Email Marketing: Links pay the most, clicked the least

According to separate studies released by StrongMail and ShareThis, links placed in emails have a higher conversion rate than links placed in Facebook, Twitter, or web badges. Although emails tended to lead to a higher percentage of conversions (i.e. sales and subscriptions), email links also had the highest percentage of actual link ignores where users more often ignored email links.

Alternative Music/Media Player Worth a Look

Most of us have used the standard music players. Winamp is relatively light weight and has some really cool features such as Winamp Remote (full streaming web access to your entire music library from anywhere…including your mobile phone). iTunes is crisp, well thought-out, and works great with your iPhone too, but is almost ridiculously slow when run in Windows. And then there is the standard-shipped Windows Media Player. Microsoft has been attempting to up-the-ante on it for years now, but it’s just not that great and shows slow growth and …

iPhone not the Business Solution We Need

The iPhone is a great phone…it has changed the way I access the digital world. However, many business features of the phone have been missing or janked since day 1. Revealing the complacency in the Apple’s business aspirations, Galen Gruman makes note of the most recent dropped ball- no email access via encrypted microsoft exchange server 2007:
Fixing a major but unacknowledged bug in the operating system, last week’s iPhone OS 3.1 update has rendered most iPhones and all iPod Touches incompatible with Exchange 2007 servers that require on-device data be …

Enhanced Video of the Moon Landing Now Available

embedded by Embedded Video

Although the only version of the moon landing viewed by the public is the live broadcast view, John Sarkissian, a CSIRO scientist, has been on the lookout for high quality back up tapes of the footage. No luck so far, but they have released enhanced video that cleans up details in the live broadcast.

VC Funds Shrink 82 Percent in Q2

Venture capital and talk surrounding internet start ups is getting stiffer. This news is not surprising considering the state of the economy- online entrepreneurs need to take this as an indication that, as it should be, a properly market-tested BETA is essential to garnering attention for your initial funding. The article below confirms my recent discussions with a New York-based early stage venture capital firm that asserted, “we’re looking for funding too; we should be getting more capital by the end of the year.”

Augmented Reality Technology and Communication

The video below represents a new cutting-edge technology that again, reshapes our communications and challenges our control over how we communicate. We could say first their was virtual reality. Then there was Minority Report. Now there is Augmented Reality (reality augmented by technology with communication tools built on the web and displayed through a “window”…in this case, the window being an iPhone).
Before you watch the video though, take a moment to read my considerations on the impact of a new technology such as Augmented Reality.
