Marketing and social media trend setters of 2011 and what we can expect in the year 2012

 

top technology marketing brand trends of 2011 and for 2012

The top trend setters, Power house websites and applications in 2011 were:

 What they achieved and what we can expect from them in the year 2012:

Top trend setters:

Google Android: We saw the globe going gaga over the rich sweet OS treats offered by Google Android in terms of Éclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and so on. Google Android with its open source and scores of free apps, made its presence felt more with the launch of Gingerbread and that was coupled with Samsung’s ample choice of smartphones and tablets powered with Android OS. It has over 85% of its users now upgraded with Android 2.1 and 3.1 OS.

Facebook: The ‘F’ word. Facebook still remains as the top social networking site with over 700 Million users and sure enough, we are looking ahead at an early Billion user milestone mark this 2012.

Twitter: This site which was started merely as a social bookmarking tool or site, now is looking to be a threat to the mighty facebook too. Twitter crossed the milestone of users now sending over 200 Million Tweets per day and with the amazing platform now reaching to over 100 Million active users, the little bird was simply trending across the globe.  With its all new Activity stream, available across more countries and in many more languages, addition of TweetDeck, integration of tools for Sharing photos, videos and more content from popular streams across, Twitter will be the site to watch out for brands and users across the globe.

Foursquare: Foursquare set a record of Billion Check-ins in 2011.  That, further boosted with its user base now growing over 10 million people,  this location – based check-in site made it clear to the world ‘when it comes to geo target or location based application, foursquare rules the lot. (Foursquare Interesting infographic )

Google Plus: The much awaited Google Plus was launched with more anticipation than probably any other news with a frenzy of users paying scores of dollars for getting an “Invite” into Google Plus. Though the initial rush has eventually seemed to settle down with many users opting to stay a little bit longer with facebook than jump on to the G+ wagon, this power site of Google will surely add up some amazing surprises for brands, marketers and users across in 2012. Especially with the One+ button going live across search engine for users to use the tool and popularize real-time content streaming.

LinkedIn: In early quarter of 2011 LinkedIn crossed the 100 Million members mark and its looking better than ever. With its IPO soaring  and creating the most amazing financial buzz around,  it is a site to look out for. With its newer features of Live news, popular stories and more, professionals across the globe want to be a part of this amazing network. Lot is riding on it this year and if the past experience is anything to go by, 2012 will be a year of positive updates and surprises for LinkedIn users across the globe.

WordPress: WordPress crossed the 50 Million mark in 2011 and this popular Blogging platform now empowers over 70 Million sites (70,112,513 WordPress sites across the Globe.) With its ease of use and flexibility for users to add their own codes, app integrations and widgets, we wont be surprised to see it cross the 100 Million mark this 2012. With more and more bloggers and readers around the world, WordPress seems to be an obvious and unanimous choice.

Instagram: With over 150 Million photos, this site seems to be raging with creative and rich content in terms of “captured moments’ which are shared by users every second. Its easy to use, very  fast and empowers users to express themselves amazingly. This app would be a game changer in terms of rich media content sharing especially for pictures and we would not be surprised to see picture editing and effects features integrated more with the instagram apps in 2012.

YouTube: This video stream site turned Five in 2011 and with that it achieved a remarkable milestone of over 3 billion videos viewed a day.

Do we need to say why it’s going to make more eyeballs move on your computer screen in 2012. Keep watching.

 Most important points for BRANDS:

  • Its very clear. The year 2012 will be the year of RICH CONTENT (Pictures, Videos, Pods & more)
  •  With Brands understanding more clearly about social media quotient analysis and Consumer responses, metrics, the year 2012 will be about “BEING at the right place (Being present only in social sites where the brand and products presence really matters) at the right time.
  •  2011 was the year of smartphones. While that can only see an uptrend, 2012 will be the year of Tablets across users. The fight between Apple’s iPad and Samsung Tablets will see a much stronger and more varied availability of tablets from other major players like Blackberry, Motorola, HP too.
  • 2012 will be about real-time content streaming and data sharing with users that are genuinely useful to them and will add value to them on a daily basis.

Who will win:

  • BOTTOM-LINE: Brands that can capitalize on giving Spontaneous responses to their in-house marketing teams or external agencies will only be able to capitalize. There will be no time for “Delayed responses” this 2012.
  •  It’s all about bringing together Marketing and Branding strategies with technology that the user is comfortable with for that particular brand, product and services.
  •  Detailed social media analysis, combining various digital strategies like viral marketing, keyword and SEO optimization, Creative Content writing, Online PR Campaigns, will need to go hand in hand with the brands campaigns across social sites like Facebook, Google Adword campaigns and social bookmarking and real-time content and trends streaming across power tools like Twitter.

Do share with us your views, suggestions and comments on “How YOU see the strategies, newer trends and social media marketing-technology integrating in terms of going social will evolve in the year 2012?

Have a wonderfully social year ahead.

