SoLoMo - redefined

Sat, 05 May 2012 23:04:10 GMT

I have been at Internet World 2012 in London last week and there was a lot of talk about mobile and social. The term SoLoMo has been around for some time now.. However, with more focus on mobile and the fact that social is not the only popular activity through mobile .. I think we need to reorder the term to MoLoSo ?!! Check the stats and share your thoughts.....

Would you switch - Google+

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 22:46:17 GMT

Following on my last blog piece about whether or not we should change our Facebook profile to use the new Timeline interface or not (not that we had much of a choice) I have recently read about Google new interface on Google+ and even updated my own using some of the new features that seem to make it more interactive and theoretically more inviting, but is that what is wrong with the current Google+ ?

Did You Switch ? Time for the Timeline

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:58:34 GMT

I guess it is about time … Facebook has been going about this since the F8 summit last year. I do understand that they needed to make sure the application is solid enough with the number of devices that Facebook aims to support, but from a user point of view, I must say, I don’t get it. Maybe if I have spent my life on Facebook it might seem interesting to see how a moved through the decades and what I have been interested in as time goes by, however, I find it hard to read through the Timeline of others as a way of identifying who they are.

This basically lead to what benefits does the new view bring to the main object in Facebook, the User?

So Flash is Dead ..What is Next ..

Sun, 27 Nov 2011 20:56:32 GMT

I have recently read that Google is not worried about not continuing support for Flash beyond its newest Android mobile OS version nicknamed "Ice Cream Sandwich". The Flash support was a winning ticket for the Android mobile OS over its rival the iPhone.. But since Adobe is officially turning off Flash support on mobile as confirmed by an announcement from ZDNET... The question of "What is Next for Animation for mobiles or on any other site, since having a mobile friendly site is the norm, lingers into the minds of every marketeer.

Africa and social media

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 23:07:01 GMT

It is quite interesting to see how the Internet changed how we socialise . From email to social networking the last decade or so brought all that and more, changing our basic and natural humanly instinct to connect in forms very few people thought possible.

F8- Change is going to come

Wed, 05 Oct 2011 19:57:21 GMT

By now, we have all either attended , watched, or have read about the F8 developers conference on Sep 22nd. Although not a fan of Andy Samberg trying to play Mark Zuckerberg, it was a good way to layout the foundation of what we can and should expect from Facebook. I can understand that change is going to happen, well, it is the right year for it.. But again, why the change…? Well, those promoting change will say, change is for the better. In software development, I would like to say if it not broken no need to fix it.. So what is the purpose of the change in Facebook?

Another social player... Google Circles

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 21:18:17 GMT

I must say that for the past weeks or so since the Google + was launched, I have been receiving “Join my circle” requests from everyone. I have even added a few myself. The thing is, what might drive us to engage in communications through Google circle if we are all on Facebook?

The filter bubble

Thu, 07 Jul 2011 21:02:55 GMT

I am one of the people who delete web cookies, browsers cache, and make sure not to be logged into anything while I do search or online shopping. For a person working in the field of digital marketing, one would assume that I should support these technologies knowing how beneficial they are in delivering the right content to the right person. Which I do support from that perspective, however, I question the level of targeting currently being deployed and automated to the point of limiting what we get to see and become aware off although it is publicly available online.

Does the world need another social button ? +1

Thu, 23 Jun 2011 23:22:27 GMT

I must hand it out to those in Google for coming up with the +1 and trying to push it as much as they can.... I must admit it is definitely a second strike since the buzz did not seem to get enough kick as the likes and the tweets.....

A website or a Social Page

Fri, 10 Jun 2011 06:05:01 GMT

As more and more people move towards using social channels like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Buzz, and others institutes, businesses, and even local services are faced with the dilemma of should we focus on the website and let it target people on social hubs, or should we focus on the social hubs and drive traffic to the website....

Why How What ...not the other way round

Mon, 23 May 2011 22:38:46 GMT

I never thought about it until I listened to Simon Sinek: How great leaders inspire action talk about why some companies make it in the world of business while others are still dragging behind or even worst climbed and fell with no hope of going up again......

The social software package

Thu, 19 May 2011 21:52:45 GMT

As I do every year now, I attended Internet World in London's Earl court. The exhibition attracts just about every SMB looking to get a bite of the digital market and every single agency who can not afford to miss this jungle for hunting clients.
I would say I am a regular and this year the queues to listen to the likes of Google and Facebook are even longer..

