The Responsive Mobile Website Revolution

The mobile device revolution has started … are you ready? Is your business taking advantage? Is your website ‘responsive’?

So, is your website responsive and mobile-ready? According to recent research less than 19% of the world’s top 500,000 web sites are mobile-ready and that means you may already be losing business to those competitors who have already embraced this trend. Have you checked your web analytics recently? You’ll be amazed how your website traffic is increasingly being generated by mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads, BlackBerrys, Androids and other types of smartphone or tablet devices. In fact, by providing a satisfactory mobile experience, companies pave the way for clients to go on to purchase. A ForeSee Results’ survey found those who are satisfied with a mobile experience are 32% more likely to go on to purchase from that company online and 31% more likely to buy offline. It is also estimated that by 2013 more people will access internet using mobile devices than computers. So you could be losing potential customers if your website doesn’t provide a great user experience on a smartphone or tablet.

Making a decision to ensure your web site is mobile and m-commerce ready will ensure your customers can engage with you no matter what platform they use. Going mobile ready does mean business!

Making it happen for you:

Not only are all of the guys in this movie our snowboarding heroes, Travis Rice, Jeremy Jones, John Jackson and the rest but anyone who hasn’t seen the movie or the website should definately take a look.

If only everyone had the budget that Red Bull have, hey? Read more >>

The new Facebook News Feed: Love it or hate it?

Facebook users have had mixed reactions to the revamped News Feed the social network began rolling out Tuesday night. Instead of asking users to choose between ‘Top Stories’ and ‘Most Recent’ links, the new News Feed adjusts content based on the last time they checked it. Users who rarely log in, for instance, see top stories from their networks. More frequent users see recent content in chronological order. Facebook also changed the way photos are displayed in the News Feed, making them larger and more prominent.

The most drastic change to the News Feed concept is the addition of a news ticker. Above the chat column, users now see real-time updates from their networks. When they click items from the ticker, the content is brought up in a hover window and the user does not need to leave the page in order to interact with their updates.

Facebook’s News Feed now delivers top stories to you based on the last time you logged in. That way, if you haven’t logged in for a few days, you won’t miss important life events in your News Feed. Users can also adjust their News Feeds by marking or unmarking updates as ‘Top Stories’.

Recent opinions include: "I don’t need everyone to know what photos or comments I ‘Like’ and I don’t want to know that depth of other people’s communications, either" and

"I’ve been asking for a long time for a way to make sure I don’t miss the most important things in friend’s lives, especially those who don’t post often, while a long string of inanities from talkative friends scroll by"

We’d like to hear from more of you. Are you enjoying the latest changes or are you annoyed by them? As my mate Charlie always says "We Fear Change!"
