January 13, 2012 by Vipool Prajapati with 188 views

 Recently, New York Times reported that the one millionth mobile app went into the market. Are mobile apps now as much a requirement for a business as a web presence and a 1-800 number? Thinking along the lines of below questions may help determine if your business really needs a mobile app:Know Your CustomerForemost, and as obvious... [read more]

May 20, 2010 by Editor Bloggertone with 254 views

I was at the Irish Internet Association's Annual Conference held in Dublin yesterday, where the theme was "Vision 2020". I could only stay during the morning, but it was worth my while, with some good presentations, some "same old", and some thoughts that I brought back with me... There was a panel discussion which ranged from the... [read more]

Who will own the Splinternet? Apple vs Facebook vs Google

April 30, 2010 by Charlene Li with 166 views

In the last month I have become even more convinced that the Splinternet is real. This is not just one of the most important trends to hit the Web in the last five years, it's a war. Facebook and Apple want to own your as much of your Internet experience as possible. I've used the term "Splinternet" to refer to a Web in which content... [read more]

If you’ve been keeping up with the current marketing trends, you should be in the process of exploring how to utilize social media to benefit your business.

2010 (?)

January 4, 2010 by Albert Wenger with 167 views

Well, it’s the 4th of January, 2010 and I have so far written and crossed out 2009 at least half a dozen times.  My brain is apparently reluctant to accept that it is 2010.  After all, in a few minutes I will be braving the cold on the way to a (probably frozen) Metro North train, instead of firing up my jet pack or better yet...

Areas Of Interest

January 2, 2010 by Fred Wilson with 151 views

A few days ago, I exchanged emails with a journalist friend. She said the following, "I'm just wondering which sectors/investment areas/types of start-ups you think will be exciting investments in 2010, and which you're staying away from because they're over-hyped, not yet ready, etc."  Today I sent a friend in the VC business an...

A Collection of 2010 Social Media Predictions

December 28, 2009 by Tac Anderson with 417 views

As 2010 approaches, there is  no shortage of 2010 predictions. (Mine included) I know some people get bored of these but I love them. I’ve been collecting a few to share with you here. Some of these I agree with, some I don’t; but I thought I’d let you make the call. Netscape, Yelp, and the Tech IPO Boom of 2010 I’m wagering we’... [read more]

Predictions for 2010

November 30, 2009 by Anthony Richardson with 147 views

Since the dawn of time, man has tried to grasp what will always be in front of us: the future. Great prophets told us of divine visions. Shamans read the unseen from bones, tea-leaves, or dice. Weathermen use scientific theories. Financial analysts use math and statistics. Political forecasting is done through the use of opinions. I use... [read more]

The Golden Triangle

October 10, 2009 by Fred Wilson with 174 views

I heard something this past week that stuck with me all the way to the weekend. To the life of me, I can't remember who said it but at least I remember what was said: The three current big megatrends in the web/tech sector are mobile, social, and real-time. I like to think of this as the golden triangle. You can build interesting... [read more]

Social Networking – Past & future

July 30, 2009 by Kate Carruthers with 162 views

Looking back to 2007 – and it seems so long ago now – social networking was just starting to get a bit of buzz happening. Some of the social networks that we were talking about in 2007 included Bebo, MySpace, Second Life, and YouTube. Back in those days we were all talking about Second Life, and pondering how it might revolutionize... [read more]

Mobile in the middle

July 21, 2009 by Greg Verdino with 147 views

While mobile still has a long way to go before it becomes a key channel for most marketers, it would be foolish not to keep an eye on new developments in mobility. Although I don't write many posts about mobile on this blog, in the past couple of weeks on Verdino Bytes I blogged about two separate and very different mobile... [read more]

Social Media as a Marketing Channel

March 13, 2009 by RajIyer with 228 views

I just can’t get enough of this topic. The more I think about it, the more I want to share my opinion (yes, I'm very opinionated). I originally wanted to write about both social networks and video marketing on the Web, as they are 2009’s most demanded source of marketing channels in companies. After a long debate, I decided this article... [read more]

Lots of news around location based services: 1.  Yahoo announced a new location based services product called Fire Eagle.  From their website: "Fire Eagle is a new service designed to make it safe and easy to build and use location-aware applications and services.

Utterz brings your personal brand to life online

February 5, 2008 by Krishna De with 105 views

I’ve just been trying out Utterz.com today having been alerted to the fact that there has been an upgrade in their service - thanks to Shel Holtz for sharing this information. I really like the fact that I can now leave an Utterz direct from a phone in Ireland and post it direct to my Twitter account or to my blogs. I also like the... [read more]

Yahoosoft and Small Business

February 4, 2008 by Steve King with 128 views

Microsoft's bid for Yahoo will most likely succeed.  Using what used to be called a "bear hug", MSFT's bid puts Yahoo's board in a position where they almost have to sell the company.  While there will be much talk over the next few days about "white knight" offers from News Corp and others, this is mostly posturing by Yahoo...
