Social media like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail banned on Wall Street For young Wall Street employees who live their lives through social media, working at a big bank can feel as if the plug has been pulled. Most financial firms ban Facebook, Twitter and Gmail, and block most music and video streaming sites. Working on Wall Street is "a full life commitment, and without access to social media or personal email it can often feel like nothing exists outside of work," said one JPMorgan Chase analyst who spoke on condition that he not be named because he is not allowed to talk to the media. So he and other first- and second-year analysts, who commonly work more than 80 hours a week, are fighting back. They are relying on an informal network of strategies to subvert company firewalls and stay connected. To watch soccer highlights, for example, one analyst translated the names of the teams through Google and looked for them on Rutube, YouTube...

In order to obtain a high search engine rank, you need to employ SEO (search engine optimization) techniques. And this can take a significant amount of time and/or money depending on whether or not you do it yourself of hire someone else to do it. SEO software is also a viable option to consider. If you've decided that you want to be the one to check your search engine ranking yourself, and to take care of the SEO for your website, you'll need to ...

Costly Mistakes to Avoid When Designing Your Website It is important, however, for you to be aware of the dos and don'ts when planning a website. Mistake No. 1: Poor Website Layout and Design Your website needs to be easy to navigate and visually appealing. Choose two or three colors and stick with them. Don't change your color scheme on every page. Ensure your navigation bar is either at the top or the left-hand side of the screen – most people are used to that. Also consider including a navigation bar at the bottom, especially if your pages are long. Mistake No. 2: Not Enough Information Too often I hear people say, "I just want a website with a little bit of information so that it is not too busy." This is a big mistake. When people are looking on the Internet, they want the information right there and then. They don't want to have to wait until they can e-mail you or speak to you on the phone to get more details. Remember, yo...
