Posted by Unknown Selasa, 18 Februari 2014 0 komentar

Bing-apps

Bing launched three news Windows Phone 8 apps Tuesday: Bing Food and Drink, Bing Health and Fitness, and Bing Travel.

In addition to the new apps, Microsoft's search engine updated its existing Windows Phone 8 apps, and announced that all Bing apps will now sync across Windows 8 devices.

"Set up your favorite cities for weather, pick your favorite sports teams, chose the news topics you want to follow, and those things will be with you at your PC at work, on your Windows 8 tablet in the living room or on your Windows Phone when you are on the go," Bing said in a blog post announcing the changes.

The new lifestyle apps offer a host of tools for planning and tracking meals, health and fitness data, as well as travel plans.

Food and Drink is an extensive food and beverage guide. The app has more than 600,000 recipes culled from recipes sites such as AllRecipes.com, Epicurious.com and BonAppetit.com. For drinks, it includes a wine encyclopedia, which catalogs tasting notes from more than a million bottles of wine, as well as a cocktail guide with recipes for popular cocktails.

Drobox CEO Wins Founder Of The Year Award

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 11 Februari 2014 0 komentar

Chief Executive Officer and Chief Technology Officer of Dropbox Drew Houston and Arash Ferdowsi won awards in the 7th Annual Crunchies Award. The CEO Drew Houston who won the founder of the year, had an interview session with TechCrunch where he shared his experience of being CEO of a start-up, achievements and challenges. He is also inspired by his employees who left Big companies like Google and Facebook to join his start-up.

In 2013 alone, Dropbox grew from 200 to over 500 employees. It acquired popular email app Mailbox plus teams from smaller startups like Endorse, Snapjoy, and Sold. Dropbox threw its first developer conference and overhauled its For Business product in anticipation for an enterprise sales push. To fund that and new storage innovations, Dropbox is said to have raised a hefty $250 million round with investors trying to bet even more on the company.

Mobile Ads Gist

Posted by Unknown Senin, 10 Februari 2014 0 komentar

InMobi is making its biggest push so far in capturing a larger share of the $11.9 billion mobile advertising market, as it launches its new video ad platformtoday.
The new mobile video platform also underscores InMobi’s growing ambitions beyond being a pure ad network, and seriously challenge Google and Facebook as a more broad-based rival in the ecosystem. Last year in October, InMobi launched a white label app store for publishers to boost mobile ads.

InMobi’s transition to becoming a more broad-based mobile ad company reflects a much deeper shift in the market. As the installed base of smartphones is rising, users are spending much more time consuming content on their mobiles. Everybody from Google to Facebook are following this shift, and it’s becoming exciting to track how each one of them is innovating in a year when traditional banner ads are supposed to be dead.

Dropbox: Expansion Looms

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Dropbox is growing so fast it will soon run out of room at its San Francisco headquarters. That’s why it’s just signed a 12-year lease on a second office a 10-minute walk away at 333 Brannan to house spillover of its 500 employees, sources close to the company tell me. Kilroy Realty put out a press release bragging about leasing the space to Dropbox.
Back in 2012, Dropbox moved from an 11,000 square foot Mid-Market office into its current spot at 185 Berry St in the China Basin area of San Francisco’s South Park district. Originally that office was 87,000 square feet, but then Dropbox expanded to more of the building to occupy a total of 200,000 square feet.
Dropbox had less than half the number of employees needed to fill it. With so much ground to cover, employees would often ride scooters and skateboard-like Ripsticks over its polished cement floors. There were lines of unfurnished meeting rooms, and a whole wing of the office was completely uninhabited.But last enterprise press event in December, it was already starting to feel claustrophobic. With so many people walking around, wheeled-locomotion had become too dangerous to attempt. Every area was crammed full of desks as well as LED art, a jam room for musical instruments, and sculptures of its AK-47-toting velociraptor mascot.

Dropbox said it added over 300 employees to the company in 2013, and it showed.
Then last month, Dropbox raised $250 million (with another $150 million possibly in the works), giving it a total of $500 million with which to fuel expansion into the enterprise. Selling to Fortune 500 companies requires a big sales force that likely wouldn’t fit in its current digs.
Sales could be one department housed in the new 333 Brannan location. However, sources close to the company say Dropbox hasn’t decided exactly what part or parts of the team will be booted from the headquarters into its nearby annex.

