FaceBook using concept of Drone ?

With all his talk of better data compression and more efficient phone chips, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive, has had a bit of trouble getting people excited about Internet.org, his ambitious plan to get everyone in the world onto the Internet.
Not anymore. The web was abuzz on Tuesday after a report in TechCrunch that Facebook was in negotiations to buy a manufacturer of drones, Titan Aerospace, for about $60 million.
If a deal is completed, it will give Mr. Zuckerberg an intriguing new technology to further the cause of Internet.org.
Titan’s drones, which resemble solar-powered airplanes, are designed to fly as high as 65,000 feet and stay aloft for as long as five years — essentially functioning like cheap satellites. They could blanket large areas with wireless Internet signals, although the signals would be slower and unable to handle as much data as land-based Internet connections. For remote places like rural Africa, they would be enough to provide at least rudimentary access to the Internet through mobile phones.
Facebook would have to overcome lots of technical and legal problems before a global Facenet would be a reality. But the idea would allow the social network to one-up its rival, Google, which has its own far-fetched plan to extend the Internet to far-flung places via a network of balloons.
And it is a lot closer to reality than Amazon’s idea of drones that will deliver packages.

WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU AT IIM'S

I had the opportunity to visit one of the IIM campuses last month. I asked the first year pgp students how much of digital marketing was being taught in their Marketing program.  I noticed my question made them a tad uncomfortable. The same question when posed to a recent graduate from a top IIM revealed  a similar response.  To my surprise, the digital marketing coverage was either not present in sufficient depth or not treated well enough to leave an impact.   If I were to visit the the campus for recruitment, summer or final, I probably wouldn't be  interested in marketing folks if they didnt understand the basics of  paid search advertising, social media marketing, seo, analytics and the likes. In fact, unless the candidate is unable to engage in a reasonable conversation   about designing ad campaigns, analyzing advertising ROI, concept of quality scores, budgeting for CPC vs CPM or the advanced tactics of remarketing or dynamic adve...
