iTokk to offer Ads on Mobile Framework

iTokk has made important announcement as it is entering into mobile advertisement sector with new offer. Advertisement would be served to the users through its own network. The press release points to the fact that already 2011 advertisers have signed up for the services.

Mobile networks are the newest mediums to serve the ads to users. Generally people get the ads in the form of SMS and MMS these days. The value proposition is that user’s mobiles are fully capable of displaying colorful ads. Almost every third user has the phones which are internet enabled. The framework needs to make itself fully capable of delivering the content to phone users without charging them for data usages. In any case if a company pushes unsolicited content to any user, the data carrier charges must be compensated either by the offering company or by its clients.

Your phone would become a device like Fax machine which can be used by anyone to send and push the content to your device. Like decades before and even now, thousands of the people get advertisements delivered to them over the fax. The same way, mobile network operators and carriers are going to use the facilities of modern times.

Become a Celebrity with 7 Steps

There are many people including me who want to be celebrity.  A big question is How to become a celebrity? and that too easily without pain and hard work.

If you have talent of some kind, your talent may give you money but if you are looking for the fame then it is all together a different ball game. You can follow the 7 steps to become celebrity.  Here are the steps to glory and pride of being very famous.

Step #1.  Empty your mind.  Clear your mind from anything and everything you have known about the world. It would help you to learn the absurdity faster. Stop exercising the logic over everything.

Step #2.  Put some money aside. You have to invest into fame and name.

Step #3.  Find a PR agent who has been successful in creating the celebrities in the past. A PR agent would help you to arrange the interviews, would plant the stories about you in gossip magazines. In fact, he would suggest you the role as well.  A PR agent knows media and he knows what media needs from a would be celebrity.

Step #4.  Get into a very steamy scandal.  Even if you are nobody, a scandal can make you famous overnight.  Scandals are powerful medium when it comes to having the air-time booked on international news channels.  Nobody knew about Monika before the scandal. Nobody knew about many people who just made it to headlines and media loves them even now.

Step #5.  Start practicing to write apologies. You would need several of them in your celebrity career.

Step #6.  Learn to wear weirdest and craziest clothes in public.

Step #7. Learn to talk crap  and your speeches must not make any sense to the world. You would need to speak at many forums about different causes such as world peace and harmony. Learn to talk about them without making any sense. Always talk tall.

Follow these steps and you are on the way to becoming next blue-eyed poster boy for media and tabloids. You may get a tell-all book contract worth of billions and also contract to write and star in to a movie script as well.

Absurdity has power and you can use it to become successful.

Liked it? My two cents!

Tiger Woods Deserves Sympathy

Reading over the web and boards and media going crazy after the alleged affairs of Tiger Woods.  Give the guy a break! Media hounded him everywhere he went. It seems like the sin is not what he did but his celebrity status is one main reason why he is being put on the headlines.

Does his affair or affairs affect the game in anyways? No!. There are many people who have sinned many times more than him. He is being targeted because he is well known.  His privacy needs to be respected and let him have his moments of peace.  He has already apologized to his fans and the public in general.

A celebrity carries immense pressure in around his life. A person like Tiger Woods need to learn to maintain balance between the life and the game.  Everyone is not perfect and the world and media expects that a celebrity would be a balanced person.  Here is a question to media. Can media afford to have a balanced celebrity?  No!. Media and tabloids love scandals and a balanced celebrity is not something they would be interested in.

We must not be judgmental on the lives of other people while they have not harmed the world in anyways. There are several people who seem to be angry with Tiger Woods. It is beyond understanding why they are taking it too much personally while Tiger Woods have not affected them.

Tiger Woods deserves sympathy from his loyal fans and he must be welcomed to the game again. His golfing skills are still intact. A great player like him needs to play in future and there is no reason why he should not.

Britain’s New UFO Files 2010 available now

Britain has released new UFO files to public on 18th Feb, 2010. The files have more than 6000 pages and the details of the events from 1994 to 2000.

There are many interesting sketches and the stories of the UFO appearances.  Some of them really points the fact the British government seriously followed up the reported sightings. These are official records and come from ministry of defense.  There is no conclusion on the objects on the nature and what they were actually.

In the past, there are many governments who have made their UFO records public. And the public wants to know the truth. It is good sign that government is willing to share what it knows about UFOs.

These pages may still be having censored information and none can be sure that complete information has been shared.  Good sign that some of the information is available to analyze UFO data.

The question being debated is that why governments are disclosing information now. Is it sign of something coming to us? Any big admission from the governments that aliens are here now and deal with them.  Government knows better what is up to.

You can read the files online and make your own judgement what it was which was seen in the skies of Britain between 1994 to 2000.

Hiring is up in 2010

As economic problems are fading away the job market is more confident ever. There are many job portals which are reporting increased jobs being posted. As well many people are finding jobs again.

The hiring was frozen in many companies during the last year. Fewer companies hired last year. It was due to several factors which led to cuts in spendings. Big banks and financial institution faced problems with funds and several of them vanished for ever.

The consumer confidence is returning and many companies are preparing for new launches and offers in the market. The increased demand of the goods, items and services would require the people as well. That is what pushing the companies to hire more people.

There are many jobs which were not affected.  The companies which are hiring these days include the technology firms, airlines, consumer goods manufacturing units, construction, real estate and banking.

The demand of key skills is up and the people who were left out during last year have now several offers from the employers.

The appraisals and bonuses are back to main fold now. Companies have started rewarding the people for their efforts.  It is good to see now that hiring is picking up. There is no confirmed data on unemployment in US.  The numbers must be down if compared to last year.  Hiring in 2010 is going to be increased and there would remain the gaps in demand and supply for critical skills.

is climate change real?

There are many goofed up reports by an international body and recent admission of the facts that IPCCC presented a bad case for climate change, has pointed to the malformed basis of many claims.

The climate change may be man made up to fractions but largely it is not. This year’s cold weather has silenced many voices which were echoing that world is doomed due to climate change.

Logical reasons are available and it seems that natural cycle of earth is largely responsible for the climate change and it is not very predictable.  There were many arguments which were telling us that Himalayan Glaciers are going to vanish by 2030.  The claim is false and based upon here-say science and bad researched data.

The world needs to be convinced if anything such as climate change is occurring.

The science needs to separate itself from the fiction and sensational claims.  The problem arises when a scientific body indulges itself into daydreaming and claiming to be the accurate with the fiction.

Climate change may be real or just somebody’s cooked up story. The issue needs to be addressed with serious efforts and international groups needs to own the responsibilities of having accurate data.

It really pains to see when a a body like of IPCCC mixes up fiction with science and presented as the scientific findings and lying to the world and making the governments believe that they need to act upon their unfounded claims.
