Twitter is a Social Media Marketing Success but Avoid Committing the Same Error that the NY Times Did

Twitter has been discovered and is being used by many businesses and individuals as a successful social media marketing tool. Even US President Barrack Obama is on Tweeter. In fact, Twitter was used heavily in Barrack Obama’s presidential campaign. Popular TV host Oprah Winfrey joined Twitter in January 2009. The New York Times has just appointed a social media editor, Jennifer Preston, and she promptly joined Twitter, sending out her first tweet on May 26.

It’s so easy. Anyone can register an account. You can then click to “follow” other Tweeters and, hopefully, gain a large following, too. You can read the messages sent out, called “tweets”, by anyone you choose to follow but you can only send messages to those who follow you.

Tweets are limited to 140 characters. Go over and your message will be cut. This includes prefixes. Among the prefixes used are “@” followed by the the person’s Tweeter username when replying to someone, or “RT@” followed by the source’s username when reposting a tweet, much like reposting a blog entry with a link back to the source. You can use the services of URL shorteners such as tinyurl.com or bit.ly to transform long addresses you can then use in your tweets.

This is where you have to be very careful. The new NY Times social media editor, Jennifer Preston, sent out an RT on May 26 but she forgot to count her tweet characters carefully. As a result, her tweet was cut and the resulting address she sent out led to Ebay instead to her intended article, “10 Golden Rules on Social Media.” So count your characters before you send out your tweet.

There are so many ways you can use Twitter to market your site. You can tweet links to your articles, making sure, of course, that your readers will find them useful. Really good articles will most probably earn RTs, spreading the word further and resulting in more visitors landing on your pages. If you have a good web site with rich content, it will deserve many return visits.

You can also use Twitter to request and gather feedback about your site. If you have developed a good relationship with others in the Twitter community, you will surely get a lot of helpful inputs.

Twitter can also serve as a bulletin board of sorts where you can make announcements about upates in your site or your products and services. Since your tweets are only sent out to your followers, it is not considered spam.

Idaho Investment Property Holds Its Ground in These Uncertain Times

It seems that every time a person watches the latest news reports on real estate in the U.S. the news is bad. The fact of the matter, is that the entire U.S. real estate market has not gone to hell in a hand basket as the news reporters would like to have you believe.

Just as some market areas have taken a hit worse then the national average, so too have certain market areas fared better. In fact, some market areas have thrived due to business as well as demographic realities that prevail in those certain areas.

One of those real estate markets is Manhattan commercial real estate, that is in fact booming right now. Still one more real estate market niche is Idaho investment property, with some areas such as the greater Boise area doing better than others.

In fact, during this last year while markets across the U.S. slid in a steady decline, the greater Boise Idaho showed an average 12% appreciation on real estate investments. The biggest reason for the growth in the greater Boise area and Idaho in general, is due to the influx of retiring baby bloomers who have targeted Idaho as prime retirement country.

Cool-to-mild climate and plenty of elbow room along with a relatively low cost of living are just a few of the things that make the Idaho investment property market a viable alternative to other areas of the country. Still one other factor is stability in its lower yet far more consistent anual land and home appreciation figures that don’t suffer from the downward adjustments that so many other many market areas tend to do.

All across the U.S. people are now finding out the hard way that excessive appreciation in market areas is great until they get stuck in an adjustment period in a home that they can’t sell that is losing its value as each day passes.

New Battery Promises Five Times More Energy

New battery promises five times more energy

Scientists around the world are currently working on techniques for efficient, lightweight and durable batteries. Two researchers from Rome have crossed two technologies into a new type of battery that promises a much higher energy density.

The new battery technology will be suitable for electric cars. Source: AP

BERLIN. Tablet PCs, mobile phones, electric cars – more and more applications need batteries for power. They should be easy to deliver more power and last a long time. The development of such power memory researchers are working around the world. Two scientists from the University of Rome have found a way to build durable and powerful batteries, which are also suitable for electric cars.

These have combined Bruno Scrosati, and Yusef Hassoun, the advantages of a lithium-ion batteries and a lithium-sulfur batteries. Although the latter has a higher energy density than lithium-ion battery. The problem is that its electrodes are resolved with time.

In addition to electrodes, which consist of a metal such as lithium, branches, called dendrites, train, can lead to short circuits. To incorporate the electrodes in lithium-ion batteries are not made of metal but of a material, the lithium ions, and can unlock it. Often the graphite.

Combination of two techniques

Scrosati and Hassoun is now combined the two techniques into a tin-sulfur-lithium-ion battery. The negative electrode consists of a composite material of carbon and lithium sulfide, the positive from Zinnnanopartikeln in a carbon shell.

The organic electrolyte solution, the scientists replaced by a lithiumionenhaltige liquid that is trapped in a gel-polymer membrane. Thus, the fluid does not come into contact with the electrodes, which protects the electrodes.

The specific energy of the tin-sulfur lithium-ion battery is five times higher than conventional batteries, the two researchers write in an article in the German journal “Angewandte Chemie”, which is published by the German Chemical Society. The replacement of the liquid electrolyte through the polymer membrane also simplifies the manufacture of the battery and make it safer, the researchers say.

NYT vs. FTC: Is the Times Not Disclosing iPad Advertising?

admin    Web Marketing     Advertising, Disclosing, Ipad, Times

The FTC’s blogging guidelines have drawn a lot of attention—but little if any action by the consumer protection agency. But several bloggers think they’ve found a great opportunity for the commission to step in—or a great opportunity to ridicule the FTC’s guidelines—with Apple’s iPad and the New York Times.

