Most military cockpits in crafts built by countries whose militaries are familiar to us are drab-er colours — grays, olives, slates, black, but Russia painted their craft turquoise. Some viewers might not even know what color they are looking at when they see a Russian turquoise cockpit.
But model making hobbyists and others want to know. People with an interest in color and the effects of color on people might definitely be curious about this one (even considering the quality of early-19th century science / Soviet science.

According to the website of the Cold War Air Museum, the reason is:
“We have been told that the color chosen by Soviet designers helps to reduce stress and maintain a pilot’s effectiveness on long missions. While the Soviets were not the only country (or manufacturer) to use this color, they have used it for so long and in such great numbers that it has become a trademark of Sov-block aircraft.”
Model aircraft painters don’t have to worry about getting the exact shade of turquoise… or maybe it’s even MORE difficult and specialty knowledge to get it: Not all craft were painted at the same time, so some craft have different green or blue tones.
According to one commenter, it’s not just cockpits: “If you ever go to Russia, visit outside of Moscow a train station lavatory. Go the men’s room and do what you need to do…. and look against the wall, you will find out that it is often painted like a green-blue (turquoise) cockpit panel. It’s pressure releasing… that’s all. On the ground and in the air! So the color is just a mental thing.”
The commenter, who gave his name as Bernd, also said, “the scientists found out that this color keeps pilots awake and not getting tired by the black or greay of a cockpit panel, especially under terms and condition of long range flights or under heavy work load.”
Ello was launched last year after a lot of fanfare about it being like Facebook but with no ads. A lot of people joined Ello.
Actually, the beginning was kind of interesting. Do you remember how everyone applied for an invite to get an account. There were reportedly 30,000 people applying per day. Then you would receive an email some time later saying you could join, and you proceeded to make an account.
The design of Ello in minimalist-seeming. The images are very big, and you can’t just drop a link in to generate a photo and title gateway to a page.
How is Ello going for you all so far? I’m still giving it a shot.

Instagram is a tool offered by its makers for people to share their lives over the internet. It has quickly become the preferred social media platform already. People love watching their followers count rise and rise. It has got to the point that users have started to view Instagram followers packages from Buzzoid with keen interest.
The only real drawback to Insta is that you can’t install it on your desktop. So I imagine you are viewing this on mobile right now. Even so, you can still use a service such as socialfollow to gain some followers on the app and start to build your audience.
However, even though you can only use it on phones, it has jumped up to have over 300 million users (according to Mashable). That’s 300 million cell phones with people willing to share their lives, maybe. With so many people using the platform my pet hate is people are still unsure about instagram image size. Luckily, there is help for this online.
The purchase of Instagram by giant Facebook in 2012 made headlines for its

YouTube is giant. And so many vloggers and others are using it to spread the word or gain attention to whatever it is — and there is a variety — they want to put out there.
However, getting started can be a bit of a challenge. If you know any good tips, let us know, and we can post them here for people.
The key, as in all social media, when you want to spread the word, is followers.

Pinterest is used and sort of loved by many many people. Some people are so addicted they check their pins before they go to bed… or even IN bed.
Businesses use Pinterest as well to market their products and services. It is a highly visual service, and makes the most of peoples willingness to collect and “like” things.

Google Plus is a great forum for social media. Often compared to the largest Social Network on the planet, which has no real competition right now, since it grew to tower over Myspace last decade, G+ offers a lot that the Facebook doesn’t, like the ability to present your company or brand (rather than just yourself), the ability to follow G+ users in your gmail account, communicate live with G chat (also from your gmail), and access Google Drives, which you can share and work on live with other people.
And, as everyone knows, it’s linked to Google Search, gmail, Google Drive, YouTube, and all of Google’s other holdings.
Some people using this page here will want to add people to their own accounts on Google Plus, no doubt, but some will want to advertise their worthy G+ Communities to bring more community to them. That’s fine. Just remember to promote only quality things, and you won’t get downvoted into oblivion. Really, everyone should be working on quality things anyways, right?

Twitter is for speed. How can you get a message out faster than Twitter?
It’s relatively simple to build a following of a few thousand on Twitter. Have you heard of #followback?
Basically, all you have to do to get a few thousand Twitter followers is to go to the search box and enter terms like “#followback” and retweet and follow the people who are providing this service. The quality of the followers won’t be the highest, but good things are usually difficult, not easy! However, you will be able to build a base pretty simply to start your community, marketing venture, advertising enterprise, whatever you want to do on social media.
I’m going to tell you some terms to search and some users who are actively providing this service:
If you’re one of those providing this service and we didn’t list you, contact us on Twitter and tell us so we can add you to this list.
2 WARNINGS:
Don’t follow more than around 100 people per day on Twitter. You might want to wait 24 hours to add your first bunch anyway. Your account will be disabled because this violates what Twitter’s rules are. Since Twitter provides a very valuable service and does it pretty well (considering all the things they have to balance), there should be no reason to balk at their simple rules.