Dropbox will control all 187,000 square feet of the William McDonough-designed office still under construction at 333 Brannan. It’s a six-story brick and concrete building with the open floor plans preferred by startups, plus a rooftop garden and deck. It will feature a rainwater reclamation system that could cut water usage by 45 percent and energy usage by 26 percent. The location is about a 15-minute walk from BART and a 10-minute walk from Caltrain for employees commuting via public transportation.

Keeping its offices in the city might give Dropbox better luck in some areas of recruiting. Many tech giants choose to build massive campuses in the South Bay then run controversial shuttle buses back and forth from San Francisco so employees can live in the city. But Dropbox’s youthful company culture likely attracts people with little interest of living in social dead-zones like Mountain View and Menlo Park where Google and Facebook have their plots. This way, energetic Dropboxers can live and work in SF (if they’re willing to pay the rent).
By nearly doubling its total office space, Dropbox should have room to house at least another year or two of swift growth. And plenty of dinosaurs.

Twitter Tips & Tricks

Posted by Unknown Jumat, 24 Januari 2014 0 komentar

Twitter is a giant digital cafe. It's the same landscape as a party with loose rules and no specific criteria. Some of us are smart, courteous, and know how to interact appropriately, hoping people think well of us and want to communicate more often. Others abuse the situation and don't generate positive attention.

It's up to you to act accordingly and appropriately. The tweets you compose; the photos you take, filter and share; and the videos you upload all manifest themselves as part of your own media. The longer you spend online, the bigger media presence you'll have. So it's important to remember to "think before you speak," or, in this case, tweet. The following guidelines will help:

Don't say anything you wouldn't say to your mother.
Be nice! This is a public stage, and the spotlight is on you and your company. Being friendly and helpful goes a long way toward building your brand and reputation.
Don't be a showoff and tout how great you are; a little humility does wonders when building a brand.
Don't sell or pitch. Social media is for connecting, building relationships, networking and creating brand awareness. Coming off as a snake-oil salesman is a huge turnoff.
Don't automate. Social media is a two-way conversation, and automated posting is cold. Plus, you want to respond to all posts quickly--so unless someone is actively manning the battle station, your response times to your followers suffer.
Don't get angry. If someone is complaining or being rude, reply professionally and never sink to their level.
Do care. Take a minute out of your busy schedule to find out more about the lives of those who follow you. These are the people who can become your brand champions, so show them you care about who they are and what they do.
Give back! If you've had great success via social media and people are sharing your brand, message and products or services, then give back! A little thank-you discount, prize or giveaway can go a long way and snowball, as recipients spread the word to their followers and friends. Social media users sharing your content and brand is absolutely invaluable, so show them you appreciate it and don't take it for granted.

Before you post, always ask yourself:

Do I really want my followers to read this?
Will this increase my following?
Am I providing something of value, whether it's newsworthy or a joke?
Will it help my brand?
Can it hurt me?
Can it damage my business or brand's reputation?
Am I insulting someone or a group of people?
Am I spreading rumors, lies or gossip that can damage someone's reputation?

Social Media Dos and Don'ts

Do

Be empathetic.
Be tasteful.
Engage with followers regularly--and quickly.
Inspire with motivational saying and quotes.
Educate by solving people's problems and by sharing your knowledge and expertise.
Delight with entertaining comments or jokes.
Respond in a timely manner, lest your followers feel ignored.

Don't

Spam followers.

Spread rumors or lies.

Talk without listening. If you're putting yourself out there, expect responses, replies, praise, criticism and other feedback. Pay attention to what others are saying to you.

Lash out. Stop and think before you post or tweet, or have a checks and balances system so that anything going out is reviewed or scanned by at least a second pair of eyes.

Be rude, crass or vulgar.

Fire someone without revoking access to your social media accounts.

Exploit a tragedy or even bad news. It's offensive and in abysmally bad taste. And you're liable to lose even your most loyal followers.

