In the online world, your domain serves as your online address. Even if you give your website a fresh coat of design, choosing an incorrect, spammy domain name may result in you losing clients even before they visit your website. But if you do it right, your address invites guests to enter and remain for a while. Starting with the address bar, it instills a professional image and polish. This is why you need the perfect domain name.
“Some people dream of success, while other people get up every morning and make it happen.” — Wayne Huizenga
I really appreciate that quote. I truly believe your morning habits set the stage for the remainder of the day. For example, if you keep hitting snooze until you realize that you’re running late, how do you think the rest of your day will be? You all “get it.” You all “know.” But, do you DO the actions that support the habits you know to be correct?
The initial phases of developing a startup come with a host of choices to be made. Among the most important and costly is deciding where you are going to get your computing power from. While most people automatically run to industry standards like Google, Amazon, Rackspace, or IBM SmartCloud to meet their…
When a new hire goes rogue or fails to meet expectations, employers are often blind to their role in the failure. Instead of asking, “Could I have better supported my employee?” they instead say, “I hated to do it, but I had to let Suzie go” or “I had to put Bill on probation.” We erroneously have a habit of…

TimePanther is a time tracking utility that is tailor-made for freelancers and independent workers. It will enable them to create as many projects for client as they need, and use a series of timers to keep track of the time they are devoting to each of them. And the priority of each can be adjusted manually, as it is possible to organize everything using a drag and drop interface. Timers can be sorted by project, and projects can be sorted by client. Time can start being tracked in a click, and it can be stopped tracked in another.
And a really interesting feature is that TimePanther comes with a calculator for determining exactly how much you should be earning. This calculator works in real time, and it will let you have a ready understanding of how your efforts are translating into an income.
The site is in beta as of the time of writing this, and everything is available for free to all users. When the site moves out of beta, though, some (advanced) features such as being able to generate invoices and integrating the service with BaseCamp will be available only to paying users.
What goes into having a high-performing website? Is there a strategy that would work out time and again? Well, this site answers these questions in as much of an understandable way as possible. Book Of Speed is a new collaborative resource aiming to shed some light on what it takes for a website to be successful. Everybody can narrate his own experiences, and contribute his own insight for all to see here.
This collaborative book is made of different chapters that explain how to lay out and combine al the different components that a page can have, and also how to optimize everything once it is into position. Right now, on this site you will learn how to optimize images, CSS, Javascript and Ajax. And as the book itself keeps on growing and new chapters are added then the list can but increase both in depth and in scope.
And remember, that is ultimately up to you. If you are knowledgeable when it comes to anything that has to do with having a better-performing website, then simply add your own insight to BookOfSpeed.com. Think of all the people you will be helping.
The ultimate treat for those who aspire to become the new John Petrucci or Carlos Santana, this site offers a live stream of guitar-related content. On Guitar.tv everything from live performances and lessons to interview with luminaries is provided, 24/7.
Steve Vai is actually behind this site (he devised it with tech guy/musician Andy Alt). In nine out of ten cases, that might as well be all the encouragement an aspiring guitarists needs to give the site a try. I mean, who can know the kind of content guitarists want to sample and experience better than a master performer like Steve Vai?
The site itself is designed like a guitar, and by clicking on its strings you will be able to learn more about the content that is being played on Wikipedia, and also get a link to buy it online at places like Amazon and the iTunes store.
All in all, quite a professional-looking site that also has the content to go with its slick layout. If you play the instrument (or have just begun taking classes), missing it is unthinkable.
Looking for a fast and effective way to track the performance of your web campaigns? Well, take a good look at this site. It will let you do that by using an easy-to-understand dashboard that can monitor the goals you have set down, for every single campaign that you are running.
The provided graphs and indicators will let you know which combinations of channels, ads and landing pages are turning out to be more productive. And you will get to know that in real time – the statistics which are provided by Replo update second by second, right as changes are taking place and customers are reacting to what you are offering.
Implementing Replo is as simple as cutting and pasting just one line of code into your website. Everything will become trackable right there and then, and you will (hopefully) be able to identify the best marketing strategies for any product that is proving to be a markedly hard sell.
Stella is the newest tools for developers that want to ensure the applications they have created are up to scratch. Using Stella, monitoring the performance of their apps (and debugging them) becomes a really effortless task. Stella can take care of looking at how any web app is working, and notify the developer the moment any serious slow down or outage is affecting it.
The overall response time of the site, the amount of time it takes for a connection with the server to be made, conflicting http headers… all these can be checked out simply by providing the URL of the site in question.
Stella can be used for one-off checkups, and also for ongoing monitoring. Four different plans are provided in the latter case. And in addition to letting developers do all that using a provided web interface, Stella can be used by installing the provided bookmarklet. This makes for running checkups from a toolbar, in an even more direct way.
TimeOP stands as a business intelligence tool that will let any team leader or manager understand the actual degree of involvement of his subordinates in real time, and determine the right way to keep that up (if it is satisfactory) or begin making adjustments (if it is not).
TimeOP can serve all the performance indicators a manager would need to learn in which senses his team still has some way to go, and the whole process is made simpler by the creation (and delivery) of reports that measure real time activity. Plus, sentiment analysis can also be performed. All the variables that have a weight on the way someone works are given equal projection, then.
And the best thing about TimeOP might as well be that there is almost no data to be inputted. It uses a desktop tracker that collects the necessary data as the different team members are working, and has it sent to the TimeOP servers. So, everything is measurable not only in real time but also automatically.
If you want to launch your own site, you have a lot of research to do. It’s the same as opening a store anywhere. You will have a good look around beforehand, and see: A) Which other stores are near, B) How well-presented they are, and how competently the personnel do their jobs, and C) How much they are charging. Well, Clear Web Stats does that for websites.
You can input the name of any site that you will be pitched against, and you will see how many visits it receives, and how many sites are linking back to it. You can even get an estimate of how much the site is earning, and how much the site is worth on the whole.
Carrying out a search is done by entering the URL of the site in question sans the “http://”, and without any kind of subdomain. The results will be displayed right in front of your eyes and they will also remain visible on the homepage, in the section that is named “Newly Added Sites”.

