SEO and Panda-

Google once again has updated their algorithms and put the internet marketing community into panic. The new Google Panda method of ranking websites has forced a new diligence in SEO marketing. There’s been a lot of talk that SEO is dead, or that SEO is dying. Where the old techniques were able to fool Google into ranking a page higher than another, the new method in my opinion gives new life to the SEO analytic process.
Undoubtedly SEO marketing is important to a business website where in fact it turns into profit conversions. That’s the whole art of the game right. Placing high on search engine results is one factor and there are plenty of schemes out there that promised that. Many which worked. High ranking is one thing, but high quality is another. The profit conversions take place when people truly are finding what they’re looking for, and that usually is quality, not quantity in marketing techniques which the average person is blind to see.

The Biophilia Educational Program-

As a supporter of new technologies I’d have to say that the Biophilia Educational Program is quite unique. The Biophilia app was developed with Bjork’s latest 2011 solo album. It consists of a mother app which hosts 10 additional apps dedicated to each album track. The apps explore similarities between technology, music, art, science, and nature. The Biophilia Educational Program was introduced in July of 2012 as the New York City Public Library hosted the education workshops. Since then the program has received a lot of positive feedback from educators who are interested in integrating similar programs into their curriculum.   Read more…

Building A New America Through Renewable Energy-

What I have expected of the Obama administration since he first took office was the creation of jobs in new areas. At a time which was reflective of the great depression like President Roosevelt and his new deal policies I looked forward to America recapturing that initiative. Though job growth has been steady but slow the renewable energy sector has spawned onto new horizons.
Global warming is evidently in effect. Public opinions understandably are quite divided on job growth and climate change, however on the issue of global warming the scientific data supports a strong concern. Industrialization throughout the twentieth century along with great advances has also procreated negative impacts on us globally. A national commitment to the advancement of renewable energies is stepping in the right direction. Read more…

User Experience by Definition-

UX defines a persons interaction with a system or product. Generic aspects would be physical design or graphic design, system interface, usability both emotional and physical, a strong emphasis on visual communication, information architecture, and an overall focus on the affective utility and efficiency of the system. Your personal experience with a product is the main drive to its success. The end users satisfaction is gauged by their interaction with the product or service.

Technical Elements of User Experience-

To understand the technical elements we have to consider the appropriate data. With any product or service first you have to define “the opportunity.”  Then outline “the requirements” which will best support the development of the product. Requirements would be market demand, supporting opportunities, user needs, technical opportunities to enhance the product, and general compliance such as corporate standards, and legal guidelines.

Self Employment In The Current Economy-

If you have have been unemployed in the past four years then you probably understand the difficulty in repositioning in today’s economy. In fact its so competitive that at times it can feel a bit hopeless. Thankfully in some sectors it is improving and America would appear to be getting on its feet again. However other sectors show minimal recovery. Today’s unemployment rate is an average 7.9%. That’s roughly 12.3 million jobless in the United States currently looking for work. The number of people who have been out of work for 27 consecutive weeks and currently looking for employment is 5.0 million or 40.6 percent of the total unemployment rate. The 40.6% still looking would account for those likely in the sector of minimal recovery and will likely find themselves exhausting their unemployment benefits before finding new employment. The focus may then tend to shift to self employment.

Twitter Marketing?-

About a year and half back I went through some clever training on Twitter marketing. I hadn’t used Twitter before but it was clear it was a good social platform to utilize. Marketing however wasn’t  exactly the way I wanted to set out into to the Twitter universe. I wanted it more for establishing relationships, getting insider hints, and sharing thoughts. I saw Twitter as a great way to get a view on public interests and maybe some new ideas. As far as marketing goes Twitter served me better as a grass roots insider, or a viral window to what is current, hip, popular, or not. A way in sort to sit in with a demographic and understand the common interests. Read more…
