Don’t Just Say It, Display It: Visually Enhance Your Professional Story on your LinkedIn Profile [SLIDESHOW]


Udi Milo, Linkedin – Blog
Posted by @fgomezcordoba

There are hundreds of ways for us to express ourselves in our daily lives. From the clothes we wear to the words we choose to use, the pictures we share and the music we play — the possibilities are endless.

This is equally important in the professional context, as no two professionals are alike. For the first time, you will now have the ability to showcase your unique professional story using rich, visual content on your LinkedIn profile. This means you can illustrate your greatest achievements in the form of stunning images, compelling videos, innovative presentations and more. From the analyst who makes annual predictions on tech trends to the 3D animator who is looking to fund a new short film, the opportunities are limitless for how professionals can now use the LinkedIn profile to help showcase these unique stories in a visual way.

To begin sharing your achievements and creations on your profile, simply select “edit” on your profile then follow the prompts in your “Summary,” “Experience” and “Education” sections. Other members can also “like” or comment on what you’ve posted.

Need a little inspiration? Here are a just few examples to help inspire you as you start exploring this new way to showcase your career and work.

This is just a glimpse of what’s possible. The ability to add your visual content to your profile will begin rolling out to members in English speaking countries today. We look forward to finding new ways to bring this type of rich media across your LinkedIn experience. Stay tuned, there’s more to come.

In the meantime, we look forward to seeing how you choose to display your professional story on your profile.

Introducing Video Slides – thnxz @labnol


With Video Slides, you can quickly create a beautiful slideshow from one or more videos pulled from Youtube and Vimeo. Just past the raw video URLs in any format and the tool will bundle them into a presentation.

There’s a pretty interesting thread on Hacker News where people have shared links to their favorite technical talks. The thread includes dozens of links pointing to YouTube, Vimeo and other video websites.

It’s a treasure trove and I want to click on every single video that’s mentioned on that page but the problem is that I will then end up having at least two dozen new tabs in the browser. And this isn’t just about Hacker News, you can open any popular thread on sites like Quora or Reddit and you’ll be overwhelmed with links pointing to interesting stuff.

How do you deal with such a large collection of raw links? I have written an app called Video Slides that some may find handy here. The app will scan the text for video URLs and put them all in a single slideshow without cluttering your browser.

Here’s a quick video demo.

Creating Exciting And Unusual Visual Hierarchies // thnxz smashingmagazine.com – @smashingmag


Layout, for both print and screen, is one of the most important aspects of graphic design. Designs that extend across multiple pages or screens, whether containing large or small amounts of type, must be carefully controlled in a way that is enticing and is easy for all to access.

Careful control of visual hierarchy is a key aspect of the design decisions we have to consider. In this article, we will look at how frequently type needs to be broken down into different levels, such as topic, importance and tone of voice.

EL PAÍS mantuvo con los expertos que participaron en el foro global de los medios de The Paley Center. Los medios de información tradicionales tienen que pensar en una nueva forma de funcionar después de un siglo haciéndolo de la misma manera. “Estamos cada vez más en un mundo de información en tiempo real”, Richard Gingras (jefe de productos de noticias de Google) asegura y se muestra convencido de seguirán siendo necesarios periodistas de calidad, que serán la base para mantener la confianza de los usuarios, más incluso que las marcas tradicionales.

INMESSIONANTE Pepsi presenta el primer diccionario que incluye Un Adjetivo para Messi


Pepsi, marca integrante del portafolio de bebidas de PepsiCo, anuncia el cierre de la exitosa acción “Un Adjetivo para Messi” desarrollada por BBDO Argentina a través de la edición de un exclusivo diccionario. El mismo contará por primera vez con el adjetivo que describe al ídolo del fútbol mundial: INMESSIONANTE.

La acción comenzó a raíz de los dichos del DT Alejandro Sabella quien comentó que “no hay palabras que lo definan, inventemos juntos un adjetivo para describirlo”. En este sentido, Pepsi creó una campaña para que los consumidores y usuarios de Twitter puedan proponer esta nueva palabra bajo el hashtag #UnAdjetivoparaMessi, movida que llegó a juntar más de 600 adjetivos en una semana entre los que se destacaron
Messias, Messiánico, Messibuloso y Amessing, entre otros.

