It doesn't get as much attention as other platforms, but LinkedIn has been steadily growing over the past few years, both in terms of total users and active engagement. Over the last five quarters, LinkedIn has reported record levels of engagement, each quarter, while the platform is now up to 740 million members. Which still feels like a bit of a cop out - 'members' is not the same as 'active users' - but even so, the stats show that LinkedIn usage is rising, along with its potential audience reach, and as more regions look to get back to normal in the wake of the pandemic, business activity will also increase, which will inevitably see even more users coming to LinkedIn more often. Which is why it may well be worth re-examining your LinkedIn marketing approach. To help with this, LinkedIn has been sharing a range of case studies that highlight how to use its promotional tools and options, while today, it's also provided some new tips on how to maximize your company presence, and grow your company page followers. Here are LinkedIn's key tips: 1. Get the Basics Right First off, LinkedIn advises brands to ensure that they fill in…

PHOTO: Adobe Stock Asana, Inc., a San Francisco-based project management and collaboration platform, announced a number of new product features aimed at improving user experience and helping employees focus on work without distraction. The product enhancements include video messaging, task management features, a smart calendar assistant to help with scheduling, and a new desktop app. According to Asana’s Anatomy of Work Index, a report based on a survey of 13,000 workers, 80% of employees work with their inbox and communication apps open, leading to nearly 75% feeling the pressure to multitask when they can be doing focused work. “The rapid shift to distributed work has fueled distraction and disruption.

A picture paints a thousand words. And a video captures a thousand pictures. That’s why the world is shifting to what I like to call the “Video Economy.” In short, everything these days is built on top of video. And when I say everything, I mean everything. Communication? Forget calling. And texting. These days, we send pictures and videos to one another via Snapchat, Instagram, and TikTok. Entertainment? Forget books. And radio. These days, we watch movies and TV shows on YouTube, Netflix, and Disney+. Education? Forget textbooks. And pencils, pens, and paper. These days, we log onto Chegg and Khan Academy, and watch video tutorials and taped lessons. Work? Forget emails. And long memos. These days, we meet using Zoom and create presentations using Prezi. Sales? Forget cold-calling. And spammy emails. These days, we sell stuff by creating compelling videos, and pushing those videos all over the internet. Everything is based on video these days – as it should be. Simply consider these stats: Visuals are shown to increase desire to read content by 80%. 85% of folks are more likely to buy a product after watching a video about it. Media posts with images produce 180% more engagement.…

While running apps on bare metal is more traditional, deploying programs using containers provides loads of benefits. And for keeping track of all those containers, Kubernetes (known as K8s in shorthand) is an extremely popular open-source management platform. It's scalable, extensible, and portable.Because containerization allows for agile app deployment, continuous development, and continuous integration, as well as more efficient resource allocation, containers have seen wider adoption—even for app modernization projects. Accordingly, Kubernetes provides many benefits for container management, including load balancing, automated rollbacks, and storage orchestration.Whether you're just learning Kubernetes or are a seasoned container buff, you'll want to have the right resources available, such as tutorials and monitoring tools. This also includes following the right people on Twitter. Here are the top Kubernetes experts to follow for leveling up your container management knowledge.Saad AliSoftware engineer, Google@the_saad_aliAs a software engineer with Google, Ali works on Kubernetes.

We Are the South Social media was a buzz this week (when it is not?) because apparently, Liberty and Chambers counties are in the “South” but Harris County is decidedly not, at least according to one guy on Twitter. What. On Monday, R.J. Lehmann, who’s the editor-in-chief of the International Center for Law, per ABC 13, shared a questionable U.S. map on Twitter highlighting which states and counties he considered “The South” and which were “Not the South.”  I did this map a couple years ago and I stand behind it. pic.twitter.com/luVpPefElL — R.J. Lehmann (@raylehmann) June 7, 2021 According to the map, only eight states are 100 percent in the South, and Florida, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, and Texas are all partially in the South, but not completely.  His scientific reasoning? “Different things in different areas, but mostly just my impression from visiting,” he wrote on Twitter. Okay, sir.  While we have a lot to say about this whole map, let’s focus in on where our true beef lies: Why is Houston not considered the South? Lehmann admitted he doesn’t have a good answer.  “I'll admit that I'm being totally inconsistent…

Planning permission for the property transformation at the Brunston Castle golf course in Dailly was refused last year. But councillors overturned that decision following an appeal from applicants Michael and Jane McHarg at a South Ayrshire local review body meeting recently. It is claimed planners thought the golf course was still in operation despite it closing in January 2019 — which influenced their original decision to refuse the bid. Designs for the two storey property submitted to the council show a gym, home entertainment area, bar, cellar, quiet room, games room and playroom included in the layout.
