This is a post inspired by the recently published list on Forbes, scheduled to appear on the November 2'nd issue of the financial magazine. I think that most of youtube watchers are already subscribed to almost all the following stars. The new generations are part of the future, so it was obvious for them to consider youtube as the global television of the future and to build their brands there. I assure you it isn't simple and it wasn't simple for them to attract so many fans (meaning … [Read more...]

Facebook Drains Your Smartphone Battery
I have recently noticed (yesterday, actually) a "news" article on my Google News, regarding the AVG antivirus software firm which attracted the users attention on accessing Facebook through the mobile browser. Of course, the article was second hand already, the info being taken from Business Insider. Unfortunately, being subscribed to Business Insider, I see much too much info hourly, to be able to notice this one quite on the spot.

It’s Been the Honor of my Profession
“It’s been an absolute privilege, it’s been the honor of my profession.” These are Jon Stewart's words on his quitting The Daily Show, after sixteen years of hosting it.

The New Rainmaker
I have received yesterday a promotional e/mail from Brian Clark, the Copyblogger Media co-founder, announcing the official launch of something new, called "Rainmaker". It's a platform, he said, a revolutionary something which will save you time and nerves. It's a sort of a site builder with click and drag, hosted on their own servers, so, if you sign up, you just migrate your domain (not the plural, you'll see why) and that's it, they give you a turnkey solution, where you have just concentrate … [Read more...]
