The Beer-filled USB Drive
Let’s say that you’ve run out of beer and for some awful reason you can’t go get more. What could possibly taunt you more than a beer filled USB drive? I swear it would not surprise me in the least to see a news bulletin somewhere, where a guy decided to try to suck the beer out of his USB drive. It’d likely start with one guy either daring or offering up some small fund to do it, like a dollar. It really wouldn’t take much for someone to do it. Well luckily there are no links to actually purchase this USB drive, instead it is just an example of all the cool things a certain company can do with USB drives.
The company can not only fill your USB drive with liquid but add little objects to the mix. Like a car for a racing company. Basically, those cheesy pens that the top of them was filled with liquid have now been replaced with these USB drives. Well, I suppose it had to happen eventually. If you feel the need to create liquid filled USB drives with your company name stamped on them just follow the link to find out more info.

A Good Termination Letter..
Dear Employees,
Due to the current financial situation caused by the slowdown of economy, Management has decided to implement a scheme to put workers of 40 years of age and above on early retirement. This scheme will be known as RAPE (Retire Aged People Early).
Persons selected to be RAPED can apply to management to be eligible for the SHAFT scheme (Special Help After Forced Termination) . Persons who have been RAPED and SHAFTED will be reviewed under the SCREW programme (Scheme Covering Retired Early Workers). A person may be RAPED once, SHAFTED twice and SCREWED as many times as Management deems appropriate.
Persons who have been RAPED can only get AIDS (Additional Income for Dependants & Spouse) or HERPES (Half Earnings for Retired Personnel Early Severance). Obviously persons who have AIDS or HERPES will not be SHAFTED or SCREWED any further by Management.
Persons who are not RAPED and are staying on will receive as much SHIT (Special High Intensity Training) as possible. Management has always prided itself on the amount of SHIT it gives employees. Should you feel that you do not receive enough SHIT, please bring to the attention of your Supervisor.
They have been trained to give you all the SHIT you can handle.
Sincerely,
--
The Management

13 Ways to Move Your Facebook Fans to Action
1. Ask questions
For status updates, try ending with a question. In the example below, Best Buy generated 274 responses so far to their question about what feature your can't live without on your phone.
And, in this example, Skype got 147 comments to their question about meeting your partner via Skype!
2. Use the words "you" or "your"
Use the word "you" often – "What are your thoughts?" "What do you think about xyz?" Here, the Hard Rock Cafe is giving out a coupon code with the words "Our gift to you because you rock…"
3. Keep it short
The easier it is for your fans to read, the more likely they are to respond. Keep your status updates short and simple with one topic. You have up to 420 characters per update, but I recommend about half that for an ideal size. For longer updates, use the Notes app – or write a blog post and update.
4. Post in high-traffic windows
Get to know when your fans are most responsive. Depending on in which part of the world the majority of your fans are, you might want to post between 9:00am and 2:00pm in your timezone.
5. Respond promptly
Do your best to respond to fan questions (as wall posts) as promptly as possible. If you find you can't keep up with the volume of questions, offer a free teleseminar or webinar where you answer the top questions for your fans. You can do this in the traditional way of having people opt-in to get the phone number so you'll build your email list at the same time.
6. Address fans by name
Come back and reply often to your fans' comments – Facebook currently doesn't have threaded commenting, so I suggest addressing specific fans in your comments as @name. See my comment at the bottom of the screenshot below:
7. Comment yourself
Add your own comment as needed to get the ball rolling. However, don't step in too soon. I often find that the comments come more freely when you allow your fans to run by themselves initially.
8. Thank your fans
Acknowledge your fans often with simple thanks. Genuine recognition goes a *long* way!
9. Surprise your fans
Don't be afraid to stray "off topic" from time to time and surprise your fans. In other words, your content doesn't always have to be directly related to your product or service. You might share an inspirational quote and add your own thoughts, for example.
If you happen to know a fan's Twitter ID, send a tweet thanking her/him for the comment on your fan page. With a link of course. :)
10. Use @ tagging
You can tag other fan pages that you're a fan of and your own friends (along with Groups you belong to and Events you've RSVPed for). When appropriate, and used sparingly, @ tags can be a very powerful way to have your post show up on others' walls, which gives you more exposure and brings more fans or potential fans back to engage.
11. Use the Discussion Board
Give your fans a place to network with one another. Plus, often fans want to do self-promotion. You can encourage these types of activities on a specific discussion thread. Also, when you first launch your fan page, be sure to start 3 to 5 discussion topics so it's not a blank tab.
In this example, the most popular discussion thread on Chick-fil-A's fan page is asking their fans where they'd most like to see a Chick-fil-A next. Topics are always listed in order of the most recently commented on.
