The most common way charge your smartphone is simply by using a charger; but have you ever wondered what if you are stranded in place where there is no electricity?
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/charger-connection-techcribng.jpg
The world of science is trying to give us a hand, but not every idea is a winner. Inspired by the recent discovery that phones could be powered by different concept , we decided to round up the strangest, coolest, and most impractical ways to give your devices a quick energy boost when a socket just can’t be found.
Smartphones can certainly be a huge help during an emergency, but about this emergency when the smartphone goes out of power?

15 ways to charge your phone Without Electricity
1.Charge your phone with Apples and Potatoes
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/charge-your-phone-with-apple.jpg
Fruits and vegetables are universally promoted as healthy. Certain fruits and vegetables are rich sources of vitamin C, but these rich sources (citrus fruits, strawberries, green peppers, white potatoes) are spread over many fruit and vegetable categories. Other fruits and vegetables, including avocado, corn, potatoes, and dried beans, are rich in starch, whereas sweet potatoes are mostly sucrose, not starch.
Meanwhile, A strange art installation in the Westfield shopping centre in west London, England by artist Caleb Charland was essentially a large-scale reproduction of an old classroom science experiment where a potato is used to charge a small digital clock. It is amazing that you can now charge your phone with apples and potatoes.
By stringing 800 pieces of fruit and vegetables together with galvanized nails and wire, artist Caleb Charland was able to scale-up the power output so much that it could charge a mobile phone – in this case a Nokia Lumia 930, charged via a wireless mat.
The hand-built circuit created an electrical current of an average 20mA and around six volts. READ FULL STORY HERE
2. Using Winds To Create Power for Mobile
Wind Farms are an excellent alternate source of power, which is gaining traction all over the world. But can winds be used to charge a mobile phone? Tjeerd Veenhoven from The Netherlands had created iFan, which uses wind power to charge up an iPhone. Using the computer fan which is found in every desktop and laptop, he has designed a system wherein iPhone can be charged within 5 hours.
The condition is that the device should be able to get winds in order to get the power generated. One suggestion as shared on his blog, is to tie up the device on a bicycle or a car. As the vehicle moves, wind would be directly available to the device and your mobile can keep on charging. Pretty neat idea!
3. Recharge with your sixth-grade toy
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/SIX-GRADE-TOY-Techcribng.jpg
This childhood toy has never really had much of a point. It goes up; it goes down; sometimes it pretends it’s a dog being walked. (And rather unconvincingly, at that.) But a few years ago, a Swedish designer, Peter Thuvander, came up with a way to finally give the yo-yo some real purpose in life: charging a phone. The idea was simple: playing with the yo-yo charges a small battery inside; afterward, just plug in your device via USB and power up. Ultimately, the device didn’t take off on account of everyone gets bored with yo-yos after about three minutes.
4.Charge your phone with FIRE!!!
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/CHARGE-WITH-FIRE-techcribng.jpg
This is done by using a fire pan. How’s this for a one-pot Quickfire Challenge, Padma? Cook up a great meal and charge phone at the same time, using the same device. That was the idea behind the Pan Charger, which not only can be used to cook up a delicious meal, but also converts that heat — whether it’s from your stovetop or the blaze of a campfire — into an electric charge that will power gadgets via USB plug. Better plan on a slow-cooked meal, though; it’ll take a few hours to fully charge anything. Utensils down, power up!
4.Charge your phone by SHOUTING at it
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Young_woman_shouting_techcribng.jpg
Researchers at South Korea’s Sungkyunkwan University are actually conducting research into this hidden source of power. But there are several problems with this theory; for example, a prototype device needs atleast 100 decibels, which is the equivalent of noisy traffic or a jet passing overhead — to generate 50 millivolts of electricity. Such small energy can no doubt help the battery of a smartphone but cant charge it fully. A typical battery needs 5 to 10 volts to get charged up. read fell story here
Scientists from Korea have placed two electrodes which are connected by minute nano-strands of zinc oxide. When a human being shouts, then the vibrations caused by the sound are absorbed by these nano-strands which produces energy. In fact, other background noises such as traffic noise etc can also be used to generate this energy. Research is still on, but it ‘sounds’ very interesting!
