Web2.0 Israel Better Than Europe

Web2.0 Israel Better Than Europe 2 If the expansion of the late '90s Bubble was limited in Europe compared to the US or Israel, it would have been mainly for two reasons â€" localization needs and entrepreneurial obstacles. Localization needs I was part of the team that brought Amazon to France in 2000 and this was a topic we struggled with daily. Many people oversimplify localization to be a language issue. In reality, localization is anything that can be done to convince a user that a product was created in their locale (usually country or region). Big issues like currencies, units of measurement and cultural references need to be taken into account, but also details such as whether to place a $ or â‚ ¬ symbol before or after a price. Only large companies can afford to have localization experts like Amazon did, and it gets even more complicated and expensive to manage with every new locale. Amazon had big plans for Europe when I was there but a quick check today in 2007 will show you that the French site is still Amazon's last launch on the Old Continent. What has changed for Web2.0? Web2.0 is about communities and sharing, which are difficult to do across boundaries such as languages or cultures. The localization issues continue to exist, but their urgency has somewhat abated in Europe now that English has become more and more pervasive as the language of the Internet, bridging groups of people regardless of their mother tongue. As many of the Internet words like email have trickled into other languages and emoticons have become universally meaningful, the understanding of English netspeak has become more accessible to all. In addition, improvements in usability and the increasing application of standards and best practices have had their impact; some sites now require so little reading to be useful (e.g. Twitter or del.icio.us) that a localized version may never be needed. More important has been the democratization of free open-source software and the accompanying trends towards openness and transparency. Local versions adapted by volunteers are immediately made available for use by anyone, especially people who feel they may otherwise have to wait for their favorite site to appear in a national version. In consequence, Wikipedia is available in dozens of languages and Germans who love Digg can customize Upwarded.com or similar package and launch their own version (Ausgrabb?) quickly and cheaply just like the French have done with Fuzz.fr.eval How has the Israeli Internet industry dealt with this problem? Localization was never much of an issue in a country where most people speak English and love American brands and expressions, Internet-based or otherwise. The Israeli mentality that local business is a distraction has led most Israeli startups to aim their business abroad from the get-go, usually towards the United States, which played well with local users who often used these sites without even realizing they were homemade. Finally, developers in Israel have also been able to benefit from open-source software as much as any developers in Europe. Entrepreneurial obstacles Nurturing an idea into a profitable European business used to mean challenges of bureaucracy, dealing with banks and financiers who didn't understand the Internet, and even cultural change when you consider that many Europeans idealize the ‘stable' government job.eval What has changed for Web2.0? Progressively over the past few years, European governments have begun to shift gears, simplifying formalities for startup ventures. Encouraging small business in France, a recent law limits corporate taxes as long as revenue stays beneath a certain threshold. In the United Kingdom, starting a company can now be done in less than a day. The investor scene in Europe has also evolved, as was often discussed at the recent LeWeb3 conference. There are more local investors willing to invest in European startups, and more foreign investors have begun to include European companies in their portfolios. At the same time, the use of free open-source software has significantly lowered startup costs to the point where many founders no longer feel compelled to take on outside investors, making this point a moot one in many cases. How has the Israeli Internet industry dealt with this problem? Although Israeli bureaucracy is still an issue, the government was already improving its practices for startups years ago, part of the reason for success at companies like ICQ during the Bubble and for Metacafe and eSnips today. Also key are investor attitudes towards Israeli companies, which continue to be so strong that firms like Sequoia Capital have local branches while still shunning Europe. And like in Europe, many Israeli startups have also benefited from the lower technological entry barriers and costs resulting from the open-source community. Plus, Israel has Orli.

