Dose of Events I’ve been mapping out the in’s and out’s of my new Idea to leverage www.YourZed.com’s potential. This is not really a rev model or the kind of business model wherein I get millions from users of visitors. This site would be a source of additional passive income aside from my other personal investments. This is basically a tool wherein everybody can use this site as a gallery of events or happenings in their life. T’was with friends and colleagues that inspired me to realize this one. They all wanted to have a venue wherein they can exchange comments as to the impact of various events. This future tool can be used as well to product launching and startup reviews from around.

Those were the start-ups and bigfish who taught me a lot of things on how I can seize an opportunity and make the most out of it. Aboitiz Co taught me of how to be different. Taught me how to excell in one field over the other. Taught me how to break new grounds thru various initiatives spearheaded by an able boss. Taught me how to look for better ways in order to survive in this ever changing world. T'was with Aboitiz Co how I realized my true potential. I was so naive about how things works and how to manage people. T'was with this company that I pursued various agenda's and activities just to keep the pace and demands of the Company. I wanted to be one of those go to guys in any terms that is why I constantly look for opportunities to seize upon and put it in backpack or my portfolio. In this way I can fully tell myself that I'm not far behind if my company wanted me to handle huge projects. Unfortunately, the water runs dry and I felt bored worst demoralized thoug...

Human Resource Philippines 1st Convention This is the first ever and so far the biggest gathering of all Human Resource professionals under the banner of Hr Philippines. This has been the hottest news in every human resource forums in the country to date including my forum Hr Cebu. HR Professionals from any directions will be coming for the first ever Hr online organization gathering and will be discussing the latest trends and practices affecting HR and the organization in general. I’m anticipating this event including them. All the way from Cebu going to Manila just to interact with these professionals whom I used to converse with online? This event would really be amazing. After all, every HR member is looking forward to this event. This will be the right to time to interact with them personally and exchanged views of the function or most likely exchange calling cards. Now, my problem is I don’t have yet any calling cards. I guess this will be the right time to provide some for me. ...

Had a bad day lately but I guess It wont stop me from pursuing new things today. I was thinking of this crazy idea again though it's a replica of geek idea I bumped from one of this techwebsites where I use to park. This idea somehow simple with the likes of YouTube and the likes but I'll be concentrating on one major area since this is a hot issue in my country todate. I was thinking of a good brand name thus, I purchased YourZed.com . Kinda cool. Actually, this is not my first priority brand but MyZed.com has been owned someone else this I shifted to one common words. So much about the spinnings coz it would really be hard on my part to work on brands since crazy names would entail a huge amount of bucks to market and brand it. For now, i'll be looking for cheap programmers who can help me configure two features of the site. I guess a new project and a new initiative do hope this will be a good venue to gather vigilantes out there..

Business Plans in the new era – DOT-com success As to how vital your business plans are if you’re looking into VC’s and Angels to help fund your Internet startup? This has been a basic question to Mr. Dot COM Entrepreneurs from across the globe who wanted to be the next Google, Yahoo, & BitTorrent. Another question is does the world need your product or service? Startups emerges because the saw the gap and wanted to filled it in. Basically, some Internet startups started from a hobby or interest. If you’ll check with some know websites like Craig Newmark of Craigslist.org he started his website to help out some friends. My website is also born out of interest and hobby. This has been a source of my inspiration since lately wherein I feel so bored about life being an hr professional whereby you can’t implement various interventions because you don’t run the show. With this stuffs in mind, now I’m so eager of running my own show and I guess running this website will be the sole platf...

Capitalize on Merger’s “In business or economics a merger is a combination of two companies into one larger company. Such actions are commonly voluntary and involve stock swap or cash payment to the target. Stock swap is often used as it allows the shareholders of the two companies to share the risk involved in the deal. A merger can resemble a takeover but result in a new company name (often combining the names of the original companies) and in new branding ; in some cases, terming the combination a "merger" rather than an acquisition is done purely for political or marketing reasons .” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merger So how can a recruiter capitalize on mergers? Certainly, most mergers does not end up the way it used to be. Some circumstances such us clash of cultures would likely occur due to the fact that involve praties are coming from different angles of the market though a thorough assesment has been done that such integration would succeed. Such move by the m...

