ten Hagen on Social Media

Apple doesn't let a user pick "default" applications in the iPhone. Therefore, all links in Apple's email send the user to Apple's browser, Safari, even if the user prefers Chrome.

With this hack, Google is creating its own alternative to "default."

By creating a network within Gmail that links Google's other apps, it's allowing users to bypass Apple's native applications entirely.

Over time, Google could either acquire, or build more applications, linking them together, thus totally taking over the iPhone.

Oh, and if you don't like Chrome, you can turn it off, going with Safari.

As the days go by and developers get their hands on Glass, the basic apps that we need to survive in the wild and share our photos are popping up. Today, Glass To Facebook is available for those who want to post the moments captured with Glass to the social network.

"Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

For starters, Google Glass has a 640 x 360 resolution display, which might not sound like much but remember it’s sitting very close to your eye. Google says it is the equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away. The camera is capable of shooting 5 megapixel images and 720p videos. The sound will be transferred to your ears through bone conduction.

Inside, the Google Glass will have 16GB of flash storage, out of which 12GB will be usable, Wi-Fi 802.11b/g (no n) and Bluetooth. The internal battery capacity remains unknown but Google says it will last for a day with typical use, although features like Hangouts and video recording will burn through the battery faster. Google also recommends you use the provided USB charger, although Google Glass can charge through any microUSB charger.

Google Glass is designed to work with any Bluetooth capable phone, but if to take full advantage of the Glass you’ll have to use the MyGlass companion app, which only works on phones running Android 4.0.3 and higher. The app enables GPS and SMS functionality.

Ignoring Pinterest is no longer an option. But neither is ignoring Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, or your blog. How can you add Pinterest to the marketing mix without consuming even more of your time and resources on a daily basis?

In a statement to TechCrunch this week, Dotcom confirmed that he had ordered the staff his file-hosting website Mega to take down any files uploaded for building "The Liberator," the world's first 3D-printed gun.

“I think it’s a serious threat to the security of the community," said Dotcom, according to a statement emailed to TechCrunch by a spokesman. "I think it’s scary that people can print 3D guns that can’t even be detected by metal detectors. This should concern everybody."

Het gaat hoogstwaarschijnlijk om een DDoS-aanval, liet een woordvoerder van de Rijksvoorlichtingsdienst weten. Bij een DDoS-aanval wordt een grote hoeveelheid dataverkeer naar servers gestuurd, waardoor die tijdelijk onbereikbaar worden.

De storing begon rond een uur of acht à negen 's avonds, aldus de zegsman. Hij zei dat er momenteel met man en macht wordt gewerkt om de website weer in de lucht te krijgen. De woordvoerder schat dat Rijksoverheid.nl binnen enkele uren weer online is.

If you only take one nugget from this post, please spend time building solid groups, lists, and circles. Share the content from the individuals in these groups, lists, and circles. Your results will dramatically improve.

Op hetzelfde moment dat Beatrix de Akte van Abdicatie tekende heeft de rijksvoorlichtingsdienst nieuwe staatsieportretten van koning Willem-Alexander en koningin Máxima gepubliceerd.

De foto's kunnen worden gebruikt in overheidsgebouwen als vervanging van de portretten van koningin Beatrix.

De foto's zijn eerder in april gemaakt door de fotograaf Koos Breukel.

Koning Willem-Alexander staat op de foto het Ridder-Grootkruis Militaire Willemsorde en koningin Máxima draagt het Grootkruis van de Nederlandse Leeuw. Na de inhuldiging wordt een nieuwe serie foto's gemaakt van de koning waarop hij de inhuldigingsmantel draagt.

Social commerce: E-commerce that involves social media, either in driving a customer towards purchase, or involving a customer socially during a transaction (the latter of which is also referred to as participatory commerce).

Pinfluencer: A Pinterest user with a large following, or reach, on the network.

Pinnable: An object, such as a photo or article, that can be pinned to (i.e. bookmarked on) Pinterest.

Social media ROI has always been a touchy subject. You'll find divided camps: those who emphasize that social media should not be expected to perform like a direct response tactic and those who can provide all kinds ofempirical formulas for calculating social media ROI. But one move will have more measurable impact on your bottom line than the number of Likes, mentions or +1s will ever have: ignoring.

Geen betere raad dan voorraad...;-)

Platformen als Twitter en Facebookhebben de marketing, sales en de community op een revolutionaire wijze veranderd. Maar op de werkvloer zelf is er ook erg veel veranderd. Meer dan de helft van de bedrijven staat het hun medewerkers toe om toegang te hebben tot sociale netwerksites op het werk, maar toch is er nog een kwart van de bedrijven die toegang tot sociale netwerksites actief blokkeert. De bijgevoegde infographic gaat dieper in op het gebruik van sociale netwerksites op de werkvloer.
