Let's analyze! First, some examples (please, no-clicky on the links!!!):
AMAZING ! i cant believe that you can actually see who is viewing your profile!I just checked my top 10 viewers and Im Shocked my Ex is still viewing it!! You can also see here : http://bit.ly/e0fev5
wow just saw my total facebook views and top stalker: Girls- 6,938 Boys- 1,239 some people cant stay off my fb lol ... see whos stalking ur page asap lol http://tiny.cc/awdrd
Woah... I have spent 157 hours logged in to facebook. You can see how much you\'ve been logged in - http://bit.ly/f1jwee
Do you see the pattern here?... Let me give you some hints!
The Facebook terms and conditions clearly state that there's no way to see who is visiting your profile etc., and that any app that claims it can do this is 1) violating those terms, 2) spamming, 3) in search of access to your list of friends, and 4) showing fake results because they can't track these things!!
You see it appearing on your friends' lists a lot coming from the same person as a wall message - it's because that ignorant fellow actually clicked on it and followed all the steps there, and gave it permission to post on
2010 | 2011
To all my dear contacts, my family and friends, you are all in my heart now, as the year ends. Since 2011 is knocking on our door, I wish that health and wellfare will next year reach you all. And when a party's ending begin another one, rejoyce all year together and stay happy. Bogdan :)
In Brussels [One month overdue posts - 1]
Yeah... I've been busy again :) But hey, it's not my fault people like me so much they can't stay away from me =)) Luckily, it's weekend (again!) so now I have a few minutes to publish this :D So, here we go - Bruxelles, mon amour!
"Deux euros, deux euros, deux euros, deux euros, deux euros!" Imagine, if you will, this said on fast-forward by a loud, shouting voice. Now, imagine another one - it might be the same number, it might be "un euro" or "trois euros"... Overlap the two voices in your mind; now repeat the process a few times, until you get a deafening tremble of voices calling you to them, to buy their stuff for the lowest possible price, while you make your way through literally hundreds of people trying not to bump into anybody (and failing miserably every 30 seconds); you might just get some sense of how the Brussels market looks like on a chilly Sunday morning of November 14th...
The first thing you notice about Brussels is the crowd. People from all around the world, speaking tens of different languages, coming together in a city of one million souls designed for probably a little over two thirds of that. According to Wikipedia, almost 36% of its inhabitant

They're neither "the devil", nor some monopoly, they're not propcupied with taking over the world and also not in the business of "technological copy/paste". Because, let's be honest, that is what people currently think about Microsoft... Well, short piece of reality coming up :) for the past week, Microsoft was our host for a Strategic Meeting concernign the MyAIESEC.net platform (a bit more about our meeting in a future post). One of this week's highlights was a great opportunity to get a tour of their "Executive Briefing Center for European Innovation", to get up to speed with some of their latest technologies and plans, and, perhaps most important, to get in touch with some of the flesh-and-blood people behind the brand.
The word of the week (and month, year and possibly decade to come) at Microsoft is EDUCATION . Because, unlike most mainstream companies, Microsoft understood two things: investing in education is investing in the future, and educating people to use your software insures you a steady and savvy base of clients - the kind of clients any company would like to have. Their virtual classrooms and online learning tools are, in all fairness, far ahead anything
Second week of Aikido trainings in Linz
The first Monday, I couldn't believe it had been 5 years since I had last practiced! Not when I feel so good, so liberated after each training, so confident and seeing life with better eyes... I definitely must continue to do this from now on, regardless of anything else - since it's the only sport I practice (besides training my fingers on the buttons 12-14 hours a day :P ).
Aikido is not like other martial arts. The concept of attack here is only used so that you can learn to defend yourself against one. There's no ill will, no wish to destroy the one next to you for trying to do you harm, no poorly conceived sense of justice through revenge. There's just energy to be taken, given, offered, shaped and returned. Of course, you can still crush your opponent, break every bone in his body, tare him apart limb by limb and bone by bone - but why would you want that when there's a better way? For the most attacks it's enough to just prove to Uke that you're stronger than he is and if you do it right there's no need to go any further. If that doesn't work, well - at least you tried, now you can take more drastic steps ;) My old Aikido teacher used to say to us that you can brea
1000+ ways of global change
A smile... A push in the right direction... A warm hug... A sincere advice... A wild idea put into practice... Trying every day to make a small difference... Getting your friends to give a damn... So many other ways to change yourself and the people around you. I was watching in the past few days a short movie from Seth Godin , called This is broken . And it got me thinking: so many things around us are wrong, for so many reasons, that we somehow became immune. Not caring is another thing that's broken. And day by day, we hope and pray it'll be better (and Seth's idea to point out things that are broken in the world is a great one) but we don't do enough to try and fix these things. As Steven Seagal said in a trip to Bucharest, " It's not enough to just talk the talk. You have to walk the walk! ". And, to complete this with another famous and very true phrase, " a small step for man, a giant step for mankind! ". So, don't wait around for others to change you and the world you live in. It's your responsibility , it's your privilege , it's your right . Make every moment, every gesture, every action count for something, and then add them together to create something huge an
Chapter 1...
So, let's start in the beginning... I was born in a small city in the North-East of Romania... HAHA just joking :D My NEW beginning ... Let's start with me stepping out from the airplane into the Vienna airport. Familiar path, after a previous trip here and two months spent in this dream city, so my one-night stop in Vienna, finding my way to Paul's place and then wondering around on my own was a breeze. Nice places, cool people - I was sorry to only spend such a short time there (though it was time well-spent, I met the new Austrian MC :) ). But I'm going back there for a weekend at the end of July, to see some old friends, so I'll catch up shortly. Now, let's go back to the true start of this message: the beautiful city of Linz, Austria . A small piece of Heaven here on the Danube river, a green oasis where everything (including the job) feels like a nice vacation. The same Austrian infrastructure, well-built and easy to use every step of the way, allowed me to march straight next to the dorm room where I would be staying. There, I was greeted by a very cool guy that came to greet me at the tram station and show me where I'd be living. His name is Vishant, he's from Indi
