WP Droid App is okay for v.1.0

No Comments

I had to edit the image. Left justify and shrink it to fit better on the post.

WordPress has just released their Android app. I am writing this post with the app. The app has basic functions like bold, italic, link, and block quotes. You can add images, tags, categories. A great tool to write drafts, but shown here, I would not publish posts. You still need to do the SEO thing and other tasks from a browser.

Still, all-in-all, I have been waiting for WP to come out with this app. Based on how WP has improved, this app is only going to get better with time. Nice job and thank you.

David Gumpper’s YouTube Video Channel

No Comments

Hi all, Another family post while researching the YouTube custom player. As I upload video to my YouTube channel, they will automatically display on the player for this page. The first video to be shown on my channel are pictures (not very good pictures to say the least. Yes, I will keep my day job), from our trip to St. Petersburg, Florida with my brother Andy and his wife Amita. I like the pictures of Evan at the end.

The video was generated by loading the pictures into Google’s Picasa and selecting the option to make a movie. For better quality, there is a button on the player next to 360p, click on that and change it to 480p. What a difference it makes in the video quality.

The use of video on the Internet has become a prevalent component of web content. No kidding! But, there is so much video available for consumption in the SERP’s, careful attention towards specific video SEO strategies must be adhered too. The following are basic recommendations to help your video content rise to the top in the SERP’s and reach consumers.

1.  Sitemaps are your best friend.

Mobile Commerce Momentum Emerges.

No Comments

Business Week article today on “M-Commerce’s Big Moment” reminded me of an essay paper I wrote three years ago for an E-Commerce class. The essay was about how the mobile commerce was like the Wild West for consumers. The Business Week article points out some of the same hurdles for m-commerce as I did three years ago. Is m-commerce as a market going to be viable? As usability, security, and infrastructure concerns are met and new business models are developed as shown in the Business Week article, mobile commerce has nothing but an upside. Mobile commerce emerges out from the Wild Wild West.

Mobile Commerce: The Wild West of Commerce

October 2006

Just as the Wild West in the 1800’s and the era of Electronic Commerce (e-commerce) required the landscape to be tamed for consumption by consumers, Mobile Commerce (m-commerce) must wield its’ way to find the same practical solutions to garner consumer acceptance and realize substantial growth. The capability of m-commerce reaching the same market penetration as e-commerce is going to require Read the rest of this entry »

Twitter Is Over CapacityHere we go again. Today, Twitter has had severe problems with service. I’ve received the dreaded “Twitter is Over Capacity” message. I have also received Server 503 errors. So, either there is big news out in Twitterland or the scalability issues TechCrunch reported on a couple of weeks is beginning to have an effect. I am going with the later.
