North Korea Updates Profile on Facebook

August 31st, 2010 | Category: Technology

North Korea has recently updated it new site on Facebook posting rare videos and photos regarding the life of people inside the borders of the country. The North Koreans have posted pictures of people, who are very happy having picnics, and some of their parks and places to see in the country’s capital.

 Despite the fact that most people from North Korea have no internet connection, their website has already made almost 400 friends after they have uploaded some links, photos and videos of their country which can be rarely seen.

Some of the uploaded pictures contain people who look very happy and content with their lives in North Korea as well as people wearing their traditional clothes with a variety of colors and the beautiful landmarks and landscapes of Pyongyang.

 Most of the videos posted by the North Koreans were of the former South Korea leader Kim Jong II and its wall is flooded by government statements which were “liked” by a lot of people (symbolized by a thumbs-up icon).

 The North Koreans made a site which was recently deleted by the Facebook administrators because of the sensitive issues that were contained on the page. But recently, a new site for North Korea resurfaced under the profile name “uriminzokkiri” which stands for “with us Koreans” and then later changed to “urimzok”. They also created a Twitter account wherein they post their tweets with similar contents to that of their Facebook account. Currently, their tweets have approximately 11,000 followers.

How to Make the Most of GPS Tracking

August 18th, 2010 | Category: Technology

GPS tracking is truly a wonderful technological innovation that has numerous benefits. On installing a GPS tracking device the vehicle can be monitored quite easily. In addition to knowing the exact location of the vehicle the manager who is in charge of overseeing the day to day activities of the fleet can easily guide the driver of the vehicle with regard to the easiest and the most convenient route to be taken to reach the destination in the shortest possible time.

Satellite tracking helps the manager to see clearly if the route on which the driver has taken the vehicle is clear or is going through a traffic blockage. This not only reduces the time taken to get the vehicle across to the final destination sooner but also reduces the fuel consumption of the vehicle. Saving fuel literally translates in to saving money and when the number of vehicles belonging to the fleet of the company is large it is sheer logic to conclude that the amount of money saved on fuel from diffrenet vehicles is considerably large.

 

GPS fleet tracking is being embraced by many companies who have a large fleet of vehicle to be monitored. The financial benefits are definitely numerous but there are other equally important aspects of this particular tracking arrangement. The customer service turns out to be better because as a manager you are in a position to predict the exact time in which the customer can expect the vehicle to reach the premises.
