Libraries in NYC Lending Wireless Hotspots

Jan,12,2015,

by: Verena Dobnik

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Public Library is launching the nation's largest Internet lending program, handing out 10,000 free high-speed hot spots to some of the city's poorest residents. The program — which offers the devices for up to a year, about a $1,000 value — seeks to bridge a digital divide in the nation's largest city, where studies have found nearly 3 million of the 8 million people lack broadband access. "It is simply unfathomable that in the digital world in which we live, one-third of New Yorkers do not have access to broadband Internet at home, putting them at a serious disadvantage at school, in applying for jobs, and so much more," said Anthony Marx, president of the New York Public Library  Read More

Your Business Needs to Use Social Media for Customer Service

Dec,16,2014

by: Danielle Celmer

 Social media allows customers to voice their opinions, both positive and negative regarding their experience with your business, and they expect engagement. “By 2014, organizations that refuse to communicate with customers by social media will face the same level of wrath from customers as those that ignore today’s basic expectation that they will respond to emails and phone calls.” –Gartner Inc.

Marketers: How to Define Your 'Internet of Things' Strategy
Jan,09,2015
by:  Tim Dunn

The hoopla emanating from CES in Las Vegas is doubtless troubling execs anxious not to be seen as missing out on the next big thing. From smart projectors to smart beds to a new smart golf club, CES is certainly throwing up something for everyone right now. If you work in digital, then the question of an IoT strategy is likely to crop up imminently. But innovation undertaken for the wrong reasons is rarely conducive to career progression, so it's probably best to be pre-armed with a position that both defends against misconceived projects and also prepares for the internet-of-things-future now before us.

WiFi Direct v Bluetooth: Which Will Win?
Dec,08,2014
by:  Marc Ambasna-Jones
WiFi technology has come a long way since 1997 and the launch of the first 802.11 standard. That was the year Netflix was launched, the Facebook.com domain first went live and JK Rowling published her first novel, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. While Rowling, Netflix and Facebook would go on to become leaders in their fields, WiFi’s rise to the top has not been without its challenges. Yet WiFi as a networking technology has produced a little magic of its own and is now unparalleled, pushing boundaries and not just in internet networking. WiFi Direct, a peer-to-peer version of the technology, has been gaining considerable ground in the last 12 months, to the extent that it is on a potential collision course with Bluetooth. Read More

Why You Shouldn’t Forget About Pinterest

Dec,08,2014
by:Michael Kwan
As an online entrepreneur, Internet marketer or professional blogger, you’ll oftentimes find yourself on a variety of different websites, networking both with like-minded individuals and with your “tribe.” While it’s certainly debatable whether or not you should care about Ello, it’s pretty obvious that the bigger social networks deserve your attention. Building up your audience on social media platforms like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter only makes sense, but then there’s Pinterest too.

Many people, mostly male, have immediately dismissed Pinterest as a site for women to share home baking recipes and flirty outfit ideas, but there’s so much more to the image-focused social network. Indeed, you might remember a post on this blog talking about how you can make $1,000 a day on Pinterest by sharing the right kind of content in the right kind of way. Read More

Yahoo Poised to Pass Twitter in US Mobile Ad Share by 2015 
Dec,04,2014
By Staff
Yahoo’s US mobile ad revenues are not only material now, they’re significant, according to a new forecast from eMarketer. Yahoo reported its mobile revenues for the first time in Q3 2014, and eMarketer estimates that the company will take nearly 3.2% of the $18.99 billion US mobile advertising market in 2014, launching itself into the mix as a competitor. Next year, Yahoo’s US mobile ad revenues will account for 3.74% of the country’s mobile ad market, pushing past Twitter for the first time—which will take 3.69% share in 2015—according to eMarketer. By 2016, Yahoo’s share will near 4.2%, which still trails Google and Facebook by a wide margin. However, the company’s 1-percentage-point gain from 2014 through 2016 represents the largest among companies that we tracked for this latest forecast. Read More