6.You’re winding me up
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/ideaforge-roto-charger-techcribng.jpg
You know that rush you get when you’re fishing, get a bite, and have to reel ‘er in? (Yeah, me either.) The Roto Charger is a concept that came out a couple years ago. It creates energy by mimicking a fishing reel. Your reward for a solid minute of avid cranking? A whopping three minutes of talk time.
7.Charge Your Phone By Pouring Coke and Pepsi Into It
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/charge-your-phone-with-pepsi-and-coke-techcribng.jpg
Health critics may say that the sugary, carbonated drink is bad for you, but that doesn’tmean the same rings true for your cell phone. Right? Sure. China-based designer Daizi Zheng came up with a way to use pop (soda, Coke, whatever you call it) to power a Nokia phone, provided the device was modified to include a chemical board capable of converting carbohydrates and sugar into energy. Interesting concept, but uh … we’ll stick to mixing our Coke with rum, not electronics. Hopefully your phone’s warranty covers electronic diabetes.
8. Using Winds To Create Power for Mobile
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/wind-fam-techcribng.jpg
According to digital trends , Wind farms generate lots of energy, so why can’t a similar idea be applied to power our phones? Well, for a start, wind farms are always built somewhere windy, like in the sea, or on top of mountains – you know, places where we usually aren’t. But that didn’t stop Netherlands designer Tjeerd Veenhoven from wind fam-=techcribng designing the iFan, an iPhone case that converts wind into phone-charging energy. The thing takes six hours to fully charge a phone, and that’s if the wind is continually blowing. But, we suppose you could just drive around with your iPhone hanging out the window – totally safe.
9.The Sun
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/sun-power-techcribng.jpg
you can also use solar energy to power your phone.. according to a report by orzzzz, You know that massive ball of burning gas at the sun centre of our solar system, right? Well, it turns out that it throws off an astonishing 400 trillion trillion watts on a fairly regular basis — roughly the amount of energy it would take to power 500,000 years of our current civilization in a single second. -
10.Charge your phone by Unlocking The Power Of Pee
Although 14-year-olds Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and 15-year-old Bello Eniola have created a urine powered generator.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/urine-power-generator.jpg
Researchers from England’s University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory are right now researching ways to convert your urine into a power source. Phase 1 of the project: ‘Urine-Tricity’ is over, and now they are into phase 2 of their project.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/URINE-POWER-PHONE-TECHCRIBNG.jpeg
The whole concept is based on Microbial Fuel Cells (MFCs), which can create an alternate source of power when urine flows through them. When microbes encounter urine, they consume them as part of their metabolic process. As soon as microbes consume the urine, they release electrons which are captured by an electrode connected with the MFCs. Soon the circuit is completed and electricity is produced.
Once this project gets due approvals, it can be really easy to charge a smartphone; so Nigerians you know what to do in case of an emergency!
11.Charge Your iPhone With Your Own Breath
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/AIRE-mask-concept2-techcribng.jpg
You’ve heard of wind-powered and solar-powered gadgets that can charge your phone, but what about breath-powered? This concept design was created by Joao Paulo Lammoglia that utilizes the power of your breath to convert into electricity via small wind turbines. The user simply wears the AIRE mask hooked up to an iOS device, and by breathing into the mask, the gadget is able to recharge the phone. AIRE-mask
Lammoglia explains that AIRE can be used in any situation, indoors or outdoors. It can be used while you sleep, walk, run, or read a book, for example. Besides saving energy (and contributing to environmental preservation), it also encourages the practice of physical exercise.
12.charge your mobile phone with a pen & paper
Paper clips and any kind of power adapter that gives 5 volts will do the job for charging your phone battery
13. Charge Your Phone With New Sponge Battery In Seconds
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/storedot-battery-techcribng.jpeg
An Israeli company called StoreDot says it has developed technology that can charge a mobile phone in a few seconds and an electric car in minutes which will be possible by 2016. This is done by using nano-technology to synthesize artificial molecules, which can also store a much higher charge more quickly, in effect acting like a super-dense sponge to soak up power and retain it.
Researchers discovered naturally occurring crystals two nanometers in diameter that show interesting properties.
The crystals, short chains of amino acids called peptides, can store a charge or emit light, are easy and cheap to make, and are non-toxic, the company claims.
The firm is working on using the crystals, which it calls NanoDots, for displays and semiconductors as well as batteries.
14.Charge your phone using SWEAT
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/gym-techcribng.jpg
when your phone battery is running low, you could charge it using your sweat.
