Exposing your Blog

2011-02-05T23:05:00.001+08:00

Below are few time-saving tools and tips to publicize your blog through social media.

One important way to make your marketing efforts on social media sites more effective is by automating the posting process. This means that once you post to your blog or to a social network, it can be re-posted automatically to all your other networks and sites. Automation gives you a greater amount of exposure without having to post your content to each social network individually.

Some online tools like ping.fm allow you to automate your social networking sites. Others like tubemogul.com enable you to coordinate video postings. These sites can submit a link or post to one or two, or in some cases up to 60 sites that you’re using.

Also, be mindful that your posts are relevant to all the sites they’re being posted to. In other words, if a particular network has a specific theme and the content in your post isn’t relevant to that community, it can elicit negative votes or comments, or be considered spam.

Here are some automation suggestions to get you started:

•Twitter to Facebook/Facebook to Twitter. When you post on Twitter, it can automatically re-post to your personal Facebook newsfeed. Conversely, you can make it so that when you post something to your Facebook fan page, it will also post to Twitter (as well as to your personal Facebook newsfeed).

•Link your blog to Facebook. Click on the NetworkedBlogs application in Facebook (apps.facebook.com/blognetworks), and add your blog information as prompted. There’s a verification process that Facebook will walk you through to make sure you’re the author of the blog.

•Link your blog to LinkedIn. If you have a WordPress blog, go to Applications and click on WordPress. If you have a TypePad blog, go to Applications then Blog Link. LinkedIn will walk you through the process step-by-step.

•Link your blog to Twitter. Twitterfeed is a useful, free website application that “feeds your blog to Twitter.” Go to Twitterfeed, sign up for an account, verify your identity and log in. Then click the Create New Feed button to add your blog. It might take a couple hours to start working.

Add a Widget or a Plugin
Another great way to automate your blog so that it posts to the social sites you’re active on is to set up widgets and add plugins. You can do this for sites like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Squidoo, Delicious, Digg and others. The way a widget works is every time you post on one social site it will go out to your blog as an update.

First, you’ll need to verify that your blogging platform accepts widgets. Then log into each of the sites you want to add a widget to, go to the search box and type in the word widget. That will direct you to the most current directions on how to upload or generate the HTML code needed to post widgets to your blog.

Another option is using plugins. They are applications that can enhance the capabilities of your blog, such as the All in One SEO plugins available on WordPress, which help you optimize your blog for search engines. The WPtouch iPhone Theme on WordPress allows you to transform your WordPress blog into an iPhone application-style theme. There are thousands of plugins available, and they’re usually found on your blog platform under plugging.

Online Branding Strategies

2010-05-22T22:56:00.000+08:00

For any business, the brand is its business identity. The brand differentiates you from your competitors. The perception of your product or service is determined by the brand. Innodeas can help you with successful brands in an innovative and profitable way through the use of Innovation, Appeal, Consistency and Engagement.

Innovation: Innovation is always the key. It refers to an incremental emergent or radical and revolutionary changes in thinking, products, processes, or organizations.

Appeal: Your message or advertisement should appeal to your customer. It should clearly convey the benefits of your product or service. This will bring more confidence for your customers in order to engage you in more businesses.

Consistency: Aim your target! Branding requires targeting your visitor or customer through multiple channels. You should be consistent in terms of your approach, your logo, your slogans’ and your treatment given to a visitor through all channels.

Engagement: Always engage your customer! Try to convey your customers how you are going to add value to their professional or personal lives. Interesting copy and imagery will engage your customers.

Emerging technologies and gadgets for 2010

2010-05-19T23:44:00.001+08:00

Innovation is everywhere. We at Innodeas also believes in Innovation. How does this innovation corroborates the gadgets for the year 2010? Whether you talk about high-definition 3D televisions, slim and sleek e-readers, or powerful smart phones or a flock of streaming media devices, the big watchwords this year are innovation, versatility, interconnectivity and value for money.

At Innodeas, we believe the following gadgets are on limelight for the year 2010

1. Wireless, 3-D, HDTV, LED Television
Television goes Wireless, screen becomes LED. Relax and access widgets which are bite-sized programs that run right on your TV, straight from your living room or stream over content from your PC. Skype making its debut on Televisions, possibly bringing casual videoconferencing to mainstream prominence, and turning your living room into a communications hub. Few companies are also planning to offer models with 1080p broadcast and Internet content up-scaling. Few comes with built-in hard drives and wireless support, as well as the ability to convert 2D content from movies to video games into full 3-D.

2. E-Readers and E-Book Players
Reading e-books on the go! Yes – this start to happen in 2010. Even Google is coming up with Electronic books (See Innodeas Blog for more details)

3. Portable Projectors
Carry your projector in your pocket when you walk-in to a presentation room. Connect it, project it, present it and walk-back in style.

4. Netbooks, Tablet PCs and iPAD
An era of portable systems in slicker models, many now with touch-screens and strong processors and graphics cards.

5. Streaming Media Extenders
We are yet to see an application or system capable of supporting most of the major multimedia formats, but Innodeas believes this will happen in 2010, making it happen to connect your TV, Blu-ray player, to your home network or the Internet.

