A New Apple?
All eyes have been on Apple since the passing of Steve Jobs.
What will the future hold? What changes will come? Will Apple remain iconic?
A company such as Apple with a leader like Steve Jobs, is something of a ocean liner trying to make a u-turn.
It’s going to take some time!
We can, however, begin to see some subtle changes in management style, and I wonder how that may play-out in the end. Some notable differences include:
Yahoo! Axis – Too Little, Too Late?
Yahoo! has released a new browser — kind of.
If you’re using a mobile device, Axis works just like a browser. In fact, Axis was built with mobile browsing in mind, so it works really slick.
As the demand for mobile device web browsing increases, the need for a mobile specific app has reached critical mass.
Admit it.
Most mobile browsers are lame.
What more could be expected from a ported web browser?
Axis changes all of that.
The Awe Inspiring Stockholm Underground
The Stockholm underground has made many of the stations available to artists to decorate.
The results?
Kinetic Creatures
These “Kinetic Creatures” are amazing, walking, cardboard creatures that you build!
“I Love My Job” – Youth Ministry [Video]
We talk on here a lot about social media, how to do best practices, where we need to invest our time, statistics, infographics, and every other business practice there is. I love diving into the facts, making the online experience much similar for others, and knowing I have helped a ministry do something a bit better. But that is not the ultimate goal for ministries.
I serve as a youth worker and nearly every day am connecting with teens online, but the endgame is not to get another friend, fan, or comment. My endgame is to sit face-to-face with them and share who Jesus is.
I was reminded of this fact from a recent YouTube video that the National Youth Workers Convention just put out as a promo for their conferences this year and it hits this relational social media concept right on the nose.