13 Questions You Should Ask When Developing Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

13 Questions You Should Ask When Developing Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career What is the #1 question I should ask myself as I try to figure out what my personal brand stands for? The following answers are provided by the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC),  an invite-only organization comprised of the worlds most promising young entrepreneurs. In partnership with Citi, YEC recently launched StartupCollective, a free virtual mentorship program that helps millions of entrepreneurs start and grow businesses. 1. How Do I Define Myself? A key thing anyone launching a personal brand should do is define himself. What is your purpose? What is your passion? What naturally flows out of your DNA? How can you add value to the world? When this can be clearly defined, described and put into language, then the launching of a personal brand can be impactful. Matt Shoup, MattShoup.com 2. Why Do I Matter? Seriously. Whats the heart of your business? Why do you matter to the world? Why are your people going to wake up and devote their energy to your business? Why are clients going to hire you? The answer to all of those questions is the same, and it starts with understanding why you matter and how you help your customers matter. Corey Blake, Round Table Companies 3. In Five Words or Less: Whats My Mission? If you can’t describe your goals in a single sentence, it’s a strong sign you’re being too broad. Sam Saxton, Salter Spiral Stair and Mylen Stairs 4. What Makes Me Upset? Youve got lots of positive questions to ask yourself, but Ive found that we can often find our fiery mission by asking ourselves what we dont like about our industry or how most things are done. The clearer you are on what you dont want to stand for, the easier it is to make your mark as a personal brand. Nathalie Lussier, Nathalie Lussier Media Inc. 5. What Do I Believe In? A successful brand should be an extension of the values and beliefs of the company. Truth is hard to fake, so if you live and breathe what your brand represents, people will take notice. Ask yourself, What is the purpose of my brand? What makes my brand different? Elliot Fabri, EcoCraft Homes 6. What Are My Past Accomplishments? Ask yourself how those accomplishments naturally align with where you want to take your brand. A brand is a story; it needs one or two memorable themes or congruent aspects. Andrew Fayad, eLearning Mind 7. Is My Brand Authentic? Whether or not your personal brand is authentic is one of the most important parts of building your brand. People can see through what is fake, and if your brand is not authentic or isnt really you, its doomed to fail from the start. You wont build any sort of following or respect. Pablo Palatnik, ShadesDaddy.com 8. What Dont I Stand For? A good way to jumpstart the creative process for brand building is to identify what you dont stand for. Whats not your speciality? Whats not in your wheelhouse? When we see what we dont stand for, it provides perspective and makes it easier to identify what we do stand for. Antonio Neves, THINQACTION 9. What Would I Do If I Knew I Could Not Fail? Its a popular question, but its one that is crucial to figuring out what you stand for. When you dig deep and ask yourself that question, you can get a glimpse into what truly matters to you and what youre most passionate about. While your personal brand may not be a culmination of that questions answer, itll get you pretty close to it. Erin Blaskie, Next Dev Media 10. How Do I Want Other People to Describe Me? If you picture the moment that a friend, colleague or peer is describing you to someone else, what do you want them to say? Imagine what they say today (or just ask them), and start there. Is it something youre proud of? If so, build from there. If not, get in the drivers seat, and work to change the conversation. Aman Advani, Ministry of Supply 11. Whats Right Under My Feet? The best brands communicate who you already are. They are an extension of your existing personality, strengths, interests and values. Oftentimes, we search tirelessly outside of ourselves for what our brand message should be, when in fact, its likely already right under our feet. Revisit common threads from childhood to where you are now, and ask close friends and family for feedback, too. Jenny Blake, Jenny Blake 12. How Did I Get to Where I Am? The most powerful personal brands come out of powerful origin stories. Think about how you got to where you are. Why do you do the things you do? Work on crafting that story. Why do Spider-Man and Batman fight crime? They were victims of senseless crimes as children. They crafted their brands around their background; you should do the same. Adam Lieb, Duxter 13. What Difference Do I Want to Make? Figuring out who you want to help, why and how is all you need to know. Start with the difference you want to make and the impact you want to leave on the world, and then the rest will follow. Alexis Wolfer, The Beauty Bean Featured Image Attribution

