Digital tip of the week – How to change your Twitter handle
Yes, you created your Twitter handle a few years ago, without knowing so well what you were doing. And now you want to change it to a more professional looking name. You can do it easily by going to Settings and then “Username.” If your new name is available, you can change it, and instantly you will be @NewName, without losing a single follower.
All your Twitter posts, both new and old, will be rebranded with the new name. But any tweet or retweet you were mentioned in will still be under your old name, and will no longer be linked to your account, so think twice before you change your handle, because there is no step back once you do that.

Happy Halloween!!! Have fun with Mobile!
There was an exciting start to IBM’s Insight conference in Las Vegas starting first with our Outstanding Partners !!! And did you know that this is the LARGEST Big Data conference in the world!
As Bob Picciano said “Data is the WHAT; Cloud is the HOW, and Engagement is the WHY”
Here’s are just some of the exciting Facts that we’ve learned on the first day!
- 71% of companies planning to increase budgets for analytic systems and 60% of leading companies – compared to just 29% of lagging organizations – are increasing big data and analytics investment by double digits over the next two years.
- Most companies estimate they’re analyzing a mere 12% of the data they have, according to a recent study by Forrester Research. Is this good or bad? Are they missing out on data-driven insights hidden inside the 88% of data they’re ignoring?
- >91% of big data deployments are planned to augment existing data warehouse not replace them
- From IBM’s Business Tech Trend Study, nearly 70% of leading companies say analytics are integral to how their organizations make decisions, compared to fewer than 20% of lagging organizations
- 89% of leading companies have mature big data and analytics capabilities – 2x more than lagging companies.
- 74% of leading companies have most of the big data and analytics skills they need – 2 times more than lagging companies
- 33% of leading companies have an enterprise-wide analytics strategy – nearly 7 times more than lagging companies
- More than 80% of leading companies plan to increase use of social and mobile analytics over the next two years
- 80% of all data is geo-spatially managed in some way –Robin Jones
- A medical record is worth twice as much as a credit card on the black market.
And my 2 favorite quotes of the day. “Complacency is the early stage of irrelevance!” and “Innovation is key. Its engine sits on two pillars: Culture and Team”.
The summary section on your LinkedIn profile is your presentation letter to the world and the way you can encourage people to read on. Simplicity is key to have a good summary that will reflect and summarize the rest of your profile. Here are some recommendations:
- It should be detailed, but concise. But try to use the 2,000 characters available leveraging key words and phrases related to the role and the business.
- Be organized: try to not have your summary look too cluttered, instead break it up with Subheads and make it easy to read.
- Include your contact information. Make it easy for people to find you.
Imagine if you had access to a single platform that enabled you to create, manage, and convert multiple file formats. Think of it as content transformation on steroids! One could literally save untold amounts of time and even resources with such a platform tool!

Spam is a reality in LinkedIn too. Even if you have the choice to select your connections, you might allow someone by mistake. Sometimes a fake or misused profile can fill your inbox with unwanted promotions or spam that is not really necessary, apart that they would have access to some of your personal data.
To block a member for viewing your profile, go to his or her profile and move your cursor over the down arrow next to the button in the top section, select Block or report, and then click Block and Continue. The final step would be to click Agree to confirm your action.
The blocked member won’t receive any notification but you would need to add this person again to your network if you decide to unblock him. All their endorsements and recommendations from your profile will also be removed permanently.
You can unblock a member in the Privacy & Setting section, under “Manage who you’re blocking”.
