| Aspiring MENA Entrepreneurs: Egypt’s Badr IT [TNW Middle East] Posted: 05 Nov 2010 03:10 AM PDT
Back when I was a struggling freelancer my biggest problem was landing clients who actually had faith in my technical skills to get the job done. And although I had a modest portfolio it wasn’t growing as fast as I had hoped it would. That problem eventually drove me out of the freelance market to a day job that provided a steady income, but more restrictions than I had hoped for. One of the tools I relied on most was a platform called oDesk which basically provides all the required tools for people to Outsource and Offshore their work to verifiable skilled workers from all around the world. It was a heaven sent, and as most good things in life, it’s free. But there’s a catch. Similar to real life, in order to land the better contracts you need to have a proven track of solid development which includes both a good chunk of hours spent developing for clients, and a good rating. Unlike the guys from Badr IT, I didn’t have the patience. Alexandria – Egypt based Badr IT (Badr translates to full-moon) have been stacking up hours and positive feedback since December 2006 to reach a whopping 14,674 hours to date spanning 111 jobs.
The company’s main specialty is in iPhone apps for the Western Hemisphere but has been gaining popularity in a region where smartphone sales have increased by almost 32% this year alone. BadrIT recognized that the local market has some serious entry challenges that foreign markets that can be reached via platforms such as oDesk don’t. BadrIT’s CEO Muhammad Elkharashy said “Outsourcing is the suitable way for us to start our start-up and to collect client contacts. oDesk is a very powerful tool in this point. To work for local/regional client, you must be a big name in the region or you have private relations to clients. Which we did not have when we started.” And although most of that has changed since 2006 when the company started out with a couple of developers working sporadically on projects to the 15 strong team they have today, not including projects they re-outsource to local shops in Egypt when their hands are already full. As impressive as a 15 strong team might sound, they’re not all full time, so you don’t have to feel intimidated by their work, only 10 actually are. The other five include 4 part timers/students and long distance PhD student in the states. What did strike me as odd was the diversity in technologies the developers at BadrIT boast as experts in, which include everything from Object-C to Ruby-on-Rails and Flex. They do Web, Windows, iOS, and are strapping up for Android in the near future. We asked them how they came to accumulate such a colorful set of skills all local I may add, Elkharashy said: Alexandria University, Faculty of Engineering, Computer & System Engineering Department. This department is the reason. It is able to generate a highly talented software engineers and IT experts. They able to do every thing. Spirit, attitude, learning new technologies and innovation. We consider Alexandria to be the Capital of Innovation with this department.” He added: “BadrIT on a vision to “Use and Innovate technology to achieve renaissance to our nation”. Every body in BadrIT believes in this vision.” BadrIT has already developed two homegrown apps for the iPhone and are planning on releasing an iOS based game soon. When we asked them why they haven’t done any Android app development till now they replied: “Currently, we are going to enter this field. We got some reasons in past which did not encourage us to start in developing Android Apps, some of them are:
To wrap it up, we asked Muhammad Elkharashy what the most valuable lesson he’s learned from his experience as an Entrepreneur, “You must have a commitment to achieve your goals even if you can not achieve some of them, you will learn from your trial.” Then quoting Nagi Salloum’s wise taxi driver he said: “I believe in Something is better than nothing, because nothing is nothing. It's important to do something.” [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Dell to switch 25,000 employees from BlackBerrys to its own handsets [TNW Mobile] Posted: 05 Nov 2010 02:56 AM PDT
