Social Media Founding Father Axel Schultze Shares Social Media Journey in Exclusive Radio Interview

Fort Lauderdale FL (PRWEB) October 18, 2010

Axel Schultze , one of the early advocates, users and experts in the social media space, will be a featured guest on ?RockTheWorld with LinkedIn? on WebmasterRadio.FM Monday October 18th at 7pm Eastern Time.

Hosts Mike O?Neil & Lori Ruff speak to Axel, who is also the founder of the Social Media Academy and founder and CEO of Xeequa, about his initial exposure to LinkedIn. Axel explains how he was approached to be one of the users of this evolutionary social media tool, and how he was encouraged to invite his pool of high-profile SiliconValley executives.

?Axel was the earliest of early adopters of LinkedIn and Social Media,? said O?Neil. ?Being in San Francisco in the earliest days, when the words Social Media meant nothing, offers amazing peek into the future. Axel was there then, he?s there now and he points to a future that you want to know about.?

Axel also fills us in on his current roles running the Social Media Academy, which provides education for business professionals from all industries on how to best apply social media to their respective organizations. He also tells us about the launch of his new Social Business Application called XeeSm, which allows you to list your links towards the several social networks you are on, the blogs you keep, your other connections to theme based networks and more.

?Openness is the number one driver to more functionality," Schultze said ?Today its LinkedIn where we have our contacts and then we have our business? At one point we want to connect those two. That blend of business and personal is probably the most significant change we will see in the next 10 years.?

Nobot Announced the ? Release of Appict.me, a Smartphone Application Promotional Service A Social Recommendation Service that Shares Applications Over the Social Graph

(PRWEB) June 07, 2011

Why Appict.me?

In March 2011, 1,500 new iPhone apps and 400 new Android apps were uploaded each day to their respective stores, according to DISTIMO*1. This indicates that just making an app available in the stores will not lead to further downloads, 69% of application developers feel that promoting their product is "difficult"*2. On the other hand, 71% of app users have downloaded an app based on word of mouth*3, meaning that users currently download more applications based on recommendations, rather than searching the huge inventory in app stores. ?In order to take the advantage of this, we released the Appict.me service, which promotes the applications by encouraging users to recommend it to everyone in their social graph.? says George Goda, the marketing director at Nobot.

Summary of ?Appict.me? http://appict.me/

Appict.me is a social recommendation service that allows users to more actively recommend smartphone apps to their friends and acquaintances in their social graph. With Appict.me's three main features, developers will be able to promote their apps easily by incorporating Appict.me into their apps.

1. Recommendations

App users are able to recommend apps in their social graph. App fans will actively spread words of their favorite apps to their friends.

2. Reports

The following entries are reported on the administration screen. App developers are able to browse these reports and analyze the utilization trend of their apps.

Number of recommendations
Number of times a recommendation was retweeted
Number of times an app was downloaded via a recommendation

3. Messages

Through reports, app developers can find users whose recommendations are the most influential ones and send messages or gifts to them as to signify their appreciation. Developers can give items such as fee-based apps and pay-as-you-go items in apps as a gift.

In conclusion, George stated ?we are considering to develop Appict.me under an open source license. We will continue to improve its functionality, expand its compatibility from twitter to other social media platforms like Facebook, to make it useful to as many developers as possible. We are also opening a forum for smartphone application developers, so please feel free to join us.?

Graphic Design Becomes a Social Event as ThePerfectDesign.com Launches the ?Share With Your Friends? Feature

(PRWEB) June 30, 2011

Choosing a new logo, website design, or other graphic design for your company can easily be the most enjoyable task a person has on their agenda. Something about talented artwork and marketing focus coming together to represent an exciting product is truly exhilarating. It is human nature to be enthusiastic about the marvelous new things in our lives. However, artwork can be frustratingly difficult to describe! When the latest thing someone feels passionate about is the new graphic design for their business, somehow words just aren?t enough. It is for this reason that ThePerfectDesign.com, a graphic design contest site, has just launched the new Share With Your Friends feature that is making their website stand-out amongst the competition.

Essentially, the Share With Your Friends feature allows an individual or business in the process of selecting custom graphic design work, the ?Contest Holder,? to create a poll and then invite their friends, family and/or associates to view the most exciting entries for themselves. After the click of a button to enable the feature, the Contest Holders selects the range of specific entries or submissions to their contest that they wish to include in the poll. The Contest Holder then submits them for polling to whomever they wish via email. (Valid email addresses for each polltaker are required). In a few simple moments, an enthusiastic Contest Holder rids themselves of the necessity of relying solely on words to describe the remarkable artwork being submitted, and also obtains feedback from outside sources whose opinion they value.

The Share with Your Friends feature offered by ThePerfectDesign.com is especially helpful in situations where the Contest Holder is not the sole decision maker for the firm or business that is purchasing the design work. A board of trustees, a shareholder group, a faculty department, or local PTA can all weigh in on the decision about the final product simply by casting their vote in the poll. They can also leave specific comments for each entry, helping the Contest Holder perhaps see strengths or weaknesses that they might have overlooked on their own.

In addition to enlisting the expertise of those invested in the outcome of the final purchase, a Contest Holder could also use the Share With Your Friends feature to poll a selection of the target audiences they intend to market to via the end-product graphic design. If they are searching for a logo, website design, or other graphic design intended to attract teenagers, it can be incredibly helpful to administer a poll to a group of teenagers via this feature. In this way Contest Holders can determine which design is most likely successful within a target demographic or market before they pay for it!

Using the Share with Your Friends feature, the Contest Holder can create multiple polls, even targeting them to different groups of acquaintances (business associates versus close friends). They can also administer simultaneous polls, perhaps to a wide range of varying demographic groups. The poll results include an average rating for each design included in the poll, as well as the commenting capability. ThePerfectDesign.com recognizes that acquiring quality graphic design work is one of the most exciting steps in the process of launching or revitalizing a product. Share With Your Friends is just one of many ways in which they strive to energize the process with fun, recognizing the truth of the old aphorism, that happiness shared is happiness multiplied.
