Beyond Social Network Marketing

Categories: News

We’ve seen the rise of social networks all over the world. Each country has its preferred social network site and each site has its unique features. The thought that web presence is no longer limited to the corporate website is becoming common sense between internet marketing professionals. It is necessary to sail into the new waters of social network sites. And no, I’m not talking about simply having a company profile or group, that’s also important, but now you can benefit from the open developing platform many of these social networks are offering, and the ones who don’t are deemed to fail. By letting you create specific applications to run on their environment they give developers the chance to reach people and spread their apps in a viral form. In exchange they’ll share their users information with you. These applications lets users access your services from within the social network.

What you need to ask yourself is: “What can my site offer to social network users?”

There are already a lot of applications and many of the companies using this strategy are pulling great results. If you really want to expand your business reach you should seriously consider creating an application related to your website or service.

Free Gallery Scripts

Categories: Professional

Hi,

I am working on a website with a gallery on it, I checked for a few and here are the coolest ones I found, in my opinion. I needed something easy to create multi-galleries which also offered transitions and some other cool effects. Of course I was looking for a free alternative. Open-source rocks! I always look for scripts using Ajax and Mootools because they are light and have great visual effects. But since nobody knows it all and in order to make this list more efficient, I’d like YOU to make recommendations, I will add them to the links.

  1. SmoothGallery 2.0 - Allows you to have a set of galleries. This feature alone made me select it, because we will need a multi-gallery website.
  2. Webtwo Ajax SlideShow - It let’s you zoom the freaking picture!! It adds a real professional look to your website..
  3. (E)2 Photo Gallery Made With Mootools - I almost chose this one for the second section of the website. It has a cool slider under it.

My First Post.

Hi,

This one is just to break the ice. I will use this blog to talk about my past and current work experiences. Here I will let the world know about the latest web trends, cool scripts, plug-ins, components, the projects I’m working on or whatever I think is worth mentioning. In order to get all the information organized I will create a few categories. I think I will start with News, Professional and Personal. This is going to the News section. :)
