Google is killing off its URL shortener for Firebase Dynamic Links

What LaserDisc Can Teach You About Product Timing & Positioning

Alec Watson of Technology Connections Discusses What Went Wrong with LaserDisc TM as a Product What the heck is LaserDisc TM ? If you were born before 1970 and maybe lived in Japan you may have heard about LaserDisc TM . Well, not completely true but somewhat. After stumbling upon Technology Connection 's video, they made some great points for you to learn about product positioning and market timing. In the following video, Alec from Technology Connections explains how LaserDisc TM failed because of three issues - market timing (coming after VHS/Beta - another product saga), market behavior (people watched movies at Theaters vs. Home) and market positioning (watch movies at home vs record shows to watch later). Many can point to this product failure which eventually launched DVDs as a success, but also content availability (licensing) also sank this product.

Eight Actions to be an Exceptional Listener

Image
By Stacey Hanke Most people consider themselves to be good listeners, finding it hard to admit otherwise. We know listening is vital to building strong relationships with coworkers, managers, clients, and leadership. In fact, it is considered to be the single most important communication skill necessary, valued more highly than speaking, in the business world. We spend between 70 to 80% of each day engaged in communication, with over half that time devoted to listening, and yet we struggle to do it effectively. Because we hear speech at a rate of 500-1000 words per minute, and only speak 125-175 words per minute, we become easily bored, distracted and inattentive. By recognizing listening as a skill necessary to establish and grow business relationships, we can begin prioritizing our need to do it well.  Here are eight ways to immediately stop talking and start listening: 1.     “My Turn, My Turn!” Admit it, when others start speaking you immediately begin thinking o

Fortigis – an #AI Driven Security Router

Image
(New York, NY)  –  March 21, 2018  –   Fortigis Inc. , today announced the launch of Fortigis, a cloud-enabled privacy & security wireless Virtual Private Network (VPN) router that patrols and controls who connects to a user’s Wi-Fi network. The  Indiegogo  campaign for Fortigis, which is being managed by the  Launchpad Agency , has a funding goal of $50,000 USD, and features limited Super Early Bird Specials of $199 as well as several other rewards for backers. Fortigis uses a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to provide users online privacy and anonymity by creating a secure and private network.  The secure connection encrypts all of the user’s incoming and outgoing web traffic so no one can trace their online activity, protecting them against identity theft, ad targeting and having their online transactions such as online shopping or banking hijacked. Through the secure VPN connection, Fortigis connects to a security cloud powered by a patent-pending, AI-driven adaptive s

Why You Need to Stop Talking to Start Leading

Image
Rebecca Teasdale Shares How to Create a Culture of Openness and Candor Photo courtesy of Pablo by Buffer By Rebecca Teasdale Recently, a colleague and I were at a dinner function with a group of leaders from a client company. We found ourselves seated at a table with a new member of the executive team who we were meeting for the first time. Waiting for the plated meals to arrive, we eased into the conversation with small talk about sports and weather and then we went deeper inquiring about his family, his career, his thoughts on the industry. When the dinner wrapped up 45 minutes later, my colleague and I had learned a lot about him. We had learned about his years working abroad, his days as a partner at an IT consulting firm, and his time on Wall Street. Yet, he had learned nothing about me or my colleague. In 45 minutes of conversation, he hadn’t asked either of us a single question. Sadly, this common, self-absorbed style of relating has reached new, alarming levels
