Check out Who's on The Same Flight With You and Their Linkedin Profile

Planely, the service designed to help you find out who else is on the same flight as you (thus maximising the chance to meet and network with new people) has just become more useful with the integration of LinkedIn.

With Planely, you enter your journey details and it lets you know which other users will be on the same flight. Now, if your new matches have connected their Planely and LinkedIn accounts, a LinkedIn icon appears next to their name. When clicked, you get a neat summary of their professional life.

Given that people tend to keep up-to-date CVs on LinkedIn, this is a great way of seeing just how worthwhile arranging a meeting with someone a the airport (or even on the plane!) might be. Planely CEO and founder Nick Martin explains, “The really interesting part is that if both you and your Match integrate, then as part of that summary we show you if your Match is 1, 2 or 3 degrees of separation away from you or in any of the same Groups.” Nifty.

Planely already supports direct importing of TripIt travel information, and the Denmark-based startup is continuing to hone its service. ”Our aim here is to give people more confidence and reason to connect to their Matches,” says Martin. “Each layer of information about a person brings the connection one step closer to forming a relationship. You can expect more of these layers in the days and weeks to come.”

Bunun sebebinin analitik düşünceye ihtiyacımızın olmaması mı, tembellik mi, kısa vadeli düşünmemiz mi yoksa insanüstü tahmin ve öngörü yeteneklerine sahip olmamız mı emin değilim. "Y ou can’t manage what you can’t measure " - "Ö lçemedeğiniz şeyi yönetemezsiniz " Her ne kadar bu söz, günümüze yanlış bir şekilde aktarılmış olsa da, kendi içerisinde kısmi bir doğruluk barındırmakta. Aslında bu söz ile anlatılmak istenen, ölçerek herşeyin yönetilemeyeceği fakat sonuçları iyileştirmek için süreçlerin ölçülmesi ve takip edilmesinin önemli olduğudur. Sözün asıl sahibi W. Edward Deming, verinin ve gözlemin önemini aşağıdaki sözüyle çok güzel bir şekilde anlatmaktadır....

A Creative Way to Meet Investors - UberX

Have a cool startup idea, and want to get it funded? You could go the traditional route, blindly sending your pitch deck to every VC in Silicon Valley. Or you could follow investors on Twitter, hoping that through casual badinage you can win the hearts (and eventually, the wallets) of your startup's money source. Or maybe, just maybe, you should drive for Uber. UberX Lowers The Bar Yes, Uber, the popular mobile app that connects drivers with people who need a lift. Founded in 2009 as UberCab, Uber has become the go-to app for hailing a sedan in markets like San Francisco, New York City and London. And while historically Uber operators have been commercial sedan drivers filling time between jobs their employer provides them, Uber's introduction of UberX in July 2012 has opened the service to cars and drivers of all kinds.
