20 Whatsapp Group Etiquette Rules

#WhatsappEtiquette 1. Just add me. Don't ask if I want to be added. I know where the Exit Group button is. 2. Anonymity is out. Everyone must supply their full name. We're on the group to make contact and share views, make decisions, meetup IRL. If it's anonymous, random names, random numbers, talking is difficult to follow. What is the purpose of group? Networking? As soon as you're added, tell your full name and what you do that is relevant to the group. 3. Harassment. If girls on the group are harassed, what kind of group is it, what kind of men belong? She should Exit Group. 4. No spamming. If admins let spam through, Exit Group. 5. Private conversations in-group are out. If it's not for everyone, take it outside the group. 6. Be succinct and purposeful. Don't use extraneous words. Get to the point. Don't cause more than two dings. 7. Don't expect immediate responses. If I am meeting you, let's meet at your house so you're not ...

Organizing

Sort - inventory of what you have Purge - chuck stuff so you have less Assign - put stuff left over into zones Containerize - put the stuff in the zones in containers Equalize - maintain system, keep it current SPACE Tips: Don't zig-zag, stay in one room and have a 'belongs elsewhere' pile to take when you leave Papers - only transient papers should be on your desk, the rest should be filed

5 common blogging tips that aren't true (a précis by fetsiboomsticks)

Spend money on your blog. Spend it on domain name and hosting, the rest is ornamentation. Be yourself. Purple cows are more noticeable than little grey men. Don't guest post. It diverts your energy from your blog with little reward (I don't agree with this point). Post quality not quantity. Be sustainable. Blog about your passion. Even if there's competition for keywords, if you know your stuff you are in (similar to the anti-copyright argument, that copyright is there to protect the mediocre - then the mediocre can at least sell their (book) to 100 people, instead of relying on vitalness). And remember, advice is not 'law of the universe'. Source: Rob Cubbon

To-Do lists

The normal list-making that I do goes like this. TASKS IN INBOX • think of something • get out iPhone and send myself an email • first word of subject - Task. e.g. Task. Get tickets at Computicket for Pandora OPTIONAL I filter my emails that 'Task' gets a favorite star and a Tag (label) called Task. I can then easily see what the tasks are. I can also search for Task and it will show me all my emails that begin with the word Task, and I sort that list by date. As soon as I have done the Task, I simply take off the favorite star and Archive and it archives to the folder Task. Then I can even look and see what I have already done. That feels good! CRITICAL AMOUNTS OF TASKS This way I can see how many Tasks I have on hand. I can see that there are 29 Tasks in my inbox - 30 is my limit. When I hit 30, I take two hours each day and kill them. Thwack! LONG-TERM TASKS TREATED SEPARATELY Then there are the long-term tasks, e.g. LT Task. Website idea for jobless people. ...

Public speaking tips

Prepare . I don’t write out a talk word-for-word, but I use a lot of notes, and I practice it word for word, many times. That works for me. Some people do better with a more ad-lib approach. But either way, the more prepared you feel, the more relaxed you’ll feel.  Mental practice . It sounds odd, but mentally rehearsing and imagining yourelf giving a relaxed, accomplished performance really does help prepare you. In order to make that mental rehearsal as close to the real situation as possible… rehearse - avoid memorising your presentation. Never learn by rote rather visualise pictures that represent various items in your content, and then create a memory stack. Try to visit the scene . Checking out the room where you’ll be presenting will make you feel far more comfortable. Pay special attention to amplification devices: will you be wired up? use a stationary mike attached to a podium? Hold a wireless mike? Earlier that day: Don’t do anything unusual . Don’t take a nap if you...

8 rules for writing short stories

Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water. Every sentence must do one of two things--reveal character or advance the action. Start as close to the end as possible. Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them--in order that the reader may see what they are made of. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

The fetsiboomsticks take on the future of the internet

CMS I don't know what the answer is for artists who want to play on the web. It's all about learning applications... Facebook's structure was made with CMS. But then you become a developer and not an artist. MMORPG You get these things called Multiplayer role playing games MMORPG that often are just text based... it reaches a huge audience. Movie theatres have started investigating how to get these people to come play at the movie theaters... to harvest their money. I have been finding with the kids I am teaching that 25 year olds are talking to me about the role of video games in their marriages...! FUTURE OF THE WEB AND MEDIA - IPHONE The future of the computer is that it will be gone... onto an iPhone kind of a thing... like a playstation 3 but it won't be a separate unit, it will be merged into the iphone which has already merged with the ipod - and has fantabulous application books... Anni... you have to have one! I have downloaded an ebook onto m...

110 everyday experiments

Call yourself Empty a word of its meaning Look in vain for \I" Make the world last twenty minutes See the stars below you See a landscape as a stretched canvas Lose something and not know what Recall where you were this morning Hurt yourself briefly Feel eternal Telephone at random Rediscover your room after a journey Drink while urinating Make a wall between your hands Walk in the dark Dream of all the places in the world Peel an apple in your head Imagine yourself high up Imagine your imminent death Try to measure existence Count to a thousand Dread the arrival of the bus Run in a graveyard Play the fool Watch a woman at her window Invent lives for yourself Look at people from a moving car Follow the movement of ants Eat a nameless substance Watch dust in the sun Resist tiredness Overeat Play the animal Contemplate a dead bird Come across a childhood toy Wait while doing nothing Try not to think Go to the hairdresser Shower with your eyes closed Sleep on your front in the sun G...

10 things you didn't know about women

1. If we run into your ex-girlfriend in public, the first thing you should do is put your arm around us. And if we have to introduce ourselves, you are in big trouble. 2. When you tell us about a business lunch you had with a woman, it's a good idea to tell us that she's fat, ugly, old, or a lesbian. Preferably all of them. 3. PMS is real. It's chemical, and it sucks. If someone told you that every thirty days you were going to get jacked repeatedly in the nuts, you'd be pissy around day twenty-six, too. 4. When we say, "I don't feel connected," the only appropriate response is, "I feel it, too. Let's go out for a nice dinner and reconnect." Try it. You will get laid. 5. If you can locate the following items in our home—tape, casserole dish, Christmas ornaments—you will get laid. 6. If you act excited about the bath mat we bought at Target, you will get laid. 7. We really want to have kids. That is, until you want to have kids. ...

Meme tagging: Books

1. Estimate the total number of books you’ve owned in your life. I’d say there are roughly 6000 books lurking around the house. A trillion years ago I read Mills & Boons and when I gave them away finally there were 486 ~ and in those days you handed two books into a second-hand book store to get one. And then there was the discovery of Better Books, a credit card hell where the owner only gets second-hand books in that are on his discerning list, NOT just anything. And then there was the discovery of the safeness of ordering from Amazon. And the collection of uteral feminist books from Exclusive Books back when I was studying. Yip, I need a bigger house. 2. What’s the last book you bought? Can one operate in the singular when finding oneself in a book department? I really only read the books on palmistry and feminism, the others I just put my eyes onto the words.
