Helio's Ocean 2 coming --2009 Virgin Mobile

Since Virgin Mobile bought Helio in June, one of the big questions has been the fate of the Ocean, Helio's messaging phone and the best device that struggling little carrier ever had. At CTIA today, Virgin Mobile spokeswoman Jayne Wallace committed to releasing its follow-up, the Ocean 2 - but alas, in 2009.

We've been privy to some key details on the MVNO's next-gen Ocean -- the device known simply as OZ2 thus far by its FCC identification -- and things are definitely looking up for this monster to set the bar among QWERTY dumbphones whenever Helio gets around to releasing it. Besides the little box of visual stimulation there that we managed to pick up (sorry, that'll have to do for the time being), we've learned that the following features are being thrown around in Helio's testing; none are guaranteed for the final product, apparently, but most of them sound totally reasonable:

3 megapixel camera
Dual slider, just like the original
microSDHC support
1GB internal storage
In-browser Flash support
30fps video recording
Touch-sensitive directional pad
PC sync capability We don't have any info on pricing or release here, but you know we'll be hustling 'em hard to spill the beans. In the meantime, try not to drop that Ocean -- it's got to last just a little bit longer

Slumdog Millionaire- My 2009 first film

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out. At the heart of its storytelling lies the question of how anyone comes to know the things they know about life and love.

Eighteen year old Jamal Malik is having an amazing answering streak on the Indian version of the television game show, "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". He's only one correct question away from the big prize. However, some, including those associated with the game show, question how someone like Jamal, a self confessed non-genius who grew up in the slums of Mumbai, can be doing so well on the show when others who are brighter, more educated and wealthier than him have failed. Is Jamal cheating? Is it purely luck that they have asked him the questions to which he knows the answers? Seeing Jamal's life journey to this point ultimately answers these questions. His life journey includes being orphaned at an early age; growing up with an older brother, Salim, who was both his guardian/protector and antagonist; and having a relationship since childhood with another orphaned child, a girl named Latika. His motivation for being on the show also may provide some answers to his success. Perhaps it was all just meant to be.

2009 New Business Model ?-----Twitter

The new Twitter "suggested friends" feature is a natural place to sell friend connections between users and companies wanting to communicate with them. It's great traditional lead sales, in fact. Who says you can't buy more friends? $1 per user who takes the suggestion and opts in to getting messages from JetBlue or Zappos? That could happen. Could those companies keep their freshly purchased friends? Only if their Twitter output stayed interesting! We'll see if something like that works with Twitter.........

What Is Your Social Networking Strategy in 2009?

Are you LinkedIn? Do you Xing, Ryze, Jigsaw, or wakoopa? In 2009, will you get a Second Life?
If these social-networking concepts are not on your radar, you are ignoring a dynamic trend that could have a profound impact on key areas of your business, such as revenue growth, talent acquisition and development, and operational efficiency and effectiveness.
Wikipedia defines a "social network service" as one that focuses on the building and verifying of online social networks for communities of people who share interests and activities.
The concept of social network analysis a(SNA)—the intersection of several key disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, psychology, organizational design, and graph theory—has existed in academic circles since the 1930s and 1940s. Although interesting, the study of patterns in human interaction has unfortunately been confined to academia, with little visibility or application to corporate leaders and their efforts in not only strategy formulation but also strategy execution.

In many leadership circles and boardrooms, there is seldom a shortage of organizational mission, vision, strategy, values, or beliefs (what I often refer to as "wall art"). But where it consistently breaks down is in dealing with concepts such as the strategic relationship dashboard, strategic relationship initiatives, and personal relationship development action plans—all of which lead to strategic relationship outcomes.

Strategic relationship planning is driven by a core set of questions around critical company business goals, including the identification of the most relevant and strategic relationships we need, critical relationships we already posses within and external to our corporation today, and a plan as to how to systematically, intentionally, and strategically add value to the social network we currently have to create leverage with the relationships we need.

This dynamic "Favor Economy" is the core motivator of the 17 million users in over 150 industries that have converged on a single online platform that didn't exist until only a few years ago.
Although many leaders have heard of LinkedIn, there are still many who are either under the impression that it is a fad that will simply go away or that it has little bearing on them personally or professionally.
What they neglect to realize is that 499 of the Fortune 500 companies have director-level profiles and higher on LinkedIn. Even Barack Obama recently teamed up with LinkedIn to reach entrepreneurs, small business owners, and executives, asking them very pointed questions regarding their needs from the next US president.
