 FYI: The girl is just playing... The boy doesn't know it! I often get the question: "Why should I have a nice website, I have a great company and a adequate web page with my contact information and some products... why pay to make it better?" Simple answer: - You will gain appreciation
- You have a store 24/7 with low cost ready to bring you money!
- You will get more customers and unexpected sales
I suggest: - Have a perfect design for your website that will be in common with your corporate profile
- Optimize your website for the search engines (SEO)
- Invest time on your website!

Outsourcing: collaboration is the key... The principle benefit of and reason to outsource is that it allows a firm to focus its activities on its core competency. Simultaneously, the firm outsourced to will be acting in its core competency. That provider firm brings a number of advantages to the performance of its task including access to state-of-the-art technology; economies of scale with regard to hardware, software, and personnel; and aggressive use of low-cost labor pools. The outsourcing firm focuses on broader business issues, or maintains a clearer strategic focus, while operational details are assumed by an outside. Outsourcing can deliver considerable savings on office space, general overhead, company cars, pensions, insurance, and salaries. Since it is their core competency, providers are more likely to remain abreast of technological innovations in their field. The outsourcing firm then gains easier access to expertise and new technological developments. Providers can be more flexible with regard to workload than an in-house process; this can allow a firm to turn a fixed cost into a variable cost through outsourcing. They are more inclined to be flexible because of their customer/supplier orientation, an orientation that may well be absent in an in-house arrangement. In summary, outsourcing is thought to be beneficial because of economies of scale, improved access to new technology, and the flexibility inherent in the outsourcing relationship.

(23/08/2007) "As of today, thanks to the EU's continued pressure, consumers can now fully assess what's on offer across Europe as regards the new Eurotariffs for mobile roaming," said Viviane Reding, EU Telecom Commissioner. "I note with satisfaction that all mobile operators now appear to comply with the law, and that also the few black sheep we noted three weeks ago have returned to the fold in the meantime. However, the fact that the picture is now complete does not mean that the job is done. Together with the national telecom regulators, the Commission will now look into the quality, transparency and consumer-friendliness of the new roaming offers. In autumn, this will allow us to assess whether there is now more competition in the roaming market and whether consumers actually get a better deal." The Commission's website, launched on 2 August, lists the Eurotariff on offer per operator in all 27 EU Member States (see IP/07/1202). The table is based on responses to a questionnaire sent in mid-July to 95 mobile operators in the EU. Initially the Commission received 74 responses. Some operators only later informed the Commission about their offers or corrected the information they had sent. Today, with the last two operators - Estonia's EMT and Cyprus' Areeba - having communicated their offer to the Commission, the EU-wide overview is now complete. Read the full story.

The five senses, some centuries ago it was considered evil to explore...
Today it is considered as the only way that we may explore the world...
Education. First of all it is something that we get from the day we get borne, realizing the worlds through it, going from the unstructured (family) to the structured (school) and then in between we decide what we want to achieve.
An architect, a dentist, a mathematician, an Information Systems specialist and so on, is a reflect and a filter of others would want us to be and finally... we select. If our selection is based on conscious then the theoretical base that we will get from the schools and universities will be just the basis of what we will do in the future. I say just the basis because, imagine a youth getting in the university. Though, the books and material that will get is out dated. Diplomacy perhaps, in most universities they teach materials of the 19th century. Where is the present?
Of course somebody would say, these are methods proven... but work is something that is dynamically changing each day due to the modern factors of communication (Internet), where universities and schools can not follow.
I strongly believe that education should now-days be more dynamic, challenging and based on the present era. Otherwise, the only use for university title, is to use it under our cv to convince that we know our job that we learned via experience ...

 Do a 30-secs search before you say something you're not sure about!
My morning browsing started with a interesting discovery. Google News is finally available in Greek, covering news from over 100 sites with news in Greek. Curious about when this happened (and I hadnt noticed) I started googling for "news.google.gr" I found this article from a site posting about the expansion of the service.
The funny part was when (hopefully out of ignorance) the author of the article wrote that Google's new service is "familiar in philosophy with Site-x". A statement that can be refuted with a 30-secs search which produces the following results
- Google News is a news aggregating service, indexing thousands of sites in multiple languages, since 2002.
- Site-x is a blog using Wordpress to gather news from other Wordpress blogs using RSS, evolving from a simple blog in 2005
Apparently, the opposite statement is true...
So our tip of day: Do not use un-checked information or exaggerate or (even worse) lie when you post about yourself or your company on the Internet. With each action we take every day (publication of pages on our sites, forum posts, blogs, e-mails, etc) we "spread" an incredible amount of information, which most of the times is out of our control after our action and can easily be checked with a few seconds of search. Even more, this information is available for years to come.
Do a test, search for your full name or the username you regularly use on sites! ;)
