StumbleUpon


StumbleUpon

As you all can see at the end of my post there is a stumbleUpon logo. Now if you don’t know what StumbleUpon is I will explain it below.

StumbleUpon is a social network site. It’s not quite like facebook or twitter but it has a uniqe aspect, website sharing. When u have a SU account you can like webpages and these webpages are then in the stumbe rotation. Other members of the society can “stumble” for websites that are related to their topics of choice. This can bring you to websites you wouldn’t normally find by just looking on google. 

SU is fairly popular as it has over 15 million members. Every stumbler (member) has a profile page where he can interact with others or just go through their friends favorite websites.

So anyone that likes to look for new interesting websites should definitely subscribe to SU and begin stumbling!

LinkedIn: The resume of the future


LinkedIn: The resume of the future

Eight years ago LinkedIn was founded to keep in touch with all your business contacts. At this moment there are about 100 000 000 people who have a LinkedIn profile. But LinkedIn has a lot more to offer than just keeping in touch with your contacts. 

Like any other social network site you have to create an account and upload your profile picture. The main difference between let’s say facebook and LinkedIn is that people can only see your profile picture so the embarrassment of being tagged in a college photo is gone. 

LinkedIn is also used for finding a job. Nowadays companies post their job offers online so a LinkedIn account is your perfect reference. Make sure to enter a valid email address when you’re signing up to the site because that’s where all the information is send to. Also don’t be afraid to ask for some references of your old job. The more references you have the more chance you get picked for the new job. 

Make a lot of contact with other companies/employees or check out the contacts of your friends. The bigger your social network is the faster you’ll get a job. 

Did you found the company of your dreams? Make sure to follow them by clicking on “Company follows”. 

LinkedIn also has a mobile application which is very useful if you don’t want to miss anything there’s happening.

Movie review: The green lantern


Movie review: The green lantern

The green lantern is a super hero movie based on the dc universe comic books. The movie was released in 2011 and was created by Bill Finger and Martin Nodell. 

Normally I do like superhero movies such as Spiderman, batman and even iron man. But this movie was pretty horrible. The cast of the movie included Ryan Reynolds and Blake Liveley. These two actors played in a lot of different movies/television shows but I must say their performance in this movie was not great. There was no sign of chemistry between the main characters and there was lack of a good story. 

Nothing really happened during the whole movie. The story was real simple. One bad guy wants to destroy earth and mister “green lantern” saves the planet on his own.

I hope the next Spiderman movie will be much better than this, but hey! we’ll see.

Mercedes c63 amg Black series


Mercedes c63 amg Black series

The new c63 amg black series is one of the latest creations of Mercedes. The c-class has about 517 bhp and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds. The black series will go beyond 300 km/h. 

The amg team used parts of the SLS amg to make the c63 lighter and more powerful. The cars has a 7 speed gearbox with launch control so you’ll never miss a gear when racing your neighbor. The sound that the c63 amg black series creates is comparable with that of thunder so everyone will hear you coming from a 3 km distance. 

The price is estimated at around 100 000 euros.
