awesomize.me Poised To be the Intelligent Platform for the Social Media

January 3, 2011 by Elias Shams 9 Comments

In a few days, it will be exactly one month that we introduced the Awesome Companies feature that allows the users to create a page for their companies on awesomize.me. From the start, I knew that there was something complimentary about this feature to all other pages that companies create on other social media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. I just didn’t know what and how to spell it out.

Awesome Apps to improve your Schmoozing Skills

June 22, 2010 by Elias Shams 4 Comments

Given majority of jobs are found through networking, in case you are not good in schmoozing and mingling, here are several Apps/tools to improve your networking skills. Even if you are good at networking, these apps will still come handy.

Unfortunately, the apps are just for iPhone. Hope someone builds them for Android and Blackberry soon:

1. MeetMe: There’s nothing more annoying than emailing back and forth with a colleague to try to figure out where to meet up for coffee, lunch or drinks. For these situations, there’s MeetMe ($0.99), an app designed to help people meet in the middle. You input two locations (or use your current location and input your colleague’s address) and it locates suitable venues in the middle. The search can be narrowed down by type of venue, and you can store contacts and venues in your favorites for future use. From there, you can email directions to yourself and your colleague. The only thing left to do is meet up and have a good time. Read more of this post
