I just simply had to mention the recent iPhone release of Real Racing by Firemint.
It has to be the best racing game on the iPhone to date. With PSP level graphics what really sets it apart is the AI. Every race you battle with the AI who overtake, block and down right try to ram you off the road!
The only drawback with Real Racing is that being such a great game your battery will get hammered.
This has been puzzling me recently, how to measure whether the information/tutorial/guide etc has actually helped?
Looking at the keyword entrances to this site I wonder, did that person get the answer they were looking for?
This is slightly relevant to my day job as we run a knowledge management tool but I’m not sure how to go about answering this question when related to a blog.
What would you suggest?
The world is currently awash with blog posts criticizing twitter for removing the ability to see @replies from people you follow to people you don’t.
Now if this wasn’t something you had enabled from the settings on twitter.com you probably haven’t noticed a change, but for me it’s rather annoying!
It was a great way of discovering new people to follow from conversations the current people you follow had with others, that’s now all gone.
Please twitter, re-enable this setting. Thanks.
Being in the worst recession for over 50 years it is now more important than ever to get the most out of your business’s marketing.
Let’s be honest, no marketing will ever be totally free, you’ll have to at least invest in your own personal time. In this post, I’m going to discuss a few marketing techniques which with a little investment of your own time can help increase your business and build a mini community.
Having a company blog is a great way to get organic search engine traffic that you wouldn’t otherwise get. As well as the increase in traffic it’s a great way to showcase your expertise within the field of your company, making you an expert and providing potential customers with the reassurance that your company is great at what it does.
Facebook is a great opportunity to increase awareness of your company. Create a page and get your customer’s to create reviews of your company, you can then promote your page to all your friends. Some of your Facebook friends will decide to become a fan which will then let their friends know of that fact. This can quite easily spread over and over again.
Twitter is a great tool to have conversations with current and potential customers alike. Get to know your followers and use current trends to your advantage to attract new friends. Use twitter to build buzz around your products/services or announce sales. Keeping in contact with your clients is great for repeat business.
While using the above techniques it’s incredibly important to give back to your mini community, don’t simply post links to your site and spam advertising updates like, “Best deals here, buy now”. Give a reason for the community to follow you and they will either purchase your goods or promote your company to their friends.
Spotify a great new service that I’ve recently managed to get an invite to. You simply think a track/artist/album you wish to play and that’s it.
OK, so not all song’s are available and they have now introduced some region restrictions, but it’s still a solid service.
You can also pay £9.99 per month for a premium account which removes the advertising which is super cheap for the library available at your finger tips.
There’s also rumors of a iPhone app which would be killer! Access to pretty much any song I want on the go… Yes please!
I have a couple of invites left, give me a shout if’d you’d like one.
Anyone elses tweetdeck for the iPhone gone mental on them?
