Are e-mail’s days limited?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Last week, Facebook unveiled a new messaging service amid predictions that it will replace e-mail. Surprisingly, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, denied this saying the new interface that will blend e-mails, instant messages (IMs), and simple message services (SMSs) will not be an “e-mail killer.”

A further look at Zuckerberg’s comments, reported in this article, suggest an ulterior motive for making such a pronouncement. He pointed out that many younger users no longer use e-mail because it’s so slow and formal and favor more conversational, instant messaging. So he may not want this service thought of as an e-mail replacement because of e-mail’s declining popularity.

In any event, Facebook’s new service will most likely be a force to be reckoned with. It is designed to compete with Yahoo’s Hotmail and Google’s Gmail services, and will probably either threaten or push those services. To learn more about these new social media and messaging services and how your organization should respond and adapt, contact us.

SMO overtaking SEO

Sunday, November 7th, 2010

It’s nothing new to say the search engine optimization (SEO) is changing. Its constant change is a fact of life. A recent development, as this article explains, is the importance of social media optimization (SMO). It’s a development that companies need to understand when developing their content.

SEO was valuable when it was difficult finding pages on different topics. It focused on maximizing the usage of keywords that search engines can find and deliver to users. However, most topics now have a wealth of pages available that are chock full of keywords.

SMO includes the keywords but focuses on delivering useful content that readers find helpful and share with others through social media utilities. Its goal is to go beyond getting better page rankings and convincing readers that the content is worth liking on Facebook, retweeting on Twitter, bookmarking on Delicious, or digging on Digg.

If you want to learn more about this topic or any online topic, contact us. We can help guide you through the constantly developing world of the Web and provide you with quality SEO and SMO.
