  läuft derzeit hervorragend. Die Joomla-Installation ist eine wunderschöne Spielwiese, die Hauptkommunikation mit den Besuchern läuft auf der <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Siam-Katze-online/120862371307853" target="_blank">Facebook-Page</a>. Kommentare &#8230; haben wir auf der Web-Site ausgespart &#8211; das findet auf Facebook statt. Dort tummeln sich Stand jetzt 250 &#8220;Liker&#8221;. Diese kleine Community versteht sich prächtig, es werden rege Fotos online gestellt und kommentiert und die ein oder andere Frage zur Katzenhaltung/-Erziehung/-Gesundheit/-&#8230; beantwortet.<br />

  dort stecken wir derzeit nicht viel Energie hinein. Priorität haben derzeit Siam Katze Online und Susie Lux &#8211; A Big Beauty&#8217;s World. Für den (Joomla) Webauftritt müssen wir noch einiges an Content erstellen und die <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nano-Aquarium-Online/167710363253276" target="_blank">Facebook-Page</a> muss auch noch gepusht werden.<br />

  Gaaaaaanz hohe Prio. Die Site (auch hier: Joomla) ist diese Woche live gegangen und startet mit einem Best-Of-Last-Christmas-Special. YouTube-Account ist schon angelegt und bald wird es dort auch bewegte Bilder geben <img src='http://blog.abenker.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br />
  Primär werden Interessenten über persönliche Netzwerke beworben (und natürlich via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Susie-Lux-A-Big-Beautys-World/183346105015748" target="_blank">Facebook</a>)<br />

<li><a href="http://www.tierarztpraxis-d%C3%BCsseltal.de" target="_blank">Tierarztpraxis Düsselpfoten</a><br />
  Mit den beiden Tierärzten Dr. Wuchert und Dr. Hoelper verstehen wir uns sehr gut. Da wir den beiden unsere Lieblinge Aristoteles und Platon anvertrauen, freut es uns natürlich, wenn wir die Praxis ein bisschen bei ihrer <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tierarztpraxis-Dusselpfoten/107598395975609" target="_blank">Facebook-Page</a> unterstützen können.<br />

<p style="clear: both">Die Frage die untersucht wurde: &#8220;wie wird getwittert? / wie wird auf twitter zugegriffen?&#8221;. Dazu wurden über 500 Millionen Tweets über 5 Monate lang gesammelt und ausgewertet.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><a href="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/20091116_2237_Twitter-1.jpg" class="image-link"><img class="linked-to-original" src="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/20091116_2237_Twitter-1-thumb.jpg" height="214" align="left" width="378" style=" display: inline; float: left; margin: 0 10px 10px 0;" /></a>Bei Twitter wird mit hinterlegt, von welcher Applikation aus der Tweet gesendet wurde.</p>
<p style="clear: both"><strong>Marktanteil der Twitter Applikationen</strong>:<br />Hinweis: Bei dem Block &#8220;other&#8221; stecken auch Tools für das automatisierte &#8220;zufüttern&#8221; von Feeds, z.B. Twitterfeed (<a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitter_users_and_the_third_party_clients_they_use.php#comment-168995" target="_blank">Quelle</a>)<br />Weiterer Hinweis: wie M. Miller richtig <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/twitter_users_and_the_third_party_clients_they_use.php#comment-169000" target="_blank">hier</a> anmerkt: die absendende Applikation eines Tweets muss sich registriert haben bei Twitter, ansonsten wird als Quelle &#8220;via web&#8221; angegeben. Gerade viele kleinere Applikationen haben das schlicht und ergreifend nicht gemacht, so dass sie für solche Auswertungen unsichtbar bleiben, aber für Twitter.com als Client mitzählen</p>
<p style="clear: both"><a href="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/sysomos_twitter_clients_nov09-full.png" class="image-link"><img class="linked-to-original" src="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/sysomos_twitter_clients_nov09-thumb.png" height="206" width="379" style=" text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 10px;" /></a><strong>Anzahl der unterschiedlichen Twitter Applikationen pro Nutzer</strong>:<br />Es wurden nur &#8220;aktive&#8221; Nutzer berücksichtigt. Nach sysomos-Definition muss man dafür in 5 Monaten 50 mal getweetet haben.<br />Der große Block mit 2 Applikationen wird wohl hauptsächlich daran liegen, dass so mancher, wie ich z.B., einen auf den Rechner und einen auf dem Mobiltelefon hat.</p>

