Yahoo: Let's Get Ready to Tumblr!?
May 20th, 2013 by Shawn Paul Wood
The periwinkle-hued buzz was in the air for months. The Yahoo corporate flag has been flying at half-mast for a good part of a decade based on declining earnings reports, consumer attrition and overall lack of relevance, but Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer thinks she had an adroit way to get back into the hipster's sphere of knowledge. Thanks to Kara Swisher of 'All Things D' fame...
Can Technology Really Stop Bullies?
May 17th, 2013 by Christine Geraci
Sticks and stones may break bones, but online words can drive you to suicide. Gone are the days when bullies were easy to spot. They aren't always big stereotypical lugs taking your lunch money, beating you up on the bus, making you walk the long way home, yelling "O'Doyle Rules!" These days, they could be any otherwise quiet, normal kid, taking to social networking sites, bringing other people together for the specific purpose of typing hormonal, angst-ridden rage right at you.
Google Ups The Ante
May 17th, 2013 by Lakai Newman
Without question, Google is a brand that has found its way into almost every platform of our technological desires. As the largest email provider, it lets us attach photos, documents, videos, event invites, and now... money. Sending money digitally has been around for years. Amazon, Serve, Venmo, and the ubiquitous Paypal have all been methods of sending and receiving funds.
Google Came Out Swinging
May 17th, 2013 by Greg Dorn
Not even a day and a half into Google’s annual I/O conference, and the tech giant has revealed and released an impressive array of functionalities, capabilities, and cool new tricks. The Internet has been abuzz about Google’s future plans following the conference opening. And given the fact that no new hardware was announced, that’s quite a feat (we’re looking at you, Google Glass, although major apps such as Facebook and CNN were announced today...)
Book a Flash Mob
May 16th, 2013 by Jessica Cherok
Does anyone else find it disheartening that flash mobs are now for hire? In maybe one of the biggest displays of how much corporations just don’t get it, many companies are hiring flash mobs to create spontaneity at their corporate functions. Yes, create spontaneity. Now HR departments are organizing flash mobs rather than social media.
Viral Bait: Infographics
May 15th, 2013 by Marion Guthrie
Infographics are everywhere. You find them on blogs, websites, press releases, social networks, even the weather report. These colorfully illustrated charts break down data into simple pictures and turn complex information into easy-to-understand symbols. By making the difficult digestible (and sometimes fun), infographics catch the attention of your audience. Just as importantly, Google loves them and will reward their delivery with top search rankings.
Social Media Success is a Sum of Smaller Parts
May 15th, 2013 by Christine Geraci
When all is said and done, a quality social media presence is about making friends. You have to decide what kind of friends you want: Are you OK with accumulating shallow, superficial acquaintances, or do you want deep, meaningful relationships? If you're cool with shallow and superficial, by all means: Run a lot of gimmicky contests to get likes and follows, respond sparingly to questions, and spend lots of time promoting the crap out of how awesome you think you are.
Facebook Home is About to be Evicted
May 15th, 2013 by Jessica Cherok
It looks like Facebook Home hasn’t found its forever home. At least, not with AT&T. After only one month, the service provider is rumored to be looking to ditch the HTC First smartphone. If you’ll remember, HTC First is the model debuted as having Facebook Home fully integrated into its operating system. If Facebook Home had launched a couple of years ago...
