You may not be familiar with the name Travis Kalanick. He’s the CEO of Uber, one of the major players in the “Ridesourcing” craze. The idea is that if you need a lift somewhere, you download Uber and place an order. One (and possibly several) of Uber’s legions of drivers will send out a response, indicating their availability and rate.

Should you be gearing up to take advantage of T-Commerce? If Twitter has anything to say about it, the answer to that question is a resounding “Yes”. In an attempt to gain profitability, Twitter is rolling out a number of new products and services which will allow businesses to sell products from within the context of a Tweet.

If you are a small or medium business, and especially if you are a recent start up, the subject of being paid is one which should be on your mind all the time.

A sale is not a sale until the money is in the bank; until that time, it’s just a nice possibility.

Twitter, it seems, is in a bit of trouble. Whether true or not, the growing sentiment is that Twitter is losing the social media war to Facebook. Increasingly, the two are seen as competing in the same spheres, even though their application and use patterns are quite different.

Unless you’ve been living under a very large rock, you are no doubt aware that Facebook is the largest social network on the planet. Likewise, you probably also know that not long ago, Facebook began monetizing their business by selling ads. Since they started down that road, their system has matured with surprising speed as they’ve sorted out what works and what doesn’t, and added features to their admin dashboard so that those who run ads can get up to the minute feeds informing them in various ways about how their campaigns are working, and what ads are most effective.

It seems that every year, brick and mortar retailers get an earlier and earlier start on the holidays. That same thinking and planning is now spreading to the online world as well. Business men and women are getting an increasingly early start on their holiday plans when formulating and executing their social media plans.

For those of you who are unaware (and can there be anyone on the planet who isn’t?) Apple have just recently released two brand-new iPhones; The iPhone 6, and the iPhone 6 Plus.

With new iPhone releases happening pretty much every year we have to ask ourselves, how is this iPhone better than the previous one? That’s not all though, as we also have to determine which of the two new releases would be best for us.

In the past, access to feature rich phone systems for businesses was reserved only for the largest of businesses. These systems have historically been very expensive to purchase and maintain so only businesses with the deepest pockets could afford them.

If you have ever lost or forgotten your email password, you know what a nightmare it can be to get back into your account. In order to do so, you’ve got to have either a secondary email tied to your main account, or a valid cellphone number. For this reason, it is essential that you keep your information up to date in your email profile.

With the release of the iPhone 6, Apple has proved decisively that it is still at the top of its innovative game in the post Jobs world. This assessment does not come after a careful review of the new iPhone itself, which is more of an evolutionary step forward than a revolutionary, but rather, it’s based on one of the components embedded in the device, namely, the payment system.