Google Plus: Review

 Google Plus Special Invite

I love technology and I always have got my hands on every possible tool, gadget and apps as early as I can. All that I was looking out for, from the first week of July was the awesome “Google Plus” invite like millions across.

Finally I managed to get my hands on an elusive Google Plus invite.

All I wanted to know was:

So is it the next big thing? Can it compete with facebook? And most importantly is it better than facebook?

Let’s check it out.

(The Profile pics and names are Blurred to protect their privacy)

  • The Welcome Screen
google plus welcome screen 

As soon as you login you are presented with a very clean looking “Welcome screen” that makes every Google user feel just right at home.

And yes, you do need a Google email login to sign in, that is of-course after you have got your Special Google Plus Invite.

google plus special invite

Once you enter the welcome screen, you can watch a video to find out more about the different features like circles, hangouts & sparks or alternatively complete your profile or add get down right to business as in Add Your CONTACTS to the simply superb “circles feature”.  I just loved using the drag and drop feature with Google circles.

Google Plus Top Bar

The bar at the top gives you easy access to the other google services like gmail, orkut, Google docs etc & also your notifications. Below that you have shortcuts to your Home, Photos, Profile & Circles.

The left panel helps you to navigate easily among your various circles & also has the proprietary google chat.

 The right hand panel has a summary glance of the people in your circles along with the option starting a hangout & sending invites to your contacts.

  • Stream

The stream is akin to your facebook news feed. It shows you the various updates by other people. You can comment, share or alternatively ‘+1’ it which is the google + equivalent of a facebook ‘like’. You must this “+1” button next to all Search results on Google offlate.

Google Plus stream

  • Photos

Clicking on Photos takes you to the various pictures uploaded by the people in your circles. You can filter them by selecting photos from your phone, photos of you or your albums.

A small bubble at the top right corner of the picture shows you the number of comments. On clicking on any picture it goes to a theatre mode similar to that of picasa.

google pics comment bubble

We all are aware of the painful scroll function in the Facebook picture viewer, but Google Plus has made it gorgeous.  

And the picture viewer works quite fast too. The comments are shown in the right hand pane. So no more getting bogged down to scroll all the way to see the long list of comments on the thread just to read say “nice pic”.

google plus photo viewer

Also the photos taken from your phone can be uploaded to a private folder. The coolest function in the PICTURE upload section is “you get to upload pictures without the hassle of selecting one file after the other. That’s right, you can drag your mouse over multiple files in your Computer folder, Drag and release them on the “Drag photos here” screen of Google Plus.

Another neat feature is when you move your mouse over any album, it gives you a peek into the album. Sweet! You can link your picasa album here too. Make sure your Picasa settings are moderated from your end.

 

  • Profile

google plus profile

The profile is very similar to the facebook wall. It shows the various posts, the people in your circles, people who have you in their circles & so on. The interesting part is things that you ‘+1’ on the web are shown in a separate section. So that reduces the clutter & you can focus on stuff that people have shared.

  • Circles

Google Circles easy drag and drop

This is something new. Basically you create a group & add people to it. No, wait, there’s more to it. Now you can have a drink on a weekday you’re your friends or party with your college buddies, post, share it and still keep it away from your Boss who is also part of your Google Plus profile, but not in the circle with whom you have shared the pictures. So, it allows you to share stuff “specifically” with that group only. This is not just limited to keeping your pesky boss at bay, but also for creating like-minded individuals groups internally to have discussions, posts, pictures, links etc too. Like for eg. If you are an Android geek, add all those Android fans to a group called Androids. Now you can share all Android related stuff only with them without exposing your nerdy side to your other friends. Whenever you share stuff in your stream, it asks you which circles you want to share them with or all of them which is basically the ‘public’ mode. And creating circles is simple two step process. Create a circle and drop your friend in it. And you are ready to go!

  • Sparks

google sparks

Sparks basically lets you select any specific interest of yours and allows you to stay updated on it. Like I have added ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ to my sparks list. Now next time instead of searching for it, I just click on my sparks link. Voila! All the latest news with a single mouse click.

  • Huddle

Huddle is a mobile app aimed at group chat. For eg: You want to plan a movie with friends tonight, but can’t get them together in one place. You create a huddle and add your friends to it, either from your circles or individually. Once your friends accept the invite they are included in the “huddle” Each can text his availability, you can decide on the movie & even plan on the restaurant to hang out at after the movie!

  • Hangouts

Been saving the best for the last! Hangouts is the best & the most awesome feature of Google +. Similar to a huddle but with video involved, you can conference with up to 10 people! The video focuses on whoever speaks the loudest, or if it’s too disorienting you can click on any one user to focus on.

You can open a text chat window at the side, mute any person or even open a youtube video to discuss it.

Facebook did launch a video calling feature recently. I was among the first persons to install the plug in and try it out. Unfortunately when I logged in the next day, it prompted me to install the plugin again. And again. And again. Also you can only have a one on one video chat. Comparatively Google Hangouts requires you to install the google video & voice chat plugin, which most of the features using gtalk already have installed. It only improves upon their earlier version of gtalk & integrates the group calling function into it. This effectively kills the need for skype (ironically which is powering facebook’s video chat).

