I came through an interesting case study of Facebook.com, the famous online social networking site at present. i am impressed the way they established their site from the beginning. Facebook was launched in February 2004 by Harvard undergrad students as an alternative to the traditional student directory. Its popularity quickly spread to other colleges in the US by word of mouth, and the site now registers close to 15M monthly UVs and over 6B page views per month.Facebook is already generating significant revenue(the latest was a rumored $750M offer), so despite all the valuation and web traffic metric hype, it has also established a very real business. 1) Provide pre-existing offline commun...

If a person becomes a billionaire, there cannot be single factor responsible for this. Combination of all factors only makes a man millionaire. As you know only a multifaceted talent can be called a genius.

I feel YouTube brought the popularity of viewing videos online with the growth of internet and technology. It had been the fastest growing website in Internet history with an average of 100 million videos streamed and 65,000 new video clips are uploaded per day.More than 13 million unique visitors per month. An average user spends 30 minutes on YouTube and most uploaders are repeat visitors themselves, within the age group of 18 to 35 year-olds. 58% of Internet videos are watched on Youtube, 20% to 30% of traffic volume is from the US and 30% to 40% of the content is copyrighted. There is a clear correlation between eyeballs and copyrighted content. YouTube was launched when social networks ...

"Ashok, a fresh computer graduate from a world- class University, goes for an interview in a Software company. The interviewer is Sunder, a grubby old man. And the first question he asks Ashok is, ‘Are you good at logic?’ ‘Of course,’ replies Ashok. ‘Let me test you,’ replies Sunder. ‘Two men come down a chimney. One comes with a clean face and the other comes out with a dirty face. Which one would wash his face?’ Ashok stares at Sunder. ‘Is that a test in Logic?’ Sunder nods. ‘The one with the dirty face washes his face’, Ashok answers wearily. ‘Wrong. The one with the clean face washes his face. Examine the simple logic. The one with the dirty face looks at the one with the clean face and thinks his face is clean. The one with the clean face looks at the one with the dirty face and thinks his face is dirty. So, the one with the clean face washes his face.’ ‘Hmm. I never thought of that," says Ashok. ‘Give me another test.’ Sunder holds up two fingers, ‘Two men come down a...

Steps to take in creating a powerful and rewarding 2012: Write yourself a letter describing your dreams and desires for 2012. Include all the aspects of your life—your business, vacations and new opportunities you would like to explore. Keep adding to the list for a few days. Our thoughts will keep multiplying when we give ourselves the freedom to be honest and not pass any judgment on our vision. When you feel your list is complete, create different categories for your ideas (business, vacations, social events, family and friends). Plug the ideas into the different categories. You will be amazed what thoughts surface. Congratulations, you now have your dream list. Choose both a big and a small dream you would like to accomplish. Plan the two steps you will take this week for each dream. Remember, as my mother always said, “Rome was not built in a day.” Taking time during this quiet time to plan for a powerful and rewarding 2012 is a beautiful gift you are giving yourself. ENJOY...

And it takes much more than your spending power. Most people caught in the urban trend of life lack a lot of things in their daily life, like time, freedom, peace and, most importantly, happiness. When your demanding lifestyle starts taking a toll on your mental, physical or emotional state of being, you know it's time for a change. We bring 10 small but ideal habits which can help you lead a better lifestyle . 1. Opt for juice over coffee Whether its a persistent migraine or lack of sleep or even a bad day at work, the urban man actually depends on coffee. Not everyone knows that the dependence is actually a bane and poses health hazards. Substitute your daily cup of coffee with a glass of fresh juice. It will not only bring a marked improvement in your health but might also reverse the ill-effects of your lifestyle on...
