Report: Facebook Location Feature To Bow At f8

2010-03-09T20:12:32Z

<p>At the first f8 conference, Facebook Platform was launched.  Facebook Connect was announced the second time around.  And now, as f8 2010 draws near, a report&#39;s indicated that Facebook will finally unveil a feature having to do with users&#39; physical locations.<br> <br> <img align="right" src="http://images.ientrymail.com/webpronews/article_pics/FacebookLogo.jpg" alt="">Consider the difference someone&#39;s location can make.  Here&#39;s one basic example: Many people would pass over the status update &quot;Kate is warm,&quot; but something like &quot;Kate is warm - Miami, Florida&quot; might attract all sorts of attention from Kate&#39;s friends (assuming Kate&#39;s not a Miami native).  Plus it could mean a different set of ads would get shown.<br> <br> It's significant, then, that <a href="http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/09/facebook-will-allow-users-to-share-location/">Nick Bilton</a> reported this afternoon, &quot;Facebook plans to take the wraps off a new location-based feature in late April at f8, the company&#39;s yearly developer conference, according to several people briefed on the project.&quot;<br> <br> Bilton also wrote, &quot;The new location feature will have two aspects, according to the people familiar with Facebook&#39;s plans.  One will be a service offered directly by Facebook that will allow users to share their location information with friends...

Google Maps Takes Steps To Improve Marker Accuracy

2010-03-09T16:49:11Z

<p>By and large, Google Maps is great, providing well-plotted directions and up-to-date contact information on demand and free of charge.  But slight inaccuracies persist, and to fix this problem, Google will now allow people to reposition markers using Street View instead of just maps and satellite images.<br> <br> Perhaps this sounds familiar: you type an address into Google Maps, switch to Street View, and find yourself staring at a Wal-Mart instead of an Italian restaurant.  Then you spend five minutes clicking up and down a street to locate the correct spot.  Frustrating, right?<br> <br> Now there&#39;s an easy fix.  A post on the <a href="http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2010/03/edit-places-using-street-view-images.html">LatLong Blog</a> suggested, &quot;When you find a place that is in a wrong location, click on the marker and get an infowindow open as what you did before...

Examine Your Site's Text, Reduce Chances of Search Engine Confusion

Or that you need to take a look at all of the keywords you are trying to rank for, and think about the different meanings and contexts that those could be taken in that are unrelated to your actual product, and then eliminate other seemingly unrelated words that to a search engine could be misconstrued as an indication of one of those other contexts?<br> <br> At SMX West last week, WebProNews sat down with Bruce Clay of Internet Marketing firm <a href="http://www.bruceclay.com/">Bruce Clay, Inc</a>...

It's All Marketing

If the circus is coming to town and you paint a sign saying "Circus Coming to the Fairground Saturday," that's advertising. If you put the sign on the back of an elephant and walk it into town, that's promotion. If the elephant walks through the mayor's flower bed, that's publicity. And if you get the mayor to laugh about it, that's public relations. If the town's citizens go the circus, you show them the many entertainment booths, explain how much fun they'll have spending money at the booths, answer their questions and ultimately, they spend a lot at the circus, that's sales.


PRG Design ... What's the Difference?



One of the things that run through your mind when thinking about a website is how can I tell what the difference is... You have some specific factors that you must concider before selecting a website design professional or service provider:

1. Click Around...Do you like what you see? (this is important but beleive it or not it is not the most important.) but it is the most important first step.

2. Know your objectives. Why do you have/need a website? Do you want to have a website to say ... "I have a website" or do you want a website to build your sales/prospects channel?

3. Call the service provider up off hours... Did they answer the phone? Send an email/fill out the contact form. How long did it take for them to get back to you? You can derive a lot from this test and make some assumptions based on the level of service you should expect to receive while working with them from this little test.

4. When you did finally talk to someone were they able to answer your questions or did they just ask questions? Did the experience provide you with a sense of confidence that you will be taken care of?

5. No matter how big your project or your budget you should feel like you are in good hands and have confidence that you will be taken care of. Without this you will be doomed from the start.

Our program is design around generating results at an agreed apon budget. Through this process we consult with you to determine whether or not we are a good fit for each other.. before a dime is ever spent.

We evaluate the market potiontial and put a plan in place.

This plan is designed to minimize your finacial exposure and to get your phone to ring with new business right away.
