About Words From Web Worker

Back in 2004, new terms were being coined as we tried to understand this phenomenon and its participants: “virtual workforce,” “web workers,” “freelance economy.” It was enormously disruptive — both to how work got done and to workers’ lifestyles. Words From Web Worker(WFWW) was started to address all of that and share our views on these trends and take advantage of the software to find ways to work more efficiently and get more done with technology.

At WFWW, we’re quite content to be the odd blog out.
We don’t have a fancy logo to go alongside our name in the press. We don’t make the same ad deals or shake the same hands as everyone else.

And all of this is fine by us.

We’re independently spirited, fiercely unconventional people who do things a little differently. Where others may value the bottom line, we value—well—values. We answer to no one but you. And we don’t operate this way for the fun of it, even though it is incredibly fun. We operate this way because we believe it’s the right thing to do.
We believe in principle over profit margin.
We believe that secrecy is trumped by honesty. And personal interest by community.
We believe that the web is more cared for than owned. But most importantly, We believe in you.

We’re all about making technology meaningful for everyone, with subscribers from many backgrounds: marketers, lifehackers, high school teachers, software engineers, designers, students, and more.

Have some questions? Feel free to get in touch with me directly -- I love hearing from people.

Will Automation make human work obsolete?

Will Automation make human work obsolete? Robots now build cars and power mechanical diggers and other "dumb" jobs. What will surprise you is how quickly "mechanical minds" are making human brain labor less in demand. Still think robots can’t do your job? Automation and robotics will eventually take over most of the tasks, especially the labor expensive ones, as computing gets smarter. Talk of robots making humans obsolete is generally a topic that is still laughed off as science fiction by most, but this video could get you to rethink the future human work. It lays out a compelling case for why almost half of those currently in the work force could struggle to find work once automation takes over in the near future. Unlike "the singularity," in which artificial intelligence takes over the planet in rapid and dramatic fashion, this paints a picture, backed up by statistics and current developments, indicating that the true singularity will occur gradually,...

How do you think & act?

At work & at home, each of us has been & again will be in communication. Our personal communication styles will dictate to a great extent our success in coordinating action & in relationships. It's unfortunate that we usually enter into communication situations without an awareness of our personal styles of communicating. We just do what comes naturally to us (but not necessarily to others.) One thing is certain every communicator anywhere continually THINKS & ACTS. This is where we begin our exploration of communication styles: how we Think & Act? In the Communication Styles , there are two thinking styles, and two acting styles, Acting Style 1: The Stimulators as you might guess, people with this acting style strive to implement new actions quickly & intuitively, without structure. On teams & in meetings, stimulators will speak up to suggest easier ways to accomplish work & will be the first to embrace new approaches to old problems. Because they ...

Develop Your Personal Brand

Having a good professional reputation is an obvious key to success, but many people don't take the time to nurture it. Or they don't know how. I find it helpful to think about a reputation as a personal brand. Developing your own unique brand is considered not a luxury but an essential for future employability and success. The basis which guides the development of a brand, also applies to individuals as well as to products and organizations. To get you started on your journey of ongoing individual brand development, contemplate these three concepts, which form a similar acronym: Dependability A good brand is consistent. With a good brand, there are never any unpleasant surprises. You can count on a brand to help you quickly sort through an unlimited list of options to identify "a sure thing." In the old days, there was a sales adage that went something like this: "Nobody ever got in trouble for purchasing IBM." If you aren't old enough to recall exa...

What is code? Why is everyone talking about it these days?

What is code? Why is everyone talking about it these days? We know that when we enter code into a computer we get software. And we know that software is part of the fabric of our lives - from the computers in our cars to the ATMs that spit out our money, and to the switching channels on our cable boxes, our lives are run by software. But how does all that actually happen? Not everyone knows how code actually works and why it’s so important. This video takes the confusing subject of coding and makes understandable, while offering fun exercises throughout to demonstrate each point. Whether or not you are interested in coding yourself, it’s worth learning how software and technology work, since they’re eating the world . This might be the most entertaining, thorough, and easiest way to do so. #softwareeatingtheworld #softwaredriven #coding #yearnandlearn https://youtu.be/P86w6CHhmQ4

Killer tips for your new resume

Resumes could have much nicer, cleaner, more readable resumes if they would have been tweaked a bit. And none of these tweaks are hard to accomplish. So, let's start. 1. DON'T use a general resume . You cannot successfully use the same resume to apply to several different jobs. Your resume should be custom written for each job you are targeting. When you send out something generic, it shows apathy and lack of motivation. This is NOT the impression you want to send to your potential employers. 2 . Start with an attractive layout . Use bold and italics to highlight key points. Not recommended downloadable templates because they are very generic and dull. Get creative but not crazy. You can use a little touch of color if you are modest. 3. Use a bulleted style to make your resume more reader-friendly . Given that employers screen resumes for between 2.5 and 20 seconds, they will find your resume a lot more readable if you use bullet points instead of paragraph style. It's just...
