Every federal agency has a small business office, the entry point for startups and small companies that want to sell their products or services to the government. The main function of the OSDBU (Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization) is to meet with small contractors and advise them on working with their agencies. Any small business can request a meeting, but they must be scheduled in advance. OSDBUs can be very helpful if you go in prepared. If you go in unprepared, the officers will be much less receptive and you will probably have a short visit. Once you have a meeting scheduled, there are several things you should do in advance, at the meeting, and afterwards. Before You Go Understand that your small business status is NOT your competitive advantage. It’s true agencies need to meet a certain quota of small business vendor use, but the person you’re meeting with wants to know what your company can do to solve their immediate problem. Know what you bring to the party. What is your company’s key competitive advantage or skill? How does this fit with what the agency buys? Is your skill or product clearly stated in your marketing…

Taking to his official LinkedIn handle, Harsh Sharma wrote, “The person you see in this photo, he’s not my relative, friend or anyone whom i knew until this happened.

We are at a very crowded restaurant, he arranges a table for me. The restaurant was self service, but he brings menu to me and suggests some specialities of south India,” wrote Harsh in the caption.

LinkedIn recently revealed how they built a new versioned API framework for LinkedIn Marketing APIs that allows external partners to migrate to newer versions of APIs at their own pace. With the new framework, each API product exposes its versioned models and APIs through a mid-tier that serves APIs for external partners. The mid-tier APIs and models are exposed to the external world with specific versions. This allows their consumers to migrate to the new versions at their pace. Legacy architecture consisted of backend APIs built by various business lines and exposed externally via Rest.li API gateway. Since these APIs were not versioned, everything implemented for the internal APIs was published to the external customers directly. The post explains: "Unversioned APIs also blocked customers from accessing the latest features and caused internal challenges with new feature development. Additionally, feedback from developers indicated we were releasing too many API changes with short warning times that disrupted planning." Source - https://engineering.linkedin.com/blog/2022/-under-the-hood--how-we-built-api-versioning-for-linkedin-market LinkedIn built the new framework to expose changes to models and APIs under specific versions to effectively isolate external applications from changes and allow partners to migrate to new versions at their own pace. Whenever an external application requests a specific…

Many social media users love to criticize and complain, and last week a lof of that negative attention was focused on "Crying CEO" Braden Wallake of HyperSocial. Wallake made headlines with an anguished post, accompanied by a crying selfie after his company had to lay off three employees.The post went viral, along with a slew of angry comments most of which faulted Wallake for making it all about himself and his raw emotions, rather than his newly jobless employees and the emotions they must be feeling. "Completely narcissistic and tone deaf," wrote one typical comment. "I don't think anyone minds him posting a crying selfie. I think the issue is that he laid off 3 people who now have zero income."Let's be real about this. Other executives have posted in the past how sorry they felt about laying people off. This one only went viral because of that selfie. It just isn't the sort of thing people usually post to LinkedIn, which is usually used as a platform for people to tout their own expertise or professionalism. Real emotions are a rarity, and I think maybe they shouldn't be.Here's more of what I think is wrong with most of the criticisms that have been lobbed in…

One of the hallmarks of TikTok is its algorithm, which recommends content from people who are followed but also from other people who are not followed but who post videos that may interest us. Its successful operation is one of the keys that has enabled TikTok to exceed 1,000 million users worldwide and to achieve audience retention figures that are much higher than those of other social apps. LinkedIn has started testing a new algorithm to launch the “discover” section, similar to that of TikTok and Instagram So much so that Instagram once again imitated one of TikTok’s features by launching its “Explore” tab, where an algorithm recommends Reels and other content that may be of interest to platform users, although at the moment with less precision than the from the Chinese app. However, Instagram seems that it will not be the only social network that imitates TikTok in this regard. LinkedIn has begun experimenting with a new tab on its mobile app that would perform the same functions as “Explore” on Instagram. In this tab, publications from people “who might be interested in following” the user, newsletters “to which they might be interested in subscribing”, publications that might be…

Most of us have experienced anger at the slightest delay in receiving our food, which we have ordered online, especially when hungry. And this Bengaluru man was no exception. However, the man felt 'numb' and 'stupid' when a specially-abled agent delivered food to his doorstep. He later penned and shared his experience online, which the netizens received well."My order was getting delayed & delayed! It was a beautiful Sunday in Bangalore yesterday - gloomy weather, light drizzle & sun shining occasionally, made it perfect. Like most of the Bangaloreans on Sunday - I was too lazy to get out of my comfortable bed & hence decided to order something via a food delivery app. Life is good, it seems," wrote Rohit Kumar Singh on LinkedIn while sharing a picture of the delivery agent.Singh added that he got impatient once the estimated time for arrival, which was 30 minutes, passed. "I called the delivery boy & with a very comforting tone, he said "I will be there in sometime sir", few more minutes passed & still the gentleman has not arrived yet. Ugggg, I called again and said "Bhaiya please jaldi Karo naa, bhookh lg rhi hai" (Brother please come fast,…
