TIME: Timing is Everything
“Timing is everything” as they say. The typical day consists of 24 hours, where of which we spend anywhere between 6-8 hours of sleep, 2-3 hours eating, 2-4 hours commuting, and 1-2 hours maintaining ourselves, which means we…

Apps Search Engine: appsandoranges.com for any OS / Device
Apps are easy to come by, but hard to remember when you need them. Interestingly enough appsandoranges.com caters to those who are in need of an app regardless of platform OS or device, with a large database of various apps and a voting system for the preferred app it makes it pretty easy to find your solution.
Appsandoranges.com provides a unique experience to users leveraging the ability to browse, search and choose. To top it off their search feature narrows it down by category (i.e. to do, video editing). The service is currently in beta, but nonetheless it is a system that works and is based on community contributions.
Appsandoranges.com makes it easy for users to locate and store information in a public way for users of iphones, pc, ipads, macs and android devices to search for the purpose of applications. The user interface is easy to understand and fluid when used, providing an uninterrupted user experience, (yes that means no adds).
Here is an example of a contribution by me:
Suggestions for appsandoranges.com: incorporate a free label. It become tiersome after sometime to find an app and learn of a fee attached to the service. The smoother the search the quicker the decision the more inclined a person is to review, rank, and add additional apps to the repository. Don't drive users away from your page... when clicking on an app link to go to the app homepage, that window should be in a new window/tab.
Expect this site to take off in the near future...
The power of WYSIWYG Technology: Weebly
What the heck is WYSIWYG? To put it simply: What You See Is What You Get. WYSIWYG technology empowers an individual with the tools and ability to create a website almost as if it were a Powepoint or Publisher Document. There are some minor things that you need to learn along the way, such as meta tagging and the like, but nothing that a youtube video or google can't help you with.
Considering the ease of being able to change the way you're online, by having a professional online presence, WYSIWYG creates that transition for you in an extremely simplified process. The fact is that when people say that they are searchable online, the categories of being indexed vary today, ranging from social networks, to linkedin profiles, to yelp/manta pages. Depending on the type of individual and presence you are looking to create online, a website goes hand-in-hand with any of these online profile mediums.
The premier solution in my opinion so far that has provided an array of tools is weebly. Weebly says it best:
"Content elements (like text, photos, maps, and videos) are added to your website by simply dragging & dropping them into place. Text is edited just like in a word processor. Building your website is done in real time, right from within your web browser. There's absolutely nothing to install and no upgrades to worry about." OR in short... "Web Creation Made Easy"
Most importantly its FREEEEE! and they take out all the grunt work that goes alone with putting a website up, including hosting and publishing. And they don't ask for a Credit Card either! oooh!!! They're signup process only involves, Name, Email, & Password.
After making my own site on it, I have to say if you can put together a powerpoint or publisher page, even if it's ugly, then weebly can definitely help you to sharpen those skills and bring out the intricate artist within you. If you're still in doubt, then take a look at the page I put together and see for yourself: Zoheb Zee Patel's Portfolio. I'm open to feedback so don't be shy about commenting.
If you're still not convinced on how easy it is to build a website with weebly watch their video:
Just to Wrap it up take a lookie loo at the features of weebly:
*100+ Professional Themes *Powerful Hosting
*Fast & Helpful Support *Easy Blogging
*Photo Galleries & Slideshows *Video & Audio Players
*Easy Form Builder *Weebly ImagePerfect
*Detailed Traffic Stats *Free Domain Hosting
*No Forced Advertising *Search Engine Optimized
*E-commerce Features *Automatic Mobile Sites
*Password-protected pages *Full HTML/CSS Control
Given what Weebly has to offer, there are plenty of other WYSIWYG services out there and each service will differ from user to user. Depending on the user's needs, you will need to research the variety and complexity for plugins, extensions, widgets etc... depending on what kind of functionality you expect from your website.

Next Generation Resumes
Resumes are often seen as being a basic tool for job-seekers to simply get the foot in the door for in an interview... the rest if charm and luck... or is it?
Resumes are depiction of an individual, where a person delineates there background, experiences, skills and capabilities. But providing that type of information is contingent upon the individuals ability to provide a complete picture and excite their future employer. The percentage of these types of resumes is below 10%, and that too varies from field to field. With traditional resumes, you stipulate your ability to insult your future employer and their ability to recruit quality human resources...
Evolution and Darwin's theory of... "survival of the fittest", is very much alive and kicking today. Resumes are no challenger to the theory, and are a perfect example of resistance to change. In today's world, employers are no longer looking to hire the same individual who was able to climb up the corporate ladder at a previous company, or was able to increase profits and marginals returns at another. What they are rather looking for is vibrant individuals who are capable of bringing on a fresh perspective to the way people can visually display their TALENTS.

Creating your own brand image, has become a difficult task, and is part of raising the stakes for the piece of pie several un-employed individuals are struggling for.

Developing your online presence provides quite a few benefits to your online audience, as well as your future employer.

widgetbox.com: A place to discover the ease of creating widgets and mobile web apps, and rich media ads with no coding experience. It's worth the test drive.
Widgetbox
When navigating a website, it's all about the user experience. Finding and looking for ways to engage the user to browse throughout your website is all dependent on how well you can create content that is worth reading and being viewed. While building this blog, one of the primary concerns i had was having a twitter feed for users to view my tweets, or even view the people I follow on twitter.
So I tried looking up different ways to embed a twitter feed... All efforts went in vain. and even when I tried to get it to work, it just wouldn't show up in the right area. HUMPH!!! It's was frustrating...
After all my efforts, I chose to use widgetbox.com, a site that allows you to create widgets, mobile apps, and design ads for a variety of platforms. The process was a breeze. Before even signing up, widgetbox.com let me create my widget and customize it and make all the necessary changes to have my widget be color coordinated with my site.
Just to give you an idea of what the process looked like and how easy it was take a look at the screenshots below...
Needless to say, I finished designing my widget in a matter of minutes, and didn't even have to do any endless searches for any problems I was facing.
The goal at the end of the day was to create, customize and implement.
The tough part needless to say was putting it into this blog, which required a little work and the aligning of it, I still don't know yet... (Another piece on aligning widgets and plugins will be posted later.)
I was quite pleased with the process, and found it to be rewarding to see my work being publishable quality. Even going back to make micro changes was a breeze, it required me just to go to the dashboard select the widget I created and presto!
[pic of dashboard and micro-editing process:]
After creating the widget, the next step was embeding it in, and me and html are like long lost foes.... we talk, play, and poke each other but we just can't get along. With a pinch of salt, I had to take a step into the html of my blog page just so I could put it in.... Tough part was understanding the difference between using javascript and flash. I tried using javascript first and yeah, it didn't turn out too well, the widget endedup at the top of the page, totally unprofessional for my standards and not even close to where I wanted it to be. So I tried flash next, and voila! it came close to the are that I wished for it to be in but still not all beautiful and pretty as how I would like it to be. But nonetheless you take what little you can and move on.
Widgetbox's service IMO is great, even though I was using a 14-day trial, I was able to take advantage of the full functionality of the website, no subscribe or upgrade messages throughout the process. An easy in-n-out.
To top it off, widgetbox offers value-added services in addition to the widget creation, pulling statistics of the number of impressions and views your widget has received. Quite a useful tool if you're trying to see whether or not you're poking people's interests.
Take a look:
Needless to say widgetbox has standardized a complex process into a few simple and easy steps. Isn't that what we all want?
Stay tuned for learning to align a widget....
