With the boom in IT the architect of computer & its related product has been modified or changed from time to time, let’s see the example of monitor, a visual display unit. In past a bulky CRT monitor was used as a visual display unit, now with the arrival of LCD, a smarter solution for display came in the market. The production & marketing of conventional CRT monitors is almost closed by most of computer manufacturers. Philips one of the well known brand in the manufacturing of CRT monitors has closed the manufacturing plant of CRT monitors in china. Now they are producing LCD monitors with different sizes. Similarly HP, IBM, ACER, LG, VIEWSONIC & few other brands are also producing LCDs. Most of them have their production plant in China due to availability of cheap labor & raw material. In fact it is hard to find a new CRT monitor in the market these days. If someone shopkeeper has old stock then there is a possibility but why to buy CRT when there is smart LCD screens available with less price margins.
The technology used in CRT & LCD is completely changed from each other. CRT stands for “cathode ray tube” which means that there is a series of picture tubes behind the screen that makes images when charged by electricity. On the other hand LCD is an abbreviation of “liquid crystal display” that contains a liquid base in its screen enabling zero radiation from direct eye contact. LCD is good when it came to power consumption. Its 17 inch screen can use 36 watts of electric current while an average CRT monitor can consume 250 watts of electricity while in use. Due to the sharpness of colors in CRT monitor Web masters & graphic designers recommends CRT monitor for designing different level of graphics or working with web hosting reviews in their professional life. However the recent SRGP technology (technology that enables accuracy in colors that come in prints the same as viewed on LCD screen) focus to eliminate drawbacks of LCDs & introduced different models for Graphic designers as well.
You probably came across dozens of websites while searching for specific information in google or any other search engine. At the same time you often get annoyed while looking at the results that are not reverent to what you are exactly looking for. Similarly on the other hand at many cases you become surprised to see the accuracy of results. The reason is the different ways through which a website goes to be able to appeared in search results. In fact search engine looks at the website differently as we do. Besides physical appearance of a website there are many other factors that involves in making at website search engine friendly. Things like, quality, originality & uniqueness of the content of the website, back links (your website link on other websites), Excellent HTML coding & CSS based design, proper heading & tags are very essential for a website to became search engine friendly. Most frequently Search engine love websites of old ages with a revelant domain name & good page rank.
In the scenario of internet marketing & sales, most of the entrepreneurs these days focus to make their web postal search engine friendly in order to get maximum exposure. For SEO purpose they frequently hire web masters to promote their websites in all major search engines. Web hosting for small business & domain registration services for a website are the popular business over the world wide web. Here I must concluded that making your website appear on the first page at the search engine results for a specific keyword is more likely to be a long term process, you have to work for that with building back links & maintaining quality content at your website.
Advertisements is every where, from radio to television, your favorite magazine cover to a huge bill board on the busy road of the city, Infect it certainly impossible if we cannot came across advertisements in our daily life, although this is a part of marketing strategy for every company to invest a selected budget on advertisement to support sale process & image building of their products. Some companies spent a little while other invest millions on advertisement campaigns. The telecom sector these days are one among those who do extensive advertisements on every available medium. Well infect some advertisements are made in such a way that it really attracts us & we enjoy watching it repeatedly.
Ufone one of the fast growing cellular operator in Pakistan has got an out standing marketing & promotion team. specially the team that they hire for television adds are very creative, the artist who perform in TV adds are the top comedian in pakistan & always appear with a unique character in in a new add. Here I must say that their TV adds is my all time favorite when it came to advertisements, they are not annoying as compare to others, like telenor & mobilink when they always try to sell their service by singing and dancing. Ufone TV adds are very humorous they makes you laugh for quite some time, Yes there is a valid point, dont you people feels that all the cellular service providers need to spend more money on making the quality of their services better rather than spending millions on just advertisements.
PTCL (Pakistan telecommunication company limited) one of the monopolist in the area of line telephony in Pakistan is continuously making progress when it came’s to quality of services they provide. The progress starts from the very beginning when they alter their corporate identity (brand mark) followed by the launch of their new products, packages & new ways of customer services management. Infect every new product they introduced in the market was appreciated. So the journey they start after being privatized & acquired by Etisalat they experienced rapid growth & very positive internal rate of return.
It was while talking to one of my friend who is employee with PTCL at islamabad. I came to know that despite growth the company also suffers loss in land line telephony services during the last couple of years. According to him customers of the land line (fixed line) is moving towards other alternative products like Wireless phone, mobile phone at a very high ratio & this happens to be a big challenge to the company. Infect they deal with this problem very boldly by launching additional services with the fixed line. PTCL broadband is one among them. similarly they also makes there customer service depaetment punctual in handling complaints. One can get a high speed internet connection while maintaining their land line telephone. The good news to tell you folks is that, if you are PTCL broadband user, now you can enjoy double speed at existing price. This was announced couple of weeks back. Similarly you can also enjoy your favorite movies & dramas while suffering their entertainment portal ptcl buzz. This service is exclusively for PTCL broadband users.
Yes, another serious note I would like to highlight! It’s about one and half years since PTCL announce its broadband internet services in Pakistan. But however this is very unfortunate to reveal that they are totally failed to provide it for all land line users. Infect people belongs to big cities where there is other DSL providers also exists can get PTCL broadband connection. The fact remains that Only about 50 % of the customers can avail this facility & there is no PTCL broadband service yet functional at remote areas or even well populated towns & cities.