CloudFlare offers a series of optimization services that can be applied by any webmaster who want to bring his site into a whole new league.

As a service, CloudFlare is usable by just any person who has his own website and his own domain. A free plan is provided for users to get into the swing of things, and if they like what they see they can go for either the “Pro” or “Enterprise” plan.

Granola is a software solution that will let both Windows and Linux users optimize the way that energy is being employed, without compromising the performance of their actual desktops or laptops. This not only lets users save money when they have to pay their bills at the end of the month, but it also plays a true role in the reduction of carbon emissions.
From a technical point of view, what this power management solution does is to match the energy that is being consumed to the actual load on the system.

A tool that will be highly appealing to managers, Workforce Growth will let them have the performance of their entire workforce analyzed. Using this web-based application, managers and executives alike can see how different teams and departments are performing in a visual way, and project-based reviews are executed with great smoothness.
And the fact that review templates can be used is also a good touch. For example, these templates will let you take care of mid-year company performance reviews.
When it comes to scrutinizing the results of any review it is interesting to note that the answers of employees can be analyzed by more than one manager, and also by other team members for even more precision. And it is also important to mention that these team members that have been reviewed can leave a comment on the test as a whole, and also on individual questions.
Additionally, the option to take notes and have them displayed in the next review cycle is one that wraps the whole application up more than satisfactorily. These notes can be sent via SMS or by sending out an email to [email protected].

eXaudios is a company that hails from Israel, and whose new product has begun to attract the attention of many. Named MagInify, we can term it a software whereby the mood and disposition of any person who is making a call can be determined.
This technology can be used in two main areas: contact centers and job interviews. In the first case, the software makes for spending less time on non-interested customers and (consequently) focusing on these deals that can effectively be closed. In the second case, the degree of motivation and involvement of a candidate towards a specific job can be analyzed, and his/her suitability for the position in question can be more easily determined. That would reduce recruitment mistakes significantly, as any person’s loyalty and ability to work as part of a team could be figured out in advance.
In actuality, there are as many more uses for a technology like this one as you could imagine. For example, law enforcement agencies could use it as part of investigations as a lie detectors substitute. And the fact that the system is effective from the first interaction (EG, no historic voice data is required to get going) certainly tip the scales in its favor.
