Technologies du Marketing The Top 16 Most Outstanding Lenses on the Market DSLR lenses Unlike most photographers that buy either Canon or Nikon and stick with it, I switched from Canon to Nikon about a year ago.

Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S Lens – This lens is outstanding in every way. Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Lens – This is NOT the 50mm f/1.8D that we have seen for years. Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8 ED AF-S Lens - For professional portrait photographers, this is probably the most popular portrait lens on the planet. Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II Lens – Many portrait photographers prefer shorter focal length primes for most portraits, but this lens is my personal go-to choice for portraits. Best Canon Lenses

10 Reasons Why You Should Upgrade Your LinkedIn Account Do you have a free LinkedIn account? Have you considered upgrading to a paid account? Wondering if it’s worth it? There are several options to choose from. In this article, we cover what you actually get for your money and how you might use some of the enhanced features. Let’s take each area of the business upgrade in turn and run through it. Here's what you get for your money, but what does it all mean and how are you going to make use of it? #1: InMails per Month An InMail is simply an email that can be sent to anyone on LinkedIn, whether they’re in your network or not.

Webmarketing Junkie Article Companies that post content on their Facebook pages outside normal business hours see engagement rates that are 20% higher than average, according to new data from Facebook marketing software company Buddy Media. Buddy Media analyzed the Facebook posts and engagement rates for more than 200 clients over the course of two weeks in January and February 2011. The agency measured engagement by looking at comments and “likes,” and factored in fan base size. According to Buddy Media, 60% of posts were published between 10am and 4pm. However, many Facebook users prefer to log on to the site before or after work, and their engagement with company posts is higher during those times. By timing content to post when consumers are poised to be on Facebook, companies have a greater chance of being seen in a fan’s newsfeed. But that isn’t to say that marketers should only post on those days. While the timing of posts often determines how engaged fans will be, their content is also important.

Social Media and the Need for New Business Models Brian Solis inShare730 Who owns social media? Is it marketing, customer service, public relations? Looking at a recent study conducted by the Pivot Conference, the top four departments where social media is currently run are as follows: 1. Perhaps, it’s the wrong question to ask however. Who owns the customer relationship? The short answer is everyone. If that is the case, then examining how social media is run today is not at all how businesses should think about it tomorrow. Businesses tend to have a single or narrow view of the customer and as we’re learning, they’re connecting with one another and sharing experiences that transform their roles from prospect to advocate to adversary to influencer and everything in between. Social media is not about conversations on Twitter and Facebook nor check-ins on Foursquare or Places, or flipped videos on YouTube. We can blame it on process, hierarchy, ignorance, lack of budget and anything and everything standing in our way. Someone has to do it.

A nos vies numériques Depuis que le jeune Palmer Luckey a sorti l’Oculus Rift du garage dans lequel il a mis au point son premier prototype, la réalité virtuelle, sujet déjà ancien mais réservé au grands groupes d’armement et d’automobile (le ticket d’entrée excédait 100k pour le matériel), a trouvé une seconde jeunesse. De quoi parle-t-on? La réalité virtuelle, c’est la capacité de s’immerger dans un autre réel, imaginaire ou pas, que celui dans lequel on se trouve physiquement. Muni d’un casque qui occulte la vision de l’environnement réel, l’utilisateur voit ce monde imaginaire prendre vie autour de lui. Les mouvements de sa tête, dans toutes les directions, sont capturés par un accéléromètre et servent à calculer quelle est l’image que l’utilisateur devrait voir dans la position dans laquelle sa tête se trouve. Des investissements importants qui tirent le secteur Depuis le rachat spectaculaire d’Oculus par Facebook (2 milliards de dollars!) Réalité virtuelle et réalité ubiquitaire* L’opportunité du contenu

While Twitter only accounts for 7% of social sign-ins on websites, it is used to share 32% of content that users distribute via a social network.
