Click.to

2011-08-22T07:09:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time, you were forced to awkwardly mark and copy text from one location and paste the text to the (hopefully correct) other location. Pictures to be uploaded had to be located and selected with the internet-browser’s file-dialog. An unwieldy, time-consuming and frequently irritating waste of time. And if the text was in another language, it had to be marked up, copied, and passed through translation-software, before being inserted in its final destination. Now, this can all happen much faster and easier. The advantages of click.to are obvious. Text, images, videos, and other documents which are selected can be sent to other applications with a single click. And the programs can even handle the selection automatically. You might say, click.to transforms everything in your computer into a hyperlink.

Faster Searches

2011-05-30T06:39:00.000-07:00

Google Instant is a new search enhancement that shows results as you type. We are pushing the limits of our technology and infrastructure to help you get better search results, faster. Our key technical insight was that people type slowly, but read quickly, typically taking 300 milliseconds between keystrokes, but only 30 milliseconds (a tenth of the time!) to glance at another part of the page. This means that you can scan a results page while you type.
The most obvious change is that you get to the right content much faster than before because you don’t have to finish typing your full search term, or even press “search.” Another shift is that seeing results as you type helps you formulate a better search term by providing instant feedback. You can now adapt your search on the fly until the results match exactly what you want. In time, we may wonder how search ever worked in any other way.

Mind Your Time

«Hoy es el mejor día de lo que nos queda de vida»

¿Cómo se mejora el clima emocional en una empresa?
Las emociones se contagian. Es muy importante el jefe inmediato: si es una persona optimista, alegre, entusiasta y con ganas, lo transmite; si es una persona quemada y destructiva, también. De buenos jefes tenemos buenos empleados y de jefes tristes, empleados tristes. Las empresas pueden fomentar un buen clima a través de una serie de mejoras para fomentar el optimismo, la alegría, la comunicación...
