni da realizzare.

Seguirà poi un breve dibattito sui temi proposti.
Attivate il vostro cellulare! Durante la serata potrete acquisire sul vs cellulare, via bluetooth, contenuti multimediali riguardanti il nostro ospite.

Michela Marra e` una giovane giornalista e blogger, che ci ha contattata 3 settimane fa perche` voleva capire cosa e` questo fenomeno di Business Networking (conoscendo gia` un po` Social Networking classico). Devo dire che Michela e` stata la prima persona dal mondo di giorlanismo, che ha usato la nostra Contact Us form con l'opzione "I want to write about Milan-IN"! Happy me! ;)

Allora prima Pier Carlo (il Presidente di Milan-IN) e poi il Andrey Golub (resp Web Marketing/ Promotions), abbiamo spiegato a Michela che prima di tutto Milan-IN NON e` una Rete Sociale, ma un Business Club 2.0, basato su una Rete Sociale- LinkedIn! Cosi` Michela si e` interessata anche di che cosa e` Networking CLUB, e perche` noi abbiamo scelto LinkedIn. Poi visto i problemi di tempo di Pier Carlo ed anche Luca Zambrelli (resp. Marketing/ BizDev di Milan-IN) in questo periodo, sono dovuto io a parlare tanto con Michela ;), che mi ha anche chiesto di presentare la vita del mondo Web 2.0 Italiano a lei... cosi` siamo arrivati a Facebook, Twitter etc.

Ma il articolo parla di Milan-IN, di Social Networking on-line (LinkedIn, Viadeo- sinceramente non sapevo che Michela vuole scrivere anche di Viadeo, ma mi interessa prima di tutto la parte di Milan-IN dell'articolo :lol:), e del Club OFF-LINE di LinkedIn in Italia.

Oggi Michela e` un socio Milan-IN e speriamo di vederla in una delle setate di Social Networking 2.0 del nostro Club! forse il Lunedi` prossimo- serata di Francesco Tedeschi- Radical Italia Team Manager!

Ecco il Articolo- per ora nel Blog di Michela, tra poco anche in stampa-

MilanIn e Viadeo: le business social network in Italia

Enjoy the reading ;)

I was checking recently the pagerank of milanin.com web site, just to be sure it has not decreased with the recent google's page rank story, and found that our PR is quite good, PR=6.

And just another thing- MSN is still not our good friend as Google and Yahoo ;) 

 

It's for sure we'll need to take care also about MSN in the near future!

The One Source U.S. Market Entry Program provides manufacturers with unique consumer products in multiple categories such as computers, consumer electronics, home products, health and beauty, office products, sports and fitness, automotive, etc. access to an assortment of large on-line U.S. retailers without the risks of maintaining off-shore inventory and operations.
