@SysgenPhil It’s easy to think that content marketing is the same as copywriting. In fact, this is a common misconception. The two do work hand-in-hand, but are distinctly different. We’re going to address this difference with the help of an analogy that features one of our favorite foods: cake. read more

@SysgenPhil A French duo got frustrated with QA testing for mobile apps, so they spent a month coding and designing a new service called Duologue. Duologue helps you compare app screenshots with mockups, track bugs and comment. “These days, I’ve been developing a few mobile apps,” developer Paul Dupuy told me. “The process to test and report UX bugs really got on my nerves.” Here’s the result, a neat little tool that he just launched today with designer Oskari Grönroos. It’s a paid service that will cost you $49 per month for an unlimited number of users and projects. I can see companies working with freelance app developers using this kind of tool. It’s very straightforward and could help you save a bit of time — annotation tools like Skitch, Droplr or Bugshot aren’t as powerful as Duologue. The team already showed Duologue to a few people, and nearly all of them are still actively using it and are enthusiastic. It’s a niche tool, but it’s a small project as well that was developed by a small team. Duologue could find a small app developer audience with this kind of services.

The concept of Jelly is that people take a photo of something with their mobile device then ask a question about it – ‘What’s this?’ ‘Where is this?’ ‘How do I fix this?’ Their network of contacts who also use Jelly can respond. read more

@SysgenPhil Hoping to capitalize on our collective nostalgia for the Polaroid brand, San Francisco-based indie app developer Dana Shakiba of Appadana, a self-confessed “Polaroid enthusiast,” set out to launch a mobile photo app, Polamatic, that would reintroduce the idea of the classic white-bordered instant photo to a younger generation of smartphone users. Today, the company has rolled out the first update to its iOS app since 2012, which has now been completely rebuilt from scratch, adding new borders, filters, and text features. I know what you’re thinking: we already have Instagram, right? Sure. But that hasn’t stopped a bunch of other startups from launching photo-filtering apps of their own – some, even building businesses around their creations, like Aviary has done with its photo-filtering developer SDK. Polamatic at least has this element of fun to it – you’re kind of screwing up your pictures on purpose, and somehow this feels like an artistic endeavor. Shakiba says that getting Polaroid’s blessing to create this app was a difficult process back in the day. “I literally was rejected by the marketing and legal teams of Polaroid numerous times before being able to secure a meeting with the President of Polaroid, Scott Hardy. He loved our ideas and the app itself,” Shakiba tells us. Today, the company sells the app for $0.99, and as an authorized Polaroid licensee, has a revenue share agreement in place with the company on the sales of its products, which are developed in close partnership with Polaroid. The app was first released on iOS back in May 2012, where it hadn’t been updated since December that year. Now, that changes. With Polamatic 4.0, the largest amount of work went into creating the Polaroid filter presents. The app cleverly tries to mirror the experience of using a real Polaroid camera itself, which as you may recall (or so your parents have told you, kids!), was kind of unpredictable. You never quite knew how the image would develop. In the app, which comes with 36 filter presets that attempt to capture the soft glow of the Polaroid film, there are those that include random emulsion streaks and textures which simulate the impact of dirty rollers in an actual camera. In addition, the company gathered up a huge collection of Polaroid pictures, and scanned in those with the most unusual borders to offer Polamatic users something beyond just the generic white frame found in competing apps.

@SysgenPhil Google today launched a plugin for self-hosted WordPress blogs in public beta that makes adding AdSense ads to websites easier and makes verifying a site with Webmaster Tools a single-click process. Given that WordPress now powers more than 20% of websites, it’s no surprise that Google has decided to take WordPress very seriously. Despite its legacy as a blogging platform, WordPress is mostly used as a content management system that, thanks to its extensibility, can cater to virtually every need. While it seems like Google is planning to add more functionality to the plugin over time, the current version is still pretty limited. Besides the Webmaster Tools verification (which saves you the usual steps of copying and pasting code snippets into your WordPress templates), it only offers the ability to easily place ads on your site. With so many WordPress websites on the market, the company clearly wants to make sure its main source of income is available on as many of these as possible. Given the wide variety of WordPress templates, however, chances are that this won’t work with every site. Google acknowledges as much and says that it is “still fine-tuning the plugin to make sure it works well on the many WordPress sites out there.” To get started with this tool, all users have to open the plugin and then select if they want to see a preview of their site’s homepage, or of a single page or post. Google automatically places markers on the screen for spots where ads would fit and all a user has to do is select one of these spots to start service ads there. The service currently supports four ad formats: automatic (which chooses the most appropriate size), horizontal banner (728×90), vertical banner (160×600) and rectangle (300×250).

@SysgenPhil Facebook is passe, people are fatigued and fleeing and there's no way any high school student would be caught dead posting photos at a place where their parents are present. This spells major trouble for brands who have spent the last several years exerting tons of effort making the network an integral part of their marketing strategy. read more

@SysgenPhil All startups have an origin stories of some sort, but for ArtCorgi, it's both about the beginning of the company and the engagement of its co-founders. That's right, it's a startup run by a husband-and-wife team of Malcolm (CEO) and Simone (COO) Collins. You can read Malcolm's full account of the proposal here, but the gist of it is that he commissioned 21 pieces from 18 artists via online art community deviantART, and then posted them on Reddit. Maybe not the way you would propose, but still, pretty darn amazing. (And most importantly, she said yes.)

@SysgenPhil On the heels of today's ruling overturning net neutrality, Senator Al Franken aggressively condemned the decision, arguing that it would lead to an unleveling of the economic playing field, tilting the marketplace against small businesses that he represents.