“Rent your Stuff” – Lost? This is basically a classifieds ads idea wherein you've got a lot of competitors. One should remember that if you want your site to get noticed, you should have one crazy idea that fills the gap. You should have that first mover advantage or you should build your own category for you to get noticed. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter really if you have the market coz most crazy ideas don't have any market yet. They’re just there because they saw a gap and wanted to fill that gap. Latter on, people noticed it and find it cool. Some are born out of curiosity and hobby my site is not exempted from this (www.lagahit.com). Going back to "rent your stuff", your just basically changing it's name not its concept or idea, but if you have a good idea on how to be different from them then that’s a lot better.

Knowledge vs. Wisdom Knowledge Management has been the latest fad being adopted by Senior Managers now a day. But we should take note that not all fads are quite effective since there are a lot of things needed to be considered in choosing to adopt a certain fad and Knowledge Management is one fad that made waves in the new economy i.e. BPO Industry. Especially from BPO Industry that they wanted to know what there sub-offices are doing that is why they resulted to integrating all the systems with the use of sophisticated infrastructures. Adopting knowledge management in the work place should start first on a shared vocabulary idea. One should understand basically what is knowledge and how to acquire it. Actually, knowledge can be and even can be bought. Of course when you avail of trainings and seminars then you acquire such knowledge. But the problem is execution. Execution has been the most common pitfalls by some organizations. They tend to plan superbly but lack the execution part...

Mission Statements Mission statements are important when you’re up to something big. Mission statements are easy to materialize but hard to realize. Mission statements should set of missions from individual person up to the organization in general. The hard part of this is how you align those individual missions according to the organization's mission in general. Mission statements are sometimes vague if you’re a start up. But generally, mission statements are all directed to profit though some would sugar coat it as "towards a rewarding user experience" that is service oriented sites tends to innovate all the time to give their users and guest a rewarding experience. This is like a garden analogy. We don't want this guys just come on go without staying a little bit longer at our gardens. This is also one proven fact that users can't find one site that offers various features that suits every persons needs. In this case we build higher walls add more flowers and f...

Enhance your writing & communication skills while earning This has been stuffs that I’ve been pondering since I started blogging. Honestly, I’m so poor in grammar and spelling. Good thing MSWord and is their to help me with it but sad to say this technology has some lapses also just like me. It’s really a fact that we can’t really rely on MSWord’s capabilities of checking its complete sentence structure and grammar up to some extent. But I guess I have no choice if I wanted to enhance my writing together with my communication skills. I’ve been reading books since the last three years when I joined the Hr bandwagon. It has been my desire to learn some valuable lessons on how to manage people effectively tapping their innate latent and honing their potentials for them to be employable or be an achiever in their various fields. Actually, I don’t settle learning certain fields in HR rather I wanted to learn more on HR at a full spectrum because I’m quite comfortable at that place and c...

Virtual collaboration Virtual collaboration has been a hottest online strategy being adopted by web start-ups since the dawn of the dot-coms. This has been also an effective tool on my part since it gave me the benefits of knowing more go-to guys in my category “webeprenuers”. If you’re a start-up who lacks funding in terms of financial and knowledge then collaboration or strategic alliances are good options to consider. This strategy has been proven by top web performer and could get you to where you wanted to go. I’ve been doing virtual collaborations since the past two years before concentrating on a core project. Collaborations P2P & B2B for future benefit would really be good if you’re looking forward to building your won virtual empire. Success of this kind of initiative is dependent upon its execution and management for you to allocate the needed resources effectively. Managing alliances is so crucial that if you’ll neglect this part you’ll soon notice that you’re screwing y...

