3 steps to personalizing your about.me background using Instagram

3 steps to personalizing your about.me background using Instagram

The site that allows you to connect to various social media sites with a short description about yourself known as about.me acts much like an online business card. It is great to place in your e-mail signature and is much preferred anywhere you want to display your social sites over listing each link. Personalization is key in allowing people especially possible employers see a side of you prior to even talking to you. Therefore it is always recommended that your photos are tasteful and only shared on the Internet if they are worthy of being seen by anyone, literally. …

7 effective tech transitions

7 effective tech transitions

How have Tech companies pivoted within its History? An idea must begin somewhere to have abilities to branch out into something else (although Apple may not agree). Evolution stems from a single idea that has room for growth and therefore enabling other startups to birth themselves within the industry.

However, for the rest of us, we remain curious as to what will happen to our Google Documents once Google Drive takes effect.

SociableNow: Make calls easily from a link or QR Code and gain analytics

How great would it be to have a QR code or Link on your website for people to quickly speak with you over the web or phone? Ridding of the annoying pop-up chat box and adding a more humanized way of connecting by actually being able to voice chat with a… human. Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of telling someone in a tweet to call a number or use software, if you could simply send them a link? We are the click n’ go generation enjoying our time on the web, and the faster we can connect with people the better. Businesses especially need to keep up with technologies that will help ease their jobs and increase…

Tweet directly from your blog or website

Tweet directly from your blog or website

We have all been wondering what the deal has been with Twitter cutting off third-party apps from their site and perhaps we now know why. In the past few days Twitter has announced a new feature known as “embeddable tweets”, giving its users a fresher way of connecting. Though the changes for developers have caused frustration, Twitter seems to want its users to be more active on their site as opposed to using third-party apps. However, it seems as though Twitter realizes that not everyone will go directly to their site to communicate, therefore they have designed a new tool that is accessible…

Graphics so good, they

Graphics so good, they'll fool your Facebook friends

I did a bad thing the other day. My son showed me a video (below) of an enhanced variation of Skyrim, the popular video game that has kids and adults alike addicted to a strange fantasy world. It isn’t just the nearly-unlimited potential that the game offers to players. It’s also the amazing graphics, and the ones enhanced in the video below fooled even my Facebook friends. We took a screenshot and posted it on Facebook and Google+. I wanted to see if anyone would notice that the image (the one above) was computer generated rather than a real photograph. If anyone noticed, they didn’t call me out. In fact,…

Any successful business has gotten to where they are because of three major factors, product, business structure, and a solid corporate identity – in this case, a strong, easily recognizable logo. Corporate identity can make or break a business almost as easily as its product or business structure. When I’m stuck at work and want to order a pizza, I immediately think Dominos. It’s just that simple. Simple is a key term to remember here, because the more…