During the last couple of months I am hearing from few of my friends that they are using free GPRS internet service while using their zong number. Since I am not personally using zong that is why I didn’t take keen interest, nor did I surely believed in their words. but however when they do it practically in front of me. It was then I belived when i came to know the way they are using it. Infact i was surprised & it was hard for me to believe that how it is easy to crack zong data center to enjoy free GPRS . Although I am not certain about other places in Pakistan but the place where I live (around 70 Km north from Islamabad) this free service exist till last week. Then finally the engineers from zong get awaken to fixed the bug. So onwards it start charging balance when one connects GPRS from their cell phone. Yes! Another interesting thing I came to know is that the bug of free GPRS exists in the network since last year (June 2008). A little no of people knows about it. Infact they dont want the officials of ZONG to know about this bug & they can enjoy free GPRS for maximum period of time.
The method to use free GPRS is simple, you didn’t need any special settings to do with your cell phone, all you need to do is to activate the GPRS for your zong number by Sending an SMS like ” All-Space-Maker of your cell phone-Space-Model No and send to 131″. Once your gprs setting is done. Then you have to make sure that you have zero balance in your account. The answer is yes? So you are ready to enjoy free GPRS from zong.
I assume there might be two possibilities that resulted in the procession of free GPRS for zong users. One, since zong came in line with the GSM operators in Pakistan during the first quarter of 2008. Being new in already establised market by strong competitors. Zong in order to demonstrate a uniqe practice of direct marketing, there is a posibility that the engineers are ignoring this bug as an order from the management to boost up the sale, I witnessed when this interesting news was spread around the teens at my town, zongs Sims in the market sells like hot cake. Secondly there is also a probability that zong has not done with the secure data protection solution at there high end like MSC & data centers & there happened to be a serious fault in zong network during that perioud of time. PS: If anyone is still using free GPRS service (another bug) from any mobile operator in Pakistan, it would be highly appreciated if they share their experience with us. Cheers 
At the World of trade we observe that now the buying & selling techniques change a lot. Every vender strives to be the best in the market. For that reason they adopt state of the trading methodologies to generate maximum revenue. Besides conventional whole selling & retailing, online retailing in this regard is the very good example. It’s easy to access to a number of products online & it seems me that the future of online trading is very bright where every commodities will be available over the internet. In Europe & America e entrepreneur is gaining very progressive growth at which online retailers maintain a website where they offer their products to be purchased directly via internet. Infect this very good approach for both the parties where the aid of the middlemen can be eliminated. So the outcomes are the availability of cheap & quality products.
E entrepreneurs also serve as good marketers. Indeed this is the best way of advertising & sales promotion. With the growing number of internet users over the globe & the maximum trust over online retail stores this is certain that internet is now a powerful medium to promote your product. Internet is a great place for all kinds of electronics, vehicles & other products of our daily use to buy directly from the parent company. Advertising agencies these days not only focus on print, static & electronic media for promoting their clients products or services, but they also go with web media.
Have you ever think why the front panel is highly decorated & looks so appealing while heading through the beautiful sales outlet of you favorite shoe brand. There might be a lot of answers came in your mind but the bottom line reveals that this is the era of advertising. Everything in this era is commercialized & need promotional activities. Commercialization in my pint of view posses both good & evil things in its roots. In one hand it is the source of information & entertainment to the people while on the other hand it is harmful if done with a wrong purpose for an evil thing. In short its ease of use can make it either good or bad. So let’s coming to the point for what I write this post is that do you people think the theme of my blog is good & acceptable by you? I believes in the first impression is the last impression strategy but on the other hand feels that every shining thing is not gold. However the ball is in yours coat, if you often felt the need to change to theme of my blog you can ping me. There are a couple of attractive & free wordpress templates in my notice. However I like this template of my blog & don’t have any certain plan to change it but however if you folks are tired to see this template I can change it for you. Choice is yours
When we talk about dissemination of information & entertainment. Mass media can be the best answer, but however if we see the broader aspect of media, we came to know that media is not all about informing & entertaining people. The time is arrived where the collective strength of any nation can be judged from its media strength. So as a matter of fact the passion for power of any nation is not just by getting stronger in military terms but also from the factor of media strength these days.
The reason I didn’t choose journalism as a full time profession after getting a degree in mass communication is still not revealed in this blog. So let me put some facts in front of you. It is however worth saying that electronic media in the recent few years got extensive boom & a number of TV channels entered Pakistani media circle. But however on the other hand majority practicle journalists is still unable to get the fruit of this development. I personally witness many of my talented batch fellows who after getting 1st class masters degree & junior English courses can’t even managed to cover their own expenditures while working as a reporter at well known English daily. Infect this is the great mockery with graduates that when they join their careers, simultaneously they face problems regarding compensation. It is truth that a large number of journalist in Pakistan are predominantly unpaid, the main problem that journalist community face is financial. On the other hand job insecurity & lack of freedom to report & publish information makes this profession more difficult for fresh graduates. So the output is they prefer to do any other job in the market.
Now the question is how many of the unpaid or low paid journalist meets their expenses? This is the question no body can answer exactly but i can make an orgument about it. Infact there is a silent group of people (Politicians, industralists, foreign spys etc) who exist behind the journalist community, they bribe them time to time & make them use for their own deeds. This un balanced & premature media often present biased facts, this is obvious in situations when there are corruptions at different levels. So i concluded here that in one hand the journalist in pakistan didn’t have any job security & financial strength when it came to compensation, while on the other hand he can enjoy a portfolio with the power to make or destroy images & can made mansion from their undisclosed income if they want.
