韓寒 - 內地「八十後」的風雲人物 (P.4)
專欄 - 指點天下(王永平): 「八十後」的風雲人物 (P.4)

我們對八十後(即上世紀八十年代出生的一代年輕人)的印象是他們大部分事業未成，不少人對現實不滿，更有少數參與各式各樣的抗議行動，例如遊行示威或反對興建高鐵。但是去年《亞洲週刊》推選一名內地「八十後」為當年的風雲人物。他是韓寒，二十七歲的作家和賽車手。他的博客網站瀏覽率近三億。他關心公共議題，例如強拆民居事件。他評論一針見血，不畏權威。十年前，韓寒從中高一退學，現在他是全球點擊總量最高的博客，中國汽車拉力賽的總冠軍。他與前輩作家、官員筆戰，亦與「愛國」青年激辯。對作協成員，他說：「你是要比我低級的，因為你是國家豢養的」。對官員，他說：「政府經常在同一條河裡跌落好多次……當然，永遠淹不死就是他的本事了。」對「愛國」青年，他說：「我願被你們說成是漢奸和走狗，只是要你們接受不同的聲音」。韓寒孝順、儉樸、給父母親買房子、收養流浪狗。他面容英俊，甚至出過唱片，對內地年輕人有很大的影響力。但他不參與政治活動，在專訪中，他承認經常妥協，例如網站說這個能不能不寫，他說隨便。他說很多人把國家和政權綁在一起，但這也沒關係，慢慢來吧。看完《亞洲週刊》介紹韓寒的文章及上網瀏覽他的博客文章，我深受感動。這樣一個人物，再過十年，一定會啟發內地年輕一代的思想，從而改變當權者的政策和行為。韓寒有兩句說話鏗鏘有力，一是：「我們永遠要強調一個個體，因為個體是最動人的。」二是：「中國人有很大的問題，就是不分對錯，只有立場」。希望香港是個永遠強調個體的地方，而特區政府和它的支持者，對批評的聲音只分對錯，沒有立場。

15 Twitter tips for beginners
- Start off by posting a few innocuous posts – “trying out Twitter”, “Recently moved to Vancouver, anyone here from Vancouver?”, and some stuff introducing yourself your interests & why you’re using Twitter, e.g. “I hope to learn more about cleantech”, that kind of thing.
- Then build up your network. Start with your friends you know to be on Twitter. Start following them. But also look at the list of people they are following. You may know some of them too, if so, add them to the list of people you follow too.
- If you precede someone’s username with the @ symbol in a post on Twitter (i.e. “@tomraftery how is it going?”) then your post appears in the Reply tab on their Twitter page. This works whether they are following you or not. When you @reply to someone, they are likely to check out your profile and may decide to follow you. This is a very powerful way to build up your network with people who don’t necessarily know you but with whom you want to connect.
- Check out the TwitterGrader page for your area, for instance, if you are based in Andalucia, in the south of Spain, like me, check the TwitterGrader page for Andalucia and you’ll find some interesting people you may want to connect to, to get into the local scene.
- Follow some of the people there, check who they are following and talking to (@ replying to) and consider following them too.
- Sidenote: if you precede someone’s username with “d ” (i.e. “d tomraftery how is it going?”) this sends a private message only to them – called a direct message or DM. You can only send DMs to people who have chosen to follow you.
- Also, don’t be shy about asking your friends to pimp you to their followers!
- On the computer – download & install Adobe AIR (if you don’t already have it installed). Then use either Twhirl or TweetDeck for posting/reading posts. I prefer TweetDeck. The Twitter web interface is still prob the best for checking people’s profiles and seeing who they follow.
- On the iPod Touch/iPhone use Twitterfon, on Blackberry I hear Twitterberry is good and
- On any other phone use dabr.co.uk – a web based mobile Twitter client
- Always remember, if you @reply someone looking to get their attention or hoping they will follow you, they will likely click through to check out your Twitter page. There are many bots on Twitter so to weed out real/interesting users from bots I always look at a persons most recent posts to see what they are talking about (if their posts are all links to one site, forget it!), I look at the number of people they follow vs the number of people following them. If they are following 1,000 say and have very few followers, it is a sure sign that they are a bot who just auto-followed lots of people.
- I also check out what the person says about themselves in the bio and click on their site, if they have one.
- If you want people to follow you, then ensure your updates are not protected. Someone coming to your Twitter page and seeing Protected Updates is very unlikely to decide to follow you.
- Purely a personal preference, but I think it is far better to use your own name on your Twitter account than some handle. It is a matter of personal branding but to my mind, a Twitter account called @JohnDoe tells me more about the user than @stargazr49!
- Finally, a photo is also very important on your account, be sure to add one to your profile
- BONUS EXTRA TIP!!! – Use your Twitter username everywhere – add it to your email sig, put it on your business cards, leave it in blog comments – don’t spam, just do it where appropriate.
Then, using Twitter:

