Benefiting from your competition

Competition is great. It keeps you sharp; it keeps you efficient and gives you a framework from which you evaluate your own actions. Why do we need competition and why is that really good?

Tag People not s***!

Oh yes great!

Tag people everywhere. I don’t mind – come on – tag me!

And oh hahaha – it’s so funny to tag “stuff” with people’s name – until…

…until you need to verify your account. For example because you want to download your data from facebook – or because you have lost your password. Then you will get presented with pictures of something – and you need to identify the people behind it. Great if it’s actually a face – not so great if it’s just joke-tagging and you get denied access to your account.

Facebook really has to change this and run a face-detection test before presenting the pictures.

1. Use pictures instead of words

2. Don’t use bullet points

3. Use no more than six words per slide

Tools for online collaboration that I work with everyday

Tool 1: Gmail

Gmail is the best email client and email provider I know. The usability is unrivaled. In all the time that I have used it, I had only experience a quarter of an hour when Gmail was not reachable. It is very flexible; you can change it around so it fits your needs. For example, I use gmail with my own domain. I use a google apps mail account that works like gmail, and instead of having @gmail.com, I have @seriousmarketing.de. Furthermore, this also allows me to supply email addresses and google apps accounts to all my employees.