Dell employees will be offered the company’s new Dell Venue Pro – a device powered by Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system - gradually phasing out BlackBerry use. As the devices become available, employees will also be offered a choice of Android-powered smartphones. Dell’s CFO Brian Gladden was bullish in his statement, stating: “Clearly in this decision we are competing with RIM, because we’re kicking them out.” The move will save Dell an estimated 25% in “mobile communication costs”, which mostly equates to the removal of BlackBerry servers. The company is also in talks with T-Mobile USA, discussing the possibility of bulk purchasing voice minutes and data bandwidth, instead of taking out individual employee mobile tariffs. Interestingly, RIM has been unaware of Dell’s plans until now, Hadden adding, “it’s not clear to them the scope of what we’re doing”. Hadden also explained that the company could sell the huge number of returned handsets on eBay, clawing back some of the money invested in the handsets initially. Only employees with Dell-issued BlackBerrys can choose to receive a Venue Pro handset with both voice and data plans. Other employees will get Dell smartphones but will only be eligible for voice plans.Image Credit [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |

Just data:
As of this moment, I can’t find these on the Rogers site, but it is late here and all. As more info becomes available I’ll update this post. Of course if you’re like me and have but a lowly WiFi only iPad what I really want is to be able to tether my iPhone to my iPad and connect that way. But that’s a post for another day.iPadinCanada [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Rogers Planning Home Security Service [TNW Canada] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 11:25 PM PDT
After some initial “friends and family” testing Rogers could start rolling their home security bundle as early as Q1 2011. Rogers has huge pieces of the Canadian media, Internet, and communications puzzle already—is home security something that Canadians would want from Rogers? While my first thought was, probably not…maybe if Rogers offers value and reliability over what is already available, plus the ability to monitor your home through other wireless devices and the Internet… Maybe so.Photo credit [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| 3 Things Facebook Tells Us About Australian Consumers [TNW Australia] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 08:24 PM PDT
With the recent announcement of location-based Facebook Deals as a way for businesses to use the social media bohemoth as a marketing tool, I thought it would be interesting to look at the Australian Facebakers stats to see what type of audience businesses can expect by using the site. — 1. Australians are heavy users of social media So first things first, if you’re a business in Australia, there’s a strong chance that your customers are on Facebook. While our population of around 22.5 Million ranks us 52nd in the list of the world’s most populous countries, our 9.3 Million accounts places us at no.15 in terms of the countries with the most Facebook users. So, as a small business, the decision to use Facebook to engage with your customers is probably a good one — 2. Our tastes aren’t what you would call “sophisticated” Looking at the top 5 Australian brands on Facebook (measured by number of followers/likes) we have
So we’re a nation of UggBoot wearing, Pringle and Coke consuming, fun park goers, that love to chew gum. Nice. — 3.Our media preferences are a little…odd So if you want an integrated, cross media marketing strategy where else, other than Facebook, should Aussie businesses be targeting. Below is a list of the top 5 Australian media properties on Facebook (based, once again, on followers/likes)
This list may suggest an underlying love for our Tasman neighbours or that Australians aren't really engaging with old-school media on Facebook. My guess is the latter and shows that traditional media still don’t get how powerful Facebook, and social media more generally, is as a way to engage with your audience. — Of course this has been a bit of fun for a Friday arvo, but still, it’s interesting to see what’s keeping over 9 Million Australians occupied these days. img src = “ITAC“[Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Qantas Missed the Mark [TNW Social Media] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 08:14 PM PDT
Passengers were quick to distribute pictures, messages, and video around the Web after the Sydney-bound plane's engine exploded, causing the aircraft to return to Singapore. Twitter was a-buzz with rumours of the incident yesterday, as many reported the plane had crashed on the Indonesian island of Batam. In fact, metal fragments from the engine fell onto the island, hitting houses, a car, and a classroom full of children, reports the Age. Without an official statement from Qantas, however, the Internet went into a frenzy as incorrect assumptions of a crash and photos of the damaged engine abounded. Qantas runs an official Twitter account, @qftravelinsider, offering tips for travellers. A regularly occurring message from the account was posted again yesterday in answer to queries about the A380 incident.
Another account run by the airline, @qantasusa, offered an update early this morning (Australian EST) directing queries to their official statement.
