Posts Tagged ‘Facebook’
Qualche giorno fa ho scoperto una roba fichissima, ma per raccontarvela partiamo dall’inizio.
Quanti social network, chat, servizi e balle varie usate? Io mille, un po’ per lavoro e un po’ per non rimanere “esiliato” quando parlo con le persone. Prima di avere Facebook, ero una persona normale, e le serate erano a suon di risate per le cretinate che si trovavano su FB, ma io non ero mai “taggato”, non mi “scrivevano in bacheca”, “non partecipavo agli eventi” e non ero “fan di un ca**o”. Insomma fuori dal mondo. Alla fine mi sono ritrovato con MSN, Skype, Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter, due blog, pfff…..
Con tutto il lavoro che ho da fare in questi ultmi anni, tra università, clienti e attività Microsoft è diventato improbabile che mi si trovi su tutti tutti i giorni. E’ molto che ho messo la summercard di Vodafone 
.
E’ troppo stressante la finirei così:
e alla fine non riuscirei a vedere più entrambi i delfini:
Ho scoperto un programma GRATUITO e molto funzionale che raggruppa in una sola schermata un botto di servizi, si chiama TweetDeck 
ed è alla versione beta, ma funziona alla grande .
Ecco uno screenshot dal mio TweetDeck per Windows
Bene, il mio post l’ho fatto, ora manca solo usarlo

Hello guys! This year CodeZero team decided to participate to Imagine Cup, the largest technology competition for students in the Hearth, organized by Microsoft.
Let me spend two words on Imagine Cup, before to dig into what we’ve done.
To participate to Imagine Cup students have to create a team and submit for one of the offered categories, which may vary each year. Main categories are:
- Software Design
- Embedded development
- Game Design
- Windows Phone 7
- ….
We all have a common theme, which can vary each year, but last two years was to reach one of 8 Millennium Goals.
The competition starts on August 1st and ends on April, but this is decided by each Country. In fact Students first participate to National finals and the first team on Software Design goes to World Finals.
This year in Italy we were 250 competitors, and each year the number is growing, which means, better competitors, and better softwares!
As CodeZero we developed a software called Flexy, and we placed 2nd for Software Design! It’s been a wonderful experience.
Flexy is a software that let you have a better way to Work. Our slogan is BETTER WORK, BETTER WORLD. It does not follow directly the 8 Millennium Goals, but what we thought is that, if we can have less dirty money floating around, let people find work more easily, a good way to organize the work, we can also export this good organization and have money to build schools, reduce the ignorance, do advertising campaign, to reach Millennium Goals.
Now, people said to us, “ok, but you can get money from everywhere, even buying an ice cream and give money to Millennium Goals”. True, but is not an organized massive way to do it, and does not teach something to the community.
But anyway we didn’t directly followed the Millennium Goals, even thought that our work was HUGE, and well organized and presented.
We were amazed how difficult for the jury was to decide among 6 complex softwares (finalists).
Another aspect of the competition was to meet companies that look for talents. We meet them and we’re really satisfied how things turned out well for us. We’ll see and we’ll update as soon as possible. So just for now we won’t open to everybody our secrets as we usually do, but we’ll share the advertising video for Flexy.
For people who speaks enough italian to read some articles we are proud to point out some good articles that talks about this competition and about us (plus all other guys and teams)
