There was a note weeks ago that was sent out from Facebook headquarters to the users about some changes taking place.
In it they also announced that they reached 150 million users in February, meaning:
it would be the eighth most populated in the world, just ahead of Japan, Russia and Nigeria.”
Wow, so Facebook is so famous and so used that online businesses that are not utilizing it as a resource are just going to die eventually.
One recruiter I worked with recently has a group that she updates with jobs that she is recruiting for.
I am against Facebook in many ways although I use it extensively. Beshou filled up my application for Facebook months ago and I was one of the most last webby type to get on Facebook, although we do have a bernos group.
When I updated my profile, I decided to put ‘None’ for the location but ‘None’ is a city in Japan, I later found out.
I got an email from a random Ethiogirl saying she wanted to see me on her next visit to Japan, along a list of other Ethiopian residing in or around Japan. With replies and updates at least a dozen emails went back and forth before I told them I didn’t know what they were talking about and to take me out of their list of Ethiopians living around Japan.

I travel through time embracing an identity foreign to my thinking faculties
My soul however is not new to this place
I have been here before
This desert paradise where even the grains of sands tell a story
Strum the guitar
Pluck a kora string
Whisper sweet nothings my Mandinka king
Take me to the streets of Bamako
Camel trekking to Timbuktu
Lead me to a silent prayer in Djenné
Barefoot dancing with the Tuareg in Essakane

Selam Sewoch, I haven’t been writing on bernos consistently because you know, I can’t really say why. You can take a guess, I don’t mind.
But now I am back and so don’t be mad at me! I love you guys, we have been through thick and thin, so don’t complain. I am 100% back with my undivided attention, I have gotten all your emails.
I appreciate the continued support of bernos. Don’t forget to get you a tee, and tell your friends about us. Continue reading ‘Sewoch’
I wanted to wear my first edition “Addis Ababa Classic Tee” Sunday eventing but it was missing for some reason.
I pretty much have every bernos tee except two which were stolen by freinds, family and or girlfreinds I suspect. Now I did have one that was medium but I could not fit it in and viola I found a solution online.
Someone who I had a business meeting with told me that I shouldn’t sell myself short. It made me think about my sales pitch.
Recently there was news of a guy who was selling a Ponzi scheme which final accounting claims are said to be somewhere over in the 60 billion dollars. Bernard Madoff basically stole people money through his asset management company. I have been obsessing about the details because I was so impressed that he was able to get away with it for such a long time. Continue reading ‘Selling Short!’
