With the advent of social media, many communications departments are rethinking how they communicate with employees. During the early years of the internet, communications were driven to employees through a top-down approach. In other words, a business leader worked with the communications department to craft the message and then disseminate that message to the workforce. However, in today’s environment, this top-down approach often excludes the opportunity for employees to generate and contribute content.

An example to help illustrate this point can be seen in something as simple as allowing comments for articles. Communications departments used to just post an article on the company intranet to help communicate key messages. Today, these same articles can be posted with the option to allow employees to comment on the article itself. Employees can contribute simply by expressing their opinion. Often, these comments can carry more weight than the actual article itself and the communications department has little to no control of the messaging that develops.

Watching satellite TV on the computer has become very popular in recent years, primarily because the costs, and services provided, are much better than those offered by cable and other satellite television arrangements.

We are all accustomed to dialing 411 when it comes to gaining instant access to local directory phone numbers. We have all used this service, and yes, we have all looked at our bills at the end of the month in total dismay.

While widely agreed on the value of the service it is costly! Some companies these days can charge up to or over .00 just to dial this service. These charges easily add up to another costly expense on your monthly phone bill. We are shocked to even watch how.25 charges can add up and we all vow to not use it, but you know you do, and will again. How will you get around this ever so dreaded 411 charge without incurring the inconvenience of never dialing 411 again?

Access to the internet has grown rapidly over the years. For a long time the only option was dial up. This was having your computer hooked up to a phone line and connecting through your phone line. As we all know that was extremely slow and there were so many things that could be or were frustrating with dial up. When you would travel dialup was the only option of connecting to the internet with your laptop when away from the office. Mobile internet uses were limited to a 56 Kbps connection.

Then we moved to being able to get internet through different companies when hooked up to a box, but we didn’t have to use our phone line. The speeds continued to improve and the options were endless.
