Today, as part of our 4Afrika Initiative, we’re excited to announce another TV white spaces project – this time in Tanzania. We’re partnering with the Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH) and local internet service provider, UhuruOne, to provide affordable wireless broadband access to university students and faculty in Dar es Salaam. http://bit.ly/YEAcMf

By the end of the last decade, and Begin of the new one we owe,the ICT companies have been largely increasing in number in other parts of the globe and specifically in Africa.Even though as the number increasing,the problems are not going to stop as we always facing daily challanges especially in innovation of the new technology which is the mother of development.

It is said that most employers underutilize the creativity of their employee hence fail to capture their fertile ideas into their companies.The major reason for these can be;lack of time,absence of effective processes to manage all the ideas and the fear to demotivate the employees when ideas rejected.

Encouraging ideas is the core management task,as the curreant existing business demand great attention;stimulating the ideas is the core task in leadership,this also fascinate and endorse the organizational creativity unwillingly.

With fast changing market challanges,demand customers and smart competitors,we need new ways to innovate and raise the new challanges.Being more creative is our only way to become resilient in time of Change and Crissie will secure our sustainable success,therefore stimulating and harvesting creativity shall be our strategic priority.

The Google+ has updated a new fetures;the feature consist of the larger page viewer and positional exchanges.The google with approximately 400million users,enjoy the new features and are said to be so currious.

The other features are such as our faces have jumped from the square to the right to a cycle to the left.The endorsed features are quite different from the former features used by the go oglers,especialy the gmail interactive is still handling the matter.

1. PROFILE IMAGERY. Now, your headshot or your brand logo appears in a circle on the bottom left corner of the cover image instead of in a square to the right. The cover photo itself is much bigger, too. Instead of a long, slim bar you’ll be working with a larger area, which means you’ll have better luck finding cover imagery since the dimensions are now much easier to work with.

2. ABOUT ME. The information page is now broken down into cards (sections) with their own Edit buttons so that related pieces of information can be edited together. This is a huge improvement from the ‘Edit Profile’ button that sat at the top of the page.

3. PROFESSIONAL DETAILS. Google has taken a hint from LinkedIn and now offers a field in Google+ profiles to list your skills, and allows you to detail your current and past positions in a job description field. We assume (hope) that one of the next enhancements in this section will make the Skills field suggest recognized skills as you type. LinkedIn already does this, and as we’d expect Google, as its search engine has autocomplete capabilities already, to add the feature as well.

3. EDUCATION DETAILS. In addition to your university and graduation year, you are now also able to highlight courses you have taken. For students looking to enter the working world, this is a great way (not to mention an SEO-friendly way) to put your interests and experience on display and increase your relevance within your desired field.

If you open your blog on the left hand side options tabs you will find an option written Overview. The Blogger Overview Tab allows you to observe the page views which are related to your site and how you have been performing in terms of viewers and visitors of your blog. Inside the overview Tab you can have things like Updates, Page views, News from Blogger and tips about successful blogging.

What am interested to discuss here it is the Pageviews. Just above the digital graph which displays your blog recent activities on the right top corner you will find a link “More Stats”. This link is very important to you has a blogger to understand the traffic status of your blog.

Hint: Web analytics is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of internet data for purposes of understanding and optimizing web

On clicking the link it will take you inside the Stats tab. Inside the Stats tab you will be able to observe. Pageviews in Categories, Traffic sources and popular posts in your Blog, the pageviews categories will show you the number of the visit to your blog, currently, the day before, the month before and the total page views. Each link provides enough details on what you need to know. The traffic source shows you the main sources of your traffic wither are from a social networking site or any other particular site so that you can get a chance to update your tricks and emphasize on another source of traffic or enhance the one which you are having currently.

You can explore “more” link on just below the traffic sources tab you will be surprised with what you can find it is the “audience” tab, one of my favorite tabs. The audience tab allows you to observe your page views by country, Pageviews by Browsers and Pageviews by Operating systems showing their actual percentage. This can help you to determine what to focus on and what to enhance. For example: If most of your traffic source comes from Mozilla Firefox and you blog doesn’t function well on it you might want to do something to maintain your traffic, this is how these information can help you. For Pageviews by country it can help you to understand the source of your audience this can help you to find the local contents or contents which corresponds to the exact particular audience which is the main source of your traffic.

Remember all these tabs can be accessed directly on the left hand main column by just clicking on the Stats Tab the drop down menu will appear that will help you to navigate through the tabs and explore your options.

Actually I have been receiving a lot of questions from my readers about the easiest way to install blogger slider in your blog.

You just have to follow these simple steps. Please make sure you download your template before starting doing this. You just have to blogger, add widget then selecet HTML/JavaScript widget and paste the following codes and that’s it you are done no need to temper with the XML codes. You can replace the links with your links and the images with your own images. To see the slider in action visit my recent work www.edgarkibwana.blogspot.com
