How To Make Firefox Act and Look Like Chrome

Make Firefox 6.01 look and Act like Google Chrome

This is an issue I noticed before but have not wanted to deal with. I was correct in assuming it would be very annoying but there are some great benefits.

Firefox plugins are generally much better than Chrome. As a developer, you may want to use Firebug (the most popular and useful development tool for look/feel design of websites. Firebug only works in Firefox. As an SEO you may want to use SEOquake – and the Firefox Version is much easier to use than the Chrome version. With KeePass for storing passwords, Using the plugin KeeFox works flawless, whereas the Chrome equivalent was very buggy.

This stems from the fact that Firefox is really Open Source. Chrome claims to have some kind of open source functionality through something called Chromium, but in actuality that’s not really how things work.

Color Social Network

Read a bit about the new Color Social Network - an interesting concept but the privacy concerns really get me worried. It seems before we know it our whole lives will just be on display for anybody to see - this coupled with my last post about Google working on locally targeted ads showing up on your smart phone...what a world huh?

Color Social Network: A Photo social network that's Post-PC

Color Social Network $41 Million in new funding!

Color.com really made a grand entrance today (3/24/2011). Not only did they just release their app live on Android and Apple iOS yesterday, but today they secured a staggering $41 Million dollar check from Sequoia Capital, in collaboration with Bain Capital and Silicon Valley Bank.

You think you have never head of Sequoia Capital right? Maybe you forgot about another start-up they invested in. Google. And guess what? They invested LESS in that venture than in Color.

So why all the hype? Color CEO Bill Nguyen has a good track record. He co-founded Lala, a cloud-based music service to Apple for $80 Million in 2009.

His vision: To create a social network that is post-PC. It's clear that Color (and their investors) believe in the future of the smart phone. This social network does not exist on a PC - in fact the whole idea only works with a portable device.

The basic idea revolves around sharing photos and videos based off user proximity, calculated by GPS. Users are then connected automatically through Bluetooth. This is a novel concept, but it certainly edges up against that fine line between public and private. It certainly gets my privacy warning signals going.

Google is a smart company

Mobile payments is an idea that has been around for quite some time, however the idea of targeted ads running on your cell phone is a great idea. Google, in conjunction with the GPS of a smart phone, will be able to know what store you are in at that moment and send you a special promotion offer. Getting into local search is the future and this offers a unique way for Google to get a piece of an actual brick and mortar business. This is a type of advertising that has never been done. Good stuff - but let's be honest...privacy issues anyone? Lots of good ideas are rolling out these days (e.g. Color http://hubpages.com/hub/ColorSocialNetwork) - but what about privacy concerns? Is anyone else worried about the big brother type implications of sharing your whereabouts at all times?

Google Sets Role in Mobile Payment

Google Inc. is teaming up with MasterCard Inc. and Citigroup Inc. to embed technology in Android mobile devices that would allow consumers to make purchases by waving their smartphones in front of a small reader at the checkout counter, according to people familiar with the matter.

The Internet giant is aiming to make mobile payments easier in a bid to boost its advertising business. The planned payment system would allow Google to offer retailers more data about their customers and help them target ads and discount offers to mobile-device users near their stores, these people said. Google isn't expected to get a cut of the transaction fees.

These phone users also would be able to get targeted ads or discount offers, which Google hopes to sell to local merchants. They also could manage credit-card accounts and track spending through an application on their smartphone, the people said.

Google's move is part of its quest to sell ads and other services to local retailers, a growth frontier for Internet companies. Google executives, including outgoing Chief Executive Eric Schmidt, haven't been shy about saying that Android devices could serve as payment facilitators, thanks to NFC technology, though they haven't specified what Google's role will be.

If Google's program with MasterCard and Citigroup is successful, it could potentially expand to other card issuers and networks. In addition to attracting new consumers through ads or offers and seeing instant results, the program would offer retailers access to data about customers so they would be able to market future offers to their devices, said people familiar with the matter.

Social Media Marketing for eMarketing

Social Media Marketing for effective eMarketing

If your company does not use social media marketing, you are missing out on a huge opportunity to maximize your online business. If you have an online presence, then you know there is probably something you should do to promote your site. Social Media Marketing is a confusing subject to many businesses - Large and Small. A social media marketing strategy or a social media marketing plan are essential if you want to take advantage of all of the great opportunities presented by the internet. Using blog marketing in conjunction with social networking marketing can be a powerful strategy. It will allow you not only to build a relationship with your followers, but it will also allow you to improve your relationship with Google. From the customers you may see an increase in sales. From Google, a higher search ranking.

The big 2: Facebook Marketing and Twitter Marketing

Any social media marketing consultant would be crazy to suggest you should not at least join these two social networks. There are literally hundreds, but fortunately just about everyone and there mother (and grandmother too) have Facebook and Twitter accounts. Facebook marketing can offer you a great platform to interact with your customers. Twitter marketing allows you to follow the buzz around your brand. Both are great for brand promotion and for connecting with your customers on a more personal level. Internet marketing and Social network marketing have merged into social media marketing. You must use both. They are no longer independent entities that can be ignored. A comprehensive eMarketing plan must be instituted if you wish to succeed. If you think Facebook Marketing and Twitter Marketing are not connected to search engine optimization, then you my friend must do a better job keeping up to date with eMarketing trends. Social media blogs have been buzzing around news that Google will start using Facebook Likes and Twitter Retweets when calculating your search engine rank. This means you need to get out there are start recognizing the huge benefits using social platforms for internet marketing has to offer. Blog Marketing is connected to Social Media Marketing You might think blog marketing and social media marketing are not the same thing. Well, they actually are closer than you think. And they are getting more and more interconnected daily. Facebook can now sign-in to many blog platforms and offers a way to bring all your favorite blogs to your favorite site. Social bookmarking sites are still very important when you talk about blog internet marketing. Blogs marketing is a great strategy for marketing your site to search engines. Google bots love text rich blogs, which often share a domain name with an ecommerce site. You use the blog to get the interested customers, then direct them to the products they wish to buy. Marketing your blog is a strategy that must be implemented. However, many people do not know where to start. I recommend you get out there and start reading. Save and bookmark all your favorite blog marketing sites. Ask people for recommendations! I personally really like reading EiConnectLink. EiConnectlink has a huge array of topics covered, such as Blog Marketing, Social Media Marketing, SEO, eCommerce, Facebook Marketing, and eMarketing. Have a look over there to start because it will give you a great beginners perspective. You will find some great information on social media blogs and using social media for marketing. Good luck!
