Be a gooner...be a giver

A video about Arsenal's charity initiative, "Be a gooner, be a giver" for Cancer patients. This video was released 3 years ago and went viral to a small extent. It featured 9 Arsenal players at that time

Social Networks - Bringing people closer, professionally and personally

I am back..after a long long time to talk about the events that happened almost a month ago. On the 4th of February, we learnt about a topic that has revolutionized communication online. No prizes for guessing, its Facebook and Linkedin. Both these tools, if i can say, have been a big boon for us, both for personal and professional connection. They have made communication a lot easier and brought people even closer to one another. What started as a small revenge prank in a Harvard dorm room (yeah yeah..i saw the social network :)) is considered by everyone to be a quintessential part of your social life, though it is just virtual. And with LinkedIn, employers have an easier way to hunt for potential candidates as all the information that a candidate wants to present is right in front of their eyes on the screen.

As of 2011, there are over 500 million users, that is 1 in every 13 people in the world use Facebook. And this number is continuously increasing and it is around 750 million right now. I found the video above on youtube about the impact of Facebook. I am posting another video below, which shows about finding a job through linkedin

With technology bringing people closer to one another, you can either choose to embrace it or be termed a "pariah" by staying out of it. One thing for sure is that the world is not the same anymore after the arrival of Facebook and Linkedin and the sooner you join social networking, the better it is for you, both personally and professionally.

This blog entry would be incomplete without a mention of my beloved Arsenal FC (its called Gooner Rant after all :)). We played Blackburn Rovers at home and literally massacred them. The final score read 7-1, which was sweet revenge for our 3-4 loss earlier the season. We played like bosses and RVP scored a hat trick. Overall, a satisfying weekend for any Gooner. :)
Thats all for now folks, will blog soon about the mid-term, the "other side" of facebook and a round up of Arsenal games (Sunderland, Milan, Sunderland) in my next post. Till then, adios!
