LinkedIn: You’re doing it wrong [Infographic]
Growing your revenue and reputation online has become a strategic imperative for businesses today. While many are actively embracing the social revolution, substantial improvements have yet to be made to leverage the lead generation and reputation management opportunities offered by the world’s largest professional network, LinkedIn, according to a new study conducted by LinkedIncome.517 businessmen participated in the survey and according to the results, 94% of them believe that their businesses should be participating actively on LinkedIn.However, 81% report that ...All you need to know about Facebook’s gigantic IPO [Infographic]
Eight years ago, Facebook was started in a dorm room at Harvard University. Now it's about to become a public company, valued at US$100-billion. Those must have been the craziest eight years of Mark Zuckerberg's life.As the social network's initial public offering (IPO) is scheduled for tomorrow, it seems like a good time to reflect on what the company has become, and ponder if you'll be one of the investors to snatch up a little part of Facebook for somewhere ...Why mobile technology is changing world travel [Infographic]
It pretty much goes without saying that people on the move would use a device that they can carry along with them on their travels. Unless the whole point of travelling was to get away from their inbox or they enjoyed the simple pleasure of carting a desktop computer around. So it's not surprising to learn that three out of four active travellers take their mobile device along when they hop on a plane and jet off to some fantastic ...MPesa: What does Kenya’s mobile darling look like five years on?
When MPesa launched five years ago, only the most optimistic would’ve thought that it would turn into the economic force of nature it is today.Today the mobile money service has around 15-million users and about a third of the Kenyan GDP passes through it. Some think that MPesa has disrupted entire economies and others that it is the only real economic disruptor of the 21st-Century.The numbers bear that kind of thought out too. People can deposit money into MPesa ...What is CISPA and why should we care? [Infographic]
It seems like the US government is just spending its time drawing up laws that cause online controversy. There was the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA), and now there is another **PA floating around in the form of the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA).CISPA is essentially trying to guard against cyberthreats by encouraging the sharing of information, but some critics argue its definitions are too vague. Some say that it could turn ...The death of BlackBerry [Infographic]
When I read this infographic about the death decline of the once all-powerful BlackBerry, my first thought was "Ag, shame." Ever wondered how it all went from QWERTY happiness to US$15 a share for the crowd over in Canada? Here is the sad story, all neatly packaged into this infographic along with a progressively balding BlackBerry fan.Ok, so opinions vary on exactly how 'dead' BlackBerry really is. There are still a fair number of loyal users and other human ...Meet the Facebook, Google and Zynga overlords [Infographic]
We are all slaves to Mark Zuckerberg. Ok, this infographic is a bit dramatic, especially the whole ‘Internet slaves, meet your masters’ part and all the mobster-ish illustrations of major tech leaders, but it does have a point. As millions continue to sign up for Facebook or a Google account or play a game of Farmville, these companies are becoming more and more profitable and powerful.You probably know all about Google’s privacy problems and that Safari tracking debacle, and maybe ...Want to be a millionaire? Make a smart phone game [Infographic]
Would you like to make a pile of cash? I rate you go into mobile gaming. While you’re merrily launching flocks of birds at a bunch of thieving pigs, gaming companies like Rovio are cashing in.How much is the Finnish game giant making, exactly? Well, its revenue totaled a nice US$100 million last year -- a substantial increase over 2010, where it made US$10 million. Which, you know, wasn’t bad either. It’s a nice industry to be in -- gaming ...South Africa’s 10 most influential political tweeters [Infographic]
Twitter matters. There’s no doubting that. It can help effect social change, make stars, or pariahs, out of politicians, and make or break a brand. Makes sense then that mattering on Twitter also matters.But who matters? In South African politics, the most influential people on the social network turn out to be a mix of politicians, journalists, activists and academics.At least, that’s according to a list compiled by PR and communications company Burson-Marsteller. The company compiled the ...Creepy employers want your Facebook password [Infographic]
Imagine this: you’re on your way to a job interview, safe in the knowledge that even though your prospective employer has probably been Googling you like a machine, there’s no way they can see anything you don’t want them to. You’ve double-checked your privacy settings, so you know your Twitter rants and crazy Facebook photos are safe from the interviewer’s prying eyes. Until you walk into their office and they ask for your username and password.No, this is not a ...
