As the increase in smart device ownership helps put the mobile web in the pocket of more and more Americans, mobile will play a greater role in all forms of content consumption—including social media.
US marketers surveyed in June 2010 by PRWeek and MS&L Group believed mobile social would have important consequences for their brand. Asked which social media efforts would have the greatest effect on their company, 17% said more usage of social media on mobile platforms and a further 12% cited uptake of mobile location-based social networking.
Another 4% said investing more in Twitter would be their most important effort. While a majority of users access Twitter from their desktop, the microblogging service is a major example of greater use of social media from mobile platforms. According to the company’s blog, mobile usage of the site rose 62% in about four months, and mobile sign-ups increased from 5% of the total earlier in 2010 to 16%.
Is your marketing mobile device friendly?
Way Fun!
I was sticking with Firefox because I use so many extensions and had Firefox customized for me. It took me 2 years to get Firefox tricked out the way I like it and I didn't think I had time to go thru all that with Google Chrome. Well, after giving it a try last week it couldn't have been more easy to switch.
Google Chrome imported all my bookmarks and settings from Firefox. That made the switch so simple. My password manager even transfers over to Chrome. So far I like everything about Chrome.
Have you tried Chrome yet? What do you think?
I'm always looking for new inspiration and ways to see the world of publishing, stories, ads and content. The Non - Designer's Design Book is full of inspiring ideas to help you create better looking designs. The book is full of visual references and examples to help you see how you're designs can look better.
I highly recommend this book to all creative types. It's a great exploration of the typography and visual design world.