Bloggers and Users! This article will be my latest project right now. This article has been inspired by two of my start up's recently. So I guess you'll have a good reason to drop by at my blog. Rodelio Lagahit www.Lagahit.com

Figuring Out! Late for posting blogs again. Anyways, I’ve been trying to figure out lately on how to maximize my Blog in collaboration with my Job Directory . I was able to link URL and redirected it to one of my fantastico scripts. I was looking for a better content management solution in my toolbox for me to handle it with easy while updating my contents regularly. Sad to say I was not impressed as to how Joomla loads itself. So slow and such a waste of time for it to load. I transferred to other café’s hopping that it would solve my predicament but out put was still the same. And for my last resort? I think I have to settle with blogspot for the mean time in order for me to post updated articles regularly. In this way I wouldn’t have any trouble on loading the contents since Blogspot loads in a snap. It would surely be a problem also on the user’s side since most users hate waiting. Geared for a great blogging experience Rodelio Lagahit www.Lagahit.com

“Passion to make a Difference – an HR Cebu Story” This has been inspired by a simple yet profound conversation I had with Elena Maramba an aspiring HR professional braced by a recent initiative by HR Philippines spearheaded by Jing Ureta of Marbel University together with it’s ever supportive core team. HR Philippines was the source of my desire to found HR Cebu and sell it to HR Philippines as a regional group with the recognition of HRD Gateway. Passion indeed could make you surmount the insurmountable. It’s because of passion that we ignite and habit to keep us going. This has been a lesson learned from my previous readings on various blog’s and forums that I used to park and scoop around latest news about technology and potential big ideas. Some of which are potential googler’s in the making who are in the constant lookout for potential VC’s and angels for them to sell their big ideas. Passion indeed could make you fathom the unfathomable. Just the other night this close c...

Stereotyping: How I hate young recruiters from BPO Industry! A critique to young recruiters in the BPO Industry especially from the contact center industry. I just can’t imagine why they’re so fun of stereotyping applicants. If not from schools then from what type of industry you’ve learned stuffs. Is this the kind of training they got form their respective organizations? Are these the one’s being taught to them by their immediate heads on how to get quality and promising applicants? Is this a proven technique as to acquire quality hires? Young as they are there’s still plenty of lessons still to be learned. I just hoped that they’d realize this early that sometimes real talents are concealed in rough surfaces. It takes a fine craftsman to mold a masterpiece and time to test its determination. You’ll never know that those résumé’s your dumping is gold and right before you knew it they’ve already made your competitor a great company to work with earning enormous profits. Another scenari...

“Intangible assets – How much does it really worth? Organizational entry isn’t just about finding the right person at the right time for the right job. It is also about keeping the right person. But how can we keep such valuable asset amidst the growing industries that promises to offer a fun place to work with plus perks together with extremely high starting rate? This is just one of those deep-seated questions being thrown now days by HR executives in every round table brainstorming there is. This has been one of the reasons why thinkers such us J. Collins & Porras adopted “built to last concept”, R.M Kanter urged executives to become “change masters” & Welch embraced “boundaryless” organization initiated with an open-book strategy just to encourage innovation and creativity to better position their respective organizations. To borrow one CEO’s statement “Take away my assets and leave my people.” This is one proof of how valuable these intangibles ar...

So whats that suppose to mean? This has been my previous learnings from my 3 year stint in the HR arena. You have to be a company of your own. I'd like to share this self taught learning reinforced by various readings to fellow job seekers out there. Actually I'm still actively looking for a new skill and challenge to embrace hopefully a big one to a new company (BPO preferred). Job seekers should think like a company or act like a company equipped with the latest tools and competencies for you to be marketable enough to customers around. And who are these customers? Employers of course. Fresh from college? So how do you guys market yourselves? Well mostly fresh grads usually brag their diploma's, grades and licenses but I tell you some employers don't care about these stuffs because past performance cannot guarantee them that your worth the investment though some schools of thought would still agree that it's a good source of information on how you'll perform i...