追IP地址知賣家身份 網上賣冒牌貨拘19人
(AM730 2009年12月11日P.6)
http://www.am730.com.hk/old_issue/issue/2009/200912/20091211/default1.html?startpage=7
網上購物愈來愈普及，為避過執法人員的拘捕，有不法之徒利用拍賣網、並以郵寄方式，將侵權物品出售，海關最近打擊拍賣網站售賣侵權貨品，檢獲總值17萬元的冒牌貨，拘捕19名男女，當中包括學生和家庭主婦，各人均獲准保釋候查。海關於上月25日起展開代號為「撒網」的行動，動員約100人，打擊拍賣網站售賣侵權貨品的行為，行動中，充公14部電腦，檢獲546件包括冒牌球衣、手袋、珠寶及皮革用品等。被捕的19人，包括12女7男，年齡介乎18至48歲，包括10名在職人士、5名待業者、2名學生和2名家庭主婦。兩名被捕學生一名是夜校女生(22歲)，另一名預科女生(18歲)偕母共同經營拍賣戶口，由女生負責操作電腦，與買家接觸，其母則負責選購冒牌貨物，主要售賣太陽眼鏡。此外，另外一對情侶分別經營個別拍賣戶口。
追IP地址知賣家身份
海關版權及商標調查科高級監督何仕景表示，網上賣假貨漸趨嚴重，今年破獲44宗，比去年多近七成，過往不法分子在拍賣網站售出物品後，多採用與買家見面交貨的形式交易，但為減低被拘捕的風險，不法分子現大多改以利用郵寄方式，將冒牌貨寄給買家，「完完全全是因為他們覺得，網上售賣冒牌貨是沒有人會拘捕他的，完完全全是意識的問題。」他稱，海關在互聯網服務供應商的協助下，能夠輕易追蹤涉案電腦的IP地址，故無論以任何方式交易，海關反互聯網盜版隊都可追查其身份而成功破案。海關指在聖誕期間會加強巡查拍賣網，也提醒售賣冒牌貨需負上刑事責任及留有案底，呼籲市民不要以身試法。

全身不遂 仍能動腦 癱男毅志成大狀
(AM730 2009年12月03日 P.24)
黃金盛年遭逢全身癱瘓的巨變，有人絕望尋死，也有人激發生命潛力，創出超越健全者的成就。英國一名青年在欖球賽中受傷四肢癱瘓，但他深信最強器官還是腦袋，終克服萬難考入法律系，再晉身頂尖律師行。現年22歲的馬特金(Matt King)，17歲時參加首場職業欖球賽，開賽僅20秒，即遭對手的膝蓋意外重創頸部。他住院9個月總算保住性命，惟僅餘五官能郁動，頸部以下全身癱瘓，並須賴導管呼吸。他當時腦海只浮現3個字：讓我死！5年後的今天，馬特金卻是一級榮譽的法律畢業生，更贏得倫敦頂尖律師樓的實習合約。他的積極人生觀及對抗逆境的毅力，也為不少殘障人士照亮未來。他猶記出院後如何面對慘變：「人生就此天翻地覆，我由漆黑看不見將來，到燃起希望曙光，是明白到腦袋才是最珍貴的器官，自己腦部無損已是天賜的恩惠。」馬特金也思索自己可以在哪個行業立足，隨即想到法律。「就攻讀法律系吧，只要動腦筋就行了。」出院第二個月他即重返校園，在高考取得歷史及地理A級成績，繼而考入赫特福德郡大學法律系。他癱瘓後不斷為殘障者爭取權益，07年就創下紀錄，以電動輪椅參賽紐約馬拉松，用下巴推動輪椅控制桿，完成6個半小時的艱巨賽程。取錄他的律師樓見習部主管表示，馬特金克服殘障的過程匪夷所思，加上其敏銳智力，他日必成法律界精英。

