5 big changes coming to FACEBOOK

5 big changes coming to FACEBOOK Just over a month ago, Facebook rolled out a new homepage redesign.

Google Wave

Elizabeth — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 22:47:00 +0000

Christmas came early this year. I woke up this morning to the buzzing of my phone receiving far too many shopping emails (Cyber Monday rears its head). Amid the clutter stood my coveted Google Wave Invitation.

I don’t know anyone who had received the golden ticket and could invite me, so I went straight to the source and requested one. However, that was weeks ago, soon after its initial launch. Perhaps Google has been reading my blog posts about them (unlikely). It is here at last. No matter the reason for my new invitation, Google Wave is now MINE.

I gleefully accepted the invitation and tried to start waving. But this is all the preview gives you:

(Click image to see full sized) A whole lot of nothing.

All the reading that I have done about Google Wave actually suggests using a guide. There are many available online (quite remarkable given it was launched on September 30th). Mashable (a blog I recommend you all read daily) has a pretty comprehensive post for those of us not ready to pour through a textbook.

Anyway, I guess you all know what I will be spending the rest of the afternoon working on… I’ll keep you updated on my progress, don’t you worry.

P.S. Waving is the verb of Google Wave, who knew.

Answers to 5 most asked social media questions

Julia Kinslow — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 05:13:39 +0000

Whether I’m consulting with business clients or conducting social media workshops, the same questions come up repeatedly. They are great questions and need to be understood before engaging in social media. I’ve attempted to answer 5 most asked questions, but in reality, I’ve only scratched the surface.

Does my company need social media marketing?
This question is a favorite of mine and one I’d like you to consider after reviewing the video below. Social media is not about what someone had for breakfast. For those of you harder to convince, be sure to watch through to the end.

Okay, I’m convinced. Now where do I begin?
Many start with tactics. They add their business profile on LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter and then ask themselves – now what? Or, worse still, they use the social networks to advertise their products without a full understanding of why they are there. What must be in place before implementing tools is a social media strategy. Here are 5 things to consider when building your strategy:

Research and listen – where do your existing and potential customers spend their time? (use industry keywords in Google Blog Search, Twitter Search or SiteVolume) What is being said about your company? (look at Google Alerts, SocialMention or Socialcast).

Identify goals – what is it you want to achieve with social media? To increase brand awareness, leads, conversion rates, etc? With an eye toward adding value, understand what your target audience cares about and wants to read, and publish and distribute content they need.

Begin a conversation – interaction is key to building trust, credibility and action among your prospective customers. (Conversation does not mean advertising to your audience as discussed in my previous post Using social media: how will you be human?) It does mean engaging with them. And, it means providing them with information they want, asking what they think and as a result, watching the volume of your fans and followers increase.

Define targets – interacting with your online community, becoming one of them, and writing compelling content, will help you gain momentum with prospects by allowing them to see how your business can help them. Conversion is an organic result of establishing trust online and people buy products from those they trust. Be sure to measure your progress using tools such as Google Analytics. And, as with any good strategy, identify weak areas and redefine your targets where necessary.

Establish parameters — as businesses using social media grows, so does the need to have a policy in place to help employees understand their role. The policy should set expectations of employee participation in both business and personal accounts which align with your company’s goals. Equally important is to have a crisis management policy to allow you to react quickly to a negative situation online about your company or brand.

What should I talk about?
Knowing what to say is probably one of the hardest things for those new to social media. Many businesses feel if they don’t make products, offer discount coupons, or are not a B2C company, they don’t have a real need for social media. But the fact is, no matter what product or service your company offers, social media provides a venue to engage with your existing and potential customers. It puts the control of improvements to products and services in the hands of your customers. Giving up control is tough, but critical for businesses to succeed with social media marketing. In return, businesses gain customer loyalty and trust through thought leadership without the direct sales pitch.