How to Handle Working for an Asshole


How to Handle Working for an Asshole

“Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.”
George Carlin

Via The Black and Blue

Like any job, going to work in the film industry isn’t always fun. Stepping on set can become a chore when you’re stressed from a shootfeeling pressure from your department, and working extremely long hours.

So the last thing you need in a situation like that is someone treating you poorly: berating you, yelling at you, and generally being a damn asshole.

But it happens.

I wish I could tell you that everyone in the film industry is nice as cherry pie, but statistically that’s impossible and, from personal experience, I know it’s not true. At some point, probably early in your career, you’re going to encounter an asshole. How you deal with them will have a tremendous effect on the path your career takes — for better or worse.

Recently a reader (who wished to remain anonymous) told me a story about her experience with a director of photography (DP) who was treating her terribly:

I’m just wondering, however, if you have any advice on what to do if the guy you’re working for – the DP – is the asshole!? I got along well with the rest of the cast and crew, but the DP was arrogant, sexist, and condescending. Each time he directed his assholery my way, I just worked and tried harder… but I was pretty conflicted the whole time as to whether the anguish was worth it, considering it was a “deferred payment” low-budget film. Should I just have called it quits and walked away from the production? Was sticking at it and working even harder the right thing to do, or did it just affirm this DP’s douchebaggery, so that he’ll continue to be bad to people in future?

Working with anybody with a toxic attitude like that is tough. But it’s especially tough if they’re your department head because it puts you in an awkward position.

There are three ways you can handle a situation like the one encountered above:

  1. Do nothing and work quietly
  2. Try and talk with the person
  3. Walk away from the job

None of the options are ideal, I’ll admit. With Option 1, you potentially lose money, experience, and further networking. Option 2 may backfire and cause you to get fired or intensify the problem. Option 3 has you putting up with abuse without any vengeance.

So which one do you go with? What’s the right path to tread forward on?

It’s hard to say.

The best approach would be a combination of all the options in the order they’re listed. You put up with it hoping it’s a bad day, then if it continues, you approach the person professionally and talk with them about it. Finally, if it still continues, you leave the set.

But that raises another question: how do you know when to escalate things? What if it doesn’t work?

5 Factors to Help You Handle an Asshole

I’ve certainly had to deal with my fair share of filmmaking assholes, but mostly from the production department (no offense producers!) and rarely within my own department. What I’ve noticed is there are several factors that contribute towards when you should and shouldn’t escalate the situation. Sigue leyendo

Informática en el aula: revés inesperado de los “nativos digitales”


La facilidad con la que los adolescentes aprenden a usar las nuevas tecnologías en sus servicios básicos como telefonía móvil y redes sociales no los habilita automáticamente para comprender la lógica con la que funcionan los programas de las computadoras.

Con distintas perspectivas, investigadores y docentes coinciden en que es necesario que los alumnos, aun cuando sepan maniobrar la computadora, conozcan la estructura lógica con la que funciona. De esa forma, cuando vayan cambiando las aplicaciones -los programas-, ellos no quedarán fuera de juego.

En la era de los nativos digitales, como se llama a los jóvenes que nacieron rodeados de monitores, muchos tienen dificultades para aprobar la materia que en algunas escuelas sigue llamándose Computación y en otras se da como Nuevas Tecnologías, en talleres extracurriculares o no existe.

De ahí que el concepto mismo de nativo digital “esté en discusión”, según dijo a LA NACION Graciela Caldeiro, del Proyecto de Educación y Nuevas Tecnologías (PENT) de la Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales (Flacso).

Ese concepto “supone que, por una cuestión generacional, los jóvenes tienen afinidad y facilidad intuitiva o natural para manejar tecnología y ya saben todo” lo vinculado con la PC. “Hay chicos que tienen muchas dificultades para usar las computadoras y hay que tener en cuenta las diferentes realidades, los diferentes contextos sociales y económicos”, dijo Caldeiro, que, además, es docente en el Instituto de Estudios Superiores Juan B. Justo, del gobierno porteño. Sigue leyendo

Hey James, this week I am working on the most exciting project ever – I am designing a new website for one of the most popular radio stations.

That was the last time I heard anything from my friend.

Now he is spending a big chunk of his time going through a lot of legal actions and a local lawyer has become his best mate.

Well, all just because my friend has been sued by a huge web design and development agency.