I use to reflect on this subject long before when I used to surg around Yehey . For everyone to know Yehey is also a service site based in the Philippines and considered to be the No. 1 search engine based in the country. Yehey offers services like other search engine does. I was also delighted last time when I used to be active to this search engine because they offer freebies like every log in or surfing you inside their walls you are given points for you to redeem it after. Lately, yehey has been re-positioning their search engine. A lot of cool stuffs were added to spice up its user experience plus its new look.. I find its template cool and simple yet very attractive to users of its kind. Now the question of branding comes in? Do they posses the kind of name that can transform them into a global player in the long run? Or do they posses a good name? Or they're just considered as a shadow of Yahoo ? We all know that Yahoo is a force to reckone with but I dont Yehey can. No m...

Still figuring out how to bring my job directory to its fullest. I was inspired by a lot of web gurus from around. It's not about millions bucks that I'm after but rather being the best at what I do. I just wanted to be a different recruiter from the rest. In my opinion, you can never be a perfect recruiter if you don't have that network to tap with. Bug's are still present and I've been receiving an average of 10 emails a day from my regesitered users. Concerns were still the same as to the problem of log'n in to acces our features. Worst one of my admin menu has still has errors on it of which my programmer cant fix it due to his present engagements. Yes, his a freelance web geek who happens to be gifted enough to learn PHP & SQL before entering college. Tough huh? My programmer is just kid fresh from high school yet curious enough to dissect the whole thing and able to produce such a wonderful product of emagination though I conceptualized the whole p...

I just got my oracle subscription this afternoon. I never expected this one since I have'nt receive any since the other month. Going back this subsicription is for free thanks to oracle . I'm expecting this magazine to be a good read. if you guys want the same subscription you may proceed to oracle magazine . This magazine has been very helpful to me on my quest to be educated about the latest technologies being used by geeks and wonks. Oracle magazins are a good read so I would suggest to grab a copy while its free. Rodelio Lagahit www.Lagahit.com

Ask.com will publicly be re-launching their new search engine. As we all know ask.com is the 4th largest widely used search engine in the planet. With this recent milestone on their service expect them to grab a certain share in the search engine category. I found this news at Techcrunch this a.m.

A friend ( www.gklim.com ) of mine introduced me or us to this new gimick of a certain company that provides free call to beat www.skype.com . You may check them at www.jajah.com and try their features and the service. As we all know skype has been making waves lately but this time a new promising rival wanted to challenge skype's position. Jajah will be offering registered members call one another for free for about 500 minutes a month (which mean you can call out to any mobile or landline anywhere around the world for 500 minutes a month for free). This surely be a good alternative in calling colleagues outside the country. What's the big difference, actually skype only offers free P2P conversation to registered members thru the computer but Jajah dont have this but rather they do it over the phone. So why not try it...

Apple's highly anticipated iPhone will be available June 29 in the US, according to their website http://www.apple.com/iphone/phone/ . For iPhone review you may check on the url provided. With this anticipation Apple's stock rose last month and expected to hit heights come iPhone's releasing to the public of which AT&T is the exclusive marketing arm. This new technology conceptualized by Steve Jobs would surely make waves come June 29th for this iPhone is a combination cellphone, media player & wireless Web-surfing device for a reasonable price. IPhone may not be the next iPod but it would surely inspire other providers to enhance mobile tech because for sure iPhone’s impact would surely be devasting because based on surveys by http://www.changewave.com that interesting figures would really be buying this new iPhone. For Philippine cell phone fanatics? I guess this will surely be a hit in the market. Remember this is not your ordinary phone.

It took me 2 years to realize that I need to settle for one blog account for documentary purposes or for web updates. I've tried registering various blog accounts but none of it sustained. The fact is I don't care or it's just that I'm not good in writting or expressing my crazy thoughts and ideas. To date, I'm more than willing to settle for one blog account and start blog'n for updates about "my own paradigm of the web". As you can see everybody is affected by this genra. We can't neglect it anymore due to the fact that wherever we go or whatever transactions we do it would somehow be connected to the web - information superhighway. This blog account would focus on the latest tech news in the country and wherever my curiousity reaches. I was also motivated to do this personally because aside from being hooked up to this "techy" thing It's really my passion to be involve in remodeling the web for greater use to everyone. Flood everyo...