Still not sure what to say? Check out Alltop. It is a digital magazine rack where information is collected from different sources to help readers find sites of interest. It displays information you need on one aggregated page, listing the top 5 stories. To understand how it can be useful to you, read Eight Ways Marketers Can Benefit Using Alltop or How Business Can Benefit From Using Alltop. Alltop gives you industry news to share with your audience and saves you time. Which brings us to the next question …

How much time should I spend on social media marketing?
In his recent post How Much Time Should I Spend On Social Media #1 blogger and social media guru Chris Brogan talks about best practices for social media management. In a nutshell, he recommends spending about 2 hours a day, divided into chunks of time:

Spend 1/4 of your time ”listening,” finding out what is being said about you, your competitors, your marketplace.

Spend 1/2 of your time communicating to your audience. This is your time to connect with potential customers by making comments and replying to questions.

1/4 in creating content. Whether you’re blogging, writing e-newsletters or online articles, updating content is how you get found on search engines. (SEO is driven by updated content.)

Does 2 hours a day seem like too much time to dedicate to social media marketing? Consider the time and money you invest in SEO efforts, cold calling, conference calling, advertising campaigns, e-newsletters and customer visits. Social media reaches beyond territories, offering time-saving tools and an increase to Web site traffic at a fraction of the cost of other marketing methods.

How do I measure ROI?
Maybe you’re already convinced why you should use social media marketing. One question remaining is likely to be: How do I measure my return on investment? How do I sell it to company stakeholders? The ROI question is probably the biggest obstacle when trying to get buy-in from senior executives. Measuring social media ROI and its effect on the bottom line is still a challenge for even the best marketers. In Dirk Shaw’s recent post Moving beyond social media metrics to business outcomes he talks about early social media metrics having a loose tie to business goals, which raised the question whether social media could do anything for business. In a later post How do you report social media success? he examines how social media activity impacts business outcomes, which is key to achieving executive sponsorship. Also, How to Measure Social Media ROI for Business a post from Mashable offers tips on qualitative and quantitative measurement. And, if you still want more, read 6 Must Read Posts about the ROI of Social Media.

Social media strategy and ROI have yet to be clearly defined. As social media continues to grow and change, networks like Facebook and Twitter are looking for ways to monetize their own businesses, and will continue their efforts in making social media marketing more appealing (and profitable) for business leaders who will help keep them afloat.

These are the 5 most asked questions I get. What other social media questions do you think should be included?

Profils et web social

enkerli — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 18:42:05 +0000

J’écrivais ce message à un ami, à propos de mon expérience sur le site xkcd.com.

BD de xkcd
C’est sur xkcd, mais ça pourrait être ailleurs. C’est rien de très spécial, mais ça me donne à penser à ce qu’est le vrai web social, en ce moment. Surtout si on sort de la niche geek.

Donc…

Je vois le dernier xkcd.

Ça me fait réagir.

Je veux répondre.

Je sais qu’il y a des forums pour accompagner ces bande dessinées.

Je vais sur le forum lié à celui-ci (déjà quelques clics et il fallait que je connaisse l’existence de tout ça).

J’appuie sur Post Reply

Ça me demande de m’identifier.

Comme je crois avoir déjà envoyé quelque-chose là, je me branche avec mon username habituel.

Ah, mauvais mdp.

Je fais “forget pw”.

Oups! J’avais pas de compte avec mon adresse gmail (faut que ça soit la bonne combinaison donc, si je me rappelle pas de mon username, ça marche pas).

Je me crée un nouveau profil.

Le captcha est illisible, ça me prend plusieurs tentatives.

Faut que j’aille sur mon compte gmail activer mon compte sur les forums xkcd.

Une fois que c’est fait, je me retrouve à la page d’accueil des forums (pas à la page où j’essaie d’envoyer ma réponse).

Je retrouve la page que je voulais.

J’appuie sur Post Reply.

J’écris ma réponse et je l’envoie.

Évidemment, mon profil est vierge.

Je vais modifier ça.

Ça commence par mon numéro ICQ?? Eh bé!

Plus bas, je vois des champs pour Website et Interests. Je remplis ça rapidement, en pensant au plus générique.