Researchers have developed a small temporary tattoo that strips electrons from lactate produced by our bodies during perspiration.
At the moment, the energy it harnesses is just enough to charge a small biobattery, but the team are working on ways to use the technology to charge smartphones and tablets.
The device works by detecting and responding to lactate, which is naturally present in sweat.
‘Lactate is a very important indicator of how you are doing during exercise,’ said lead researcher Wenzhao Jia, Ph.D from the University of California San Diego. Could we charge our phones using SWEAT? Temporary tattoo uses chemicals in perspiration to generate energy k
In general, the more intense the exercise, the more lactate the body produces.
During strenuous physical activity, the body needs to generate more energy, so it activates a process called glycolysis.
Glycolysis produces energy and lactate, the latter of which scientists can detect in the blood.
Professional athletes monitor their lactate levels during performance testing as a way to evaluate their fitness and training program.
In addition, doctors measure lactate during exercise testing of patients for conditions marked by abnormally high lactate levels, such as heart or lung disease.
Currently, lactate testing is inconvenient and intrusive because blood samples must be collected from the person at different times during the exercise regime and then analysed.
15. Charge your phone When having Sex!
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/recharge-bag-techcribng.jpg
We already know that 1 in 10 people use their phone during sex. So why cut out the middle man and sleep with the One you really love. Utilizing a person’s body heat, which is converted into electricity using thermoelectric material, the folks at Vodafone are introducing these super-charged sleeping bags (complete with garish Power Pocket, guaranteed to repel potential mates) at outdoor festivals throughout the summer. Don’t expect too much though; 8 hours of snuggling up to your phone at night will give you a mere 24 minutes of talk time.

Do you need a handy smartphone? accessible, convenient, flexible and durable : Graphic reveals which device matches your ‘thumb zone
Apple , an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, online services, and personal computers. Apple is best-known for hardware products such as Mac line of computers, the iPodmedia player, the iPhone smartphone, and the iPad tablet computer.
However ,After years of sticking to its signature, small handsets,Apple finally gave in to demand and launched two phablet-style i Phones last September.
But as phones increase in size, the screens become harder to use – especially when trying to navigate or type with one hand.
To see how phones measure up to the average hand size, designers created a graphic that reveals the ‘natural’ and ‘unreachable’ thumb zones of four of the most popular handsets from Apple and Samsung.

https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/new-word-in-oxford-dictionary-techcribng.jpeg
The largest and most trusted free online dictionary for learners of English , popularly known as the Oxford Dictionary Online (ODO) has been making headlines for accepting words that are widely used on the global system of interconnected computer networks popularly known as Internet as part of the English vocabulary, thereby officiating these words into the language. Just yesterday The Oxford English Dictionary added another internet slang to the dictionary.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/new_dictionary-TECHCRIBNG.jpg
Some of these "new words" can only be used within the context of or only on the Internet, while other existing words are now getting a new identity that carry alternate meanings, and hence, uses. The rising use of acronyms and abbreviations have also changed the way we use English.
Today, we are going to look at 25 of these new slang that are added to the dictionary from 2006 till date.
1. Selfie (2013)
selfie: according to oxford dictionary it is a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/selfie-you-should-stop-techcribng.jpg
Origins: Self-portrait photography has existed for more than a century(21), but the popularity of selfies has only surged in recent years,for example you using a smartphone to take a photograph of yourself easily then upload and share such photographs on your various social media websites.
2. OMG (2011)
OMG: (exclamation) used to express surprise, excitement, disbelief, etc. (verb)
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/omg-techcribng.jpeg
Origins: Short for "Oh my god" / "Oh my goodness" / "Oh my gosh", the popular abbreviation "OMG" was recorded in history in a letter of correspondence from ex-admiral John Fisher to former UK Prime Minister, Sir Winston Churchill, back in 1917. Today, it is used heavily when expressing surprise, along with a handful of variations: omfg, zomg, and a lisp version ehmargerd.
3. al desko.(2015)’
al desko (adjective) : One definition centers on workers who toil at their desks, and grab a bite while others go out to lunch or eating at the desk.
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/eating-al-desko-is-the-way-of-our-world-techcribng.jpg
origin : It’s sort of an ironic play on the phrase to eat ‘al fresco,’ for eating outdoors.