12. Send updates to fans
Each tab on your fan page and each discussion thread topic has its own unique URL. To bring fans back to your page to contribute to a discussion and get them more engaged, send out an update with a call to action and specific link. (To find the Update feature, click Edit Page under your image then look for Send Update to Fans on the right of your Admin page.)
13. Monitor insights
If you're a perfectionist, the goal is to get 5 stars and a perfect 10 score! Facebook uses algorithms to calculate your Post Quality as determined by the percentage of your fans who engage when you post content, calculated on a rolling seven-day basis. The number of stars depends on how your Post Quality compares to similar pages (for example, pages that have a similar number of fans).

I Salute The Real Heroes
79 years of the sacrifice three young men gave for the nation. Bhagat Singh- Raj Guru- Sukh Dev . Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru the three young men who were hanged on 23-March-1931 near Ferozpur near the present India-Pakistan border. These men never cared about religion and fought for the freedom of the nation. I salute the real heroes..
Bhagat Singh (September 27, 1907[2] – March 23, 1931) was an Indian freedom fighter, considered to be one of the most influential revolutionaries of the Indian independence movement. He is often referred to as Shaheed Bhagat Singh (the word shaheed means "martyr").
Sukhdev Thapar was an Indian freedom fighter who lived from 15 May 1907 to March 23, 1931. Sukhdev was a famous Indian revolutionary who played a major role in the India's struggle for Independence. He is amongst those great Indian freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country.
Shivaram Hari Rajguru (August 24, 1908 - March 23, 1931) was an Indian revolutionary from Maharashtra and belonged to the Deshastha Brahmin community. Rajguru was born in a place named Khed near Pune. It was later renamed as Rajgurunagar in his honor. He is best known as a colleague of Bhagat Singh and Sukhdev in the killing of a British police officer J.P. Saunders at Lahore in 1928 in order to take revenge for the death of veteran leader Lala Lajpat Rai due to excessive police beating. All three were convicted of the crime and hanged on March 23, 1931.

Interesting Love Story
I found this story in one blog through one of my friend ..very much touched and would like to share with you all..
*********************************************************************************
When i was young, there were times when. i would close my eyes, take a deep breathe and hold it...
wishing that everything around me would come to a standstill.Wishing I could change some things around me.
I could never hold my breath long enough!
7am-bath and breakfast,
7.30am-3pm _ college,
3.30 to 6.30 _ sleeping,
6.30 to 9.30 _ studying!,
9.30 - dinner,
11- sleeping!!
This was my daily routine before.... before i was introduced to some fascinating things called INTERNET and ONLINE CHATTING.
INTERNET- The place where I met her for the first time!
INTERNET- The thing which amazingly changed my routine time table to :-
12am - 12pm - 12am (24 hrs) __ Waiting for her message!
Well, let me give a clear picture. After meeting her online and chatting with her for a long time, i felt like sheš the one!
she has got to do something in my life atleast! May be sheš my lucky star.
May be she can do miracles in my life and all. But SHUT UP! sheš just an online friend and i have never met her before.
I dont even know everything about her properly! Sheš just a good online friend and thatš it!
But, If so, then why does she always come in my dreams? Why does she always make me smile for no reasons?
Is it a crush or an attraction or is it the most special 4 lettered word,- LOVE??
Come on! Stop misunderstanding and exaggerating a most common situation! Millions of people meet online daily.
Millions of people become friends online daily.
If all of em started to think like this, then a thousand people find their love every second!
Stop thinkin shit! Hmmm.. May be i should not think about her like that. After all i havent met her even once!
I haven't even seen her pic once! Only i have uploaded my pic and she has seen me.
She gave me her cell no. finally. :) So 'll be always chatting in mobile itself and stopped coming online.
I always used to inform her in the cell wherever i am going, coz who knows, I might meet her by a co incidence.!
I started expressing my feelings finally. Even though i had not seen her, i told that i love her!
Crazy! Like a hero, i told her that i 'll love her no matter how her physical appearance is, and i love her coz of her character and all.
And she accepted it! Oh, finally i have got my soulmate. If she chats so nicely, obviously she'll be good looking and
I'll enjoy my life to the core if she's with me!
But whenever i asked her to meet me, she used to give some reasons and all, and as a result we never met for some 8 months
or so. At that time, i had picturized her in my mind itself, and reached such an extent that I couldn't spend a single hour
without her messages! Stupid cellphones! They're the main reason for 70% of the teens to fall in love.
Suddenly one day, she told me that she is in my college and wanted to meet me! Wow! I started to get nervous.
What will I talk with her when we meet? Thank god there is a rose shop in front of our college.
I took a bouquet of flowers and started walking towards the parking lot, where she told she was waiting.
How come there were soo many good looking gals in our college suddenly? I saw hundreds of cute gals on my way suddenly!
