I just had a shot at google's answer to facebook and twitter which they call Google Buzz. It's very basic which I suppose has always been a hallmark and a strength of google. However, I'm not sure that plan is going to work with...

markodoom So many ways to do this and let me tell you from my own experience doing it myself - it's hard work and results are spotty. If you look on yahoo groups, I remember there was at least one person there who actually offers a free correspondence class in SEO and...

Have any of you heard this old saying? My grandparents used to say it a lot and my parents repeat it as do I. Basically the premise is that in life, especially in work, you get your break not through your knowledge or ability but...

markodoom So again neelianoscet, nepotism is the negative aspect of this life truth. It is an unfortunate spin-off. To my thinking though it IS important to forge relationships with key people in your career. It's important to really try to identify the people that can...

Now I expect this to be contentious. There seems to be the widest range of opinions on the subject of who started the whole rock n'roll genre of music. Let me open a can of worms and ask the question here.

2 responses

markodoom Yes it is a fusion of many types of music but most specifically the ones you have named.

markodoom Yes - it is very logical of course. I will assure you though that it doesn't always play out.

markodoom I don't think we should hesitate to hire the people with the right skills for the job. However, I do believe that if you already KNOW that person, it's very much in your interest to hire them because it redices the risk and uncertainty you have to face when...

markodoom Yes and that is the more negative side of this idiom. It seems true and unfair that many people work hard and demonstrate skills but because they choose not to (or don't have the skill to) get involved in politicking, they lose out. Fair to say.

markodoom What a great story and a very interesting spin on this whole fact of life. I think you have to be respected for making your own way and on your merits. However you do have to be careful and examine your motivations (as you do here when you ask whether this is...

markodoom Exactly! If you know a person who has all the skills you're seeking, you don't have to look too far do you? Also if you have personally experienced their work and it is satisfactory and you trust it, you don't have to take a chance on somebody you don't know...

markodoom You're exactly right UmiNoor! You do have to pay shipping on all of these movies and it is 2.98 minimum I believe. I personally think that they MUST take a cut out of that - Amazon have to have their margin for example. Even so I still believe it is VERY cheap...