Il y a aussi ma date de fête. Pas moyen de contrôler qui la voit, etc. Je l’ajoute pas.

J’enregistre les autres modifications.

Et j’essaie de changer mon avatar.

Il y a pas de bouton pour uploader.

Ça passe par une Gallery, mais il y a rien dedans.

Je laisse tomber, même si je sais bien que les geeks de xkcd sont du genre à rire de toi si t’as un profil générique.

Je quitte le site un peu frustré, sans vraiment avoir l’impression que je vais pouvoir commencer une conversation là-dessus.

Deuxième scénario.

J’arrive sur un site qui supporte Disqus (par exemple Mashable).

Je peux envoyer un commentaire en tant que guest.

You are commenting as a Guest. Optional: Login below.

Donc, si je veux seulement laisser un commentaire anonyme, c’est tout ce que j’ai à faire. «Merci, bonsoir!»

Même sans me brancher, je peux faire des choses avec les commentaires déjà présents (Like, Reply).

Mais je peux aussi me brancher avec mes profils Disqus, Facebook (avec Facebook Connect), ou Twitter (avec OAuth). Dans chaque cas, si je suis déjà branché sur ce compte dans mon browser, j’ai juste à cliquer pour autoriser l’accès. Même si je suis pas déjà branché, je peux m’identifier directement sur chaque site.

Après l’identification, je reviens tout de suite à la page où j’étais. Mon avatar s’affiche mais je peux le changer. Je peux aussi changer mon username, mais il est déjà inscrit. Mon avatar et mon nom sont liés à un profil assez complet, qui inclut mes derniers commentaires sur des sites qui supportent Disqus.

Sur le site où je commente, il y a une petite boîte avec un résumé de mon profil qui inclut un décompte des commentaires, le nombre de commentaires que j’ai indiqué comme “likes” et des points que j’ai acquis.

Je peux envoyer mon commentaire sur Twitter et sur Facebook en même temps. Je peux décider de recevoir des notices par courriel ou de m’abonner au RSS. Je vois tout de suite quel compte j’utilise (Post as…) et je peux changer de compte si je veux (personnel et pro, par exemple). Une fois que j’envoie mon commentaire, les autres visiteurs du site peuvent voir plus d’infos sur moi en passant avec la souris au-dessus de mon avatar et ils peuvent cliquer et avoir un dialogue modal avec un résumé de mon compte. Ce résumé mène évidemment sur le profil complet. Depuis le profil complet, les gens peuvent suivre mes commentaires ou explorer divers aspects de ma vie en-ligne.

Suite à mon commentaire, les gens peuvent aussi me répondre directement, de façon anonyme ou identifiée.

J’ai donc un profil riche en deux clics, avec beaucoup de flexibilité. Il y a donc un contexte personnel à mon commentaire.

L’aspect social est intéressant. Mon commentaire est identifié par mon profil et je suis identifié par mes commentaires. D’ailleurs, la plupart des avatars sur Mashable sont des vraies photos (ou des avatars génériques) alors que sur le forum xkcd, c’est surtout des avatars «conceptuels».

Ce que xkcd propose est plus proche du “in-group”. Les initiés ont déjà leurs comptes. Ils sont “in the know”. Ils ont certaines habitudes. Leurs signatures sont reconnaissables. L’auteur de la bd connaît probablement leurs profils de ses «vrais fans». Ces gens peuvent citer à peu près tout ce qui a été envoyé sur le site. D’ailleurs, ils comprennent toutes les blagues de la bd, ils ont les références nécessaires pour savoir de quoi l’auteur parle, que ça soit de mathématiques ou de science-fiction. Ils sont les premiers à envoyer des commentaires parce qu’ils savent à quel moment une nouvelle bd est envoyée. En fait, aller regarder une bd xkcd, ça fait partie de leur routine. Ils sont morts de rire à l’idée que certains ne savent pas encore que les vraies blagues xkcd sont dans les alt-text. Ils se font des inside-jokes en tout genre et se connaissent entre eux.

