Dear readers, I am totally overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of fake news and pseudo-science publications, news, and social media posts, amidst this global health crisis due to Covid-19. I believe that the knowledge generated by Big Data is the proper scientific answer to misinformation and propaganda. Read the graphs in real time, evaluate your sources, think, understand and filter out the noise and nonsense. Here's a list of valid sources to better track all the news and monitor your understanding of this virus: Coronavirus Live Updates :  https://ncov2019.live/?fbclid=IwAR2FVQM7Hr_iGGDod_bQsblgn--xmN-R7ukuvMHcJYrQ1spbB7LhZ-hgjag Coronavirus is our Future :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fqw-9yMV0sI&fbclid=IwAR3nWroGRZl1aK7jeuc9U23M0QGGZtWKky8X6bXDTo0klj19AA1DBPczHPs A visual history of pandemics :  https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/a-visual-history-of-pandemics?fbclid=IwAR1gtkCgUOa19iZK0KviMa3rxj0borxb10Nt4wxdzGkYmuq6FRdPxrL2PHw word...

Please introduce yourself to the readers of this blog and update us on your latest business endeavors Hi Stathis, My name is Bruce Bixler, seven years ago I lost my job. Everyone told me to get on LinkedIn. I got on LinkedIn and nothing happened. Went to several LinkedIn workshops and the only thing the speakers told us was how to set up a profile. I wanted to know HOW to use it. So I started doing my own presentations to show others how to use LinkedIn. I did land a job but kept on learning everything I could about LinkedIn. I started to get paid for my presentations and workshop. Now that I'm at retirement age I want to transition into doing LinkedIn full time and quit my regular retail job. Why have you focused specifically on Linkedin compared to other social media platforms available? I focused on LinkedIn because it was the most professional digital platform and it intrigued me the most. LinkedIn does not broadcast all it's changes so you have to either find it ...

Please introduce yourself to the reader of this blog and update us on your latest endeavors. I started my company in social media when I was 24. I had then gone from studying entrepreneurship to working at the University in Kristiansand with Entrepreneurship that I thought it was time that I actually started a company myself. Having lived alone since I was 14 you could say that I in some ways always has been an entrepreneur but I hadn't yet formed a company. I could see the future of communication being social media. And this was at a time where companies would not have anything to do with Facebook or did not believe it would have anything to do with them at all. And of course they just thought I was stupid when I told them that it would be their prime communication tool with users. I started approaching companies with my new formed social media company and sold services that at that time made them stand very much out from the crowd in social media. I also did public speaking to...

There was a recent buzz & presentation over online media for the new Myspace design & functionality. Now this is no news. Myspace is struggling to regain its dominant (?) position it once enjoyed (back in 2003). This time though, web journalists are reporting something good back. Something very promising & versatile. Don't forget that Myspace is an online platform featuring millions of tracks from indie & mainsteam artists. Therefore, its owners have persisted that this rich Intellectual Property has to be diffused upon the masses (old & present users) with innovative new design & functionalities. “ The Internet just became boring ,” COO Chris said to a panel of journalists. '' There was nothing fun anymore … I want to make it fun to use MySpace .” Other managers reported that the new Myspace is now a new product. The new design sparks emotion for the fans, the artists, its users overall. The new Myspace is also a bet & a challenge for we...