Social media and social networking was the theme this year just like last year. I did not get much out of the exhibition this time, however, few seminars did catch my attention and got me thinking.. One I wrote about (Unsocial in a social market) and another was talking about strategy and policy opening the door for a discussion about the need for a proper social software.... how do you define that ?

Unsocial in a Social Market

Sat, 14 May 2011 22:47:18 GMT

I have attended a seminar recently about how much social one can be in a virtual world. Although networks like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others redefined how we as humans interact, one thing remains, we are still humans and do have boundaries when it comes to how social we can be....

iPad - Not for emails

Tue, 05 Apr 2011 20:50:06 GMT

As promised this is my second encounter with the thing called the iPad, my first review, for those of you who did not read it, covered the commercial representation of the iPad in comparison to the iPhone and the issue of usability in reference to what the device actually does vs what it adds in terms of value.

Walk in the Cloud

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 23:03:52 GMT

One more term harvested by computer semantics ... We were cool with the Mouse, we accepted the Web, we nurtured words like client / server, master / slave, desktop, and folder. Now it is the Cloud ..

iPad - Not for Business

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 22:40:40 GMT

A friend of mine got an iPad as a gift and I decided to give it a try since I won't be buying one. For those of you who love Apple this might not be something you would enjoy reading so you may stop here....

Bing IT no Google IT

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:26:53 GMT

In the past weeks there was a story about Google acusing Bing of copying its search results... Apparently Google has been suspecting Microsoft of doing that and planted some gibberish keywords to see if they show the same page results on Bing and they did..... I guess the big giants are to keep clashing when ever.. but is Bing really a match.....

To tweet or not to tweet

Mon, 24 Jan 2011 23:08:14 GMT

I have recently read a report from Twitter that there are more tweets from London than in the enitre world including the all mighty USA. I am not sure what is emerging in the UK to cause that many tweets with only 40million people online.

Another more recent report stated that twitter is expecting $150 millions from ads revenue in 2011. I guess with that many tweets many companies are willing to pay $4 per tweet to just show up their adverts.

HTML 5 where did it all go wrong ??

Fri, 24 Dec 2010 21:41:43 GMT

I had the chance to test and see in action how HTML 5 will or attempt to work on various browsers. An overall comparison of what HTML 5 is bringing to the table and what it's predecessors has done with the support of scripts using Java and Visual Basic you wonder what W3.org is telling us after what it seems to have been 7 years in the making......

Support Free Resources - Support this Site

Fri, 13 Aug 2010 09:25:35 GMT

I believe the Internet needs to remain free for all...... I understand the need to make money out of actual physical products however, making money of articles, research papers, and information is just simply being mean. How can you put a price on giving information that can help someone learn and become a better person or succeed in something... How can I put a price on reaching out to people and improving their lives and pushing them forward without having to worry about what they need to give in return .....

Sitting duck .. Behavioral targeting

Thu, 24 Jun 2010 21:48:20 GMT

If you ever wondered how come all the banner ads on your gmail, yahoo mail. live, or facebook are related to to something you have searched for or bought in the past weeks or so .. wonder no more ... we are being watched and there is little we can do about it......

B2B Social Marketing 2 B or not 2 B !!

Mon, 10 May 2010 22:47:27 GMT

I have been working within a B2B company for almost a year now and been involved mainly in generating leads through the company's websites. The nice thing about working within a B2B framework is to see how to apply the innovative and smart techniques that are adapted across the web (which is consumer centric) into a business model where most of the target audience is not looking for the business online.........

Word of Mouse !!

Wed, 05 May 2010 19:03:20 GMT

I have been to Internet World in London this year and the buzz was all about social marketing and how twitter, Facebook, and Linked In have changed the battle field of marketing...... If you are a search engine optimization guru or a wiz at digital marketing or you are just a casual business person you must be practicing the fine art of Word of Mouse ...!!!

Information or Jargon, unlock the web !!!!

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 21:38:40 GMT

I am discussing a matter that reflects on how we use technology on daily bases. If we are to consider the amount of information that has been made available online we would see that it has grown massive and does raise the flag of how would we be able to distinguished plain useful information from Jargon or technical rubbish??