Whilst these measures are important, and Qantas deserves props for getting the information out there, the time it took for an official statement to surface led to wild rumours running rife, and worried families getting the wrong information. We've seen evidence before of breaking news developing on Twitter, and it's about time companies realized they need to use social media in an instance like this to keep their brand in-tact, and keep customers informed. Although the backlash may not extend to sales loss or a court case, this is an obvious example of a company misunderstanding how to use social media tools effectively, and the benefits they can bring. Nestle's palm-oil disaster earlier this year is another example of customers overwhelming a company when it comes to social media, and how a slow response can be damaging for the brand. According to Tony at Igloo, Nestle even tried to remove the incriminating video posted by Greenpeace, and deleted negative comments from their Facebook page. On the other hand, companies like Comcast and even Domino's are making a name for themselves as companies that listen, care, and most importantly, respond. This post explains how Comcast has replied promptly to customer feedback via Twitter in the past, improving on their notably lacking customer service standard. Domino’s took a different approach, using video to apologize for an embarrassing employee stunt. Hopefully Qantas will learn from this experience and be first with the news next time an incident like this threatens their image.Tnooz [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| OS X 10.6.6 beta released to developers. Surely 10.6.5 is just around the corner… [TNW Apple] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 08:06 PM PDT
According to the release notes there are no known issues with 10.6.6 but that it contains developer support for fetching and renewing App Store receipts. This is clearly a reference to Apple’s Mac App store, announced last month and due, probably, before the end of the year. Earlier this week, Apple invited developers to submit their applications to the Mac App Store in preparation for that release. All this rapid development points to two things; A public release of OS X 10.6.5 can’t be far off and Apple’s next major release of OS X ‘Lion’ is likely to be on target for a summer 2011 launch. All in all. with iOS4.2 due any day now and now a new OS X release imminent, it’s lining up to be a busy few days for Apple users. Here’s hoping that the OS X 10.6.5 release doesn’t prove to be a troublesome as previous OS X updates that left some Macs refusing to boot.image, 9 to 5 Mac [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Google changes Contacts API terms, says Facebook leaves “users in a data dead end” [TNW Google] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 07:48 PM PDT
TechCrunch, which reported the change in terms, got a statement from a Google spokesperson, saying:
So assuming that Facebook and other sites don’t comply with the new terms of service, Google will seemingly cut those services off for not “supporting data portability.” Without a deal in place with Facebook to gain access to contacts data (as TechCrunch notes that Yahoo and Hotmail have), Google can’t use Facebook data as a way for Google users to find and invite friends into Google services through their connections on Facebook. So Google has decided to take a stand and cut off access to its contacts. TechCrunch argues that Google may face some backlash for this move because it is being less “open”, but honestly, we kind of see it the other way around. Now, it could be that a random Internet user does not have either a Google or a Facebook account. In that case, if the user signs up on Facebook first, then say, signs up for a Gmail account, that user really isn’t losing anything. If, however, that user joins Google first and then later joins Facebook and wants to bring all of his Google contacts over, unless things change, that user wouldn’t be able to bring anything over to Facebook under these new terms. So, who is that user going to be upset with? Google for making something (the Contacts API) available for any developer/service to use that reciprocates, or will that user be mad at Facebook for not taking the necessary steps to properly implement Google contacts importing? Who would you be mad at? Of course, the number of Internet users out there that don’t have either a Google or a Facebook account is continually dwindling, but that’s not really the point, is it? The point is that Google wants a level playing field, and it’s taking its (hundreds of millions) of Gmail accounts off the table until it feels the love back.TechCrunch [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Make James Bond and Bruce Wayne jealous with one of these [TNW Shareables] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 06:23 PM PDT Expect Daniel Craig and Christian Bale to demand that their next films have one (or many) of these: a sports car designed to change into a helicopter and a boat designed by British concept designer Philip Pauley. Our only question? Does it come in green?

| Gowalla running six week promotion with Whole Foods, Tazo Tea [TNW Location] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 04:54 PM PDT This one seemingly slipped under the radar with all of yesterday’s Facebook mobile/location announcements, but starting from yesterday, Gowalla is running a new six week promotion with Whole Foods and Tazo Tea.