4. Derp (2013)
derp: (exclamation) according to oxford dictionary used as a substitute for speech regarded as meaningless or stupid, or to comment on a foolish or stupid action. for example : Not much point boycotting the company anymore if the reason for boycotting has gone away...derp.
Origins: The word "derp" was first uttered by South Park co-creator, Matt Stone who starred as himself in the comedy film, BASEketball in 1998. The South Park episode "The Succubus" also featured a character, Mr. Derp who goes around shouting "Derp!" every time he makes a fool of himself.
Nowadays , Derp is often used as placeholder for a character or an act (derping) that is not crucial to the story-telling, primarily in rage comics. Derp has plenty of facial expressions to depict the state of emotion the character has. Derp has a female counterpart named Derpina.
5. Unlike (2013)
unlike: (verb) according to oxford dictionary withdraw one"s liking or approval of (a web page or posting on a social media website that one has previously liked)
this is commonly used by everybody . for example : he sounded irritable, which was unlike him
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/unlike-techcribng.jpg
Origins: The "like" button in Facebook has created a new meaning to the already existing word "unlike". The button is already available on other social networking sites, Internet forums and websites, even before Facebook incorporated it, but there"s no doubt that Facebook was the one that promoted the feature to the world – so much so that most people who use the Internet now know what it means to "unlike" something which they had "like"d before.
6. Srsly (2013)
srsly: (adverb) short for seriously
example: as submodifier: it is a srsly cool bike
Origins: Due to the 160-char limitation imposed on text messages, and the 140-char limit imposed on microblogging sites, "seriously" had its vowels removed, giving us "srsly". Today, despite the removal of such limitations with instant messaging services like WhatsApp and WeChat, the word still stuck because there were fewer letters to type out. Fun fact: it existed in the late 18th century in some manual on shorthand writing!
7. Tweet (2013)
Tweet: (noun) a posting or an update made on a popular social media website Twitter .
Origins: The Oxford English Dictionary officially included the "tweet" in June, bypassing their requirement for new words (and meanings) to be in use for a minimum of 10 years before they can even enter the dictionary. Still, the incredible fifty-fold jump of the usage of the word "tweet" from 2006 to 2012 seems to justify breaking that rule, no?
8. TL;DR (2013)
tl;dr: (acronym) short for "Too long; Didn’t read"
Origins: As with all things on the Internet, it is a sin to ramble on and on and on as the attention span of its users are fleeting at best. "tl; dr" is commonly used in online discussion forums to indicate that the post is just too wordy. True to its word, or letters, the phrase "too long; didn’t read" itself is shortened to a mere four letters.
9. FOMO (2013)
FOMO: (noun) anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on a social media website
Origins: Nobody seems to know who first mouthed this acronym, but there’s no denying that the fear of missing out has been around even before online social networking was here – we simply called it "keeping up with the Joneses".
10. GIF (2012)
GIF: (verb) a lossless format for image files that supports both animated and static images
Origins: Word of the year for 2012, GIF, which stands for Graphics Interchange Format, showcases animated images that go round in loops. GIF was created by Steve Wilhite at CompuServe in 1987 but it was only recently, and after years of debate, that the creator confirmed the pronunciation as "jif".
11. Photobomb (2012)
photobomb: (verb) spoil a photograph of (a person or thing) by unexpectedly appearing in the camera’s field of view as the picture is taken, typically as a prank or practical joke (Source)
Origins: Photobombing had its roots back when The Beatles were the biggest thing on the planet (circa 1970s). However, when photography did the transition from analog to digital, coupled with the proliferation of uploaded photos to photo-sharing sites online, photobombing has since become a tradition.
12. woot (2012)
woot: (exclamation) (especially in electronic communication) used to express elation, enthusiasm, or triumph (Source)
Origins: Normally spelled w00t, with two zeros, the exclamation is popular in forums and among gamers. There are many theories related to its origin, but none can lay claim to be the true original. Find out what the prevalent theories are in a relatively serious attemp to identify its roots, here.
13. Inbox (2012)
inbox: (verb) send a private message or an email to (someone, typically another member of a social networking website or Internet message board)(Source)
Origins: If you think that inbox existed back when emails were ganing popularity, you would be half right. Back then, however, it was more of a noun than a verb. As of 2012 though, the word can also be referred to as a verb as well. "Inbox me" is essentially a "send me a private message" request, althougth we now have an even shorter version for that: PM.
