Facebook Look Back Video

Simultaneously with the 10.th anniversary of the Facebook, look back videos of the friends appeared on the news feed. Actually it was a briliant idea since it surprised users, provided them with a summary of their facebook acivities since they join this network and reported that what could this new social media do for the relationships of the people. 
Many of users impressed by reviewing their last 7-8 years in pictures and status sentences. But for me there were some gaps I could not see any sign of my wedding, which could have ipressed me. For the most liked posts it showed a picture of my dissertation with around 80-90 like while I remember pictures more than 180 like! So something sucks! some thing that could not convince me to share my look back video on my timeline!

Today I saw a post that Facebook enables the users to edit their look back video. :) yes they recognized the gap but...

"Dear fb you could recognize me, yes my look back was not representative of me! But I preferred you had CRM me better instead of adding edit button! "

By this you gave me the message that "we could not fix it, do it yourself!"

It is strange to find my publication in a google search...
http://www.essays.se/about/Sonay+Ardi/

yess! it is me!!
a little bit of ego is always needesd!! isnt it!?
Well saying goodbye to Sweden I am in Turkey once more! no rest is here although it is mostly family visits.
3 meetings in 4 days seems to be a good start! There are strange categories of businesses! I am trying to understand these models now. There can be a business type which works with friendship relationships and you have to answer regarding the respect you or your family have for that business(or better to say to the owner of the business), an Anatolian type! but the other hand you can also find a business relationship which it is possible to ask clear about almost every thing within it, an European type!!!! To be honest it is too soon to judge about this and these sentences are just for reflecting my insights.

In the previous meetings I could see that there still business types which are not understanding the value of the user research or may be can not trust on it, and therefore don't pay for it. But on the other hand there are companies which are doing it taking advantage off modern called user research methods.. It is really nice to find this type of groups..

I need time to understand more.. wish this won't bring regret to me! but meanwhile let's enjoy the beauty of Istanbul:

Well, thr presentation phase had paased! paradoxial feelings in me!
I think it was a successful presentation. But don't forget to control the data again and againbefore the presentation! Just 10 minutes before people start to come for the presentation I recognized a huge mistake in my statistical data!! fixed it rapidly but could be worse if I didn't recognize it!

By the way, it seems that I love people asking me questions!! I like the Q&A part the most!
Now I am waiting for Ali for his last post of edits for the thesis and the official procedure. Then professional life should be looked for! Most stressfull part! I will look for job in Istanbul and apply for PhDs at the same time! We will see what will happen after study! But I feel that it is just the begining of the study not the end!
