Google Trends




近日發現一個Google的新功能 - Google Trend. 它的主要功能是通過用戶的Keyword Search Keyword的資料, 來整合一些Trend的出來. 由於用google做research的人實在太多, google變相成為了一個全世界最大的投票器, 所以它所提供出來的Trend有非常大的參考價值.

打個比喻, 我想看看人們對Configuration Management的Trend,
http://www.google.com/trends?q=configuration+management&ctab=1&geo=all&date=all


我不單可以看見它的Trend, 也可以知道那一個國家, 城市, 語言Trend的分佈, 還有它的相關新聞.

好像我工作的公司 - 它有很多很好的產品, 但不可能每一件產品也推的, Google Trend在這個時候就非常有用, 我可先找出那一種類的產品在香港是最多人有興趣. 最簡單直接, 就是找出那相關的keywords, 然後, 在Google Trend找找, 看看結果.

舉一個例子, DOORS最好的產品, 我看看香港的潛力有多大, 又或者, 想知道Media Coverage做得怎樣, 我用"Requirement Management"作為一個keyword, 然後看看它是Trend怎樣.

http://www.google.com/trends?q=requirement+management

很清楚, 香港在Cities Trend內全世界排第八, 如果從Regions的角度來講, 香港甚至排第四. 但是Media Coverage就做得太差, 完全沒有.

從在一這簡單的例子, 很容易就知道應該怎樣去定位產品, 和市場策略.

好書一本


上星期一, 老細突然急call, 要我明天去上海跟他開會. 原先以為可以在香港一星期, 點知又要走.

上機前, 我總有一個習慣, 就是去書店(通常都是去Relay)看看有沒有好書. 今次又有發現
Flyinig High: How JetBlue Founder and CEO David Neeleman Beats the Competing...

JetBlue在airline行業是一間非常出名, 它的成立的時日很短, CEO David Neeleman在創立JetBlue之前, 已經成功創立和賣出兩條airline, 那個時候, 他還不到四十歲...

David Neeleman是一個非常非常聰明的人, 但他連大學的學位也沒有一個, 相信是跟他有過度活躍症有關, 可是亦因此而有今日的成就. 為甚麼? 自己買本返去睇, 這本書的英文用字簡單, 就萛英文不太好, 也可以看得很舒服.

還有, 今天的eTicketing也是由他一手創立, 但他當時推出eTicketing的最大原因, 除了因為可以令成本下降之外, 主要是因為受到其他的airline圍攻. 過程精彩非常, 不容錯過.

廉價質優的-Skype-Out


還記得一個月前在韓國參加Telelogic SYNERGY產品的培訓, 在出發前的一天, 才想起在韓國是沒有CDMA和GSM, 她有自己的一套, 跟日本一樣. 如果我想在韓國有ROAMING的話, 我的手機一定要有3G才行. 可惜那我用的是HP RW68XX (我也不記得它的型號, 畢竟, hp 的pda phone是我見過的最差), 它雖然是tri-band, 但就是沒3G.

哈哈, 本來我想, "好囉, 沒人可以打比我, 樂得清靜" 天下又那有我想我那麼美呢, 要找我的人, 一樣可以通過 email, msn, skype 找到我呢!

最後, 我發現了一個又平又慳錢的方法 - Skype.

不要以為Skype一定要PC to PC, 它還可以PC to Phone. 說是Skype-out. 當然, 它是收費的, 不過就平的緊要, 一分鐘亦只不過是 HK$0.17. Quality又唔錯, 絶對唔比電話差.

用法仲非常簡單,
1) 選擇國家
2) 按入電話號碼

當然, 一個好的headset是非常重要的.

想知多D, 可以看看這裏:

還有, 你還可以加一個skype 的 short-cut係你個Blog度, 以後, 其他人就可以知就知道你是不是已經在Skype Online.

Tai Chung Night



Around 10pm, my TW colleague arrived from TaiPei. As we didn't eat anything good, we went out and eat. We found a pretty nice place to eat and chat. He tought me some Taiwan local slange.

你這個人好"麥當勞" = 你這個人沒有內容

There was more, but better don't show here....

Flying to Tai Chung

7:20pm: Flight to TaiChung

In the check in counter,
"Sir, going to Tai Chung, right?", asked by the airline
staff.

"Yes, Tai Chung, 7:20pm", I answered.
"Do you have the TW VISA?", the staff said.
"No, I can just apply for it in TaiChung immigration,
isn't", I asnwered confidently.

"Oh.., sorry, there is no office in TaiChung for VISA
application. You better go to apply for it in Zone K, else you will be kick
back.", the staff recommend,

"O.. shit, I better act quick, as there is no time", I said

Unfortunately, I was in Zone D. Then I rush to Zone K (the other end of the airport). But fortunately, I can apply it through the Internet (there is Pacific Coffee provided PC for net browsing).

Again, if you have experience about applying the TW VISA, you must understand the situation. The website is very slow, and will give you error something. As there was so rush, I filled in the form incorrectly. I made me to queue for the PC again and reapply it. At that moment, I still remember, the staff told me : You've to come back before 6:40pm. It was only 10min till 6:40pm. Also, there is only 2 flight to Tai Chung a day. If I could not catch it, I have to change to TaiPei or take the flight tomorrow morning. That's why I am so worry.

In the last minute, I got the VISA and the boarding pass. Ho.....

The unlucky issues is always comes in sequence....

The flight was full, and very small. I was packed with all the Taiwanese (I think I was the only HKee) Can you image? There was water drop inside the flight. Yes, water drop. As the flight is so small and old, it didn't have enough electricity support both pilot and air condition. So, when it was piloting, the air-conditioner basic was off. The water started to accumlate. I was reading newspaper. In 10 mins, my newspaper, clothes, head was being dropped a few times... In that moment, I missed "Cathy Pacific"...