Conclusion: 

Google Plus is definitely a mighty contender to facebook.

  • The only disadvantage I found, being on Google Plus is this: “There are too few users on the site.” But I guess, even that can’t be a legitimate grouse as it is still in beta and I remember how few invites are still being shared across.
  • Hopefully when it exits public beta we will have a lot more users embracing it.
  • But even then, it will be extremely difficult to topple facebook from the social networking throne simply because of the sheer number of its subscribers.
  • Also Google Plus is still in its nascent stage and it isn’t prudent to have such high expectations from it. But this is a good time for social animals as all this competition can only mean many more game changing events in the future.
  • The power of Facebook rests mainly in the scores and millions of apps that are part of the superb social site that revolutionized website and social networking globally.
  • With Google’s Android, Google Search, YouTube, Picasa, AdWords, Blogger, Gmail and so on, the integration of power apps would be a much easier.

As I let time to decide on which Social site will create more buzz, let me have a blast with both for now as I keep exploring the features from Beta site – Google Plus.

Lots more to come, stay tuned with me here.

Do let me know what you feel about this social networking site from Google – Google Plus.

Would love to hear your experiences and comments too.

Keep sharing, reading and commenting.

Priced at approximately Rs.10,500/- the light on wallet and easy to use and handle Android phone comes with a lovely 2.8 inch QVGA screen with some useful pre-loaded applications.

We have so far tested it with Foursquare, Google Maps, Twitter, Facebook Gowalla and it seems to be working fine with a few tweaks needed to begin with while setting it up.  (Connect with Us on the Links)

Its not easy to configure the GPRS and rest of the stuff with your carriers in India who seemed to be poor on brand know-how but with the team at Dell known for their customer response time, it becomes a much easy task. Would quote a special thanks to Mohan D (Dell Consumer Team) &  Pramesh G (Dell Consumer Sales) for helping us with our queries too.

Advertising & Marketing: Impacting with the Social & Digital age

Social Digital Media Advertising

New age Media Advertising

The nature of consumer engagement today is radically changing. Focus on specific program initiatives, pre-defined goal oriented plans and working across media to customize and get integrated reusable and utility based digital and traditional content for the end user (Customers, Audience, Stakeholders etc) is the core today.

Advertising and marketing have grown and matured over the years. The idea has become more than clear that sticking on to traditional media or at the same time, pushing the new age media to ‘purely sell’ is not going to get the marketer even an ounce of value addition or brand equity.

Value addition for the clients can be in terms of higher market penetration, better product positioning, increase in volume sales and volume market growth. The need here is to shift from a pure marketing oriented approach or a selling approach to connecting with the consumer by humanizing your brand with higher quality services and being an active part of today’s powerful communication prism across the globe.

When we talk about the needs today, the consumer has ideas that he is looking forward from his product. Similarly the audiences have expectations from their services to go beyond providing what’s been promised. In such cases, consumers are the main open source to get insights about what the market needs, to touch that common nerve appeal.

So let’s grow beyond simply advertising and marketing to a new world order of conversation prism by focusing across channels based on market, insights and need.

The idea to begin with, in this new age digital content era is to be where your consumer today is.

So keep conversing and stay connected.

Let us know of your views on the same.

They have the web at their disposal.

They have the technology and the thinking.

They have the cast,  crew and their ever loyal followers.

No wonder they have all the buzz too.

The google wave caught one and all with it’s amazingly equipped features (Click to read – ‘Google Wave Part1 & Part2’).

Now the new buzz has plenty of features integrated too. The likes of Twitter applications and the many core features of today’s social messiah, Facebook too are integrated into the buzz.

To start with, the millions of existing gmail users are already a part of the buzz. The idea as quoted by the Vice President of Google for product management Mr.Bradley Horowitz behind the buzz was to blend the two core of any social connect today, sharing and that too in real time. The features allow you as an individual and as an entrepreneur to use the buzz of social media to the core to connect with your peers and friends in real time.

Core features:

Auto Following – Connect with the existing millions of your friends and connections from GMAIL

Integrate with your Inbox and share pictures and videos and receive real time comments

Connect with your sites too.

Twitter like comments and feeds are posted and also one can send messages by sending a “@individual” accounts too. Biggie here being no 140 character limit and one can post feeds or messages including images etc. and tag it as part of the gmail reply feature too to connect and reply in real time.

Flickr, Picasa, Youtube Videos share and other pictures are shared easily.

Create a group of your own set of contacts and post updates, your own content, news and messages to them. Respond, interact and get responses like “Likes / Comments” instantaneously.  Gather your feedback and respond on the go.

One can integrate it with your phone through ‘Google Mobile’s Website’ – use “buzz.google.com”.  Once done, users can post through voice recognition, place pages can be integrated with geo tags and all in real time. With this Google has added another catchy feature of knowing what those “geotagged” nearby people are talking about by using the nearby feature on your phone.