The idea of pairing a food product with a supermarket chain for a check-in promotion is a good one. Unlike when you check-in at Starbucks, let’s say, where obviously the venue and the product are owned by the same company, a supermarket contains hundreds or thousands of different brands/foodstuffs. So, as a check-in service, once you start working with the supermarket chain, then you can figuratively just go down the aisle and pick out brands to work with in conjunction with that store, i.e. what’s to stop Gowalla from going to another brand – say Puffins cereal (which is made by Barbara’s Bakery – yes we had to look that up), and doing a Whole Foods / Puffins cereal campaign? Right, not much as long as Whole Foods is on board with it. As far as the Whole Foods / Tazo Tea campaign is concerned, however, here are the details: check-in at Whole Foods nationwide over the next six weeks (Gowalla has outfitted every Whole Foods within its app with a custom sticker) and you’ll get a chance to either win some tea (as well as the associated stickers of course) and/or a $25 gift certificate to Whole Foods. If you collect all three of the Tazo bottle stickers, you’ll get the Tazo Pin. That’s it, happy tea drinking, you health-minded The Next Web readers you!Gowalla blog [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Now this is utter genius. [TNW Shareables] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 04:19 PM PDT I can safely say I wouldn’t have thought of this. Created by Australian company Dreamfarm, the “Tapi” turns your ordinary faucet into a drinking fountain simply by pinching the bottom of the contraption. Marvelous I tell you, marvelous. To get your hands on one use this map (worldwide) to find a local store – should only set you back around $5.

| Gmail Gets 5 New Themes [TNW Google] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 04:05 PM PDT What in God’s name took so long? New themes for Gmail are finally here. They’re not spectacular but at least they’re a change from my feeble tree theme. So what are you after? A bit of minimalism?
Or a bit of fun? Test them out here. [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Is this proof that the Verizon iPhone 4 is in fact coming in January? [TNW Mobile] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 04:02 PM PDT Not much to say here, other than to raise a question. We announced yesterday that Verizon would be releasing an “iconic device” next Tuesday. In the comments, a TNW reader links this image as his “proof” that the phone would actually be releasing in Q1 2011:
Of course, it lacks the usual pomp and circumstance of past leaked emails from Verizon. It also seems to be a bit plain English for the company. There’s also the fact that this is dated October 10th of this year. Why, if that’s the case, haven’t we seen this picture before now? Is it too good to be true? You tell us in the comments.

| Haven’t played with Kinect? Watch an awkward Fox News reporter demo it [TNW Microsoft] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 03:38 PM PDT
However, instead demoing it for you ourselves, we have opted to instead grant that humiliation to someone else. Enter our Fox News reporter, Kinect and all, for a rather passionate walk (wave?) through of the device and just what it can do. Before you watch the clip, be sure and check out all our previous coverage of Kinect if you are not yet up to speed as to just what we are talking about. Now get watching!

| Try This: Drunktender. Turn your night out into a social drinking game [TNW Apps] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 03:33 PM PDT
Drunktender is one of those applications that you’ll download but only use on (hopefully) rare occasion. Regardless, it’s an interesting twist to a night out at the bar. As you order drinks, you type the drink name into Drunktender. Drunktender will then respond by not only showing you what’s in the drink, but also allowing you to claim it and show you what your blood alcohol level will be at after you do. Still not enough? How about turning it into a social experiment with your friends? Drunktender allows you to post your drinks and your BAC to Facebook or send an SMS message. There’s nothing quite like knowing exactly when you’ve consumed the thing that left you face down in the floor, no?
As a bonus to the app, you can also use it as a cookbook, of sorts, for drinks that you’ve been wanting to make. The recipes are plentiful, and there are step-by-step instructions as to how to make each of them. For a free app, that’s a nice value-added piece. Give Drunktender a try. It’s certainly worth a download whether you’re mixing drinks at home, or at an after party for The Next Web conference.

