Web Faceoff: Adobe Flash vs. HTML5

Posted by Nikos | Posted in General, SEO, Twitter | Posted on 23-02-2010-05-2008

Every week, we pit two web apps or companies against each other in our web faceoff series. In the past, we’ve put Android vs. iPhone, Digg vs. Reddit, and Windows 7 vs. Snow Leopard order to see which one was truly the people’s choice.

This week, we’re tweaking the competitors a bit. Over the last few weeks, you may have heard about a battle brewing between Adobe and Apple. It all started when Apple slyly revealed that the iPad would not support Flash.

This quickly broke out into a heated debate: Should we be abandoning Flash for HTML5, the new version of the web’s mark-up language that can support video, audio and more? Steve Jobs certainly thinks so.

Now with more people chiming in, we think it’s time to take the pulse of the people.

Which will eventually win out in the end: Adobe Flash or HTML5? Which is better for the future of the web? Do you think Apple has the muscle to take down Adobe’s widely used plug-in?

Make your choice in the poll below, which will close on Friday, February 27, at 12:00 p.m. PT. Then let us know your opinions on this matter in the comments.

SocialTALK Helps Businesses Diffuse Social Media Clutter

Posted by Nikos | Posted in General, SEO, Twitter | Posted on 12-02-2010-05-2008

Although many businesses are starting to embrace social services and networks to connect with potential customers, such tools are still by and large built for end users, not for businesses. That can make managing multiple social media accounts, moderating comments and scheduling posts difficult.

Syncapse launched its SocialTALK social media workflow tool this week, which is designed to help companies control their presence on different platforms, as well as monitor feedback.

Social management tools are slowly starting to become more relevant. ContexOptional, Vitrue SRM and Salesforce.com are all targeting this space in various ways. SocialTALK’s approach to it is to plug into various platforms that can all be managed from one dashboard.

Check out this video:

Right now SocialTALK supports Twitter, Facebook, WordPress and MoveableType. You can create new posts, moderate comments, schedule when posts go out and push the same content across to multiple networks at once.

The organizational features are great, but the features that have the most potential are the real-time analytics. We’ve discussed measuring social media ROI before and as we said then, finding trends and tracking them back to their point of origin is the key to measuring ROI.

While analytics aren’t going to do that for you, if you can get a real-time measurement of traffic, discussion points and comments as they relate to various social media campaigns — and if you can add in identifiers to track that data to either a transaction or other measurable goal — taking control of social media ROI becomes much less difficult.

How does your business manage its social network presence? Let us know!

Meebo Bar Adds Facebook-like Notifications to Your Website

Posted by Nikos | Posted in General, SEO, Twitter | Posted on 11-02-2010-05-2008

Meebo has added a Facebook-like notifications feature to the Meebo Bar.

The bar is an overlay that Meebo offers to website publishers that readers can use for instant messaging and other social activities. Now website owners can push notifications to readers regardless of where they are on the site.

The notifications pop up out of the bar just like in the picture we’ve included. They can be whatever the publisher wants them to be. The most obvious usage is to notify a reader of just-breaking news that they might not see if they’re not browsing the front page, but there are many other possibilities.

Meebo struck a deal with AdWeek, which will start using notifications immediately. That will give folks a way to see the bar in action when they’re thinking about whether or not they’d like to add it to their own sites.

The Meebo Bar is available to any blogger who uses Movable Type, Blogger, TypePad or WordPress — but not to bloggers who use WordPress.com as a host. Additional features like ad placement and custom IM networks are available through Meebo’s business channel. Meebo is more generally known for its web-based, multi-protocol instant messaging client.

Foursquare Beats Yelp and Gowalla in Reader Poll

Posted by Nikos | Posted in General, SEO, Twitter | Posted on 23-01-2010-05-2008

It’s been another exciting week here in our long-running Faceoff Series. We pitted three of the top “check-in” location-based mobile services against each other to find out which among them is the preferred choice for Mashable readers.

The results are now in, and we’ve got ourselves a winner: Foursquare takes the title! With 47% of the vote, the service beat out check-in newcomer Yelp with 26% of the vote. Coming in close to Yelp in third place was Gowalla at 20% of the vote, and a 6% tie ballot rounded out this week’s faceoff.

Are you surprised by the results? Do you feel another candidate should have been included in the check-in services poll? Let us know in the comments.
