Facebook just released two updates; you can now schedule or backdate your fan page posts and page admins can post on their pages as fans as seen below. However, you don't want to lose that "brand-response" to fans so use it wisely.<br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<a href="http://www.dollarshaveclub.com/" target="_blank">The $1 Dollar Shave Club's</a> video on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUG9qYTJMsI" target="_blank">youtube</a> got more than 4.8 million views in less than 3 months. The video cost them around $50k to make but the ROI was quite worth it plus it caught the attention of a number of <a href="http://venturebeat.com/2012/03/06/dollar-shave-club/" target="_blank">venture capitalists</a>.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZUG9qYTJMsI" width="640"></iframe><br />
<br />
The point is that it doesn't take a large investment to make a video go viral. All it takes, is just some creativity & innovation in a video that would make you look good when you share it. Like this one by <a href="http://www.itau.com.br/index.htm" target="_blank">Itau Bank</a> in Brasil, which got over 15 Million views in 5 months- how much do you possibly think it cost them?<br />

Facebook's promotod posts allows your page's post to reach more than 10% of its fans. Here's a post from one of the pages I manage that has 56,000 fans. For my page, facebook charges $15 to reach an estimate of 20,000 fans, and $50 to reach 62,000 fans over 3 days. <br />

<a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> just unveiled new applications to let users share everything from what you are wearing to which convert you're going to. <br />
<br />
<br />
More than 60 new apps were released and you can now share music that you're listening to through <a href="http://www.spotify.com/" target="_blank">spotify</a>, or articles through <a href="http://www.yahoo.com/" target="_blank">Yahoo News</a>.<br />
<br />

One of the coolest apps include <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">Ticketmaster </a>and <a href="http://pinterest.com/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a>. The latter has received much popularity recently and is growing with increasing momentum. It's known as a virtual pin board where you can collect interesting things across the web. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/" target="_blank">Facebook's open graph</a>, expect more apps yet to come. Pick a verb or noun and use it to create stories on the news feed and users' timelines. The below demonstrates how facebook is shaping the future of sharing across the web.<br />

61% of mobile users call a business after searching and 59% visit the location <span style="font-size: x-small;">(Source: Google). </span>Did you know that 39% of smart phone owners use their phone while going to the bathroom?<br />

<b>Become the #1 game changer and get a mobile friendly web site. </b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You can test your website using the <a href="http://www.howtogomo.com/en/#gomo-meter" target="_blank">GoMometer</a> by Google. From there you can see if you have broken links, if you can read the text without zooming or scrolling, if links can be clicked with a thumb or if you can search for something easily. </div>

Is it affordable? <i>Let me ask you, can you afford to wait while your competitors beat you to the punch? </i></div>

<div>
<b>A few key points that are important while getting one are the following:</b></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Keep it quick: Prioritize content, compress images as mobile users are short on time.</li>
<li>Simplify navigation: minimize scrolling and keep it vertical</li>
<li>Be thumb friendly: use large, centered buttons and give them extra space to reduce accidental clicks</li>
<li>Make it accessible: use HTML5- Apple brought flash down with its excess non flash compatible iPhone/iPad sales. </li>
<li>Make it easy to convert: reduce the transaction steps, use click to call functionality. </li>
<li>Make it local: Include maps. </li>
<li>Use mobile site directs: give users the choice to navigate to and from your desktop site</li>
<li>Use Analytics: it is always important to research your insights to learn how people use your site.</li>

<a href="http://www.wikipedia.com/" target="_blank">Wikipedia </a>staged a 24 hour blackout of its articles joining other web sites in a protest against SOPA, a US legislation aimed at shutting down websites that share pirated movies and other content<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.reddit.com/" target="_blank">Reddit </a>shut down for 12 hours, <a href="http://www.google.com/" target="_blank">Google </a>blacked out the logo in its home page, and <a href="http://www.craigslist.com/" target="_blank">Craigslist </a>took a middle route by changing its home pages to a black screen. <br />
<br />
Mark Zuckerberg of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook </a>made an announcement yesterday saying this is not the way it should be on the web. <br />
<br />
I personally, think that SOPA is not the right way to control content on the web- it should not be passed. </div>Moe Kamal, Jr.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02159972428441960538noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587644564676338127.post-51715091183241258662012-01-10T20:50:00.000-08:002012-01-10T20:57:39.185-08:00Search Enters The World of Social Media<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<b>Introducing "Search plus Your World"</b><br />
Back in March 2011 on my <a href="http://mohamedkamaljr.posterous.com/what-if-facebook-adds-sem" target="_blank">Posterous</a>, I asked what if Facebook adds search? Well, It's hasn't happened yet, but close enough <a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/search-plus-your-world.html" target="_blank">Google </a>has just launched its master plan today while the whole world has its cameras and desktops geared towards the <a href="http://www.cesweb.org/" target="_blank">CES event in Las Vegas</a>. Jack Menzel, product management director of search at Google explained that members of <a href="https://plus.google.com/" target="_blank">Google+</a> will be able to search agaisnt both the broader web and their own Google+ social graph.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Google's "<a href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/search-plus-your-world.html" target="_blank">Search plus Your World</a>" will show results from both the web and across your circles. Watch this video to see how it works.<br />

<a href="http://mashable.com/2012/01/10/google-launches-social-search/" target="_blank">Mashable</a> in it's last post also had the same question as I had, "is it time for Facebook to finally launch that fabled Facebook Search Engine?"

<b>Toshiba Excite Tablet</b><br />
<a href="http://us.toshiba.com/tablets/thrive?cm_mmc=tai-_-hpbb-_-thive" target="_blank">Toshiba </a>might have just did it right with its new 10 inch tablet. With a magnesium back, it is the worlds' thinnest tablet measuring in at just .3 inches and weighing just 1.2 lbs. It might run android's 4.0 ice cream sandwich. It's price has not been decided yet, but it definitely will be more than the Kindle Fire and neck to neck with the iPad.<br />

<b>How Can My Posts Live Longer on the News Feed?</b><br />
<br />
Are you a facebook fan page admin and your posts get lost in the mix? Do your posts stay in the "Top News" feed on the home page?<br />
<br />
Here's a tip, post when the traffic is high, usually people are infront of their computers during the evening. So I suggest you post twice one during the day and once during the evening.<br />
<br />
Another thing is; have you considered the different time zones of your fans? check your fan page's insights and allocate posts according to the different time zones.<br />
Cheers,<br />
