Pixels & Pills — Thoughts on Pharma and Digital Media Is Social Taking over Google? - Articles - Baekdal.com Every person who creates content on the internet wants to know 2 things about their visitors; how many are there (traffic) and where do they come from (referrers). And the way this works is currently changing at an incredible rate. The internet used to be a place that you visited to do or get something, much in the same way as you would 'visit' your TV to watch a show. But we are right now seeing an incredible change in how people use the internet. The internet is more than simply good content. This makes up the Social Web. The Traffic + Referrers of the modern web Many people are now seeing this shift in behavior directly in their statistic. In 2005, Google and the other search engines accounted for 65%. Top 5 referrers last week (baekdal.com): Stumbleupon, Reddit, Delicious, Twitter, Google, Facebook - It's a social world :)- Baekdal on Twitter Note: *** Normal search via Google.com.

The Only Twitter Applications List You'll Ever Need Twitter is a status-updating or microblogging social networking website. It is a breakthrough in social networking because it takes communication into another level. Before, a person can only update his status (eg. what he’s doing, where he is) at a certain time. But with Twitter and it’s mobile integration, he can update his status almost all throughout the day and get in touch with people that matters to him the most. But the functions of Twitter do not stop there.
Data Mining: Text Mining, Visualization and Social Media TweepsKey Augmented reality could be mobile's killer app | Opinion | Mobile is littered with false dawns, from mobile TV to MMS and video-calling. None has really delivered on its promise, but industry execs are quietly touting mobile augmented reality as a potential killer app. This week new media age revealed bookings service Lastminute.com will be the latest to launch a mobile augmented reality (AR) service which displays the nearest restaurants and bars on the iPhone’s screen by using its compass and GPS capability. In preparation for a feature which will run in the magazine next month, I’m talking to execs from brands including Coca-Cola and IBM and agencies including Ogilvy and Acrossair who support the technology as both innovative and useful. Apps have certainly captured the public’s imagination and achieved widespread penetration and awareness, but have rightly also drawn criticism for lacking usefulness. The danger is that AR becomes flooded with novelty services which add little value to consumers and put off other businesses.
twistori Juice Analytics Much of what makes a great product manager is empathy and a desire to serve others. Tulsi demonstrates these qualities better than most I’ve come across. As you will see below, her passion for design as part of product management is only surpassed by that for her customers, products and causes. Oh, and there is usually much laughter involved. Enjoy and feel free to reach out to her at Even after years of product management experience at several companies, I still get frustrated when folks frequently say “So, you are a Project Manager”. With this in mind, let’s begin this discussion by describing what a Product Manager is. As Catherine Shyu, Product Manager at Send Grid puts so nicely: “Much of a Product Manager’s responsibility is to juggle multiple streams of conversation and move them towards closure.” Successful disruptive and innovative brands like Basecamp, Airbnb, Fab, and many others have proven that features alone don’t improve the sales.
Lastminute.com launches iPhone app directing users to local bars Lastminute.com is to launch an iPhone app which overlays the user’s location with information about local bars and restaurants. The free app, called nru, will be available from the App Store following approval by Apple. It shows people where the closest bars and restaurants are by overlaying their geographical position on the iPhone’s screen. It draws on both the iPhone 3GS’s compass and GPS. The service was developed by innovation division Lastminute.com Labs and pulls in venue data from its music booking service Fonefood and reviews site Qype. If it proves popular, the app will be extended to include more relevant information based on personal tastes, who a user is with and what local events are taking place. Following an earlier version of the app launched via Google Android, nru forms part of a bid by Lastminute to engage with its users when they’re away from their PCs. Marko Balabanovic, head of innovation for Lastminute, said it was natural for the business to move into mobile.
Leaving innovation to Lastminute - 05 Feb 2009 - Computing Lastminute.com is developing mobile applications to help users find local services In these troubled economic times, it is easy to say that focusing on IT innovation is critical, but it is often difficult to achieve. For online leisure retailer Lastminute.com, however, innovation remains central to its competitiveness as it seeks to take advantage of the growing appetite for mobile phone-based services. Since forming an innovation group two years ago, the company’s strategy changed from handling higher-risk and experimental projects with limited user-group testing into quickly developing applications and fully launching to the public. Mobile applications represent about 70 per cent of the work carried out by the division, while other projects concentrate on creating unified search methods across the site’s range of products. “We will be following that quite closely as mobile technology made us start thinking about the need to provide services to people on the move.”
How People Share Content on the Web We all know it’s good to share, right? Silicon Alley Insider recently shared some information with us on How People Share Content on the Web. The article took a look at some recent data released by AddToAny, a company that develops widgets that enable users to share content across various social media and other Web communication channels. It should come as no surprise that Facebook (24%), email (11.1%), and Twitter (10.8%) are among the most popular methods for sharing content on the Web today. This is significant information for any Web publisher or other organization that seeks to provide content for its users to share across the Web. I think this information continues to support the argument that organizations need to open up more of their content for users. Back to the point of free versus paid content. As a consumer of online content, I am also an active sharer of information I find interesting. How are you making it easier for people to share your content today?