In the mobile waters, Microsoft is swimming against the current somewhat. The Redmond, Wash.-based tech giant announced on Dec. 5 that its Torque app is making the leap from wrist-worn Android Wear devices to Android smartphones. Since Torque's debut in October, Android smartphone users have been clamoring for the ability to shake and search, according to Microsoft. Today, the company is honoring their request. "We have incorporated that feedback into Torque 2.0 and added support for Torque on Android phones," said Microsoft's Torque Team in a blog post. The update also offers "new answers including local events and flight status, a way to launch applications with the twist gesture, and more reliable gesture and voice recognition."  Read More

Report: iOS app cost-per-install 85% higher than Android

Sept,29,2014

by: Shane Schick

The average cost-per-install (CPI) of an iOS app is 85 percent higher than that of Android apps, according to InMobi. The company's State of Mobile App Downloads report is based on data from the second quarter of 2014, April 1 through June 30, on the InMobi network. The company uses a CPI index to calculate how much a developer or publisher would have to spend on mobile advertising to get a user to download something. The higher the CPI Index number, the more expensive for the developer.  Read More

Bringing together app designers and app developers on one team

Sept,30,2014

by: Phil Goldstein

Many independent application developers and smaller studios create apps by focusing on both the design and core development aspects of the app at the same time. They often divide up different tasks in the development process and then merge the work together to ensure that the app works the way they intended. But as apps and mobile games get more sophisticated, tools are emerging that are intended to address gaps in some of these skill sets and foster better collaboration among those who come more from a designer or development background.  Read More

Control Over Your Data Usage? Think Again

Sept,30,2014

by: Andrew Berg

After nervously handing over an iPhone 5 to my 12-year old, I knew I was going to have to do something to monitor the amount of data he was using. I didn't want to completely ban him from using data, but I certainly wanted to mitigate the possibility of overages. 

I found AT&T's Smart Limits to be just the ticket. For a fee of $4.99 per month, the feature allowed me to set a limit for my son. I chose to put a data cap of 1 GB on his line. Smart Limits also allows for other settings, including limiting the number of text messages he can send, blocking certain numbers, and setting quiet time hours.  Read More

How to integrate emotional intelligence into mobile apps

Sept,22,2014

by: Shane Schick

The best way most mobile developers have to gauge how consumers feel about their app or mobile game is pretty simple: If they download it and use it, they're happy. If it gets uninstalled or is abandoned, they're not.  As issues around app retention, app engagement and the improvements of user experiences become more critical, though, a number of firms are beginning to create application programming interfaces (APIs) and software development kits (SDKs) aimed at analyzing a user's emotions much more directly.  Read More

The Gear S will get its own SIM so it can completely stand in for a smartphone and handle voice calls, messaging and notifications. The device will feature an on-screen keyboard and expanded S Voice functionality.

Don't worry, the best app developers won't live with their moms forever   Fierce Developer Apr,08,2014 by:Shane Schick In the countercultural 1960s, the catchphrase among Flower Children used to be "turn on, tune in, drop out." Today, it might better be described as "turn on, tune in, make apps." There was actually something rather refreshing in a recent post on the Harvard Business Review blog called, "Why do app developers still live with their moms?" by Jerry Davis. Instead of the usual rah-rah about the opportunities presented by apps and the ease of entry into the market, the Wilbur K. Pierpont professor of management at the Ross School of Business explores the dark side of self-taught entrepreneurialism. What happens, for example, when young people pin their hopes on becoming an overnight app store hit and let their homework slide? Read More

The Fog of a Price War Is Real in AT&T's New Mobile Share Plans Wireless Week Apr,04,2014 by:Andrew Berg AT&T's new Mobile Share plans are misleading in that they are basically a limited promotion on par with how cable companies offer you an introductory rate, which is then increased at a later date. I'll start out by saying AT&T's new 10GB Mobile Share plans are a good deal: four lines, 10GB of data at $160. You arrive at that amount by adding 4 lines at the new reduced rate of $15 per line (4 X $15 = $60), regardless of device, plus $100 for that 10GB bucket of data. Read More