14. Sext (2011)
sext: (verb) send (someone) sexually explicit photographs or messages via mobile phone (Source)
Origins: A combination of the word "sex" and "texting", the idea of sending lewd messages or photos via mobile phones took flight when MMS overtook SMS as the way to communicate through mobile.
15. Twerk (2013)
twerk: according to oxford dictonary , dance to popular music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low, squatting stance. for example : just wait till they catch their daughters twerking to this song
Origins: Twerk could had been adapted from the word "work" ("werk" , since dancers are often told to "work it". The extra "t" at the front could have been added to mean twist or twitch.
16. LOL (2011)
LOL: according to oxford dictionary laughing out loud; laugh out loud (used chiefly in electronic communication to draw attention to a joke or amusing statement, or to express amusement) (abbreviation). it also mean lot of love.
Origins: Heavily used during the early years of the Internet (early 1990s), LOL compensated for the ambiguity of textual communication. Used in a fashion familiar to emoticons, now it has inserted itself into daily conversations via text in emails, chat groups, text messaging and social networking sites.
17. Noob (2009)
noob: (noun) a person who is inexperienced in a particular sphere or activity, especially computing or the use of the Internet (Source)
Origins: Normally spelled as "n00b" with two zeros, the word came from "newb" or "newbie" which refers to someone who is just starting out in the use of the Net. Fun fact, it almost became the millionth word of he English language in 2009, a title that went to "Web 2.0" instead.
18. Hashtag (2009)
hashtag: (noun)according to oxford dictionary a word or phrase preceded by a hash sign (#), used on social media sites such as Twitter , facebook and instagram to identify messages on a specific topic
Origins: Although the hashtag is not invented online, it has certainly been redefined for use, online. Many sources have pointed to open-source advocate Chris Messina (aka "FactoryJoe" who started the ball rolling by suggesting the use of hashtag in a simple tweet.
19. Unfriend (2009)
unfriend: (verb) remove (someone) from a list of friends or contacts on a social networking website (Source)
Origins: Like the word "unlike", "unfriend" is the opposite of "friend"-ing someone, where you’d add someone to your list of contacts or social network friends. Unlike the word "unlike" however, "unfriend" was crowned word of the year back in 2009, the year Facebook was expanding exponentially.
20. Troll (2006)
troll: (verb) make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them (Source)
Origins: Trolls were used to describe ugly dwarfs or giants back in the 1600s, but in modern English describes a method of fishing where one carefully drags a fishing line with a baited hook through the water to lure his catch. In many ways, this is similar to how some people online provoke or aggravate others via offensive or irrelevant postings, in an attempt to evoke an emotional response. Ever since, the word "troll" is used to describe the act of trying to wreak havoc in online discussions.
21. Phablet (2013)
phablet(Noun) : According to oxford dictionary a smartphone having a screen which is intermediate in size between that of a typical smartphone and a tablet computer. for example a 3.5 inch screen is inadequate in a market that is trending towards phablets
Origins: A phablet refers to something between a phone and a tablet, characterised by the screen size of between 5 and 7 inches (See Samsung Galaxy Note). Although the first phone-tablet hybrid is arguably the AT&T EO 440 from 1993, the term "phablet" was only introduced in the 2010s.
22. SILVERTAIL
Australian for "person who is socially prominent or displays social aspirations."
23. TIKI-TAKA
Term for a style of soccer play "involving highly accurate short passing and an emphasis on retaining possession of the ball."this is commonly used by the spanish football giant Fc Barcelona
24. TOMOZ
"Tomorrow," which has way too many syllables, obvs.

| Business › 5 Common Tech Mistakes That Could Cost Your Small Business Money by baseg25(op): 5:18pm On Jan 07, 2015 |
https://techcribng.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/tech-mistake-techcribng.jpeg
Technology is a broad concept that has come to refer to breakthroughs in science that allow for a better or automated solution. While the most obvious benefit to technology in small business is increased productivity–which translates into a lower cost structure.
Tech allows small businesses to automate certain functions that historically have required the need to hire an employee.
Small businesses now compete with large businesses by being more swift and agile. Additionally, we are all aware that a small business can respond to change faster than a large business.
Brian Kaminsky an editor of Sitepronews also explain that Computer technologyis at the core of today’s smallbusiness, but owners and managers are faced with the question: how do we keep up with the constant changes in the computer world? Will the computers we buy today be obsolete two years from now? And will using outdated computers and software slow my business down or expose it to dangerous exploits?
