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...
Facebook Makes the Heart Grow Sadder
May 14th, 2013 by Aprel Phelps Downey
Two people meet, feel the spark of a connection begin to form. It soon turns into a full-fledged romantic relationship. Declarations of love are made to family and friends. Text messages filled with sweet nothings are sent back and forth between one another throughout the day. You feel as if you are sitting on top of the world. You want to share this new romance with anyone who will listen.
Snapchat's Not-So Deleted Photos
May 13th, 2013 by Jessica Cherok
It’s been said time and time again — once it has been made public, it’s out there forever. To which Snapchat responded, “Not with us.” Snapchat, a photo-sharing service allowing the uploader to pick an expiration date for images shared, became wildly popular because it gave users more control over their pictures. That silly, albeit slightly risqué photo may not be so funny...
Is Klout’s Social Measuring Relevant Now That It Has Copied Quora?
May 13th, 2013 by Tom Roarty
As mentioned in a previous article for Talent Zoo, I believed that Klout was once headed in the right direction to help separate those who could be prospective social media experts from those who are social media hobbyists. However, after an article released by Wired.com this past week, I no longer have the same faith in the app that I once did. According to Steven Levy, the article’s author, Klout wants to break away from just the scorekeeping aspect of its business to become more of a social network. The premise is that if you have a question, you can now ask a “Klout Expert” who will eventually, in real time as the service catches on, be able to answer your question. The premise sounds good, but is it good for Klout?
