Google Plus Ranks #2 in World Social Network Food Chain.


Google has put faith in what many would see as a failed social project, Google Plus, but news today has the social network at #2 place, in front of Twitter in terms of active usage, with 343 million users.


Remarkably, Google has somehow managed to keep the smirk grin off its face, as many label Google Plus a ghost town. The website seems to be blossoming worldwide.

The question now is
how Google Plus is such an active social network, bubbling with users and activity, yet many still label it a ghost town, with hardly any real top users.
Some even say that Google employees are the only ones that regularly use the website, another false accusation.

The problem we found is that many push social networks away because they don’t use them. To some, Facebook may be seen as a ghost town, because it depends on your friends and how active your friends are on the website...Read Full Article here

My First Letter To My Daughter

Image
Dear Daughter, It’s not easy in today’s society to truly feel beautiful. We as women are bombarded everywhere we turn by images and voices telling us we are imperfect creatures. Millions of Naira/Dollars/Pounds/Euros are made by various companies and advertisers telling us WE can achieve perfection via the purchase of some “beauty” product; eating or NOT eating certain foods, exercising with this piece of equipment or that one, camouflaging or uncovering certain body parts…Lord! It never ends. Unfortunately, for many women, we ‘buy’ into it, literally. We spend Naira after Naira on cosmetic products (that one by one pile up in our “make-up” drawer), exercise videos and exercise equipment by one ‘perfect’ physical specimen after another (who, because of our hard-earned money can now afford liposuction), chemical processes and extensions in our hair to achieve the most “flattering’ styles, we offer bodies up to the sacrificial alter of beauty to be plucked, waxed, shaved, exfoliated,...

Perception, Positioning and The Unconscious Bias That Influence Our Story

Image
A few days ago, I gave a few minutes of thought to hashtag positioning and how it affects perception My lines of thought were focused on: 'people and their perception of others - a case study of myself.' I imagined some of the words that my bosses would describe me with and how somehow, most of them were linked to words like 'resolve', 'strong-will' etc. - I'm sure my current and previous bosses will be the first to nod at this 😄. You see, as a resolute/determined/strong-willed person, chances are you'd most likely be summoned to the other side of the table and probably asked 'why' more often than most of your colleagues - in some cases, you'd not make the list of top three favourite colleagues but guess what? You become top of mind when things go south on either side (colleagues or management - mostly the former).

My Greatest Fear In One Word

Image
A few years ago, I asked someone (JMCA) what his greatest fear was - one of the questions I ask to understand people and what drives them. He didn't spare two seconds before he responded (I wouldn't tell you what his response was but rest assured, it would stick for a very long time). Few minutes after I tried to inquire why he was afraid of what he had told me, something happened. In a still voice - one hoping to get the same response as his- he asked, "So what about you? What is your greatest fear."FAILURE! I answered. I could sense the confusion/amazement in his stare.  How can anyone ever be afraid to fail? With the answers to those questions not coming as fast as he wanted, he decided to ask; "Why are you afraid to fail, failure is the only thing that proves that we have tried..."  ........he went on and on and on. With a gentle tap on his arm (my way of telling him to at least let me explain),  I said... Failure gears me to work harder. I am n...
