LinkedIn has launched mobile application for daily consumption

LinkedIn - the social network for professionals – has radically changed the mobile experience to attract users to a personalized stream of business content.

LinkedIn has recently released completely renewed versions of its mobile applications for iPhone and Android as part of ongoing effort to turn the social network into a rich, daily destination for consuming content and connecting with other people.

These fresh applications have a little resemblance to their former versions. But they differ in a crisp design, a reworked navigation and personalization features aimed to make LinkedIn for iPhone and Android a vehicle for rabid consumption. The mobile applications for iPhone and Android are now available for fifteen different languages.

LinkedIn’s senior product manager and mobile phone lead told CNET that the underlying design principle behind the new mobile applications is that everything users need and care about should be just single tap away. He added that they were eager to bring everything to users instead of the users having to search for information. The company has created mobile applications with a cleaner and customizable navigation menu that slides from the left-hand side of the screen. It really efficiently directs users’ attention to whatever they are interested in. it also slides out to reveal a dynamic stream experience.

Stories include status and connection updates, news, posts from the influencers that user follows, job changes etc. in case in user is a big content reader he will find more content than other users. In case if users seeks for a new job, the stream will provide more recommended jobs.

LinkedIn has done a really great job and it has done it successfully. The new mobile applications will provide users with an extremely detailed environment and will serve the 27 per cent of users who prefer using the professional service on mobile.

IT exists outside California

If you are asked to name the most IT-oriented state of the USA probably you'll name California thinking about Silicon Valley, And all the IT brands like Apple, Microsoft and HP. And maybe you will be right.

But what to do if someone lives not in California but let's say Florida and needs a piece of custom software development. Let's say he or she needs an iPhone apps development somewhere near Miami or Florida Magento website development. Fortunately living in not the top IT state doesn't mean that you'll face a problem to find a software development company. There are at least 2 great options to get your IT project live.

On the one hand, you may search Google entering for example " Florida software company". You'll be surprised how many different search results there would be there. You have the opportunity to choose from the list of small companies specializing on specific technologies like mobile applications development for iPhone, Android, Windows Mobile, custom programming for eCommerce shops, Real Estate sites, corporate sites, and so on. Or you may find a dedicated team of software developers who will work for you on a time & material basis. In this case you need to be a project manager and business analyst for them. Or you may choose a big company with a wide range of different IT services including not just software development but also maintenance and promotion. On the other hand, there always is another variant. Nowadays the whole world is like one economy. So, you may choose a software development company from any country and outsource your software development project to India or Philippines, Romania or Belarus, Mexico or Brazil. And if you decide to use this variant the list of your choices will increase by a thousand or even more.

As for me I prefer to hire the company from my city or at list from my state. This helps to avoid cultural and time-zone differences, so as problems with language communication. Unfortunately, the opportunity cost of my choice is higher cost of programming in comparison with an outsourcing my project. So, this is a trade-off.

GLIMPSE OF A FASHION WEEK

Such fashion industry event as fashion week is a great promotion opportunity for fashion designers and fashion houses. Setting the latest trends such events are held throughout the world, but certainly the most notable are the ones held in the centers of world fashion – New York, Paris, Milan and London.

The goal of fashion week is not just to demonstrate what is in fashion, but to prepare the audience for the approaching trend. Therefore fashion weeks are held in advance every six months and buyers with mass media are given information on fashion in the coming season. New York is always the first in the schedule with London following it and Milan, while Paris completes the list.

The fashion week in London this year was the tribute to the recently deceased fashion designer McQueen. One of the most spectacular shows was arranged by Burberry with the help of digital innovation effects. The show was streamed live on the Internet.

There is a trend of bigger popularity of such shows all over the world with extended reflection in mass media. Microblogging seems to be very popular in fashion and there is no need any longer to wait for some reports concerning fashion events from central channels. Any person is able to make it. This new trend was especially strong in the context of current fashion week in New York.

Real time media were able to give a review of everything happening on the catwalk and anywhere else. About 50% of all those who came to Fashion week used Twitter and discussed all events online. The coverage of the events in 53 % of the cases was via unofficial sources, such as blogs. The news were published and republished, pictures were sent and linked. All this had a great impact upon the event. It is also noted that many non-professional reviews are rather interesting and not worse than reviews of professional fashion experts.

How to manage loans using your resources wisely

When a client comes to the bank to get a loan credit manager launches a process that can take days if not weeks. Usually there is more than one person involved in the process and in that case project management system is practically irreplaceable because if many people work on the same project at the same time things can get messed up. To avoid confusion with documents and deadlines it’s recommended to use the project management solution that would allow you to automatize all the processes and monitor the actions of the team in real-time.

Comindware Tracker is software that helps managers dealing with all the kinds of processes and in our case it can help credit manager to monitor the process of loan payment from the moment clients apply for a loan up to their last payment.

Thanks to the Graphical Forms builder that enables visual drag-&-drop forms design and editing you will be able to create workflow for each client by simply rearranging preexisting template, which is much more convenient than creating a new workflow from scratch.

Creating a functioning workflow will let you automate tasks in a sequence to make your collaborative work more effective. It allows you to assign tasks to members of your team and special notifications practically exclude the possibility that someone might forget to do their part.

One of the biggest advantages of this system compared to other solutions is that it allows you to bring changes into already active workflow. For instance, let’s pretend you are using not-so-convenient online project management solution that allows you to build workflow. What do you think will happen if a borrower suddenly decides to use early pay off option? You are going to build a new workflow, because common online solutions usually don’t allow changing things in already working scheme. But if you are using Comindware issue tracking gets much easier: to change workflow you just have to press “edit workflow”, delete or add tasks and press “save”.

Flexibility of workflow software is something those managers will appreciate who have to work with complicated projects with a lot of scenarios and loan management is exactly one of those cases. There are so many things that can go wrong: from delay in payment to the death of a borrower. One of the perks of the system is in its feature that allows attaching documents and discussions to tasks, so you can have all the credit history of a borrower on dashboard in real-time. You can set up the system so it would send a borrower alerts when the payment is due.

Comindware Tracker is so customizable that you’ll be able to track practically any processes imaginable. This system will save you time, money and frustration you usually get from going through piles of paper trying to find a template or a contract. With task tracking software you won’t need to do this anymore, because all the standard-based lists, contracts and templates are already in there. Ready for you to use.
