Flipboard | personalized social magazine

Posted on August 9th, 2010 • Filed under mediarosa • 9 Comments

I finally had a moment to download, install and test drive Flipboard on my iPad. I am speechless. It’s another one of these “woah-I-am-touching-the-future-moments”. Here’s a video explaining what Flipboard does:

A big giant yay to the team over at Flipboard. Design and Usability is topnotch. Realizing that this is the first version of the app, I can only *imagine* what the future versions are going to look like. What an impressive first start.

Also, I am superexcited to see that talented Maria Popova’s blog is featured as one of the recommended feeds. Go Brainpickings!

Ruder Finn Intent Index – Intent-Driven Social Media

Posted on August 12th, 2009 • Filed under mediarosa • 1 Comment

Three out of five Americans go online to influence the opinion of other people, and twice as many to socialize than to shop. I suppose that speaks a lot about the intent of folks participating online whether it’s Twitter, blog commenting, sharing with Digg or shopping on Amazon. So with that, the folks at Public Relations firm Ruder Finn bring us the Intent Index. Now we know why we do what we do and it’s all presented to us in a pretty Flash interface.

Lazy Ass Blogging

Posted on April 10th, 2009 • Filed under mediarosa • No Comments

That’s right…lazy. But I don’t think of lazy as a bad thing – it’s a good thing when it’s in the context of working smarter. So with that excuse in mind, I’ve installed Zemanta. I haven’t grasped all of it’s super hero powers yet. In fact this post is a trial run for Zemanta to see what it will do for me.

So far I love the ability to suggest images based on what I am writing, while I am writing. Next, I may see what it does when I plug something on Amazon.com.

UserVoice – Customer Feedback

Posted on March 29th, 2009 • Filed under mediarosa • No Comments

It’s one thing to provide a forum for feedback or comments, that’s great, but what do you do with it? How do you involve the community as a whole?

“UserVoice adds structure to feedback and reduces the overhead of an honest dialog with our users — It creates a market around good ideas so we get more quality than quantity.”

Uservoice provides a number of features toward community development of ideas and feedback. Customers or site visitors vote on comments making the stand outs…well, stand out.

I’ve just installed the Google Friend Connect commenting plugin from Joost de Valk. It just works. Thanks Joost! I’m looking forward to seeing how the Google’s Friend Connect works for myself and for bloggers or site owners in general. Another reason to buy into Google.

 

Advertising to Gen Y on Social Networks

Posted on March 9th, 2009 • Filed under mediarosa • No Comments

via The Social Media Marketing Blog:  Advertising to Gen Y on Social Networks.

You mean to say that Millennial’s do see adds and do find them annoying…is that it? ‘Cause that’s how I see most of them, and the less relevant they are to me, the more annoying.

Scott has it right in his post, and here are the numbers that hit home for me.

The Important Stuff

Here’s where it gets interesting. Wanna know what Millennials do care about on social networks? (Of course you do – that’s why you’re here.)
