Twitter isn't safe from spam - yet

For a while, it seemed as though the spammers hadn't quite cottoned on to Twitter. However, it looks like that's all change now. Not content with clogging up email inboxes, social networking profiles and blog comment sections, spammers have figured out a way to irritate dedicated Tweeters too - but Twitter is already busily searching for a solution.
 

Popular tech news site TechCrunch reports that Loic Le Meur - CEO of Seesmic, creator of Twitter desktop clients Twhirl and Seesmic Desktop - has proposed a "report as spam" button on his desktop clients.
Acting as a flagging device, the button could allow the applications to ban clients as spammers following a specific number of complaints - after a check to ensure that this is the case. There are already a number of Twitter applications designed to help users flag spam Tweets but so far none of them are attached to desktop clients.
 

Currently, spammers merely need to employ the reply to username function to fill the timelines of individual Tweeters with unwanted junk. But if Le Meur's button proves successful and other popular Twitter clients, such as Tweetdeck and Tweetie, hop on board, blocking abusers could be a significantly smoother process.
At the moment, Twitter asks for spam complaints to be sent directly to its spam account "@spam" and users have to be following the spam account to be able to log a complaint. While fully eradicating spam is possibly nothing more than a pipe dream, any step towards alleviating the problem is a welcome one - and a potentially lucrative one. 

If Le Meur's propositions aren't successful you can be sure that someone else will have a stab at stopping the stream of spam - maybe even Twitter itself.

In Hungary, there is no future in teleworking?

Image via Wikipedia

Hungary over the past several hundred years, read the press published news of the benefits of teleworking. The future could see all this, but one year has elapsed after the other and still do not have anywhere in the big 'boom' of the tele. What is the reason that this area is one of the Hungarian toporog labor market? 7 reasons, which are unable to overcome, and nearly 400,000 employees, who expect big breakthroughs. To no avail?

"The future will be the key to the success of telework" - these and similar news in the last few years were filled with the Hungarian labor press, but you can see the labor market can hardly be considered "a huge explosion," or "all-the vast masses of teleworking."

The tele-off recorded in the background of the entire labor market has been affected by the economic crisis as well, but the real reasons to do this is not the case.

As a result, the real reasons why the Hungarian employers still refuses to face the possibility of tele-employment:
X = normal employment costs; tele =?

The labor market surveys for small and medium-sized enterprises is part of the background of economic instability due to the cost of the average employment over the longer term can not even calculated.
The costs involved in telework is not finished. Therefore, a common example is when the contractor's company, the homes have a go, and then 1-2 months later abandon it. According to experts, this can only be precise to avoid the budgetary framework and guidelines.

Why do not you ask?
The budget for the setting up of tele-work as well as the motivation and reporting techniques would have to be very important to know the experience of other companies who have experienced the tele.

"Party of the Hungarian people to ask" - this is more than one HR professional presentation I have heard, not by accident. Most people do not dare to ask others, while well aware of the fact, not asking anything.
The number of Internet and tele-work in the company case studies can be found. Simply a matter of contacting an experienced driver, and follow the directions.

Man v elusive, as the Internet, the virtual world a few can handle rationally. The specialized teleworking experts may take a decade or more before the Hungarian society in bridging the generation accepts the equivalence of virtual work for personal work.
Research data show that the biggest problem is that employers do not know what to do with the virtual work. It is still very much in the driver to hear that the manual labor of the work.

Motivated and easy to ask, but how?
This raises the question: how to motivate a virtual formand employment? "Cancel to go praise the workers" - it is ridiculous for any of the answers for small and medium sector is still so much of the view.
The tele-reporting, the ways and still not get a response so much.
In the background of the experts, the absolute lack of knowledge of teleworking is. Afraid of him, because they do not know. Solution: ask, ask, ask.

Only large IT developments?
In fact, the small and medium sector in IT development is quite expensive. One expert, requesting his name the biggest problem that the cost-effectiveness in particular, IT is often cheap construction defects required for tele-back, resulting in the need for further development of additional costs. In such circumstances, there is no wonder that many people heard the bad news does not dare to start a teleworking employment.

The experts, however, it is recommended that buy homes, start businesses, the work required is prepared specifically for this software. Thus, the telework program must calculate the cost of longer-term as well.

If it is leaking from the company's know-how ...

Most of the Hungarian employers work on the Internet, the first question raised by a sharp knowledge of corporate security. How to defend the company's knowledge of the involvement of the World Wide Web? The question is legitimate and however strange, it's still a mystery to even the largest companies as well. Yet it seems that the outstanding knowledge of computer security systems and in the long term, it is worth the risk.

Potential employees should think of
Already in 2008-the survey also showed that the tele-workers employed on fixed-term contracts, most of the employers concerned. In rare cases, over an indefinite period and are quite rare in the case where the contract terms and fees, the full confidence vote in the company of teleworking. Experts believe that this is a problem.

The home worker need to live in the same motivation, as staff working inside the company. 6.5 per cent of workers employed in such a teleworking, a fixed-term framework, as this segment of workers wanted a time limit of 90 percent, permanent homes, the working conditions and prospects want to.
The tele-forums and professional experts in each direction, should be developed to telework in the Hungarian employers. Where else can not, you are why the large companies like Microsoft and its worth it and worth teleworkers staff.