En ce sens, ils forment une «communauté». C’est un groupe ouvert mais il y a plusieurs processus d’exclusion qui sont en action à tout moment. Pour être accepté dans ce genre de groupe, faut faire sa place.

Les sites qui utilisent Disqus ont une toute autre structure. N’importe qui peut commenter n’importe quoi, même de façon anonyme. Ceux qui ne sont pas anonymes utilisent un profil consolidé, qui dit «voici ma persona de web social» (s’ils en ont plusieurs, ils présentent le masque qu’ils veulent présenter). En envoyant un commentaire sur Mashable, par exemple, ils ne s’impliquent pas vraiment. Ils construisent surtout leurs identités, regroupent leurs idées sur divers sujets. Ça se rapproche malgré tout de la notion de self-branding qui préoccupe tant des gens comme Isabelle Lopez, même si les réactions sont fortes contre l’idée de “branding”, dans la sphère du web social montréalaisn (la YulMob). Les conversations entre utilisateurs peuvent avoir lieu à travers divers sites. «Ah oui, je me rappelle d’elle sur tel autre blogue, je la suis déjà sur Twitter…». Il n’y a pas d’allégeance spécifique au site.

Bien sûr, il peut bien y avoir des initiées sur un site particulier. Surtout si les gens commencent à se connaître et qu’ils répondent aux commentaires de l’un et de l’autre. En fait, il peut même y avoir une petite «cabale» qui décide de prendre possession des commentaires sur certains sites. Mais, contrairement à xkcd (ou 4chan!), ça se passe en plein jour, mis en évidence. C’est plus “mainstream”.

Ok, je divague peut-être un peu. Mais ça me remet dans le bain, avant de faire mes présentations Yul- et IdentityCamp.

peoplesound per iPhone permette di eseguire la maggior parte delle operazioni di gestione del mobile social network – dalla registrazione all’invio degli status update arricchiti con foto e video generati dall’iPhone. L’applicazione integra la rubrica del proprio iPhone in modo estremamente efficiente, e grazie a un algoritmo “intelligente”, aiuta l’utente nell’individuazione e nella selezione dei suoi migliori amici, quelli con cui comunica più spesso attraverso il telefonino e li rende immediatamente partecipi della propria esperienza di social networking.

peoplesound per iPhone è presente all’interno dell’Application Store Apple, e può essere scaricata gratuitamente sia accedendo in modo diretto con l’iPhone sia usando iTunes su un Mac o un PC Windows. L’indirizzo del mobile social network, dove si trovano tutte le informazioni necessarie per registrarsi, è http://iphone.peoplesound.com.

IKEA: Reinvention at it's best

peteyoungminkim — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:31:40 +0000

Some of the most creative inventions of all time have come from simply re-imagining an existing product and using it in new and inventive ways. One of the best examples in history is Arm & Hammer’s use of their baking soda product as a refrigerator deodorizer. After the war when housewives were introduced to the concept of pre-made and instant baking products, baking from scratch lost a lot of business, so in order to prevent going bankrupt, Arm & Hammer had to reinvent the way that consumers used their product.

Recently IKEA (one of my favorite places to buy furniture until I can afford the higher end merchandise) developed a Facebook campaign that reinvented the way companies approached social media campaigns. When everyone else is using a simple fan page and widgets, IKEA decided to use one of the most popular features of Facebook to bring user interaction.

The only thing I would say is that after visiting the Ikea corporate page, I would kind of hope they would have done some coverage over this campaign.

Why @ShitMyDadSays and Texts From Last Night Should Not Be TV Shows

Rich Pulvino — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:31:36 +0000

If there is one thing that the execs in Hollywood do not understand, it is the ability to leave “well-enough” alone. Example: Any of the numerous novels, graphic novels, comic books, novellas that were not properly translated from the original texts to the big screen.