Success at Networking Gifts that Rob Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Success at Networking Gifts that Rob Your Personal Brand - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Jimmy Fallon’s monologue bit this week encapsulates this so well.   He announced that Starbucks has a new Silver Card hailing it as the gift that cries here’s $200 that says I don’t know you. He’s right. This season you could quickly rob yourself of points in credibility and engagement if you give that gift that shouts that. Dr. Paul White, a fellow Personal Branding Blog author and author of The Five Languages of Appreciation at Work, recounts a story of a Christmas where someone gifted him a Starbucks gift card.   And, this would be a thoughtful gift if Dr. White was a coffee drinker but he’s not.   Had this person known him better they would have known that he is not a coffee drinker yet enjoys fishing.   A gift card from the Bass Pro Shop would have been more appreciated because it was a gift wrapped in thoughtfulness. Thoughtful branding Tis the season to be thoughtful.   In business gift giving, gifts that are not thought centered around the receiver have a far better chance to have a negative effect on your personal brand. In fact, if you’re going to go generic in your gift giving (which can happen at times when you’re being budget conscious along with being fair and consistent to others), then do take the time to write a personal and thoughtful note as to why you appreciate this person or why they matter. For example, let’s say I decided to give chocolates to every one of my clients, close connections and referral partners.   In that group, there could be people who are dieting, who don’t like chocolate, or who are diabetic. What kind of impression do I send and what kind of gratitude am I communicating if I send something that dismisses those things? Yet, if I include a thoughtful note which includes: 1.      Their name 2.      What they specifically do that I appreciate 3.      How they make a difference or matter in my life and/or business 4.      And, that this gift was given as a sincere gesture of gratitude Then, that would be a gift wrapped more in thought. In this example, that might look like this: Brian, You are always looking out for my business and referring your friends and even family members to me. That means so much to me!   Your trust and belief and my ability to benefit from that by your personal introduction to your close knit circle has been extremely helpful in the growth and success of my business. I don’t know if you like chocolates. Do you?   I am giving this with sincere thanks and hope you can enjoy them or share them with your friends and family. That quick note addresses each of the four components of a note that is specific and personal to the receiver.   It also provides a question that promotes continued conversation and relationship building.   If someone is important to you and/or your business, wouldn’t you want to get to know them better? Tangible gifts Not everyone will appreciate gifts of appreciation no matter how thoughtful and resourceful in your research that you try to be. There are some of us who prefer and receive appreciation better in other forms.   It could be we prefer words of affirmation more than any gift; or acts of service (if we’re someone who thinks actions speak louder than words); in that same vein we might prefer quality time to anything that could be bought; or a solid high-five or pat on the back could mean even more. If you would like to learn more about the five languages of appreciation, here’s a great resource. Creating relationship building moments Use the time to build and develop your relationships.   Perhaps instead of spending money on a tangible gift a gift of quality time might be more worth it. You’ll see business gatherings and holiday open houses this time of year. As an individual, you can do the same. When I first started in business, I would have a holiday lunch and invite all of my clients and connections to attend.   It worked since my business then was highly localized which made it easier for everyone to attend.   Of course, lunch and the venue were on me, and during the event I allocated time for everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other. After all, those connections and clients were interested in building their business and their network.   The holiday luncheon served as a thank you moment along with gifting them with new connections.   In fact, after the luncheon I sent an email with everyone’s contact information encouraging them to get to know someone on that list more for the upcoming New Year. Now, that the geography of business is more vast and diverse, I’m hosting a 12 Last Minute Tips to Drive Year End Success. As a reader, I appreciate the time you take to read my articles each and every week and you’re invited to join in on this online event.

