The Super Secret of Persuasion
The Super Secret of Persuasion
Have you ever wanted to get someone to agree to do something for you (or to buy something from you)?
The "Foot In the Door Effect" demonstrates that a person who agrees to a small request is much more likely to then agree to a much bigger request.
So, start small before going big.

Microsoft Unveils Skype Translator
Microsoft Unveils Skype Translator
"Doing business with companies abroad could soon become a lot easier and more efficient thanks to Microsoft’s new Skype Translator.
The new feature combines Skype’s voice and instant messaging technologies with Microsoft Translator and “neural network-based speech recognition.” In a recent demonstration, the technology was able to translate English to German and vice-versa in near real-time."

I LOVE Email Scams!
I LOVE Email Scams!
Abdul Zongo of the Bank of Africa has asked me to pretend to be Christian Eich’s Next of Kin “so that the fruits of this old man’s labour ($22.5 million) will not be use for financing government.”

Digital Forensics: A Billion-Dollar Market in the Making
Digital Forensics: A Billion-Dollar Market in the Making
While the article primarily addresses LE's use of digital forensics, it is important to note that the market for civilian forensic investigators will absolutely GO THROUGH THE ROOF as well!
Why will D.F. become a billion dollar business?
"[Digital Forensics] is going to expand dramatically over the next few years because we are entering a new age of computing shaped by the Internet of Things. In the coming years, everything will be smart, including our cars, thermostats, and refrigerators. But this means we will generate and leave a visible trail at every place we visit, on everything we touch, and with everything we do. Therefore, in the next few years, we will be in a position in which every activity, including any law enforcement investigation, will have a digital forensics component."

Friends, I am running a logo contest and the results are in. Would you help me choose?
Friends, I am running a logo contest and the results are in. Would you help me choose?
Would you please take just a quick second to vote on your favorite logo?
It won't take long (maybe 1 minute) but your opinions can help me shape this company I'm working on.
The idea behind the website is to connect people who create or produce all sorts of videos with people and companies who need them made for personal and professional reasons and I am looking for a visual logo that best conveys that message. If you find one that you like best but think it needs a few small changes let me know!
It's totally cool if you share this with your friends, too. The more the merrier.
And thanks for your help!

All Businesses Benefit from Situational Awareness. Proper SWOT Analysis = Survival.
All Businesses Benefit from Situational Awareness. Proper SWOT Analysis = Survival.
"In Encyclopedia of Management Theory Eric Kessler wrote 'companies that keep analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats on a regular basis have 60 percent more chances to survive than the companies that don’t'."
At a minimum, SWOT is definitely worth your time; If your organization is not staying ahead, your competition is getting ahead.
