"Cloning" the Real world



I am on K Street shopping at Georgetown, i bring out my smartphone and take a picture, it then shows me pictures and posts of my friends that are around, not forgetting to give me their location.

Is that not cool?Yes i believe it is......Thanks to the new AR Technology

Today we can make use of our smartphones to locate places, people and things of interest using GPS which has a virtual map of the world.

This technology behind the virtual world is remarkable as it has brought a connection between the real and virtual worlds.It tends to simulate almost all aspects of life including love, sports, relationships, the universe and is applied in gaming, video, science, imagery, business etc.

This amazing technology is advancing but it is costly. On the other hand, it generates income.The AVATAR movie that came out a few weeks ago in 3D has gulped over $1.5billion in revenue.

This new generation technology would boost sales through advertisements and also provide customer satisfaction. Wouldn't you like to take a virtual tour to MARS or a yacht cruise to the Carri-bean islands?

The Youngest Charming CEO in the world

http://www.ceoofme.com/
I wondered why i had to cut my head off from this charming picture of mine??

I am the new CEO of Me.Inc a company motivated to offer professional and customer friendly services to the world.

Your Brand is the image of your product in the market

The whole idea of Branding is marketing your product or service. Branding is not easy as you must come up with a unique brand name to distinguish your product or service from the market. But, it all starts from a single step that you have to take.

As individuals you all have ideas and stuff i.e products and services to offer no matter how little, big, brilliant, ridiculous, smart, or funny it may seem to be. With the help of social networking tools and the web we can start branding and marketing our products and services ranging from apparel, restaurants, phones, business and accounting firms etc.

We all love rocking popular designer clothings and apparel on a daily basis like Gucci, Louis V, Polo, True religion, etc but would it not be nice someday if you see people patronising your brand?

The wonders of Smartphones



Smartphones of the 21st century have been of so much use and help most especially to the younger ones.

They contain varied applications and programs that help our everyday life and also helps business.

The GPS chips on these smartphones help us not to lose directions as well as locating the closest McDonalds to you when your hungry.....I like that!!!!

These smartphones help us do more than just send text and receive calls. They allow us to send photos, videos, emails etc as well as receiving them...isnt that Beautiful?

The war amongst the N900, Iphone, Blackberry and the HTC is on which side would you support?

Google + Facebook = ??????


Welcome back....!!!!>>>>
I heard about the latest Nokia phone that came out from a friend while chatting on Facebook, and the next thing i did was to go to Google to search for the Nokia N900 smartphone.

I think you would practically do the same if it were you. The Google search engine help potential buyers by providing them necessary information about a product.

The market the say is an interaction between people.

This is what Facebook capitalized on by coming up with the concept of people connecting with people.It provided the marketers spaces on their site to create pages and put ads which would attract the central connectors who if are impressed by the product viewed or used, spread the efficacy of the product to other friends of theirs who in turn tend to purchase the product.

Thumbs up Mark!!!!....Smart Kid

The duo of Facebook and Google should be applauded for this transformational step in advertising from the era of running up and down or moving from block to block trying to sell a product to the era of sitting on a comfortable chair and desk and posting ads about your product and making reasonable sales.

So what would you do as a marketer to promote your product?

The Internet; a Friend or Foe??


Take a closer look at this picture and answer this questions below...
1. Do you see the human face or the internet?
2. Does the face resemble yours?I am guessing the answer to this should be a big NO........

The internet should not be blamed for anything especially "dumb". It contains a lot of information which is meant for us to either accept or reject it based on our intuition or other sources. To a few like the Nobel laureate Doris, it does limit our reading of books and all but guess what there are books online which are not meant for fancy but for reading.

Humans are not dumb we just have different intepretations of situations and information. The internet gives us this lengthy menu and a variety of options. The world is moving at a fast pace and in a digital way, the emergence of the internet and the PC has brought about amazing and mind blowing discoveries. It is not DUMB!!!!!

Can you cope today without a PC, a Smartphone, an I-Phone or a Blackberry?

Crowdsourcing: Life Made Easy by Clicks and Keys

Welcome back to Emy's cool blog....Thanks for stopping by!!!

Imagine you have all the solutions to any sort of problem in this world and you don't share it with anyone. What do you think you have achieved The answer is NOTHING.

Remember the old cliche......"NO MAN IS AN ISLAND"......

The idea behind crowdsourcing is basically to share information with the globe, pose questions and hope to get answers from different perspectives and viewpoints. It is like going to a Big box, picking items you are interested or in need of, reshaping these items and making use of them when necessary and then dropping it back in the same box as it was, initially or an improved version with one's new ideas.

Gathering information, generating ideas and creating different ways to solve problems should be our motive when visiting Google or Wikipedia, we should look at it as some sort of "GUIDE".
Crowdsourcing should be at loggerheads with quite a few Professors at school because it can be related to the the famous "Copy and Paste" plagiarism technique.Life is really made easy for individuals by the CTRL Button and the C and V keys.
NB: Do not attempt as there are new ways discovered thanks to Crowd sourcing.

The goal of crowdsourcing is to encourage meaningful contribution and participation in shared interests and activities by everybody who has access to the Internet.

So when next you visit Google or Wikipedia, would you be scared to apply those shortcut keys or would you be ready to give your very own contribution to the community?

The "TwIsTeD" Face-Off between Reality and Facebook

The power of having a conversation with another person be it a friend or foe is strong. There is always a flow of information which could be rated as the good the bad and the ugly. The words that leave our lips could draw people towards us or drive them away from us........

Facebook is a means of communication; it can be said to be a virtual form of communication where you do not see the person face to face but still interact through chats, messages, pictures and videos. It is highly interactive and you get to locate friends and different people all over the world.

The facebook "virus" is the world's most deadliest virus cause it has affected all over 200million people globally and nobody seems to be bothered about the epidemic. i think i can make my first 911 call in a few weeks...."lol"

The bug has given people more control and access to a lot of shared information about others such as access to pictures, videos, applications, messages and wall posts on different stuff. I mean why not, when you can monitor a friend's daily activities on a regular basis, which may be impossible in the real world, resulting from the lack time and energy.

To conquer the real world, humans require some level of intimacy with another person. Someone to share serious moments, someone to laugh with, share sober moments with...just someone to be by your side. But the geographic, time and communications barriers make this difficult. So guess what?? Facebook saves the day. In our virtual facebook world, we can interact and share a lot of information and memories with the people we want to regardless of their location. Unlike our normal world, where you are limited to your sharing of information due to a number of factors and some personal issues.

Knowledge is key and i personally think the Facebook bug should be spread around the globe to bring this connectivity and information sharing because the world is a global village.