Today we are gonna explain 5 common mistakes made by small business leaders make:
Common Tech Mistakes That Could Cost Your Small Business Money
1.Shortsighted Initial Purchases
Business capital is almost always at a premium and it can be tempting for business ownersor managers to try to save money by skimping on their initial investment in computer and network technology. The irony is good quality, name brand equipment will actually save money in the long run, performing better and lasting long after the bargain-priced equipment needs replacing. This doesn’t mean you need to purchase the latest and greatest hardware, but investing in computers with adequate memory, storage space, and CPU power will pay off.
2.Mobility will continue to affect them
There’s no escaping the need to go mobile. From a device perspective, there will be a continued push by hardware manufacturers who produce everything from phones, to laptops and tablets, to manufacture devices that do more than they ever could. Think smaller laptops, larger phones. With this innovation will come continued improvements in battery life, weight, and user interface, all leading to enhanced availability of options. Additionally, more technology users will be transacting through mobile web interfaces than ever before. Two interesting facts about this holiday season: First, Cyber Mondaysales exceeded Black Fridaysales and second, over 16% of digital sales were done on a tablet or mobile phone. Going forward, businesses must have a strategy for meeting their customer’s needs for mobile transactions.
3.Failing to keep technology maintenance organized
Backing up every workstation individually on a daily basis in an office full of computers is an incredibly labor-intensive undertaking. Now imagine updating your anti-virus software, applying critical operating system security patches, etc. one-by-one, computer-by-computer. It makes sense and saves you money to keep all your critical data in one central location where it is less prone to damage or loss from human error and it makes just as much sense to perform your technology updates form a central location. Initial outlays for centralized servers and software will pay for themselves through greater productivity and security.
4.Allowing unrestricted use of equipment
Just a few minutes a day of personal Internet surfing or e-mail usage by employees can add up fast, and unauthorized Web surfing can be a gateway for dangerous Trojans, viruses, and malware. Every company should have strict rules on use of equipment, and enforce them.
5.Waiting for problems to arise
Failure to prevent computer problems is like waiting to run out of oil before you take your car to the shop. It is less costly to be proactive in monitoring your computer network than waiting for things to break. Proactive computer and network maintenance can prevent costly downtime and the frustration it brings to your staff and customers.
CONCLUSION
We should learn to understanding the need for proactive and preventative care for our business technology i.e this should be as simple as justifying car insurance for our vehicles, or medical insurance for our health, but apparently this is not yet the case. The truth is that technology may be the largest single investment ,but lets try to secure and maintain that investment.

| Phones › Whatsapp Reaches 700 Million Active Monthly Users by baseg25(op): 5:05pm On Jan 07, 2015 |

WhatsApp is again exceeding all expectations after it was announced back in August of 2014 that more than 600 million active monthly user were already on board with the popular mobile messaging app.
acordind to report getting to techcribng, WhatsApp , the mobile messaging service now has more than 700 million monthly active users sending more than 30 billion messages a day.
The Facebook-owned company announced in August it had reached 600 million monthly active users, a clear signal the service’s popularity has skyrocketed in recent months.
“As humbled and excited as we are by these numbers and our continued growth, we’re even more excited to keep building a great product in 2015,” co-founder and CEO Jan Koum said in a post on Facebook.
“Most of all, we’re grateful that so many of you are using WhatsApp to stay in touch with your friends and family, business colleagues and classmates. We promise to continue working hard to make WhatsApp even better.”
Facebook officially took ownership of WhatsApp in October, but the firm has continued on as a separate entity from the social media site.
Facebook was originally set to pay $19 billion for the popular app, forking over $4 billion in cash and approximately $12 billion worth of Facebook shares. The deal was also to include $3 billion in restricted stock units for WhatsApp’s founders and employees that will vest over four years. Facebook stock, however, increased from the time the terms of the deal were originally discussed, meaning the social network actually paid out about $21.8 billion.
It may be a colossal amount of money, but it appears it was money well spent given the ever-increasing popularity of WhatsApp. In fact, it’s user growth in the five years since its launch has easily surpassed that of Facebook, Gmail, Twitter and Skype — all of which are extremely popular Internet services or networks. source : http://techcribng.com/whatsapp-reaches-700-million-active-monthly-users/ |