Studienumfang: 5.247 HR Manager von 312 Firmen über 3 Jahre. In dieser Zeit wurden 20.000 Angestellte eingestellt.<br />
<a href="http://www.leadershipiq.com/type/research/why-new-hires-fail" target="_blank">Link zur Studie</a> (gefunden via <a href="http://www.karrierebibel.de" target="_blank">Karrierebibel</a>)</p>
<p>Hauptergebnis: 46% der Neueinstellungen scheitern innerhalb von 18 Monaten<br />
Die 5 Hauptgründe für das Scheitern nach Auswertung durch Leadership IQ:<br />
- Coachability (26%): The ability to accept and implement feedback from bosses, colleagues, customers and others.<br />
- Emotional Intelligence (23%): The ability to understand and manage one’s own emotions, and accurately assess others’ emotions.<br />
- Motivation (17%): Sufficient drive to achieve one’s full potential and excel in the job.<br />
- Temperament (15%): Attitude and personality suited to the particular job and work environment.<br />
- Technical Competence (11%): Functional or technical skills required to do the job.</p>
<p>Auch interessant: es wurde keine signifikanter Einfluß des Einstellungsverfahrens festgestellt &#8211; die erfolgreichsten HR Manager haben aber einen starken Fokus auf Zwischenmenschliche und Motivations-Faktoren gelegt.</p>

<ul>
<li>“Like” – quickly mark an entry as interesting      <br />Items you liked are shown in your home feed and under “Me”, Tab “Comments and Likes” </li>
<li>Lists
<ul>
<li>regular &#8211; for people I don’t want to miss </li>
<li>qualified &#8211; for people I regularly interact with </li>
<li>personal – for people I know in real life </li>
<li>all – everyone </li>
<li>+ some topic specific lists </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>“Best-of-day/week/month” – very fast and efficient way to get an idea what was interesting today for the people I follow </li>
<li>“Imaginary Friends” – not everyone is on FriendFeed – follow them by creating their streams as an imaginary friend. </li>
<li>I also use imaginary friends for rss feeds like “twittersearch for gtd” </li>
<li>Rooms:
<ul>
<li>private room for “all time favorites” – with comments like “research further” </li>
<li>topic related rooms </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>one of my favorite FriendFeed feature: for shortened links (bit.ly, tinyurl, ..) FriendFeed shows the full url as mouse-over-text </li>
<li>Post to FriendFeed-bookmarklet (you can find it via “Tools”)      <br />I really like the ability to include pictures in your post by just clicking on them – helps you remembering what this was all about. Any text marked on the page while clicking the bookmarklet is automatically set as comment </li>

<p>Longer answer:</p>
<p>I’m constantly searching for interesting people and knowledge – Twitter is a perfect channel for me to meet people and find interesting stuff.   <br />I follow people I’m interested in – they talk about stuff they are interested in. Chance is high, that this is stuff I’m also interested in. I think you get my point.</p>
<p>Common arguments I heard against twitter:</p>
<ul>
<li>too much noise – I’m not interested in trivia     <br />my answer: follow only people, that talk about interesting things. When they talk about trivia, it normally doesn’t hurt you</li>
<li>too much traffic – I don’t have the time for so much input     <br />my answer: no one says, that you have to read everything. Twitter is a constant flow of tweets – jump in the river when you have time. Safely ignore the stream when you have no time.</li>
<li>too much redundant traffic     <br />this is perfect for me to find the really interesting things – if many people talk about the same thing it is likely to be interesting for me too. Similar to digg….      <br />To the people arguing that they read RSS and don’t need blog announcements via Twitter: RSS subscribers != Twitter followers      <br />Important for me is the point, that Twitter is short, fast and easy: many people tweet very interesting things, that they don’t have time to blog about it. If you only follow their blog posts, you miss some very cool stuff.</li>
</ul>

Currently I’m using <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Alexander_Benker" target="_blank">Xing</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=713810738" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p>
<h3>Xing</h3>
<p>You can find me on Xing here: <a href="https://www.xing.com/profile/Alexander_Benker" target="_blank">Xing</a></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/screenshot20081229134829.gif"><img class="alignnone" style="display: inline; border: 0px initial initial;" title="Screenshot 20081229 134829" src="http://blog.abenker.com/wp-content/uploads/screenshot20081229134829-thumb.gif" border="0" alt="Screenshot 20081229 134829" width="337" height="290" /></a></p>
<p>Focus of my Xing activities is work related stuff. My main language here is German.</p>
<p>What I love about Xing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Xing is very popular in Germany and I can find nearly every business contact here.</li>
<li>easy tracking of (work related) changes regarding my contacts (new company…)</li>
<li>Xing is expanding, so I hope to find international contacts here too</li>
</ul>
<p>I’m also on <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/pub/3/118/75" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a>, but I’m not using it very often.</p>
<h3>Facebook</h3>
<p>You can find me on Facebook here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=713810738" target="_blank">Facebook</a></p>

<ul>
<li>application platform<br />

<li>perfect for my photo collection (You get unlimited space for photos)</li>
