How Executives Are Using Social Media | Knowledge Is Social The time constraints on today’s executives are more numerous than ever before. Between the economic downturn, ever-changing industry regulations, fast-moving information and simple day-to-day management tasks, corporate executives are trapped in the virtual jail cell that is today’s business climate. The unintended result of executive “information-imprisonment” is a workplace where they may have little insight into employee morale, culture, and general goings-on during the workday. Blinded by the reflection of their own to-do-lists, executives are turning to consumer social networks to stay connected to the people that execute on daily tasks inside their organizations. According to The Society for New Communication Research (SFNCR), 92 percent of executives are users of LinkedIn, 51 percent are on Facebook, and 41 percent are on Twitter because these tools are “a great way to keep track of peers and colleagues.”
Illustrator Narrative artist who makes images for printed and electronic products An illustrator is an artist who specializes in enhancing writing or elucidating concepts by providing a visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text or idea. The illustration may be intended to clarify complicated concepts or objects that are difficult to describe textually, which is the reason illustrations are often found in children's books.[1] Illustration is the art of making images that work with something and add to it without needing direct attention and without distracting from what they illustrate. The other thing is the focus of the attention, and the illustration's role is to add personality and character without competing with that other thing.[2] Illustrations have been used in advertisements, architectural rendering, greeting cards, posters, books, graphic novels, storyboards, business, technical communications, magazines, shirts, video games, tutorials,[3] and newspapers.

This post explores the API and what it means for business. What is it? An example more familiar with ordinary consumers would be Facebook applications. API’s have become the centre of the mashup culture permeating the web. What incentive do companies have in releasing an API? Free doesn’t mean losing An API that’s free has the ability to generate real economic value for a new web service. In order for companies to boost their SEO rankings, one of the things they need to do is have a lot of other websites pointing links at them. Which is my eyes was sheer brilliance by the team at Twitter.
