Study: Women use social media most

Submit Solution says:

What strikes me most about this study is the fact that the percentages are only up for women about 5%-10%. Could this partially be explained by the fact that women tend to live much longer than men, and there are generally more women on the planet? Or is social media merely being dominated by a force of stay-at-home moms and mommy-bloggers who use social media ... read more

Study Says Women Use Social Media More

According to a recent study, it was found that women use social media networks more than men. The study used Google Ad Planner numbers to find this interesting conclusion.
Women use social media more than men
When I think of social media, think of people who are regularly submitting their opinions and interesting things they found on the web and getting the latest gossip and news. Women tend to do the exact same things in person; they like to get the latest gossip and give their opinions and talk about interesting things they’ve found. It’s a huge generalization I’m making, but it does account to why maybe social media attracts more women than men.
Women being the more dominant force in social media should be a positive for most businesses. This is because 80 percent of women are the decision-making one in their household when it comes to buying power. The more that a business can convince women that they need their product, the more profits they’ll make.Read more at www.submitsolution.com

Finland says it’s a human right to have access to the Internet

Amplifyd from www.submitsolution.com

Finland’s captive Internet audience

The government of Finland says it’s a human right to have access to the Internet, so companies must provide Internet with a speed of at least 1 megabit per second. Doesn’t that seem a little strange?
Apparently, it’s not an unalienable right to own a car or a house, but somehow it is an incredibly important right for every person to be connected to the Internet. To me, that just seems like faulty logic. In reality, we can all work hard to gain access to new tools, like cars, cell phones or the Internet, to make our lives easier, but there is no guarantee we’ll get those things without effort.
Ninety-five percent of Finland’s 5.2 million citizens are already connected to the Internet. This law makes little difference to the vast majority of the population. However, officials say they are trying to not only bring Internet access to rural areas, but also increase the speed for everyone to at least 100 megabits per second by 2015.Read more at www.submitsolution.com

Google debuts ‘stock market’ for display ads

Google debuts ‘stock market’ for display ads

In September, Google introduced a new way for its customers to buy and sell online display ads. It’s called the DoubleClick Ad Exchange and it allows Internet marketers to find a variety of Web pages to advertise on and quickly make a bid. This speeds up the process for both advertisers and publishers looking for ad revenue.

Google has literally thousands of partner websites scattered across the Web that display its online ads. However, Google has never been very good at display advertising. It bought DoubleClick back in 2007 for $3.1 billion and has been trying to come up with a good way to jump into this part of the paid-search market. This appears to be its big move.

Google’s move comes with plenty of risks. What if few ad publishers and advertisers sign on to the service? Who would want to participate in a service that no one else is using? Internet marketers are looking for ways to reach the right audience in simpler ways.Read more at www.submitsolution.com

Google Caffeine changes the rules

Submit Solution says:

Internet marketers, beware! Google’s new search engine, Google Caffeine, could change the way your e-commerce site is ranked, especially when it comes to single and two-word key phrases.

Google Caffeine changes the rules

Right now, Google is not doing a good job of searching through social-media sites, like Twitter and Facebook. So the company is working on a new version of its popular search engine that will add them to the mix and shake up other sites’ rankings for certain keywords.
They pointed out six ways the new search engine will dramatically affect online marketers’ strategies. For instance, 15 percent of all first-page rankings were different for the 40 keywords used in the study. Amazingly, the single keywords and two-word phrases saw 50 percent of their first-page results change with the new search engine.
The reason for this big change is the fact that Google Caffeine is focusing more on keyword relevance and it’s steering away from blogs and wikis in favor of social media, video, music, photo and other sites previously outside of its search capability.

Is Facebook falling apart?

Submit Solution says:

Is the giant social networking site falling victim to its own terrible privacy policies? What can they do to keep those who value their online rights from leaving in droves?

Amplifyd from www.submitsolution.com

Is Facebook falling apart?

The feelings of privacy violation are completely understandable, and perhaps even unavoidable. Facebook is a social network so its information is not meant to be completely private. Perhaps people’s concerns are just the result of their own carelessness in posting too much information or not studying the rules to keep it hidden. Or maybe it’s a combination of shifting, hidden or hard-to-understand rules, as well as people’s decisions not to read the fine print.
Heffernan notes, “As Facebook endeavors to be the Web’s headquarters – to compete with Google, in other words, and to make money from the information it gathers – it’s inevitable that some people would come to view it as Big Brother.”

the novelty of finding people on Facebook is wearing off, and I suddenly started looking at Facebook in a whole new light. Maybe Facebook’s services never really had a future, but they were just a fun diversion – a flash in the pan.Read more at www.submitsolution.com

Do Biases Cross The Line When Journalists Use Social Media?

Do Biases Cross The Line When Journalists Use Social Media?

Journalists have always had the responsibility of delivering news that is unbiased and balanced when reporting a story. They make sure their own opinions are left out of the story in order to achieve this which builds up their integrity and their publication’s credibility to the public.

But in this recent world of social media, journalists’ private and public life are beginning to become intertwined. Washington Post just closed down their Managing Editor’s Twitter account because of their expressing views on the health care system. They then sent out new social media guidelines to all of their employees stating what they can and can not do.

Journalists On Social Media Websites

What do you think? Do you think journalists should be allowed to express their opinions on their personal social media accounts? Or do their bosses (like Washington Post) have the right to limit their freedom of expression?

SEO and Bing: Should you be worried?

Submit Solution says:

Companies are wondering how Bing is going to affect their SEO and whether or not they should make the extra effort to cater to this “Decision Engine”s way of doing things.

Amplifyd from www.submitsolution.com

How Could Bing Affect Your Current SEO Rankings?

Microsoft released Bing (formerly known as MSN Search) just a few months ago with more than $80 million being spent in promoting it. An issue that has been brought up was whether the SEO rankings of companies would be affected. If Bing becomes more increasingly popular, then companies will need to start catering their SEO techniques to it or else they’ll lose out on searches being made there.

www.inmagine.com
Bing is still fairly new so many are waiting to see its long-term effects. Right now, some are saying it’s a good idea for companies to make the extra effort within the next year to increase ranking to take advantage of Bing’s advertising push.
Even though I don’t think Bing will be as strong as Google, I still think it’s a good idea for companies to get involved with it during this popularity burst. And if Bing does end up being a top search engine, then companies will benefit more receiving traffic from more than just Google.Read more at www.submitsolution.com

E-books Gaining in Popularity

Magellan Commerce says:

A great opportunity for writer’s without the resources to get their work published to gain exposure.

E-books gaining in popularity

Are books about to take a quantum leap forward?
The e-book industry certainly looks promising. It’s attracting top booksellers like Barnes & Noble and Amazon, as well as tech giants like Apple, Google and Sony.
E-book inside of a printed book
The reason I am so excited about this development is that it has the power to dramatically cut printing costs and open the doors to up-and-coming authors to show off their work. Imagine someone writing a great work of fiction and selling it through Amazon at a fraction of the price it would be if it had to be printed, shipped and stored. That author could start earning revenue almost immediately.
This also gives new opportunities to people engaged in ecommerce. Instead of having to mail cumbersome documents about their services to customers, they might be able to offer them in digital form.Read more at www.submitsolution.com