Where were these gals till today? May be its a good sign. They were like angels directly from the heaven.
Finally I came to the parking lot. To meet the girl of my destiny? What will the destiny have for me in its bag?
I'll know about it in a few seconds. There she was. A gal sitting all alone in the parking lot. She has to be the one.
She had long hairs and wearing a salwar. Hmm.. well-cultured, i thought. I called her name. She turned around.....
God!! How could you do this to me?? She was completely opposite to whatever I had imagined.
No, this can't happen. I wanted a good lookin gal. I can't live my whole life with this gal, who was looking like a total stranger
to me. Was she really the one with whom i had shared all my feelings? Can't be.
Somewhere deep inside me, an alarm was ringing, telling me to behave nicely. But i ignored it! She gave me a smile,
for which i replied sarcastically. I asked her why she came there.
She started telling that finally she got a chance to meet the prince of her dreams and all.
But who listens to her anymore? I showed that bouquet and
said that someone has proposed me and gave me that bouquet and i accepted it, and i can't continue anything with her.
Told her that whatever had happened was meaningless since we never met and asked her to stay as a friend only
if she wants and left. May be there were a few drops of tears in her eyes.
But come on! Be realistic. Think practically. It was impossible to continue a relationship with her.
Some of those sitting angels were disappointed in me as i realized on my way back.
One among them was damn cute.Have I seen her somewhere before? seems like a deja vu! I gave a smile to her,
but she just gave a stare as if i am the villain of a good old hindi movie! So I became a single again... and ready to mingle!
After 3-4 years..............
Gradually I had stopped messaging her. She was just a nobody in my life now. Still i somehow was missing her,
regretting what all i did with her. Should I really love someone again? Am i qualified to love again, after somehow cheating her?
Or did I really love her some 3-4 years ago? Is that what people call as love? If not, then I still don't know what love is.
I already got placed in a very good IT company, which gives me a pretty fair amount of money as my income.
So, I'm almost settled in my life, except that there is no LOVE in my life. Wish I could meet her again.
However she might be to look at, she had really understood me.
Do I still have a chance to correct my mistakes by apologizing to her? Is there a chance for me to hook up with her again?
I should've never judged her by her appearance. The biggest mistake i had ever committed........
Suddenly on 13th feb, I got a message from her, asking me to meet her again in the same spot! Wow!
That was something which really made me happy after a very long time. I even started to dance alone!
God finally listened to me it seems. So, I shouldn't spoil it this time.
Then I prepared a small speech of very deep and touching apologizes.
That too she asked me to meet on the valentine's day this time! Definitely it has got to do something.
May be she came to know that I'm regretting a lot. After all, she was the first gal to have really understood me.
Then I purchased a very romantic card for her and wrote my own little poem for her. May be she'll like it.
Finally I went to my good old college, now full of pretty juniors. But parking lot was empty this time, except for a gal, damn cute.
Have I seen her somewhere before? Seems like a deja vu....! I called her name.
That ugly gal, whom i left was nowhere to be found. This cute gal stood up instead! And she was also having a card in her hand.
The alarm suddenly started ringing deep inside me. My brain started remembering things suddenly.
This gal.... was the one, who was sitting there when I was speaking to the ugly gal. This gal... was the one, who stared at me
sarcastically when i gave a smile to her. This gal.... was the one, who was also in the theater when i went to a movie 3-4 years ago
... She was also there when I had gone out to roam around the city so many times, 3-4 years ago! But i never observed it..
that she was observing me! Before i spoke to the ugly gal... After that incident, I had never seen her. It means....
A big jigsaw puzzle, when put together started to give me the facts that this cute gal was..... the one.....
who was supposed to be my soulmate! She was.. the actual one and that ugly gal was a fake one!
God! What's all this? I can't think about anything anymore. What happened to me?
She was judging me during that time, sitting there, testing whether my love was real.
But I failed in it completely. But right now, what was she doing here with a card in her hand? Do i still have a chance?
I wanted to give the romantic card to her, but no words were coming out of my mouth. I was totally speechless.
She spoke to me for the first time... Just summarized everything in 2 sentences..
"You never understood me. You never knew the meaning of love". May be I saw a small droplet of tear from her eyes,
without realizing a few more drops flowing out of my own eyes! She gave that card to me and left, never turning
around. She can't leave me like this in the middle of everything, while I started to discover the truth just now.
Who knows whats there in her card? May be she wants to surprise me by giving this card and she might be waiting
near the gate for me? A card on the valentine's day means there has to be something!
I opened the card finally.
It was ........ her WEDDING CARD.
When i was young, there were times when. i would close my eyes, take a deep breathe and hold it...
wishing that everything around me would come to a standstill.Wishing I could change some things around me.
I could never hold my breath long enough!
