Dismiss Google+ At Your Own Risk

Anything that can boast a 112% higher engagement is worth a second look. That is just one of the figures that Simply Measured (the social media analytics firm) released yesterday.

Facebook App Center: 900 Million Potential Critics

More work for marketers and app developers. Facebook yesterday announced the App Center, “a new place for people to find social apps.” While Facebook promises the center will give developers an outlet to grow their apps, it has a strong ratings element to it; meaning the 900-million-person Facebook community will police and rate the apps, and the App Center will remove the ones rated substandard.  [...]

Google: Why a Mobile Site Over An App?

Google in its adSense blog has offered some pearls of wisdom about prioritizing between mobile sites or mobile apps. Aren't apps the step-change evolution over mobile sites? Not necessarily, advises Google’s app expert Tuyen Nguyen, who offered some questions to consider. First, decide how you want users to access content. Mobile sites require users to have data access, while apps enabl  [...]

New Developments May Give Online Advertising for the Disabled a Boost

Online advertising is not typically developed with the disabled - namely sight-impaired and hearing-impaired individuals - in mind. However recent developments - from sight-impaired friendly touchpad technology to Google's decision to pilot test American Sign Language in Hangouts - suggest this may be changing. Some Background The exclusion of the disabled from online technologies has never sat well with this constituency, which has sought to remedy the si  [...]

Will Data Fuel the Next Generation of Recommendation Engines?

Two new start ups are developing recommendation engines that focus on relevant data - a gushing hose of it - instead of relying solely on algorithms.

Hotel Industry Pushes Back Hard Against Negative Reviews

The hotel industry has not taken lightly the explosion of social media and online review sites, at least when the resulting comments reflect unfavorably upon their services. Push back has come in the form of aggressive monitoring of such comments, followed by a campaign to either get the comments removed or to have the user retract them.
