Pininterest or the Power of Pictures

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Rob

Pinterest is undoubtedly one of the trendiest social platforms of the moment. Pinterest offers lots of interesting features when it comes to sharing photos and promoting web pages. Based on a simple idea, it is one of the most powerful tools Internet marketers currently use to promote their pages.

Pinterest

How does Pinterest work? It is very easy. This website is actually a huge bulletin board that allows you to create photo albums focused on a specific theme. Most websites already have a “Pin it” button incorporated. Pinterest users pin the photos and group them in thematic briefs called Boards. What’s the commercial benefit? Pinterest is the perfect opportunity for businesses to make their products and services known and to provide the customers with a visual support. A picture is better than a hundred words. This is the principle Pininterest is based on.

Pinterest also has a viral aspect, photos can be shared and used by other Pininterest members who can integrate them on one of their albums. For instance, a furniture manufacturer or seller can create a Web catalog, where to display their products and post the pictures on the social media’s pages. Other Pinterest users will repin the photos; hence, viral effect potential. One of the main advantages Pinterest offers to business players and website owners is that they can associate a URL to the photos, so that they redirect to the web page where the products or services are commercialized.

Pinterest is obviously not perfect. One of the problems refers to the use of pictures which can be copyrighted. Nevertheless, Pinterest has created a lot of fuss around it. Everything revolves largely around referral links and the potential to increase the traffic flow towards websites. Together with Google Plus, Twitter and Facebook, Pininterest is, according to most Internet marketing experts, one of the most powerful traffic generating tool used nowadays by webmasters willing to increase their business’ online exposure.

Google Maps vs Apple

Posted on January 20, 2013 by Rob

With iOS6, Apple tried to break one of its last links with the Mountain View giant by replacing Google Maps installed by default on all new iPhone with Apple Maps. Is this another episode of the eternal battle between the Cupertino based company and the major player of the Internet business field? Or is it a sign that Apple, just like Microsoft aand Nokia understood that maps are one of the future’s major challenges.

Apple engineers have announced they will propose a neater interface due to their partnerships with TomTom and Open Street Map. However, Google has a big step ahead. If taking over the map data freely available, or even implementing their own satellite images in a similar manner to the one used by Google Earth is almost a child’s play, catching up with the 8 million kilometers traveled by Google Cars and with the amount of data collected this way is another story.

 Apple Maps

Entire websites have been quickly built up showcasing the errors contained by Apple’s cartographic product: mislabeled cities, business listing mistakes, geopolitical confusions, overseen landmarks, and so on. These may be reasons for which Google has announced a 400 years advance over its competitors and for which, a few days after the launch, Apple withdrew their maps from the market, advising iPhone users to stick to Google Maps.

That driverless cars are far from the spirit of Apple, Nokia, TomTom and Bing is obvious and so is the fact that they are trying to dent, at least a little bit, Google’s monopole. Apple Maps may be less efficient than Google’s product right now, but from the consumers’ point of view, the arrival of effective competition on an important market is certainly beneficial. As we have got to know Apple so far, they are not going to abandon the project totally and their maps are likely to come back with an improved version. The only question is how long it will take them to reach a good enough level.

It comes with two USB ports, one with USB 3.0 and also Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 wireless connectivity. It comes with 128 GB storage and no DVD drive apparently, which can make it pretty hard to handle for most users. This seems to be a copy of the MacBook Air. It has a i7 processor and the battery lasts for about 4 hours so you will be able to take it whenever you want without worries.

MacBook Pro 15-inch

The new processors on the 2012 MacBook Pro are a big step forward as they offer greater speed and more computing power. It comes with Intel Core i7 Ivy Bridge chips, which is definitely better than the Sandy Bridge CPU that were used the previous year. It comes with a graphic card NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M either with 512 MB or 1GB of GDDR5 and for the first time they use a USB 3.0 port and it also comes with optical drives, FireWire and Ethernet ports.

Samsung Series 9 900X3B

This laptop is a great way to make sure that you get everything you need in a smaller case. It has an incredibly thin case and it only weights about 1.2KG, which makes it even lighter than the MacBook Air. It comes with a great Intel Core i5 2467M processor which is a great tool for multitasking. Unfortunately, this laptop comes with a dedicated graphics card so you might not get the best when it comes to video quality. The battery goes for about 4 hours so you’ll have plenty of time to work.

Online Shopping During Holidays

Posted on October 14, 2012 by Rob

Shopping during holiday can be a really big struggle and with all those videos on the internet with people literally stepping on each other in the malls, you would be a bit reluctant to actually buy something during those times.  But online shopping is a great opportunity to make your shopping without crowds, waiting, and having to be stressed about the traffic. Here are some tips to keep in mind when doing online shopping during the holidays.

Make sure that you find the discount sites – just like the traditional stores, all online stores will have discounts during, before, and after the holidays, so it is best to search for the best prices before buying. This is a good way to reduce your budget drastically, especially when it comes to toys or electronics. Buying these on the internet will definitely help because most of these items have a higher price in malls or other shopping centers, especially during the holidays. All you need to do is search for the name of the item you wish to buy on the internet along with the word “discount” or “sale” and you will probably find a few entries.

Buy your items earlier – the tricky part about buying online during the holidays is the shipping time. Shipment can be really slow during that period so the most important aspect is to make sure that you buy your things a few days earlier. If you manage to order your item at least one week before the event, it will probably reach its destination, but don’t order it two or three days before Christmas for example, if you know the roads are snowy and traffic is terrible. Another important thing when buying earlier is the fact that you will pay lower prices. The longer you wait and the sooner the holiday is, things tend to get more expensive because people are desperate to buy presents and goods.

Order your food – if you can’t find anything in the supermarket, try the online supermarkets. The food might be a little bit expensive but you will actually save on gas and skip the headache you get when you wait in line for hours. When you can buy things from the comfort of your home, why go to the supermarket during a blizzard or rush hour?

Security – Make sure that you buy from secured websites, a lot of websites might be a disguise for phishing scams, so always check if you have a secured connection.

Latest iPad Alternatives

Posted on September 22, 2012 by Rob

The iPad is clearly the market leader when it comes to tablets. However, you might not want a high priced high end tablet but you might be looking for something just as good or even better for less money. Here are some of the best tablets the market has to offer when it comes to both performance and looks.

Google Nexus 7

This tablet has everything you need, speedy performance given by the quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, great graphics with the bright high resolution screen and high quality design with lightweight and great maneuverability. Unfortunately, it lacks microSD card slot and no back facing camera that might make most people reluctant to buy it. However, it uses the great 4.1 Jellybean Android so it can be a great alternative to an iPad, costing about 250 dollars.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is one of the best tablets out there, even better than the high end tablets out there. The great thing about the tablet is the fact that it comes with great battery life, which is pretty unusual for tablets nowadays. It also has a great display but one of the drawbacks is the poor quality camera that is only 3 megapixels. It comes with 16GB Internal memory and a microSD expansion of up to 32GB. The 1GHz Dual-Core Processor is a good addition as it makes it one of the most responsive tablets on the market.

Acer Iconia Tab A200

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a high end tablet but are looking for better build quality and more functions than a very cheap one, the Acer Iconia is for you. It has good graphics and good overall performance, long battery life a nice user friendly interface. It also has a good feel and great build quality. To keep the price low, the manufacturers had to make some concessions like no rear facing camera and the fact that it weigh a bit more than other tablets in its range, but these aren’t very big issues. This product has a very good price to quality ratio, and is a good deal for the money paid.
