I was intrigued by the teaser for the IEEE- USA Today’s Engineer story “The Real Steel: Robotics Careers Ready to Boom”. It cited a market research report that claimed there would be 1 million new jobs added due to the robotics industry over the next 5 years. Many of these jobs will come from obvious sources like [...] Continue reading →

This week, the Oregon members of my organization within HR had a big moment: we moved. From a small leased building with a few hundred employees, no cafe, and parking right outside the door to a large, redesigned building with … Continue reading → Continue reading →

In my last blog, I introduced the concept of vectorization, which is parallelism across data elements in a register inside a single CPU core. It’s a topic that I am very excited about this year, and in this blog I will expand on the subject to address what types of applications can take advantage of [...] Continue reading →

LinkedIn may have started out being a place for job-seeking professionals to find connections and new employment, but it is now also a powerful marketing tool for businesses. It’s an incredible resource that gives you worldwide exposure for your company. LinkedIn is about connections. With more than 2 million businesses, LinkedIn is a powerful way to network and meet people relevant to your business and professional needs.

Businesses of all sizes always want new clients. Once your business has a business page created, you, and other employees in your company, start building exposure for your company by reconnecting, or linking, with people you already know. This is done by sending an ‘invitation to connect.’ These people can be from any part of life – past clients, past colleagues, high school, college, current and past associations, groups, fields of interest, and so on. As they connect with you, you will be able to identify others you’d like to connect with. You can do that directly, or ask for an introduction from a current connection, depending on the type of relationship.

Either way, you want to have your ‘handshake’ ready (basically your electronic elevator speech, short, sweet, and simple.) Tell the person why…

Facebook started in 2004 as a social network directory for college students, but now it’s used by all ages. It’s still a great tool for personal connections, but it’s also powerful for businesses wanting to stay in touch with their audience and attract new customers.

Facebook has millions of users and continues to grow every day. Businesses of all sizes access the power of Facebook by creating a ‘page.’ The page has different functionality from the common ‘profile’ that is created for an individual. Think of the Facebook business page as a small-scale combination website and blog because you can have static information as well as real-time comments posted to the ‘wall’ (acts like a company bulletin board) of your page.

A page’s audience is built …

Like a complicated puzzle, it’s always tough to figure out where to start when you are planning your internet marketing campaign. There’s Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, websites, and blogs. That’s a lot of things going on at the same time.
So where does one start and with what? The easiest answer to this, of course, is to start at the beginning. Once you’ve built your platform, your customers will then be able to begin finding you.

The first place to start is a website and a blog, but before you can do that (I wasn’t kidding when I talked about it being a complicated puzzle) you need to sit down and everyone on your team needs to agree on a few things which will become the foundation of your company’s platform including:

By now, most everyone has at least heard about Twitter. You either understand its value or you don’t. For some people – like my mother who is retired and reads books when she’s not out shopping with her friends, Twitter is not something she is interested in – for her it serves no purpose.

For businesses, however, who are trying to sell something or get the word out on a new product, Twitter can be an invaluable way to reach many people quickly.

So, what exactly is Twitter? It’s a free social networking and micro-blogging site that allows you to be heard in the Twitter universe. If you look at some of the tweets in your Twitter stream, you’ll read posts like “Ughh, there’s no coffee, guess I need to go out in my slippers to get some LOL†which, as a business, you can ignore. There’s very little value in a tweet like that.

But then there are tweets, like the following, that you just might go out of your way to pay attention to….(Read more….)

As attributed to Freud, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. When it comes to the future of data as explored by Intel Futurist Brian David Johnson, and Intel General Manager Compute Continuum Peter Biddle, sometimes a fire hydrant signifies more than a fire hydrant.