Apparently (as you can see), some iPad ads feature the New York Times website including the paper’s logo. Dan Gillmor, for example, has petitioned the New York Times to reveal whether it’s compensating Apple for the use of its logo—a material connection under the FTC guidelines—while reviewing the iPad in its paper.

Other bloggers, TechDirt reports, point out that the Times and other news outlets may have a vested interest in seeing the iPad succeed, if they can successfully use that platform to build a fee-based content system.

We’re all in favor of radical transparency here, but based on reading the FTC’s guidelines (PDF; see section 255.5 on material connections), I’m not sure this is the test case these bloggers are looking for.

First of all, I can’t really see the New York Times getting a huge boost from just having its logo appear on iPad ads (especially if they’re not paying for this placement—I would like to know the answer to that one). Are consumers really so stupid that they couldn’t figure out that when they say you can browse the web, you can also visit the website of one of the most prominent newspapers in the country? Do we really believe the New York Times (again, one of if not the most prominent, well-known newspapers in the country) is going to get more subscriptions or advertising dollars because they got onto an iPad commercial?

The FTC offers specific examples to help (kinda) interpret their standards. From section 255.5, example 3 (emphasis added):

Assume that during [a] television interview, the tennis player [our iPad] is wearing clothes bearing the insignia of an athletic wear company with whom she also has an endorsement contract [using the logo of the NYT]. Although this contract requires that she wear the company’s clothes not only on the court but also in public appearances, when possible, she does not mention them or the company during her appearance on the show. No disclosure is required because no representation is being made about the clothes in this context.

The iPad commercials make no representation about the New York Times, they just display the website. If the NYT is paying to get onto an iPad commercial, they’re not paying for nor receiving an endorsement or any representation (other than visual).

The other issue of the NYT’s reviews of the iPad is a bit trickier. But the general rule goes: if you receive a free product or monetary compensation for a review, you need to disclose it. I assume the NYT reviewers did receive free iPads for review, and that certainly makes it easier to give a glowing review (even if they’re used to getting the latest greatest gadgets for free). But if the New York Times is paying Apple for ad placement, the money is flowing the wrong way.

I’m sure they do hope the iPad will reverse their flagging fortunes, but is that going to change how they review the product (but apparently not the NYT’s David Pogue: “There’s an e-book reader app, but it’s not going to rescue the newspaper and book industries (sorry, media pundits).”). But frankly, that’s a bit more tenuous of a motivation than something as easily measurable as money.

What do you think? Is this the way to demonstrate the absurdity of the FTC guidelines? Or does this just not fit the bill?

HTC and the Coming Times

admin    Google's Nexus One     coming, Times

2010 is looking like a very strong year for the Google Android operating system, and no other mobile phone manufacturer is on top of the game like HTC. Google has been busy working with HTC on the much-anticipated Nexus One mobile phone and HTC has an HTC-branded line of Android smart phones coming as well.

While many people may not realize, the HTC Corporation has been playing a very important role in the mobile phone industry. Despite not being one of the top three mobile phone manufacturers, HTC has remained an integral part of many mobile technology milestones.

Working With Microsoft

The HTC Corporation started out as the “High Tech Computer Corporation” and has been in operation since 1997. Despite its many years in the industry, the company remained rather stagnant until they were selected by Microsoft Corporation to develop smart phones that used the Windows Mobile Operating System. The appointment as a “hardware platform development partner” gave HTC the much needed boost to get into the global market. From 2004 to 2005, the company gained 102% increase in sales revenue -totaling 2.2 billion dollars. Business Week called it one of the fastest growing IT companies of 2005.

Until today, HTC still develops mobile phones that use the Windows Mobile operating system. The HTC HD2 uses the latest version of Windows Mobile, version 6.5. It combines the features of WinMo with HTC’s very own Sense user interface which makes using Windows much easier. For 2010, HTC has the Photon, Trophy and the Tera mobile phones. The Photon and the Trophy use capacitive touch screens and the Tera uses a resistive touch screen. All three phones make use of the HTC TouchFlo 3D user interface.

HTC and Google

Windows Mobile is not the platform that HTC has strong ties to. In fact, despite the fact that it was Microsoft that initially helped the Taiwanese company grow, it is with Google whom they are now starting to dominate the mobile phone market. Without a doubt, the Google Android operating system is the most celebrated mobile OS available.

Since early on, HTC has been part of the Open Handset Alliance –a 50 company strong business alliance that focuses on developing mobile technology-based open standards. The Google Android is the main product of the OHA and all companies help in the continued evolution of the operating system. HTC has been a very active participant in the alliance; it was the Taiwanese company that made the very first Android mobile phone available for the market, the HTC DREAM (better known as the T-Mobile G1). Since the G1’s launch in 2008 until December of 2009, HTC has continuously been manufacturing high-profile Android devices such as the Hero.

More Androids to Come

Sometime around late November, a portion HTC’s 2010 mobile phone line up was leaked to the public. The leak revealed the three above mentioned WinMo phones, and five high-end Google Android devices that promise some of the best hardware to be seen in an Android yet. HTC will also be releasing an updated Hero with a physical keyboard named the Espresso. Of course, the biggest news of all is the fact that HTC will be manufacturing the Google phone, the HTC Nexus One.
