After yesterday’s announcement and revealing of the new Apple product, the iPad, the twitterverse was abuzz to the point of near meltdown. And while the Apple fanboys will no doubt jump in line 24 hours before the product is for sale, here are five solid reasons NOT to waste your time on the iPad:
Yesterday’s post about Seesmic Look brought up an interesting point: Seesmic Look is a Twitter application optimized for Windows 7 that will work on other Windows versions, but was designed to make use of Windows 7. But most people don’t have Windows 7. Which begs the question: Should you want Windows 7? You probably will want it at some point, but having a professional install it might be a good idea.
I saw an awesome demo at a holiday party last month where my friend had a PC running Windows 7 and media server hooked up to a 3rd party tuner. He also integrated a Wii and Time Warner U-Verse and let me tell you, the whole setup was mind blowing. I decided then and there it was time to upgrade from my old reliable XP SP3 to Windows 7. His only advice: “do not upgrade; install instead.”
It was an impressive display of corporate sponsorship and ingenuity this morning at the Seesmic Look launch. For those of you wondering what I’m talking about, Seesmic has developed a new desktop application for Twitter users that is supposed to make Twitter more accessible and mainstream (i.e. those of us who might not have adopted it yet because we couldn’t understand it or find a use for it).
If you are selling products online or provide services to both Consumers or Businesses, Pay-Per-Click Advertising can be a rewarding marketing tool for your organization. But to ensure success, there are things you must consider before you embark on a pay-per-click advertising campaign.
Glad you made it to the end of the week. Here are some intriguing articles worth catching up on this weekend. This week’s collection is a little social media heavy, but you’ll find some interesting design, copywriting, and local search stuff as well. Have a great weekend!
This video was too good to not post. I found this quote particularly thought provoking: “Why are we trying to measure social media like a traditional channel anyway? Social media touches every facet of business and is more an extension of good business ethics.” – Erik Qualman
Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Your thoughts are welcome.
