Social Networks

Within the WEB 2.0 concept we have the social networks: gather point service that uses software to build online social networks for communities of people who share interests and activities or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others.

Business applications

Social networks connect people at low cost; this can be beneficial for entrepreneurs and small businesses looking to expand their contact base. These networks often act as a customer relationship management tool for companies selling products and services. Companies can also use social networks for advertising in the form of banners and text ads. Since businesses operate globally, social networks can make it easier to keep in touch with contacts around the world.

The next step will be a WEB 3.0 application that uses virtual reality

VIRTUAL JOBBING

Virtual jobbing

I'm creating a platform where people and companies meet each other and share their talents and knowledge. Job and career opportunity at a high degree of technology.

E-resourcing: Social network changed the world of recruitment and the research for new talents. Selection companies use those tools to recruit and select mid-management to executive. I see the future as a virtual job shopping were you can walk around and play interactively with your avatar and apply online on virtual jobpostings, make direct interviews and be selected by virtual HR teams. The Grid is the solution to a fast network of the web. A www 10 thousands times faster that today. This means that it could contain virtual portals to real life virtual worlds. Millions and Millions of users communicating together at the same time. Companies will one day wake up beeing the ones who are being interviewed by the people market.

Rotterdam, 26 April 2007 - Dutch employment agency Content goes Second Life. Dutch employment agency Content, one of the biggest in Europe, opened an island in Second Life. Content sees Second Life as an important platform for dialogue and crowdsourcing. Furthermore, Content will offer both real jobs as well as Second Life jobs on the island. Virtual branding agency [Lost in the] Magic Forest was responsible for the design, working closely together with internet agency Evident.

Imagine an assessment day on a virtual platform.

Company presentation and knowledge sharing.

A little word about Web 2.0:

Web 2.0 is a trend in the use of World Wide Web technology and web design that aims to facilitate creativity, information sharing, and, most notably, collaboration among users. These concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites, wikis, blogs, and folksonomies. The term became notable after the first O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specifications, but to changes in the ways software developers and end-users use webs. According to Tim O'Reilly:
“
Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform.
”
Some technology experts, notably Tim Berners-Lee, have questioned whether one can use the term in a meaningful way, since many of the technology components of "Web 2.0" have existed since the early days of the Web.

KICK OFF DAY APRIL 2 2008

After several months of intensive work THE day has finally arrived: KICK OFF day for the

FIAT Recruitment Centre.

Resource of Excellence for Talent search and Management.

Every group was labbeled by a Pasta:

Calamari, Candele, Conchiglioni, eliche and Mafalde.

A
After the presentation of the group we went into a brainstorming session where we had to find a recepy. In this case we had to present ourselves as ingredients.

Find a claim to Valyou?

That experience gave us the taste of what is to become the future of the Resourcing centre.

Talkin about Taste? We were hungry just by listening to the different recepies! Do you think we went to lunch? no not yet. We went to Eataly to prepare our lunch: Everyone had his task.

MMMMM

Ending this Kick off day we were surprised by our HR manager and we redifined some ideas.
