One thing that i really hate is to see flash banners dominating a web page. It seems sometimes companies are working only on the basis of getting as much as money possible from the advertisers rather than satisfying there customers.

In a time where even adobe admitted defeat in there “war” with apple some websites keep filling there pages with as much as 17 flash banners covering in that way most of the content. Unfortunately it makes me sad to see how greek sites like sport-fm.gr and many more are following the same technic just for some extra cash, forgetting with that way that they are earning money but in the long term they will loose customers.

I will not mention how bad that is in terms of SEO …after all i dont think they really care about that…  However, webmasters that decide to increase the number of flash banners should always think the result that this will have on there visitors. Do you really want to go to a site like that www.dailystar.co.uk or that www.telegraph.co.uk

Have it in mind!

Steve Jobs

Like the last few days to write an article about Steve Jobs. I understood that he died on where I put my computer to Google and I saw the Apple glad if the next date of birth and death.

The sadness I felt was big enough and did not know the main reason …

The same day saw many to lament his death and others to denounce as a man who was not anything special. Reading some messages on facebook some described him as an example of capitalism and a mere millionaire who you money and had not saved him from death …

But nobody ever admired him for the money he made …

Physical stress from before that Steve Jobs was not and will never be a saint. The founder of the iphone and ipad not found the medicine for immortality, and neither should compare with poets, scientists, writers, because it simply was not in the same field.

The Jobs in technology but has pioneered and brought products that nobody else could have imagined to do. In history there remain those who go along with the mob … but those who think differently and are struggling to support different ideas and one of them was Steve Jobs.

To tell the truth but not always the same man who knew the last 10 years, but went through several mutations can be the one who gave us all these products adored. But on the other so is the life … no one wakes up from one moment to another and says: “Now I create the iphone”.

These are made through several processes and numerous failures … and Jobs has failed several times to reach to become the man revered as a god. Many worship him because they say that was the idea of ​​the iphone … and ipad … OK if you want to believe it is their right.

But Steve Jobs was not what drew the ipad, neither he who designed the processor or the director of marketing at Apple. But was he who united all the brilliant minds working in the company of Silicon Valley and led me to think differently … to hunt the elusive … not be happy with just a good product but be satisfied only with perfection. Then if they are confident that they caught the perfect time to see how to pass.

Surely the world would be worse if not for the iphone or ipad or ipod but I think o Jobs will not be remembered as the man who just made a phone but as a man who led an entire sector to move more quickly due to offer best services worldwide.

Many now say that Google’s Android and Samsung phones are better than the iphone. Others think it would pull such numbers as fast as Google and Samsung if it had gone the iphone? Maybe yes, but probably not …

That was Jobs, a man who appears once in 100 years and raises the limit to a sector (industry / science etc etc) so that forces everyone else to run for them to follow him … and so pushes and around the world ahead.

For this I admire these people because it was a man in the field of technology-as-there are others in other areas was thinking differently and chased his beliefs.

Not just the one who made the iphone …

google-facebook

In the last few days…or maybe months I have been reading so many things about Google+ that you feel it’s the most important thing that is happening in the world.

Ok, I am working in the marketing sector and keeping up to date with everything is one thing that I must do in order to know what is happening in the world and keeping up to date with everything on my work.

When google +1 came I really thought it was a good idea, integrating social with the search rankings and showing the results to your friends. On the other hand +1 had a huge competitor like the FB like button and as it seems it hasn’t brought –yet – any serious changes.Nevertheless, the fact that Google openly said that the results would be inside the SERPS and you friends could see what you have +1 was something different and important for everyone.

So the Big G expanded and brought their own Social media site…Google + …and now everyone is thinking whether they need to start using something different than FB. A change is good from time to time…but will Google + offer you anything different from Facebook?

Well, until now as much as I am testing Google + cant say it is offering to me anything better than Facebook and any good reason why I should move all of my friends/pictures ..and online social life (if there is any term like that all) to Google +.

When Facebook came in it was the simplicity of the profiles and the applications that changed the whole game in my opinion that convinced almost the entire world to open an account to Mark’s Zuckenburg baby, I don’t see anything like that in google +.

Sure if you want to avoid most of the people that are in Facebook…your manager that you added because he send a Friends request, your ex-girlfriend or people that you don’t like, then yes Google + is for you. But other than that does it offers anything different?

I mean surely marketing people will be all over it, they will try to advertise over there and try to see if it will affect google rankings but normal people –customers, don’t have any real reason until now I think. Google + will eventually pick in the numbers and will have a good amount of registered users which isn’t really difficult if you think the amount of reach that Google has with its variety of products but I think it will need something completely different to pose a threat for Facebook..