Mobile Application Development at Innodeas

2010-04-19T23:34:00.000+08:00

The innovation of powerful and user-friendly smart phones has acclaimed a new era in mobile computing and mobile application development. A mobile application environment with internet has both advantages and disadvantages compared to the traditional Internet accessed through the desktop. The screen sizes are much smaller ; the form factor is not the same. Instead of point-and-click, we need to touch, pinch or flick. Mobile applications are more easily accessible and are location aware, thanks to GPS technology.

Innodeas has come out with a new stratergy and plan for mobile application develoment before going deeper into the project execution phase. If we use mobile-web works, we don’t need to re-write the application across different mobile phones.

The popular smart phone platforms in the market today are iPhone, BlackBerry, Android and Windows Mobile. Each of these phones have different development SDKs and APIs, which may not enable you to write one mobile application for a particular platform and run it on another. But proper design of the mobile application can reduce porting costs to multiple platforms.

We at Innodeas are committed to support any businesses or companies who wish to design and develop mobile applications.

Electronic Books from Google

2010-03-19T23:47:00.004+08:00

Another good news from Google. Google will soon be begin selling electronic books that people can read on any Internet-connected device including Apple’s iPad tablet computers or iPhones. Google will start an online digital book shop by the end of July and its virtual shelves will be stocked with in-print works with the permission of publishers owning copyrights. Books from Google and its partners would be available to any device that has a web browser, from smart phones and the growing number of e-book readers to personal computers.

Google books will be able to be read by Kindle readers but will also support the “epub” open standard format backed by the International Digital Publishing Forum and which many publishers now use. Google had earlier invited publishers to sell books for reading online. Advances in Web browser technology since then have made the plan feasible. This will bring a new competition in the market; Apple and Amazon each run online digital book shops.

Innodeas ready to build applications supporting Google's Electronics Books
Innodeas find this as a great opportunity to build mobile applications which can support easy reading and proper storing of these online books for Smart Phones in different platforms like Android, Symbian, iPhone, etc.

A great day for Innodeas

2010-03-12T10:52:00.000+08:00

It was a great day for Innodeas - 9th March 2010. Innodeas could print two new business cards to two new people who were willing to do the business development war for Innodeas! Thanks to both and welcome aboard.

At Innodeas, its a journey ...journey towards profitability through Innovations and Ideas. Welcome to this journey and wish and hope two of you can swim through very fast. You don't need to walk in to the office of Innodeas on the very first day, rather go around in Internet and locally to fish new Business for Innodeas. Thanks that Innodeas need not learn how to convert th individual's awkward, nerve-wracking first day into a pleasant experience that will get her excited about the new job. A comfortable person is a productive person, and nothing drives a company more than the hard work of those committed to it. Appreciate your heartful of support, even if you not in the rolls of Innodeas.

A common question regarding the business development function is: How do we know if we are doing well? The easy answer is to wait until the end of the year or till half of the year, and look at the numbers, but the question implies more immediacy: How do we know what today’s activity will yield in results tomorrow, or more specifi cally: Is what we’re doing today, enough? Managing business development for success begins with measuring it, and while there are no measurements that will accurately predict success across all dimensions.

Meeting with a Web Directory Publisher

2009-05-13T11:24:00.000+08:00

Yesterday evening I had an opportunity to meet a Web Directory Publisher named Singapore mirror. They explained all their options and packages so that I can be listed in their directory and the whole of Singapore and the entire World Wide Web will know me more.

They asked few things about me. Explained them that I am a Software Design and IT services company doing website design, application development and IT related projects.

Singapore Mirror was claiming that they have the perfect solution for my business needs. They added that they specialize in online advertising and is ranked 19th among the Most Popular Singapore Site in The Straits Times on 12 December 2008. (as per Nielsen Online). So I can also be proud that I will be listed in a Directory which is ranked high in Singapore?

They explained all different packages they add. They even design my page (half of A4 size) to be published in their site. I can send articles so that it will come on and off in their home page, which will also give boost for my name (INNODEAS) in Singapore. The lowest package price was more than SGD 500.00 for one year. I am not sure at this point of time whether I will be listed myself or not. Time will decide.

My Birth

2009-05-11T22:15:00.012+08:00

I was born after a long thought process. Hm mm...a long thought process?
Yes indeed. A lot of ideas and lot of things to trial out, but not a legal entity to play with. This was the status for long time. Finally it was decided to bring me up. First try was not successful, second also was unsuccessful (due to system maintenance at ACRA, Singapore). Third attempt ...yes I am out!

What is my name? Nobody asked that, Why?
Again that too was bit time consuming. It took almost three to four weeks to finalize my name. Main thing was lack of availability of a domain name matching my name Thanks to 3ix domain checker! This was also cross checked with the Name availability tool with ACRA (bizfile). It was decided to start the name with 'inno' - the decision was an innovative thing to spend time for days. Always biased with the word inno, mind don't go beyond that. Now the question was ...what should be the second name? ideas, techies, works, etc. Finally got the chance for ideas. What to do with the extra 'i' - the starting alphabet of the word 'idea' - something awkward pronunciation! Then it was decided to live without 'i'. Then my name was created - Innodeas (Innovative Ideas).

The official delivery was done by Suresh K. Thanks to Suresh! He had to do it thrice to get me out...good job! So that is about my birth - it happened on 2009 May 05. Innodeas was born! I was given a punch word - Innovative Ideas into Profitable Solutions.

More in my next blog. Visit me at http://www.innodeas.com/

I was given a new picture - to be shown to all as an identification mark! Can any of you guess what does this picture stands for?