There was a problem in the feature called SmartScreen Filter, a tool that warns users of IE8 when they hit a page that Microsoft has marked as malicious, usually in regards to phishing. It helps to keep people safe, and similar features can be found in other browsers, perhaps most notably in Chrome. However, just for today, and just for Internet Explorer 8 (not 9, as it turns out), SmartScreen Filter went on a bender, telling users that hundreds of websites that in fact were not malicious, were. You can see the potential annoyance for the average Joe, cruising about looking for something to tickle their fancy, only to have IE8 toss up a roadblock to a trusted site. Accoding to ZDnet, among the sites temporarily marked as dangerous were financial and banking websites. What went wrong? No one seems to know yet, but Microsoft claims to have solved the problem, at least according to their Twitter account. Let’s hope that IE9 never has this problem.ZDnet [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| New website “Fancy” wants to digitally tag everything in the world [TNW Apps] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 02:47 PM PDT
Those are the words of Joseph Einhorn of thingd, the company behind the new site Fancy. Fancy is a visual cataloging service similar to Tumblr, FFFFound and Pinterest. The idea is to let users curate collections of things they like and tag and add these items to feed into a giant database. The site is a collection of fashion, photography, graphic design images, furniture and quirky items like this Alien Abduction Lamp by Lasse Klein. For now you have to be invited to Fancy and unfortunately registration is a bit more manual as Fancy hasn’t incorporated a Facebook login yet. Fortunately for you guys we’ve got a few invites to give away. To get hold of one, visit this URL and request an invite, your wish will be granted almost immediately. Adding things to your Fancy collection is fortunately a breeeze. Drag the button below to your browser’s bookmarks bar. When you’re visiting any website and see something you like, just click and pick an image. What makes The Fancy different from other image bookmarking sites? Unlike Pinterest or Tumblr, users are encouraged to tag parts of images, which are then added to the overall database. Users can also easily embed items onto external websites. In this photo you will see that the user has tagged several parts of the image. All of those tags are tied back to Fancy’s database. Hover over the image below: The site is working on connecting ‘thing pages’ to a location where users can find or buy that item. They are also working on adding a social aspect to the site so you can either add or follow friends’ and members’ things. Unfortunately searching for items on Fancy is about as annoying to do as it is on Tumblr. They are still developing the site, but right now I think it’s a nifty start. One more site to remind us of how beautiful the things we make are. Stay tuned: thingd is working on a few “major improvements to make Fancy really interesting” in the next few weeks along with a mobile app. [Notice: this is the RSS feed for ALL stories from across The Next Web - that means a lot of stories every day - for just our top stories, subscribe to our Top Stories RSS feed here.] |
| Google Finance now lets you chart your portfolio [TNW Google] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 01:49 PM PDT Google today is adding a useful feature to investors that use Google Finance – Portfolio Charting. Before, Finance just showed a chart for each individual stock, but now – using transaction data users have either entered and/or uploaded – the chart shows the “market value of each portfolio at a given time”. According to a post on the Google Finance Blog,
To use Portfolio Charting, you go to ‘Portfolio related news’ on your Portfolio page, then you can use the chart to view your portfolio against the Dow, S&P 500, NASDAQ and other indices as well as against a particular stock (using the stock symbol). Certainly a welcome addition to Google Finance.

| Marketplace submission for WP7 is now open to the public [TNW Microsoft] Posted: 04 Nov 2010 01:35 PM PDT
Now anyone willing to pay the $99 registration fee can sign up as a developer for the platform, opening the phones to the world, something will please both users and developers alike. According to NeoWin, once an application has been submitted it will take Microsoft between three and five days to process it and then have it published. With the launch of the phones in the US in just four days, it seems reasonable that it will not be until after the first few days of the phone being available here that we will see a wave of new applications for the handsets. If you are a developer, you can head over to App Hub to get more details for the development process. Oh, and if you are a student, the fee is waived, so you can develop for free. Below is the note that Microsoft sent out announcing the opening of the platform:
