Chelsea Aures #Social4Good Presentation Here is a #social4good presentation brought to you by @chelseaaures @ashlyo and @kristinmommers. Tune in December 6th at 11am to follow the live tweets. Picking the Pearltree I’m trying out pearltrees for the first time in #NewhouseSM6. Twitter Apps: First to Worst This week, let’s take a look at Twitter apps for #NewhouseSM6 and @dr4ward. 1. I love the concept of multiple streams on Hootsuite. 2. The fact that TweetDeck is a desktop application is a huge downside for me. 3. The Seesmic interface is absolutely hideous. 4. I was a little surprised to learn that there are different levels of SocialOomph, some free and some paid. 5. TweetGrid looks like it is in its beta version. 6. Monitter seems like it would work great for brands that need to keep track of consumer insights. Overall, I would choose Hootsuite over any other app. How much does Chelsea love Tweet Chats? The answer: Not at all. I do have one positive thing to say about tweet chats.
Ammy Sriyunyongwat (@ammysri) sur Twitter Grace Marie Johnson My first attempt at TweetChat could probably be compared to my first day here at Newhouse: scary and overwhelming. The first issue I found was how unorganized it seemed to be. I understand that there is a moderator available to facilitate the flow of conversation, but at around 20+ people, the moderator became ineffective. My computer continuously flooded with ten to fifteen new tweets at once to answer people’s questions about Klout. Another issue was the intense focus it demanded on participants, which is also tied to the lack of organization. If I could make a recommendation for the overall process, it would be to limit the amount of participants in a chat to a handful at most. The compromise that I found for my confusion and focus was to follow classmate’s retweets from the chat because I knew they were relevant and informative.
The 10th Anniversary of the iPod [Infographic] This October marks the 10th anniversary of the iPod, the device that truly made the modern Apple, going on sale. An infographic takes a look at the evolution of the music player over its first decade.I’ll never forget my first iPod. I’d had a portable CD player and even the first portable MP3 player, the Diamond Rio, but the iPod was a revelation. With the passing of Steve Jobs recently, it makes sense to take a look back at the device that helped bring about Apple’s incredible renaissance in the first decade of the 21st century. The iPod was invented by Tony Fadell. The device eventually debuted with a scroll wheel, becoming yet another iconic Apple design when the iPod finally hit the streets. Even if the concept of the MP3 player wasn’t exactly new and the iPod only worked with Macs, they still flew off store shelves. But the model evolved, first by replacing the scroll wheel with a touch wheel, then adding color, then introducing the iPod Nano and the iPod Shuffle.
Jaclyn Slovic So we’ve been examining all the ways people can measure us based on our social media impact. So I’m happy to turn the tables and give my opinion on social media apps. After testing out six social media management apps, I have decided that HootSuite fits me the best, by far. Here’s why: TweetDeck: Frustrating for the non-savvy-social-media user like me. Seesmic: Eh. SocialOomph: An eyesore- I would have gladly recommended this site for our Graphic Design website renovation project if I could. TweetGrid: Another poorly-designed, impossible to navigate eyesore. Monitter: Easy to use, but few tools and not much to it. But wait! HootSuite: Easy to navigate, easy to customize, easy to look at. So if you’re looking for an app to make your social media interactions easier, HootSuite is the way to go (especially if you are a beginner/intermediate user like me).

Kiersten Wing (KierstenWing) DR4WARD Chey Contiguglia Diving for Pearls This weeks discussion topic in NewhouseSM6 via DR4ward at www.dr4ward.com, was about Pearltrees, the website is www.pearltrees,com if anyone wishes to make an account. I signed up for a Pearltree account and created a Pearltree for the class, check it out here: Try, Try, Try again This week in my Social Media Theory and Practice class, better known as #NewhouseSM6 on www.twitter.com taught by Twitter handle @Dr4Ward, we had to use six different twitter platforms. HootSuite: This ended up being my favorite platform, not because it was the first one I tried, but because after comparing it to the rest it was simply amazing! TweetDeck: This would have to be the runner up to HootSuite because it has almost all the same features, but is missing the ability to make it feel like I am in control. Seesmic: At first I was put off by this platform but ended up messing around a little more with it and it’s growing on me.
Apple's "Let's Talk iPhone" Event, LIVE - John Paczkowski - Mobile More than 15 months after it launched the iPhone 4 at WWDC 2010, Apple is finally ready to unveil its successor. Later this morning, the company will debut its latest iPhone, the fifth in the handset’s history. Though it’s not precisely clear what form it will take, most observers expect the fifth-generation iPhone to boast a dual-core A5 processor, one gigabyte of RAM, an improved camera, a dual-band GSM/CDMA chip that will transform it into a so-called “world phone” that can support multiple wireless network standards, and a rumored virtual personal assistant that arose out of Apple’s 2010 acquisition of Siri. Beyond that, we’re likely to hear more about iCloud (which may steal the show) and its promise of a simple, seamless sync, iOS 5 and its nearly 200 new features, and perhaps an update or two to the company’s long-running iPod line. So join us here for what promises to be an exciting morning. Live Blog 8:50 am: We have arrived on the scene at Apple’s campus in Cupertino, Calif.