Now, Hollywood wants to create two television shows from two online sources that contain a very minimal amount of text: The formerly hilarious Web site “Texts From Last Night” and the Twitter handle, @ShitMyDadSays.   Unfortunately, I feel like I can already end in sight for these two shows that helped inspire millions of laughs online. I laugh hysterically when I read @ShitMyDadSays on Twitter, and I used to laugh non-stop at “Texts From Last Night,” but it was becoming too apparent that many of the texts were made up, lacking the authenticity that made the Web site so damn funny. While I wish these two shows the best of luck, here are two reasons why I feel they will both struggle:

1) Major television networks. “Texts From Last Night” was picked up by FOX and @ShitMyDadSays was picked up by CBS. Besides the fact that nothing on FOX is funny (Family Guy and The Simpsons have been in a downfall for awhile, and the other comedy shows the network boatss can hardly be considered original humor), these two networks do not have the freedom that is required to appropriately create these two shows. If you have not read “Texts From Last Night,” it is a collection of “real” text messages that friends have sent to one another (a majority of them are sexually and socially vulgar…and hilarious!). No pictures.  Just the texts and the area codes to let the reader know what part of the country the texts came from. So if haven’t taken a look yet, go here. I’ll wait…*several hours later* …addicting isn’t it?

The point is that 99% of those texts contain language and situations that will never be allowed to be broadcasted on any major network. It makes me wonder what kind of the situations the Hollywood writers will come up with in order to format the show into something that is as hilarious and fast-paced as the Web site.

@ShitMyDadSays has a similar situation. The tweets from a 29-year-old who lives with his dad also contain language that will never be able to exist on CBS, which is a shame, because the coarse language gives the tweets that sharp color that makes it even more hilarious.

2) The medium. The reason these two sources are funny is because they leave a lot to the imagination. The texts are never more than a few sentences and the quotes from the man’s dad is kept at 140 characters. This leaves a lot to the reader’s imagination, allowing them to make up their own backstory, and the events that followed the text. Now, the viewer is going to be given a whole plot and revolves around a few sentences. The humor is now in the hands of the Hollywood writers instead of the person who posts the lines and the reader’s imagination.

Well, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens with these shows. I’ll probably watch the first episode or two, and hopefully it’ll actually be funny, but these days I don’t usually hold my breath for television shows.

…and don’t even get me started on the Facebook movie.

What do you think the future holds for these two shows? Good idea? Bad idea? Are you excited for them, or could you care less? Could these shows be successful on a network like HBO where writers have more freedom?

Cheers,

Rich

LinkedIn LinkingIn with Social Media

agear — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:47:12 +0000

With Facebook, Twitter, and other social media growing, changing, and expanding, other sites like LinkedIn have lurked at the edge of our radar.

Until now.

According to mashable.com, LinkedIn is adopting a social media platform, which opens up outside applications’ access to LinkedIn’s data. Yes, connections like these have hatched Farmville and Mafia Wars in Facebook, but LinkedIn’s generally professional feel will likely lend itself to different apps.

TweetDeck will also be launching LinkedIn integration. Finally, LinkedIn will gain a competitive edge with other social media and give journalists and other professionals yet another platform on which to network.
Like anything, people will have to learn how the new LinkedIn updates work and get used to them, hopefully adapting and thriving with the new technology.

It may be delayed, but this upgrade to a not-so-popular website will spell change in the virtual world.

Do you think that these LinkedIn changes will give people even more to do when they surf the Net? How do you think this integration will effect Facebook and Twitter? Do you think these upgrades will push LinkedIn to the forefront, or just give people one more thing to ignore?

'Next year's Twitter? It's Foursquare' by Pete Cashmore

catherinewooten — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:57:38 +0000

We love Pete Cashmore’s insight into the future landscape of social media.

Next year’s Twitter? It’s Foursquare

By Pete Cashmore, Special to CNN, November 19, 2009 1:18 p.m. EST

Editor’s note: Pete Cashmore is founder and CEO of Mashable, a popular blog about social media. He is writing a weekly column about social networking and tech for CNN.com.

