Are you a Software Developer or I.T. Professional? You must have an MBA degree in your pocket!

All the great scientists become philosopher when they grow older. Now, I am not a scientist, I am a mediocre person with limited knowledge and intelligence; however, I have been feeling a change in my way of thinking lately.

It started while reading about Business Intelligence in wikipedia few days back. It is a long page with tons of information. As I was dipping into the concept more and more, I felt that everything in this world is meant for business. The whole Software Industry and I.T. sector is spinning around business. Most of the software products are developed targeting the needs of Business Houses.

Internet is nothing but a virtual market where you buy or sell products or services. You may argue citing instances of social networking sites; you may say that there are people who come online just for chatting. Then just think about the shopping mall or amusement parks nearby. They look like entertaining entities, but factually they are nothing but big MARKET. People may go there with a no-shopping mind, but they are shown lots of products, samples, offerings and many more casually.

Same thing happens when you log in to Orkut, or go to Yahoo! Messanger. Ads pop-up here and there and you are bound to see them even if you went there not to buy anything.

I am thinking to learn topics like Business Administration, Business Management etc. If you want to excel as a Software Developer or as an I.T expert, enroll into some Management courses. Still not satisfied? Read and feel the subject Business Intelligence.

I think I forgot

informing my readers that Web Wings has been a part of iEntry network for last few months. I applied for WebProNews Blog Partnership and after reviewing the blog, they listed it at:
iEntry Blogger List.

Initially there was a typing mistake in my name; once I pointed it out they corrected it promptly and sent me an "excuse us" message as well :)

I really feel proud to see my name on the same page which displays a name like Aaron Walls. Moreover, MyBlogLog report is showing that Web Wings is getting visitors from ientry.com. That’s really exciting!

TimeStamp

WebWings has been looking like an orphan; none is there to look after her. Shame on me, how can I neglect her this way?

See, I am not heartless; last few weeks were really hectic. I could not participate in forums, could not read magazines and articles, could not chat with my friends and could not post in my blog as well.

However, we have achieved our target. We have completed the documentation and user-manual of two of our products, which have been launched just few minutes ago officially.

I am in a mood now. Today I will tell you how I realized the value of time once again. On last Friday, July 28; I came to office as usual. But somehow I developed the idea that it was July 29. Suddenly my eyes stuck to the table calendar and I realized the fact. Trust me; I was so happy at that time. I thought God has gifted one more day to me so that I can finish my tasks! Time is so precious!

Yahoo!

I just noticed it today; Yahoo! has added the "Recent Readers" widget of MyBlogLog on some of the article pages. I was just going through Yahoo! categories and surprised to see my smiling face there.

Now Yahoo! is also up to find bloggers' choice! Anyways, good for my blog, it will get some readers however.

Google Feedburner and My Privacy

Frankly speaking, I am not getting enough time to write. Things are changing rapidly; coping with a new office environment is not so easy especially after spending 2 years in a homely office atmosphere. However, God is kind enough to help me with friendly persons around always!

I wanted to probe the FeedBurner and Google issue since I read it. Initially I got the idea that Google acquired FeedBurner to identify Splogs when I read the WebProNews article. And I think this is not bad at all. Thousands of blogs are created everyday just to publish AdSense or run any Affiliate Programs. People also create Slogs to link back to good sites. Splogs gain high Page Rank rapidly as the sploggers put Feeds of good sites there and the power of content adds to the PR value.

One easy way to point out Splogs could be feed subscription count and, perhaps, that is the reason, Google has acquired FeedBurner.

But what Amit and Todd have described in their blogs is quite fearsome. Amit sees chances for Feed Subscriptions to be put under AdSense/AdWords program in future. And Todd has pointed out chances of getting our extremely personal data disclosed to the world.

"Imagine now, that you will be tracked across the 100’s of thousands of sites using FeedBurner and they will know if your political orientation is Left, Right they will know what your sexual orientation is, they will be able to tell if you like adult sites the list goes on and on."

Now, the question is how Google will be using FeedBurner? If they use it to check Splogs, then it’s ok, otherwise Google must amend their privacy policy!
