Instant Messaging also proves its worth as an alternative to
long-distance telephone service for small business owners who need to
communicate with clients in real-time. Many IM platforms are free to use or
try, and for paid services, there are no per-minute charges.
The Instant Messenger (IM) that I like to use
most frequently would be the Apple iMessage because it comes with the phone and
a lot of people that I know have the same brand of phone so the data that is
being sent looks the same on everyone’s device and there are no weird
interpretations of the happy face emoji.

Instant Messaging (IM)
Instant Messaging is real-time, like a telephone
conversation, but there can also be a text record of the exchange, like with
email messages, so it can function like a quick conference call that allows
employees to remain at their desks. Sometimes face-to-face meetings and more
formal communication are what is needed but Instant Messaging can help in other ways.
Skype
Skype may be best known for its free video chat, but the
company is also a provider of inexpensive VoIP services. While its pricing is
hard to beat, Skype’s affordability is indicative of the service’s overall
functionality and very basic set of calling features. You are also limited to
making internet calls using your computer as a softphone, or installing the app
on your smartphone.
The quality of sound with VoIP isn't as good as on a
landline or mobile. If you are using a webcam the sound quality deteriorates. There
is frequently background noise and the service can be subject to drop-outs. It’s
light on features, lacking call return, call blocking and most important, 911
calling ability.
But despite its bare-bones feature set, Skype’s service
plans include all the features we looked for in the best VoIP providers. You
can keep your current phone number or select a new one with an area code of
your choosing, even if you don’t reside there. This VoIP service provides
select international calling and unlimited minutes, depending on which of its
plans you choose. You can also purchase minutes at a reduced rate.
LinkedIn is a professional social media network, where users
create profiles highlighting current and prior work experience. You can upload
resumes, connect with colleagues and classmates and build a network that can
help you advance in your career.
I would say that a site like this is an upgrade from a job site
like monster.com where the employers have all the information that they need in
order for them to function. Well I’m seeing LinkedIn as the reverse and for the
employer instead of the employee but being flexible enough for many different
kinds of connections.
The LinkedIn network is unlike Twitter and
Facebook. Twitter, for instance, lacks profile depth and Facebook features many
demographics of users and offers limited search functions. With LinkedIn, you
create an in-depth professional profile, and user information is standardized
by education, profile headlines, profile experience and your company allowing
you to use this site to the fullest.

Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Current Hardcore History -
Hardcore History 55 – Blueprint for Armageddon VI
The episode that I decided to listen to was the 6th
and final installment of the series. I took the untraditional approach and
started at the end of the series. With this being the last part in the series
it shows Germany throwing everything into a last series of stupendous attacks
in the West while hoping to avoid getting burned by a fire in the East that
they’d help fan. If that sounds action packed you’re right. The only crazy thing
about that is this is actual history of what happened in the second world war. Things
were so bad that it was seen as an Apocalyptical/Armageddon type of event,
hence the name of the podcast. This is a mixture of different exerts being read
from people fighting the war along with the historical facts to give a frame
for the story.
It begins with President of the United States Franklin
Delano Roosevelt stating that this Dec 7, 1941 will be a day to remember. It then
goes into different presidents and perspectives from around the world. This was
the day of the attack at Pearl Harbor.
The podcast then goes into the differences between Nuclear weapons
vs. Biological
I left this podcast feeling a bit sad just thinking about
all the lives that have been and will be lost.
This episode also talked about the Botched implementation
of Carl Marks’s thoughts that were manipulated by Vladimir Lennon executed by
Eric Ludendorff. Marks being the originator, Lennon being the implementer and the
facilitator Eric Ludendorff being the leader of the German military.http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-55-blueprint-for-armageddon-vi/