London, England (CNN) — As 2009 draws to a close, with Twitter undoubtedly this year’s media darling and Facebook continuing on its path to global domination, you may wonder which social-media service will become tech’s poster boy in 2010.

Among the Web’s early adopter set, the answer is nearly unanimous: Foursquare.

While the technology landscape is ever-changing, I’d argue that Foursquare already has aligned itself to become next year’s mainstream hit.

The Twitter connection

Birthed by the team that brought us the mobile social network Dodgeball (acquired by Google in 2005 and later shuttered), the location-based mobile startup serves a simple purpose: It lets an individual share his or her location with a group of friends.

Foursquare ventures beyond utility, however: It’s a virtual game in which participants earn badges for checking in at various locations; those that check in most become a venue’s “mayor.” By all accounts, this mechanism is as addictive as Twitter, Facebook or checking your e-mail on a BlackBerry.

Originally launched as an iPhone application and seeded by the young early-adopter set in cities such as New York and San Francisco, the site’s founders were able to leap from a ready-made springboard: Twitter.

With users’ “check-ins” being posted to the messaging service, Foursquare was able to gain a foothold in much the same way YouTube built its lead from videos embedded in MySpace pages.

The parallels with Twitter are numerous. As technology early adopter and popular blogger Robert Scoble wrote in September: “Go back three years ago. Twitter was being used by the same crowd that is playing with Foursquare today.”

The similarities don’t stop there: Twitter first took hold at Austin’s South By Southwest festival in 2007; Foursquare made its debut at SXSW 2009. Members of both founding teams have previously built successful social startups; both those startups were sold to Google.

The two companies share investors, too: Union Square Ventures is a backer, while Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey made an angel investment in Foursquare. Other notable investors include the founders of Digg and Delicious, and famed angel investor Ron Conway. Union Square Ventures’ Fred Wilson observed that Foursquare’s first round financing was “among the most competitive early round financings I’ve seen in a long time.”

Foursquare’s power play: Platform for developers, retailers

This week Foursquare debuted the singular piece that launched Twitter into the stratosphere: an API. This application programming interface allows third-party developers to build anything they desire on top of Foursquare’s location-based social network.

It’s been shown time and again that once these ecosystems gain momentum, potential competitors face an arduous task. From Flickr to Google Maps to Twitter and beyond, it’s clear that early critical mass — having enough users and applications to make a service invaluable — sets the stage for a landslide victory.

Google’s Android, entering the mobile platform wars long after the iPhone App Store had served up a veritable smorgasbord of apps to its army of users, is evidence of the chicken-and-egg problem that arises for new competitors: What’s the incentive for users and developers to switch to a smaller, less visible platform once a leader has emerged?

With the launch of its API, Foursquare looks set to capitalize on this “rich get richer” phenomenon before others can make a play. Foursquare is doing more than wooing users and developers, however: It’s also courting local bars and restaurants.

“Foursquare for Businesses” is a platform for retailers wishing to offer special deals to Foursquare users: Check in to frozen desert maker Tasti D-Lite at two venues in New York, for instance, and you’re eligible for a discount.

Competitors abound

Nonetheless, multiple players are vying for victory in the location-based services market. Between Gowalla, Loopt, Brightkite and Google’s Latitude, Foursquare will by no means have an easy ride. While Gowalla debuted an early version at SXSW 2009 alongside Foursquare, both Loopt and Brightkite have a head start.

All of these services, I’d argue, lack the highly addictive game play that appears to have Foursquare users hooked.

Google is undoubtedly the 800-pound gorilla, but the fastidiously numbers-driven search engine has proven time and again that it cannot grasp social-networking dynamics — from Orkut to Friend Connect (its Facebook Connect competitor) to its failure to turn Google Video into a YouTube competitor.

One company may unwittingly squash Foursquare in its infancy: Twitter itself. The very service that propelled Foursquare to prominence is rapidly building out its location-based features, with a location API that directly challenges Foursquare. Twitter already has the critical mass of users and ecosystem of eager developers. If it executes correctly, the service could leave Foursquare in the dust.

