What’s the Buzzzzzz?
Posted by: | CommentsWondering what’s Google doing/thinking nowadays? I got a feeling that they’re trying to kill Twitter & Facebook to start with. Really ambitious eyh? Well, they have the tools and resources to do such hence, it won’t be far-fetch.
Anyway, just a few days ago Google introduced Google Buzz. What does HR in general got to do with this Buzz? Well, it’s not for everyone folks but for those who loves networking, crowdsourcing and those recruiters who wanted to take advantage. Remember the first mover advantage? I guess you need to be on-board ASAP for you to reap the rewards folks.
In summary, this new Google featured called Buzz just act like Twitter and Facebook status updates – though Twitter can’t paste pictures! Would you be enticed on creating a new account for this new social networking contraption? No need to exert worthless effort since this feature is already embedded in your Gmail accounts, but that of course if you already have a Gmail Account.
Now, how’s the response? Actually, just awhile ago Google Buzz Surpasses 9 Million Posts and Comments. In fact, I’m obsessed with it right now – yet another tool to waste time in the office.
In summary, this new feature is built to kill a few tool/features out there offered by other service providers of which HR pros can also take advantage. It might take time for you to figure out how to exploit its features and reap the rewards thereby hitting your ROI, but mind you building a massive follower/list would be a good start using your brand.
Anyway, do check us out from time to time because I’ll be providing you a few tips on how to exploit it..

Yahoo! Scam: Cutomer Care Satisfaction Survey
Posted by: | CommentsIs the screen shot for real? Is Yahoo! behind this? That I doubt..
Actually, I received this email -customer care satisfaction survey, just awhile ago. It came from my Yahoo! email account.

If you’re to look at its content and BRANDING for sure you won’t be having seconds thoughts on giving your private info, but watch out because this ploy did not came from Yahoo! but from someone who’s only interest is hacking your email….

What happens when you don’t walk the talk?
Posted by: | CommentsAccording to reports, “A former military dog handler who’d worked at PetSmart for 18 months — didn’t want his 3-year-old Belgian Malinois, Gizmo, to be home alone all day and all night. So he put Gizmo in the store’s doggie day care facility” – MSNBC
Now, what happens two weeks later? They fired Eric Favetta for “theft of service.” Ouch!
You can actually read the complete news here.
If you’re to look at PetSmart’s motto – “We love to see healthy, happy pets”, seems appealing right? But apparently the promise doesn’t apply to pets belonging to employees. I can’t seem to bargain my APBT “Duke” for this kind of Company – though he has bitten someone just a few days ago.
On the other hand, is consistency not part of your BRAND building? Now, what happens when you don’t walk the talk?
“PetSmart eventually offered Favetta his job back and a transfer to another store.”
Now that’s stupidity! Why? Because PetSmart spokeswoman Jessica White defended the company’s decision, saying the doggie daycare service is a huge part of PetSmart’s business and yet they’ve offered him his job back….