Not incidentally, because the EU average of 13-14 per cent tele-the standard of women in our country only 1,7-1,8 per cent of employed men and 2 per cent of teleworking.
It would be an undeniable need for it. In the last three-month period increased by 40,000 people, so it is now up to 378,000 people are registered unemployed, the number of people who lost their jobs. The new jobs and most of them "to find anything." Especially if it could telework.

YouTube is one of the big losers will be the year?

Image via Wikipedia

YouTube video-sharing, the lack of close to half a billion dollars this year as well. One reason for this is that it does not record visitors use of the potential benefits.

G20 message from the Prime Minister's Office

Image via Wikipedia

PM hails Global Plan for Recovery and Reform
As the London Summit draws to a close, I wanted to let you know about the historic decisions that have been made today.
This is the day the world came together to fight back against the global recession. Not with words, but with a Global Plan for Recovery and Reform and a clear timetable for its delivery.
Today, we have reached a new consensus: that we take global action together to deal with the problems we all face together; that we will do whatever is necessary to restore growth and jobs; we will take the essential action to rebuild confidence and trust in our financial system and to prevent a crisis such as this from ever happening again.
The Leaders at the G20 agreed to:
• Restore confidence, growth, and jobs: they committed to make available an additional $1.1 trillion programme of support to help the world economy through the crisis and to restore credit, growth and jobs.
• Strengthen financial supervision and regulation: leaders agreed to strengthen the financial system by putting in place a better and more credible system of surveillance and regulation
• Fund and reform our international financial institutions to overcome this crisis and prevent future ones: leaders agreed to make an additional $850 billion in resources available through international financial institutions like the IMF
• Promote global trade and investment and reject protectionism to underpin prosperity: leaders committed not to resort to protectionism
• Build an inclusive, green, and sustainable recovery: leaders reaffirmed their commitment to meeting the Millennium Development Goals and to delivering on development aid pledges
There are no quick fixes. But with the six pledges we have made today we can shorten the recession and save jobs. That is in the best interests of all families and businesses around Britain.

What could be the web 2.0 after?

Image via Wikipedia

User generated content, enjoy great success of the Community Sites crowded, but the longer it to guess professionals, whether we follow the Web 2.0-and how the Internet can be a few years later.

Community portals, wiki, blogs are now, it would be without the World Wide Web. Illustrated that the world's ten largest onine system of 950 million members worldwide. It also has been a success story for their services, which enable users to prepare themselves and on a different content. Development of the online world, however, serious challenges not only for individuals but also society and - understandably - more and more frequently, the question arises: what comes next?
"Interestingly, the content is a platform that are not owned by people with a means of technical, we do not understand, a legal and organizational environment that is not transparent. The one hand, a Web 2.0 sort of marketingszó the same as organic, but very defined and expressed the needs of users. Thoughts, opinions, photos, and videos to millions can be seen, no one is watching you a long time, because they were not relevant to the presentation of these platforms, distribution.'s Web 2.0-but this was changed due to and megvalósulhatott. But Web 2.0 does not in any way be described as a final revolution of the information society "- stressed Hans Zeger, Paralleluniversum Web 2.0 on the books.
Zeger, the community portal is an ideal stage for the fulfillment and the like to help everyone find a way intellectuals, live around the world. The group is expected to increase and thus the security, such as the basic social needs are met, but the web world is re-. If összeszámolnánk online community for all members, reveal that there are 1.4 billion, which is a serious, awareness-raising number.
"There are, however, is negative, the three users at risk. The first side of the operators, as issued in love and marketing of personal data for commercial purposes. The second part of the staff and other departments who use the sites seen in the Community assessments. While the Third, the users, who are behind the relative anonymity bújva act. However, it would be important that there is no data, but also the rights of the people are protected. enlightened one, fundamental freedoms and open society must encourage people to express the new instruments the opinions and help them to live into their lives. "
"You need to see the platforms and Web 2.0-is a huge amount of content and information is created, or is going through, which was impossible to verify. We must not forget that the stupid talking, bad advice, or gossip, is also part of freedom of expression. It is, therefore, do not disable any of the technical and similar ideas, solutions. This is the Chinese, North Korean, British, French and any other politician's favorite toy, the Internet who do not really know where to be treated in place. He that bad would be easy to circumvent such systems. Just checked and they are observed in good faith they live. If a parent spends with the child half an hour on the World Wide Web, the more technical safetly at all "- to communicate Zeger.
The writer suggested the users to look at every case, managers who are in a community and what are the goals. Only then decide whether to join in that system. It's worth in advance about the data and remove the illegal content of the rules as well. Furthermore, it should be given to provide your personal information to us. But we must not forget that even though these sites, most everyone tries to finish the show itself.
And what will come after web 2.0? Well, Zeger believes that no case of the Web 3.0, Web, or Semantic Web-Infinity. Rather, the "webje things", ie solutions of the various smart (smart clothes, consumer electronics and household appliances, navigation systems, personal items, etc..) And then create a network that people will find it hard to control. And if this is achieved, we will have to be made again to the question: in a world where society and the place where to be placed on the fundamental values and human rights?
