Twitter for Busy People


twitterbusy.pngIf you thought twitter was simple enough tool to use, here is a great tool that will simplify your twitter usage even more. It’s called Twitter for Busy People.

It displays the twitter updates of your friends according to the Last Hour, Last Day and More than 1 Day (ago) messages.

Time difference is a major issue in Twitter, most of the time you will miss the tweets of the people you are following who are on the other side of the globe, this is especially true when you are following many people. With this above mentioned tool, it almost solves this problem.

michael jackson is rich again


following mj’s death, his album sales soared again. on Amazon it filled every spot on top10 bestselling music list (actually it filled all the way to 15th spot). it was the same on iTunes store (filling all the way to 9th spot). unfortunately all these money is of no benefit to him anymore, if not to his children.

However you can read the whole book online for free at www.brucejudson.com. Judging by the reviews at Amazon it seems a good book. Perhaps it can give you some idea or motivation to start your own business.

Global Recession Status, Visualized


recession_map.pngClick the image for an interactive map showing each country’s economic condition. Countries that are in recession are in red color. Even the growing economies (green color) like China and India have been hit hard by this crisis.

Lets hope that the global economy will start to recover by the end of this year, and hopefully see a steady growth in 2010.

MIT goes Open Source


mitcoursesfree.pngMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is one of the top academic institutions in the world. How about learning what MIT students are learning but for free?

MIT’s open source project called OpenCourseWare was setup to provide MIT’s lectures for free. Currently there are about 1,900 courses available on the portal. Lectures contain all the necessary files and some of the lectures include audio and video content. It will be like distance learning, you just sit at home and watch the lectures of MIT on your PC. If you are a good self-learner, you can benefit a lot from this portal.

I am particularly interested in the Sloan School of Managment section which covers topics like Management, Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Strategy etc.

There are many other universities that have similar programs like MIT’s OCW; Yale, Berkeley, Tufts, Stanford etc. But I see that MIT has the most complete archive of their lectures online.

So, enjoy the free education!
