reliable Newsletter provider

Newsletters are a good method, to inform customers about developments or keep employees updated, what is going on in a company.

Besides the layout of the Newsletter and its content, it is very important, to use a well proven provider for sending the Newsletter, so that is is not deleted by spam filters.

We use the provider Newsletter2Go.

If one sends a newsletter to less than 1000 persons, then it is free of charge.

All what is needed for modern marketing, using Newsletters, is offered, like:

• an editor and templates for Newsletters
• autoresponder
• safety features, which are very important, that the Newsletters is accepted.

With the help of  tutorials, it is possible, to learn without frustration, in a reasonable short time, how to use all features.



 

How to store information safe and for hundreds of years

In our partner blog ( informationsbearbeitung )  a  post was published with the title:

Fanaticism and free exchange of information

Here we want to focus only on  the problem, how information can be stored safely, so that generations even after hundreds of years, can still use it.

We face at least following problems:

• which language shall be used 
• what storage devices shall be used
• where shall  the information storage devices be located
• how will people in the future know, where these locations are 

Apparently we need excellent tutorials, with which people can learn  how to use the information.

The best storage devices might be ceramic plates, in which all documents are engraved with lasers. But then also simple optical reading devices are needed, because we cannot expect, that any electronic devices will still function after hundreds of years.

The storage devices must be located probably inside mountains, so that they can survive any wars or natural catastrophes.

To deliver the information  to future generations, where these locations are, is also threatening these information to get destroyed by evil minded persons.

I expect, that we will find solutions for all the other problems, but do not have any good idea, how to deliver the information in a safe way to future generations, where they can find them.

Do you have some good ideas ?

Internet meetings, using Mikogo

Needed features of  an internet meeting provider:

 A good provider for internet meetings must meet at least following requirements:

• In many companies employees are not allowed to download any software onto their desktops or laptops, to avoid any infections by viruses.
• all communication must be encrypted, to defeat any spies, also the phone lines
•  it should be possible, to use several monitors, which makes it easier to switch between drawings, images and calculation sheets
• it should be possible for participants, also to use mobile devices
• the other features like whiteboard and chat are standards nowadays

Mikogo fulfills now all these requirements and is therefore an excellent communication tool.

website:  Mikogo

pricing:

• For 1 user and 1 participant  in an  internet  meeting, the account is free. This permits, to test Mikogo free of charge.

• For 1 user and up to 25 participants it costs 192 US Dollar per year, which is quite a good price, compared to many others.

At an internet meeting each participant should have his own desktop or laptop and his own headset with microphone. That avoids disturbing echoes and each participant feels much more comfortable, than if several people sit around one computer.

And then everybody can also stay in his office, which saves time.

How to get information, evaluate them and draw valid conclusions from them

On this blog we focus on, how to solve a problem. That means, that  we already have narrowed our view and are focusing on, if we know all needed facts and with what method we can solve the problem.

On the Blog:

Informationsbearbeitung

a more general view is taken:

• How can we find all needed  information
• How can we  store them safely
• How can we  structure and evaluate them
• How can we present them, so that they are easy to understand
• How can we draw the correct conclusions from them

I agreed with the owner of this Blog, that we will corporate in the future:

• detailed posts will be given on the blog, for which they are most relevant
• abstracts of these posts are also given on the other blog
• on each blog links lead  to the other blog

We will try to develop a ring of corporating blogs, which all together can develop efficient methods, to deal with information and with problems.

The Art of Correct Conclusions

Somebody, who must have had a lot of humor, gave the name "homo sapiens"  to humans, which live nowadays and which ancestors left Africa about 60 000 years ago.

If we look at, how we humans behave since thousands of years, then this name is totally wrong. Humans have always spent a lot of their resources to develop more efficient weapons, so that they could murder more humans.

And we go on with this behaviour. And we do our best, to destroy all resources, on which we depend, if we want to survive:

• we pollute all water on the globe with chemicals and plastics
• we destroy the farmland
• we do our best, to heat up the atmosphere as quickly as possible, so that the glaciers will melt, the sea levels will get higher and flood all towns near the coasts  and the number of earthquakes will increase, because the molten core of the earth will get loaded differently compared to today.
• vulcanic eruptions will also increase

• we waste our resources for miliary weapons and  wars, which increase the poverty in  the world, but do not solve one problem, but  only add much more.
• we accept, that the majority of humans live in poverty and will have no chance, to improve their living conditions

Question is, why are we so damned stupid on a larger scale but very intelligent on smaller scales ?
We must investigate, why human behaviour does not work on a larger scale. 

We  have the technical skills and all needed resources, so that all humans could have a fair share of  the global wealth and we all would even profit a lot from it.

Because now we are so stupid, to waste  the huge potential of all the poor people, who could attribute a lot to the global wealth, if we would give them a fair chance.

• How can it happen, that so many corrupt and cruel politicians come into power and why does nobody hinder them directly, before they get too powerful ?  Is it, because we are mammals and just accept everybody, who claims to be the strongest leader, without thinking about it for a second ?
• are we just too lazy to think in a rational and logical  way, based on facts and not on claims, which politicians make ?
• How can we find out, why we do not think correctly and how can we change it ?
