For Your Info...

The Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the largest organization of professional fundraisers in the world has named Facebook as the Winner of the First People's Special Achievement for Social Change in the 16th edition of the competition for the top Internet sites (Afp, 2012). This only means that Facebook, in spite of its acceleration in technology access, social quality and collaboration is still on its utmost effectivity and efficiency.

A NEW PHOTO APP IS BORN!

Now it won’t be that much time-consuming to upload and share photos one by one. With Facebook’s newest Camera App everyone can take as much pictures, upload and share them all at once plus it also features a feed of your friend or family’s photos. The launch was unexpected and although it offers users similar tool to Instagram it is still a big relief and a hit for all Facebook photo enthusiasts like myself. It is lately the easiest and most appealing way to upload your pictures, and your family and friends locally and overseas will see the photos in just one snap and everybody will surely enjoy and be thankful because with this new application and the rest of Facebook’s features like chat, message and video calls, the distance is nil.

Grooving with Twitter

Grooving with Twitter

Twitter Updates 

One of the most useful tools that I've come across that leverages Twitter is called GroupTweet. It basically allows you to create a group contact list that amalgamates all of the 'tweets' from your team. This adds some important functionality that I mentioned was missing from Twitter and makes it much easier for the entire team to get updates on activities and priorities/issues that team members are working on. There's a great site that includes an inventory of Twitter related products that is also worth browsing for anyone exploring the use of twitter at Twitter Tools. 



Getting Your Groove On 


Something else we've been experimenting with is a way to establish a highly collaborative, document and knowledge sharing solution for the project team with the real time updates of Twitter and aggregating this into a wider project and documentation portal. One of the products we're looking at is Microsoft's Groove. Groove is part of the Office 2007 product suite and it allows you to create a project collaboration workspace with file sharing, discussion groups, shared calendars and a number of other colloboration tools. What makes it particularly powerful is that it relies on an encrypted, peer-to-peer mechanism to share information with team members and supports this with real-time synchronization. This means team members will always have the latest versions of every artifact in the project workspace and Groove syncs this data real-time and when you're disconnect it will sync the minute you're connected. This makes it very easy to share information securely across with even third parties like contractors or vendors you might be working with (without the traditional VPN/RSA burden). If you use Microsoft sharepoint you can publish artifacts to the Sharepoint library when they're ready for broader consumption and also enable file-level versioning of all project related artifacts. Now add in the real-time broadcasts of Twitter feeds (you can use theTwitterbox plug-in on your site with the GroupTweet product) and suddenly you have this remarkable colloboration framework that conveys the real 'pulse' of a project. It basically allows the major constraint of agile projects, co-located teams (see below), to be lifted.

In my childhood my grandparents would get shocked with new devices and uses. But today everyone have to come across new changes and applications. In context of Twitter being a global social networking site from the beginning has been focused and dedicated to develop a web-computing platform with user driven contents. As it comes to users Twitter has circled all over the globe only with upgrade in features i.e., user-friendly, compatibility, entertaining and options of own language.

     Translation at Twitter

    Twitter is translated through their Translator Center by a vibrant community of volunteers from all over the world. These growing groups of upward from 350,000 passionate users have proven to be indispensable in our efforts to make Twitter available to everyone in the world. With their help, we have been able to launch Twitter in Indonesian, Arabic, Russian, Thai, English, German, Filipino, Finnish, Portuguese, Hindi, Polish, Norwegian, Traditional Chinese, Italian, Korean, Dutch, Urdu, Simplified Chinese, Farsi, Hebrew, Danish, Swedish, Japanese, Hungarian, Spanish, Turkish, Malay, French.

Skype Conclusively

With the Birth of Skype into the world of Information Systems, Skype has proved to be User friendly with no installation hassles. Skype is downloadable as free Software.  The benefit of computer voice calls via the internet is that it allows the user to call regardless of distance.

Cost component is major concern in this competive world.Skypes calls are free from Skype to Skype, and less expensive from Skype to phone.  not only provides the user convenience but also saves money.

Skype has advantages over other collaborative tools as any missed calls (either domestic or international) from a computer can be routed to mobile phones as a call divert which is optional.

Another special feature of Skype is its ability to make video calls and also the easy to transfer files quickly from one person’s account to another person’s computer.

The brilliant innovation of Skype has made communicating easier and has broken down a number of barriers such as distance, time, and money.

The disadvantages of Skype is that it  requires your computer to be turned on and the software up and running in order to make calls and also as it prevents you from making and receiving calls when your computer is off.

Limited options exist for individuals who would like to use a typical land-line telephone with the Skype software other than a corded USB phone. Skype officially endorses only two types of traditional land-line telephones that can be used with its service: the cordless RTX Dual phone handset and the Belkin Desktop Internet phone. Special Phones are made for Skype users that use Wi-Fi technology.

The other issue is the idea of Skype subscribers who has difficulty using Skype customer service and the non-existence of contact customer number and only an online help form that allows users to submit a support request.

Looking at all my articles written Skype is really trying its level best to maintain being a market leader in VOIP and working very hard at it.

Even in comparation of advantages to Disadvantages Skype is a good collaborative tool with full short comings.In my analysis Skype needs to work extra hard in the Customer services, come up with more Three Dimensional virtuals world  versions.

Good to hear of its latest version of Skype which offers the clearest , crispest , Sharpest quality video calling and High Definition capability.All the user need is to have an HD quality Webcam and everyone can see the Video in High Definitions.