How to delegate effectively

How to delegate effectively I am the poster-child for the saying You have to spend money to make money. I  make a lot of money but I spend most of it on people who help me to do things so I can keep making money. For example, I have an assistant, a driver, a nanny, an editor, and a research maven. None are full-time but all make my life much better. I think I make their lives better, too, because Im good at delegating. Here are three delegating rules I live by: 1. Dont think of it as delegation. Think of it as customizing jobs. The reason driving nearly put me in the mental ward is that I cant stop looking for new things to think about. Which means I either feel mental anguish focusing on driving or I crash. So I found Carla, who is much happier driving than being at her former desk job. She is the second Jehovah’s Witness in my life. The first is my assistant. When I was a kid, Jehovahs Witnesses used to come to our door.  We had no parents at home. So I was always like, Finally, someone is here to talk to me and my brother. But they won’t come in and talk if there is no parent home. Jehovah’s Witnesses can spot a family situation that is too bad to mingle with. Do you see how I just used the word like? Normally I would reword that sentence because it would provoke cries of pain from grammar police across the Internet. But my editor sent me this article  about how using like is actually acknowledging the fact that truth is elusive. So anyway, I think I gravitate toward Jehovahs Witnesses because everyone in the vicinity of my farm has lived here a million years. But the Witnesses (that’s what you call them if you talk about them a lot) move to new places so they can keep converting new people. So they are often newcomers and they are always outcasts. So they are outcasts and I am an outcast and we attract each other. While Carla was driving I was telling her how I did like five hours of research about Amanda Knox. At first I was looking for information about the sex game she was playing when she was arrested. The Italian police think she and two guys were playing a sex game and Amanda’s roommate wouldn’t play so they killed her. I didnt understand what sort of sex game that could be. So I googled and it turns out there probably wasn’t a sex game. But I kept reading and noticed reports about her inappropriate eye contact in the court room. Theres a picture of her smiling in court up top. And inappropriate behavior at the police station. Another smile picture: And her friends say she was the smartest person they’ve ever met. The more I read, the more I am sure she has Aspergers. Also, her mom has it. Look, I know you think I’m nuts that I diagnose everyone. But I am a genius at seeing it in women. The mom is a math teacher and a really nice guy divorced her and she married someone Amanda’s age. See? She’s a social idiot who is really smart. So I tell Carla about my Aspergers theory and Carla says, “You should google it.” Carla has pretty much made that my car job. Carla is the driver and I google things. So guess what? There is a Time magazine article  about how Amanda probably has Aspergers. How did I miss this? 2. Instead of delegating the type of work you dont respect, delegate work you wish you were good at. Clive Thompson emailed me to tell me that he reads my homeschool blog, likes it and wonders if he could send me his new book, Smarter Than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better. And I was like, OMG I’m so happy I’m so happy because I love the writing he does in the New York Times. I set up an interview, which I never do because I dont know how to ask questions. I only know how to answer questions. So I asked my research maven to find all the interviews hes done so I can steal peoples questions. But after all that, I skipped over all the questions and just argued with Clive. Why? Why do I do that? Why do I need Clive to see that his book is a diatribe on why people should homeschool? I wrote down all kinds of stuff from our interview where he says things that prove he should be homeschooling his kids. But it’s immature of me. Another immature thing I did was write down all the words he used in the interview that I didn’t know. Like perspicacious  and bloviate. And every time I said self-learner he would replace it with  auto-didact. I made a note to make fun of him for that. And then. Nothing. I mean, it’s not like I can use an interview where I am being an annoying socially incompetent homeschool zealot. But one good thing came of this exercise. My research maven sent me a great article Clive wrote in Wired  about how kids are tied to their electronics because it’s the only way they can get any privacy with their friends because school doesn’t give them privacy. This dovetails nicely into Jennifer Senior’s new book, All Joy and No Fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenting. She says teenagers are hard for parents because parents can’t cope with how their teens need some space. How can parents give space when parents gave up all their own space to be parents? Okay. I am paraphrasing. But Jen Senior is my favorite living writer. No kidding. I have plagiarized her New York magazine articles about 100 times on this blog. Here and here for starters. And I can call her Jen because she emailed me to ask for career advice. Sort of. She asked me if she should start a Twitter account to promote her book. And I told her Twitter doesn’t sell anything. I told her I have 135,000 followers and Ive never done anything useful with that account except sell a tweet for $3000 to someone who thought tweets actually sell things. I considered asking Jen for an interview, even after Clive. But  then I thought, the phone call will be awkward because the only thing I want to ask her is, On a scale of 1 to 10 how much do you like me?  So instead, I had my assistant find all the published excerpts of the book, because I like to read magazine articles, not books. 3. Instead of delegating small, low-impact tasks, delegate with the goal of accomplishing your larger agenda. Probably me writing that I read excerpts instead of the book is going to make Jen knock me down a few notches on the scale of one to ten. Probably if my roommate were murdered I’d be convicted, too, because I am not good at being quiet when it’s time to be quiet. And probably you are like, When is Penelope wrapping up this post? And what was the point again anyway? So here’s the to do list I am delegating to you. Read Jennifer Senior’s book. Read Clive Thompson’s book. Tell everyone that Amanda Knox has Asperger’s so our society can start identifying Asperger’s in women instead of just putting them in prison.

