This our information age is our un-doing

So many people these days are know-it-alls. It seems after we discovered that nobody knows everything we went ahead and become the nobody. People these days have no respect for others knowledge  or expertise. Somebody will be so quick to criticize another who's field they know nothing about. Some even go ahead and argue where they don't have facts to support their knowledge.
There are a few reasons in my opinion that lead to this ,

1. Listening to others speak and taking their words as your source of information. This is common along jobless corners, at the stage, in a mat or at a local.
2. Looking at pictures in a newspaper. Barely reading the stories or sometimes reading newspapers and adopting a writers point of view in a subject.
3. Ego cause you think that since you're an authority else where then you are everywhere else.
4. And lastly guesswork. You just wanna flow with the conversation/debate and so you keep putting your 2cents.

The information age it is, wikipedia is filled in by us and so we're the people with the knowledge.. Okay, but stick to what you know and you're sure of.

Pictures have a huge impact online

Internet usage has gone up with faster connections and more coverage all over Africa. Social is for sure the main reason why we spend lot's of time online. We love to share, information, news, ideas, our feelings and most of all our photos. Pictures/photos and videos are the main reason we spend time online. In a bid to get a lot more, Online folks these days don't love lots of literature. A photo caption is enough to spread the joke which the pic should have already passed in the first place. I see photo blogs flourishing, they always get tons of comments while wordy posts 'ven though great reads may have less. see? photos communicate more.

Now this is not a repetition of your English class in standard 3, It's something you need to take into considerations the next time you're doing something online and you want to 'get traffic' to your site. Facebook bought instagr.am for quite a huge sum. There is not a direct revenue model for instagram. Twitpic is another pic repository that's gone well all in the name of pic uploads.
Think of it.... try pics

Interns, Tuko Pamoja

First of all refer to my title above, Tuko pamoja. 
I've been seeing interns all over my TL today wakufungua roho ati they don't get paid. 

#payinterns ...who are we talking to here? as far as i'm concerned the 'interns' are talking to themselves here on twitter.

Having this tweet as my support that it was interns doing the conversation, lemme Relate that to an incident that occurred recently. A woman; lady rather was complaining that they were overcharged  by a mat ati because it was mid-day and therefore the price should be 50 not 80. The thing is this lady had already gotten to her destination and if anything, before boarding the mat she was aware of the day's 'hiked fare'. So who's fooling who. You agree into something and then later complain that you deserved more...
If you should listen to somebody seeking to get a job, they go so low the employers have the last laughter. They are always willing to get a job even with no pay. The logic here is " I'll get experience and that will be my selling point on my next job". Same thing has flocked our design and dev market. The so-called upcoming developers are badly willing to do work for free or say at a throw (far) away charge. That's good because you will have reference on your portfolio to push you to the next job. But look at the flip-side of it, what if it goes sour and professionally done work (plus paid for) is better and your first 'CSR client' doesn't need your free service. Or maybe you don't get good publicity from your CSR client. Shall you again complain that clients are taking advantage of designers or whatever-you-are?


Anyway my fellow interns as we wait upon Atwoli to pass on our message to the relevant authorities, my stand is firm; tuko pamoja.

Unlimited this unlimited that

Earlier this week Dan and I had a heated debate. Both of us were right I think only that we din't have a better thing to do. Dan thinks that the concept of unlimited exists. He very much enjoys having his 'unlimited internet'... for the sake. From my view this is just the concept that since it's unlimited, you get more than you paid for and so it ends up being too worth. Saying it badly, I think people who love unlimited are in it for misuse and not for the convenience. Think of it as an earning,

So on Monday Safaricom woke up to kind of prove my view of this debate. They discontinued their so called unlimited service. What happened to the unlimited here?? The subscribers went up against safaricom's initial plans. There's nothing as unlimited internet. Let alone internet; there's no resource that is unlimited.
The reality is that even if they continued to offer the service the unlimited users would sooner begin feeling the drag in the service. 


On unlimited still, there's these hosting sellers who sell with the same catch.. Unlimited. Often when a client pings us for hosting space and we tell them of the 'limited space'; they go around comparing with other hosting. We never hear of them again... reason: they found an unlimited plan for the same price.


i love money anyway and on that note i'm off to change my hosting plans
happy month y'all