In Foursquare’s favor: Young, fast-growing startups such as Twitter often find their engineering teams overstretched simply trying to achieve scale. Twitter has added less than a dozen new features since launch as preventing frequent downtime has become its greatest challenge.

Meanwhile, the overlap in investors means the Twitter-Foursquare relationship is unlikely to turn sour. Foursquare may network its way to the top in 2010 or find itself lost in an increasingly competitive landscape. Early adopters are betting on the former.

Facebook isn't working... now what?

emtolley — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:28:33 +0000

What do you do when Facebook isn’t working? When you get error messages or a system log or, worse, the ever-technical “ooops” report? Well, you can Tweet about it and then watch if it trends. Or Google it to see what the problem is. Or go to Mashable. There, it will assure you that, yes, Facebook is indeed down. It will even helpfully suggest that you hit “refresh” several times to try to revive it. Whew. Glad that’s settled.

Opera 10 – Hot stuff!

sach33 — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 16:01:02 +0000

I haven’t used Opera in a long time. Last time I launched Opera from my desktop was probably around this time last year. It appears that Opera has released a new version. Opera 10. When I first heard of the release I didn’t really expect to see much, I dismissed it foolishly thinking that there would be not much to it other than a few new aesthetics and things like that. During the time of the release I was jam packed with uni work so I really did not get to check it out. So thanks to Stan Schroeder’s post on Mashable I realised I was so .. soooo wrong.

Google Chrome warned me about the Opera installation file being hazardous to my pc when I began downloading the installation file from the Opera website. I decided to ignore that message just this one time and went ahead with the installation.

Launching Opera 10 for the first time, I realised that its much more than it used to be. I remember Opera being a really fast, lightweight browser. But it turns out that Opera 10, whilst still retaining those characteristics, is loaded with loads of new features. Clicky Clicky for the full list of new features.

The new Unite features give you the ability to share your documents, stream music & movies, host websites and chat on your computer straight from the browser. Opera automatically searches for other computers with Opera installed and lets you share these files among them. This is really handy if you want to quickly set up “Homegroup”-like sharing in your network, and yes it works regardless of the OS the computer is running. Unite also lets you dedicate a folder to which other people can upload content to. Of course you have the option to put a password protect the application so that only people you authorize can use this feature.

So far I haven’t had any problems with it. Unlike Chrome, Opera doesn’t seem to slow down my crappy lappy even though i have a gazilion tabs open. Speaking of tabs, hovering over the tab will give you a thumbnail of the tab, much like aero in Windows 7. Also when your copy of Opera is up and running, from the bottom of the toolbar click and drag the tabs toolbar downward from the to see what happens. Thumbs up Opera!

Giving Thanks wwwwY Style

toddliss — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 13:00:58 +0000

It’s that time of year.
“Black Friday” ads are being “leaked” left and right, and every time I turn on the Food Network I see another new recipe for stuffing. Boy do I love Thanksgiving.

I love everything about the holiday; I love the football, the food, the family, the trip home and the sales. It’s my favorite holiday.

This year at wwwwY we’re going to do our own take on a Thanksgiving tradition. The act of “giving thanks” is common, and Devin and I have decided to give thanks to that which we are thankful for this year.

Yes, I am thankful for my friends, thankful for my health and thankful for my wonderful family; but this isn’t that kind of “thanks”. I want to give thanks wwwwY style. Give thanks to those things that I as a member of Gen Y use and appreciate every day, that we may now take for granted.

So here it goes: I am thankful for…

Apple – When I custom ordered my Mac Book Pro two years ago it would be an understatement to say I was excited. I couldn’t wait to ditch windows, its freezing, crashing and slowness. I felt like my personal efficiency would be increased ten-fold. I had no idea how right I would be. My Mac is by far the best computer I have ever used. To be able to have four programs open and not have to worry about the computer crashing, is nice piece of mind to have. It’s sleek, it’s sexy, it’s productivity in a nutshell, it’s a Mac. No wonder why half of all computer owning college students own Macs.