5 Tips for Fostering a Collaborative Work Environment

5 Tips for Fostering a Collaborative Work Environment Photo Credit â€" Pexels.comCollaborative workforces have been proven to be more productive than those which focus solely on individual work. If your business has yet to take the leap, how do you know when it’s the right time, or if your employees would perform better when working in teams?Do your employees wander the office, disengaged from their work and the environment?Do you overhear the sounds of ringing phones more than you do actual conversation?evalIf so, and if you want to make a difference not only in the productivity of your floor and the overall morale of your workforce, it might be time to make a switch. Here are five easy tips to follow to get your started:1. Open FloorplansevalWhile the debate continues to rage on about whether or not open, cubicle-less floorplans are making or breaking the business community, one thing is true: it depends on your employees.If they crave interaction and an open area for brainstorming, communication, and the overall energy that an open floor plan offers, then by all means, ignore the naysayers and implement it.For the most part, humans are sociable creatures, and enjoy being near another human when possible. And while this setup might not work for everyone, including those people whose jobs require intense concentration like computers programmers or web coders, should your business have any needs in terms of creativity, invention, engineering, a place where multiple ideas bring more success, then an open floor plan might just be exactly what you’ve been looking for.2. Encouraging a Workplace CommunityAside from the open floorplans, there are multiple ways to encourage your employees to befriend and get to know each other better, which in the long run will contribute to more comfortable brainstorming sessions and the ability for everyone to work together harmoniously.Not to mention, a increase in overall empathy between employees will make them more likely to willingly assist and work together with one another i n group projects and if a problem should arise.By supporting a communal environment, you allow for your employees to not only feel more welcome where they work, but also allow them a place to more comfortably share their experiences and ideas that may be exactly what your collaborative team needs to accomplish a goal.evalIf employees do not know each other well, if they have no opportunities to communicate or interact on a daily basis, odds are you will only be receiving feedback from the same people every day who are normally talkative as it is. But by breaking down the walls, the barriers that might hold back someone who is a little more reserved in speaking up, it opens the doors for more opportunity in new, fresh ideas.Consider implementing out-of-work activities such as community service nights, family nights, or even rolling out a company-wide communication program that allows for free flowing conversation between coworkers.3. Cultivating Team BuildingThere’s a reason group work is implemented so often in the world of education, whether it be grade school or university, and all of those reason can be applied even to the workplace:Share diverse perspectives.Pool knowledge and skills.Develop new approaches to resolving differences.Establish a shared identity with other group members.Develop their own voice and perspectives in relation to peers.Even if your workers aren’t necessarily over the moon about an open-floor plan based on their area of work/expertise, encouraging constant opportunities for team building is just as important. Whether that be through team-based activities, competitions, goal-setting, etc. Anything to get them working together toward a common objective.4. Offering More Opportunities For Group WorkevalWhile setting your employees loose on a specific goal or objective is certainly the best method for cultivating a friendly rapport between coworkers, don’t think that you must set them out on an company-based endeavor alone.Group go als shouldn’t focus on simply achieving success in terms of their jobs, as that might alienate them from having relationships outside of work, particularly if they only ever associate one another with their 9-5 day job.Instigate different ideas and activities that can be accomplished outside of the office, whether it be during or after office hours. Things like weight loss/health competitions, food drives, and other service and well-being oriented goals. After all, nothing increases workplace camaraderie than a little competition.5. Keep an Open-Door Management PolicyevalAn open door management policy can be taken literally as a manager’s office door is literally left open to allow for a more approachable atmosphere, but the same applies metaphorically, too.If your employees are comfortable enough to approach you with ideas, complaints, and other things on their minds, they will also likely show the same initiative when with their peers in a brainstorming or idea-building type o f setting.On top of their increased productivity, an employee who is happy and comfortable in their environment as well as with their managers and peers, are less likely to become depressed or suffer from anxiety, which can qualify for worker’s comp. Happy workers are healthy workers, and healthy workers are productive ones.While it’s still important that your employees understand you remain their manager and deserve a certain amount of respect because of it, when creating a friendly atmosphere through positive managerial habits, you will surely soon encompass the entire workplace floor with the same attitude.

Choosing a Legitimate Healthcare Resume Writing Service

Choosing a Legitimate Healthcare Resume Writing ServiceWhat are the factors that you should consider when looking for a legitimate healthcare resume writing service? Once you know the basics, you can choose which service to work with.First of all, there should be someone who is capable of creating a resume that is not only professional in appearance but also in content. You should hire someone who has experience in crafting health care resumes that are more than adequate for your particular needs. Also, he or she should be able to create a document that will be completely free of spelling and grammatical errors, as well as any instances of misspelled words.Another consideration is the cost of the service. It is important to ensure that it is a worthwhile investment. There are freelancers who charge very little for their services and then turn around and charge extremely high fees for their final work. When deciding on which service to use, look for a service that charges a fair price for the excellent results.One way to find freelance writers who can create the work you need is to ask former patients. Often, the doctor and nurse who wrote the cover letter for you are willing to speak with you about their experiences in order to provide feedback on your opportunity. This can help you make an informed decision on who to use. You can also check out sites such as freelanceweb.com, which includes contact information for over 400 medical and nursing professionals who are available to do just about any job.Second, search the internet for any good sources for prospective employers. There are many online forums where doctors and nurses share their stories of successful resumes. This is a great way to find recommendations for potential healthcare professionals to contact for projects.Once you have narrowed down your list of potential freelancers, visit their websites and read their stories, reviews, and portfolios. Review the samples they provide in your website's resour ce box and make sure they provide samples of work that they have completed in the past. Also, go through each one and read the materials they include in the resource box before you hire them.Once you have found the best candidate, go in person to set up an initial meeting. If all goes well, you can interview him or her and get started. Just remember that you should be able to discuss the work and any concerns you may have with the writer. You should also be able to offer references to the writer so that he or she can check their references and verify that they are capable of writing the resume you need.The resume writing service should provide samples of work that is completed and provide references of previous clients. Remember, a legitimate healthcare resume writing service is not going to offer samples to test the waters. So be sure to have no questions before you begin writing your own cover letters.