Apple to Launch a bigger version of iPhone

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Aching for a bigger iPhone? You may be in luck, because if The Wall Street Journal's latest report is correct, Apple is planning to launch two iPhones with a larger screen this year.
According to the report, one bigger iPhone will have a 4.5-inch display, while the other will have a screen "bigger than 5 inches".
Exact dates when these devices might hit the market are absent, but the 4.5-inch phone is reportedly near mass production, while the bigger device is still in "preliminary development."
Contrary to a rumor we've heard in Nov. 2013, this report claims neither device will have a curved screen.

Both devices will be made of metal, and — the boldest claim in the report — Apple will stop producing plastic phones, such as the iPhone 5C.
Rumors have claimed that the iPhone 5C has not been selling well, but since Apple lumps all its iPhone sales into one big number, we don't know whether they are true. Even if they are, giving up on the iPhone 5C one year after its inception would be uncharacteristic of Apple, which typically keeps an iPhone model in stores for two years or more.

Facebook to Launch Mobile Ad Network

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 23 Januari 2014 0 komentar

Facebook took a step towards offering a mobile ad network on Wednesday with a small test running Facebook ads in mobile apps from other publishers.
"Our aim is to demonstrate even greater reach with the same power of Facebook targeting for advertisers both on and off Facebook," the company wrote in a blog post. "While we have run similar tests in the past, this current test is more like a mobile ad network in that we are working directly with a small number of advertisers and publishers rather than an outside ad-serving platform."
For the user, there won't be a noticeable difference. An ad you see on a third-party app may have been presented by Facebook, but it would look the same. In theory, advertisers are getting the benefit of Facebook's deep targeting. If you want to reach 26-year-old men from Toledo, Ohio, who are into beach volleyball, Facebook will help you do that, via Facebook and now, through other mobile apps as well. Which apps? Facebook declined to say.
Facebook first tested a mobile ad network in late 2012, but pulled it after three months. The company resumed the effort in September 2013. As the blog post notes, the difference this time is that Facebook is taking a direct role in connecting advertisers and publishers. Previously, Facebook had sold ads through existing ad-serving networks and publishers.

WhatsApp Active Users Double in Less than a year

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 22 Januari 2014 0 komentar

WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum announced on Monday that the cross-platform mobile-messaging app now has 430 million active users. That's up from 200 million in April 2013, which means its user base has more than doubled in less than a year.
The number of messages sent and received via WhatsApp has increased, as well, from 20 billion per day to 50 billion per day.
Private messaging is becoming increasingly popular of late, especially for social networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat — and yet, it seems WhatsApp continues to hold its own.
Statista's chart, above, shows the progression of WhatsApp's active user base and daily-message volume over the past 10 months.

Facebook to launch News Reader app

Posted by Unknown Rabu, 15 Januari 2014 0 komentar

For quite sometime now there have been reports that Facebook is preparing a Flipboard-like news reader app, and now a new report has emerged claiming that the company may launch its Flipboard-style newsreader by the end of this month. Facebook is likely to name its new product "Paper", reports Re/code citing a source familiar with the matter.

"Paper and Flipboard share a number of similarities, according to this person (source). Both essentially act as aggregators of rich media content, displaying a mix of news stories from publications like the New York Times or the Washington Post, along with status updates from Facebook users - all in a visually stunning "paper-like" format hearkening back to a time before digital devices," says the report. Reportedly, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has also been directly involved in the project.

The Wall Street Journal broke this news last year. Well, it is not going to be easy for Facebook to compete with Flipboard, which currently has over 50 million users. Flipbaord lets readers customise their own content around topics, events, and personal interests that can be shared with others.

Linkedin adds Voluteer Job Opportunities

Posted by Unknown 0 komentar

Linkedin added a new Volunteer Marketplace on Wednesday, allowing users to search for volunteer opportunities that require particular skill sets like open board seats at non-profits.

The social network will launch the marketplace with 500 postings on Wednesday, and plans to add more in the coming weeks. Organizations can post a volunteer opening or board seat the same way they would post a job.

The search page is not available in the site's navigation bar, and the only way users can visit the marketplace from LinkedIn.com is by clicking on volunteer opportunities that will appear in the "Jobs You May Be Interested In" tab along the right rail. Users who receive emails highlighting "Job You May Be Interested In" will also receive volunteer openings. Otherwise, interested users will have to visit the marketplace directly by using the web addresses: volunteer.LinkedIn.com and nonprofit.LinkedIn.com.