Mashable – I want to dub them the king of social media; the king of the internet; the king of technology… I’ll just call them the king of everything Gen Y. Mashable is one of the most informative, entertaining, cutting edge sites out there. Chances are, if you have any sort of interest in social media, you know and visit Mashable regularly. If you don’t, you should probably crawl out from under your rock and go there now and catch up on what you have been missing. Hats off to the staff at Mashable. Way to be the best source of internet information on the internet.

Tivo/Netflix – I am thankful for my two main forms of consumption of media. I have been a devoted Tivo’er for years. I constantly see others with cable companys’ DVRs and it frankly they just don’t cut it. Tivo is a far simpler and easier product. It makes it so I can watch TV on my own time; and when you’re busy, it’s a great freedom to have. Netflix is another great entertainment service which has become a major player in the entertainment game. In the past couple of years they have really stepped up their service and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves TV and movies.

No longer is Netflix just about the well run home delivery. They have evolved into an instant form of entertainment. With their highly reliable online streaming option you always have the opportunity to watch something good, and they’re always adding new content. Within the last month Netflix has taken their “instant” capabilities to the next level by adding their service to the PS3 and making their other streaming compatible devices much more available. Netflix has done a lot to not only improve their service, but their branding as well. They have done a great job advertising over all sorts of different mediums and been entertaining while doing it.

Commercials that Think Outside the Box – I’m so tired of the same old product based commercial formula: introduce the product, show the product, talk about it’s advantages, and sign off the product. This formula, although effective at times, can be so boring. We’ve seen it a hundred times. I want commercials to SHOW ME SOMETHING. I appreciate when commercials take a risk. Call someone out like Carl’s Junior is calling out McDonalds or Droid called out the iPhone. Make a bold claim like the new salad mix commercials with no dressing necessary, or push the envelope like Reebok. Clutter and overstimulation are something that Gen Y has learned to overcome. Push the envelope and pull us in, you’ll be rewarded.

GPS – I thought Mapquest was an amazing invention, but thats so 2004. Since GPS is easily available and affordable (like on my cell phone), there is no excuse to be lost ever again. With turn-by-turn live directions, I always know where I’m going. This has saved me from more potential headaches than any other product. I would recommend everyone, young and old, get a GPS system – you’ll never get lost and never need a map again. This I am very thankful for

Texting (SMS) – The tried and true method of communication for Gen Y. Texting is the form of communication which became popular because of Gen Y and will stay popular because of Gen Y. It’s our medium. Sometimes I don’t need to have a full phone conversation. Sometimes I need a quick question answered. Sometimes I need to talk to someone when a phone call isn’t appropriate. Text messaging solves all these problems. Gotta love it.

I am a very thankful person, I am very grateful for all I have. To my friends and family I love you all and you are the reason I am who I am today. Thank you for being the most important part of my life. To all the things I mentioned above, thank you for being innovative and making my life a little better and easier.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

O Google Wave e as mudanças no jornalismo

alecduarte — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 08:24:41 +0000

Como o Google Wave está contribuindo para o jornalismo?

Leah Betancurt cita, em bom artigo no Mashable, pelo menos quatro grandes áreas onde já é possível perceber interferências do produto, saudado como uma grande plataforma colaborativa _e, de fato, um instrumento interessante para agregar sua audiência num espaço público.

1. Para engajar o público e gerar mais participação;
2. Como “praças públicas”, ou Ágoras modernas;
3. No planejamento de novas ferramentas para as redações;
4. Para incentivar a criação de novas ondas por meio de insights em blogs;

No Brasil, a revista Época foi o primeiro veículo do mainstream a criar um Wave público. A descrição do produto vai bem ao encontro do que citou Betancourt.

ATUALIZAÇÃO: A Dora Matos, nos comentários, mostra que o Guardian também já abriu o olho para a novidade. E Sérgio Lüdtke, o comandante de Época On-line e cabeça por trás do Wave do veículo, responde ao meu chamamento e nos conta a quantas anda a experiência por lá.
