Flavors.me: creare una pagina web con la nostra identità sociale online Pubblicato da Alberto Email Flavors.me è un nuovo servizio che ci permette di creare una elegante pagina web con la nostra identità sociale online. Si tratta di uno strumento che funziona un po’ come aggregatore di social network, un po’ come pagina iniziale, un po’ come generatore di siti web, un po’ come strumento per il lifestreaming, un po’ come carta di identità sociale. Bisogna registrarsi gratuitamente per creare la nostra pagina personale. A questo punto possiamo iniziare ad inserire i link verso le reti sociali cui siamo registrati. Al momento include siti come: Flickr, FaceBook, Last.fm, Posterous, Netflix, LinkedIn, Blogger, GoodReads, Twitter, Foursquare, YouTube, WordPress, Tumblr, Etsy. L’aspetto decisamente più cool di Flavors.me, tuttavia, è la personalizzazione del design. I risultati che si possono ottenere sono davvero splendidi da un punto di vista grafico. Post correlati

Tagxedo - Word Cloud with Styles Get the Glass! What is your emotional IQ? For decades, a lot of emphasis has been put on certain aspects of intelligence such as logical reasoning, math skills, spatial skills, understanding analogies, verbal skills etc. Researchers were puzzled by the fact that while IQ could predict to a significant degree academic performance and, to some degree, professional and personal success, there was something missing in the equation. Some of those with fabulous IQ scores were doing poorly in life; one could say that they were wasting their potential by thinking, behaving and communicating in a way that hindered their chances to succeed. One of the major missing parts in the success equation is emotional intelligence, a concept made popular by the groundbreaking book by Daniel Goleman, which is based on years of research by numerous scientists such as Peter Salovey, John Meyer, Howard Gardner, Robert Sternberg and Jack Block, just to name a few. Read every statement carefully and indicate which option applies best to you.