"Martians, Venusians, and Networking" - The differences between male and female networkers by Dr. Ivan Misner and Hazel Walker.
Source: http://successnet.czcommunity.com/from-the-founder/martians-venusians-and-networking/4063/
Men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but networking is just networking, right? Or is it?
Over the years we have worked with both men and women to grow their businesses by referral, and recently, as part of a study, we have observed the differences between how men and women network. In particular, we have noted how the genders utilize the VCP Process differently.
Every relationship, regardless of its nature, goes through a process. In the world of networking, the process of building a business relationship is called the VCP Process. Following are the steps in the VCP Process:
Visibility - This is the point in the relationship at which individuals first meet. They might simply have a conversation, trade contact information, and move on. This might happen several times. At this stage, individuals merely have to remember one another and have some basic knowledge of the other.
Credibility - This is the second phase of the relationship. In this phase, two individuals have interacted several times and trust one another. The longer they know, work with, and support each other, the deeper their credibility and trust. At this phase of the relationship the two networking partners begin to trust and help each other—and the relationship continues to grow.
Profitability - This is the third phase of the relationship. At this point, two networking partners completely trust each other, open their networks and customer databases to each other, and proactively help each other. Each has a deeper understanding of the other’s business and knows how to develop referrals and connections as well as open doors.
The Transactional vs. the Personal Networking Relationship
Since the days of hunting and gathering, there have been assumptions about the genders and how each experiences the world differently. So there remains today a fascination with the differences between men and women. As networkers, we are specifically curious about how men and women use the VCP Process differently—and how that impacts the sales process.
One key difference is women generally work the VCP Process more slowly. Women often spend a great deal of time at the Visibility stage—individually getting to know those in their network. Remarkably, we have witnessed that many women will work the VCP Process expertly up until the point where they achieve optimum Credibility; suddenly, they stall the process. At that point it won’t move forward to the next level of Profitability.
We cannot yet say for sure why this happens. But we’ve hypothesized that many women are hesitant to directly ask for a sale or a referral, for fear of overstepping their boundaries and losing credibility. Instead, they wait to be asked about what referrals or sales they are looking for. If their networking partners never ask, then these women often don’t enter into the Profitability stage.
Another key difference we’ve observed is that, generally speaking, men have a propensity to work the VCP Process in a far more transactional way than women. A significant percentage of the male networkers we have studied tend to start the relationship building process with Visibility and then prematurely move the relationship to the Profitability phase by asking for business and referrals before it is appropriate to do so. These same men will quickly start the process over again if the relationship in which they asked for a referral or a sale does not prove to be profitable.
Does genetic makeup have anything to do with why a compelling number of female networkers excel in the Visibility and Credibility phases of building relationships but fall flat when it comes to the final phase of Profitability, and why such a prominent portion of male networkers tend to jump blindly from Visibility into Profitability?
Interesting and mysterious, these differences are the basis for our upcoming book, Business Networking and Sex. If we can learn more about how the two genders are different and alike at the same time, we can learn to be more effective at the entire networking process. And to us, that’s very exciting!
If you’re curious about whether our observations about men and women and how they network may prove to be genetically determined, take five minutes to complete our survey and be a part of helping us find out!
Tell us what you think! Do men and women network differently? If so, how?
