I love Papa Johns Pizza and for some reason they weren’t delivering to my area but after I followed them on twitter and told them that it was an #opportunity #lost not to include my home to your delivery list , they explained that there will be a new branch near by *yay* ,, the employee and he was so helpful , he took my order in Direct Message ;p
that’s an indication that all the sophisticated people have left Facebook for good ;( what a shame !
Now it just become a marketing tool for business entrepreneurs, I still miss those games such PetSociety and Poker ;P , my daily statuses was another story I used to count the days if if was waiting for something to happen, and my statuses would be DAY 1, DAY 2, one time I’ve reached day 35! but I realized that some so called “Friends” hated that idea & they thought it shortens their lives! *no comment*
so Facebook is officially dead! tell Us about your memories if you were addicted

part of my marketing class requirement is to prepare a project about the macroni and cheese company, its called Annies , basically it talks about the different segments that annie targets to be her customers , she targets Kids and working adults because her products and all natural and healthy microwavable packs. my hypothesis is that she can go for school luachs and make more profits for the institutional market. so I conducted a search in my own school to prove that kids might love to have MAC&Cheese ,, look what i have found ^.^
P.S.: thats my voice in the background ;p
On November 24, GUST’s MBA students led by Dr. John Hayes hosted the event Best of Kuwait at the GUST Theater. The event was based on research done by the students to find out which organizations are the best in their category.
The MBA students were divided into six teams. The teams were then given specified categories in which to research. They thoroughly researched their respective categories which included: day spas, Chinese restaurants, Japanese restaurants, Kuwaiti food, cupcakes and mobile phone services. The students interviewed clients and staff of different organizations in their category. They tried, tasted and experienced the services they were evaluating first-hand and assessed a variety of data before selecting which organization they deemed the “best.” It took the students a month to develop the project.
check me out ! am the 6th from left ^.^
The students framed their research in the context of what international organizations used to rate each corporation. They included demographic criteria, atmosphere, variety and quality of products or services and personal interactions.
The teams presented the audience at the event with all the competing businesses as the finalists for each project. After which, they revealed their list of what’s Best of Kuwait:
· Best Chinese restaurant: P.F Chang’s
· Best Day Spa: Spa Time
· Best Cupcakes: Juju’s Cupcakes
· Best Japanese restaurant: Maki
· Best Kuwait food: Bait Dickson
· Best mobile phone services: Zain
Each team gave out samples from the winning companies for the audience to try out.
“The students presented their own category using multimedia techniques,” explained Professor John Hayes, who teaches the students business communications, “After the presentations, I asked the audience to help me critique the team performances. It was a good way to help MBAs perfect their presentation skills and have some fun in the process.”
Samantha Hogg, who was part of the team who researched the best of Chinese restaurants, said that “the presentations helped us develop our communication skills, which is vital for our success in our MBA courses.”
At a press event, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Facebook’s three latest features to be rolled out soon that will offer users more control over and transparency about their information.
Designed to solve “the biggest problem in social networking”, the Groups feature will enable users to create groups like family, workmates, or friends with a specific interest, a great way to prevent over-sharing of one’s information. Users within a group can share basic text documents (a text editor called ‘Docs’ which enable basic formatting options is included), managing events, and even having group chats with as many as 250 people at the same time.
While there is an existing feature that permits users to create lists of friends, only five percent of Facebook’s 500 million users actually use it. Moreover, the current feature is a solitary exercise where the user decides which lists will be able to view certain posts, photos or updates, while as Zuckerberg sees it, “Creating groups is a more social exercise. When one user creates a group, all the other members get notified. They can choose to leave, but will more likely engage, and create lists of their own.” (Source: CNN)
With the new “Download Your Information” feature, users will be able to create a zip file of everything they have done on Facebook, since as Zuckerberg said, “It’s our core belief that people should own and be able to control their information in Facebook. We view this as a philosophical thing.” (Source: PCWorld)
Likely in response to criticisms about the privacy invasions of third-party applications such as games and quizzes, Facebook also revealed another new feature – an apps dashboard that will enable users to see what information various applications can access about its users.
Facebook’s new features will no doubt please its users and even privacy advocates, but will Groups be just another way to form cliques and shun the not-so-cool kids?
