Donna Marie Antoniadis, who is a co-founder & COO of ShesConnected admits in Founders message: “I have been blogging and using social media sites for women for a few years now and my friends had to listen to me complain from time to time about how difficult it was to manage both the personal and professional sides of my life. So, I thought, wouldn’t it be great if there was a place where I could create two profiles but only I knew the two were connected? What I meant by this is a location where you could view my professional profile, but you wouldn’t be able to link to my personal profile—unless I wanted you to.”

Nowadays through highly developed technology it is possible to race even online. According to the iRacing.com, seems that more than 15,000 people have joined iRacing.com. Gardner considers: “Because our membership has grown rapidly, we are able to both lower prices and increase features. We anticipate that by adding value, we’ll increase the enjoyment of our current members and bring even more new members into our community.”

The new pricing structure gave opportunity to the members decrease cost of an annual membership by 37%. Among the new features are private-hosted sessions and a program that awards credits for regular race participation, commence with the November 3rd start of iRacing’s 2009 – Season 4.

The service’s growth since membership was opened to the general public in August, 2008 resulted in a creation of a brand new version of iRacing’s public Web site (www.iracing.com).  

iRacing.com offers a variety of subscriptions. These are month-by-month, two-year plan. It is worth mentioning that every new subscription type price is lower than its predecessor.  

Finally, according to the iRacing.com, the new Race Participation Program, an earned credit of up to $40.00 per year ($10.00 per 12-week season) will be available to all iRacing members regardless of subscription type. 
 
iRacing offers also hosted private sessions. It is as follows: For a single $3.00 hosting fee any iRacing member may organize a private race, using a variety of cars and tracks in the iRacing inventory, which is open to any other iRacing members, without additional charge and regardless of their license level.

As admitted at iRacing.com: “A lot of sim racers have organized their own leagues – groups of friends who like to race together,” Gardner said. “Our existing structure organizes races basically according to skill level, which is what our current members want. From the start we planned to eventually add private racing to the mix. We believe that the private league racers will join the service to take advantage of this new functionality, but will also try out our structured racing, like it, and add that to their schedules.”

Now with a new site - Employerinformation.co.uk you can rate companies. Employerinformation.co.uk aims to be a powerful tool for businesses that are willing to improve staff retention. The rate system is useful not only for the employers but the job seekers who would like to know where they are going to work.

According to the Employer Information it provides employers with invaluable employee reaction to a number of questions about the way their company is run, allowing companies to celebrate their successes and, use the information positively where there are areas that could be improved.

Rate system is a five star point system, visibility of the results are not limited. They can be viewed by current and potential employees, suppliers and work providers.

So, why the Employer Information is useful?

First of all, as an Employer – you are able to get an honest appraisal of employment practices enabling you to celebrate your successes and make improvements where necessary

As an Employee – you have a forum to honestly express your views anonymously to your employer to encourage improvements

As a potential Employee - you can assess any potential employers employment ethic and company culture

As a supplier or work provider – you can ensure that a potential work partner shares similar values and work practices

It is a fact that the site idea is mutually beneficial both for employers, employees, also for the potential Employees and suppliers or work providers. Hope each company will use the information to advantage of their businesses and that will result the satisfaction, improvement of employee-employer relations.
