The Most Powerful Government in The World (With My Tom Brady-like ‘Maybe, Maybe Not, Then Again’ Pronouncement)
This is a good news, bad news, probably essay. The bad news for some readers is that it’s another column about the International Olympic Committee and the Beijing Olympics. The good news for many readers is that it’s the last column I’ll be writing about these recently concluded Beijing Olympic Games (I’m pretty sure, i.e. probably). But as Tom Brady once said when he was asked about his retirement: "I think that's the best way to put it and I don't think anything, you know, you never say never. At the same time I know that I'm very, I feel very good about my decision. I don't know how I'll feel six months from now.” I probably couldn’t have said it better about my today feelings, but wish I could.
VoIP Vs. UCaaS: Understanding The Differences
Voice over internet protocol (VoIP) is a powerful communication alternative to traditional phone lines. In fact, businesses can save an average of 32 call minutes every day with VoIP, as well as save between 30% and 50% in total expenses on average. And, since VoIP is software-based, it can also work with software systems to facilitate multiple communications channels, most notably, Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaas) — a new type of VoIP-based business communications software. Not only does UCaaS offer advanced voice calling features, but it also facilitates a host of business communications, including text messaging, video chat, and screen sharing.

Avoid These SEO Mistakes

Demand For Digital Skills Still Increasing
