Twitter or Whatsapp??
Twitter, the well known Internet company, may be interested in competing against the popular instant messaging service, WhatsApp.
Since the latest change made by the social network giant give the impression that they could be headed in that direction.
Twitter is a social network and a company that has seen major growth in the past few years, however, it has faced some problems when trying to break into other markets and obtain more profit through them.
Twitter’s advertising sales have not had results as good as Facebook’s, a social network that is much more widely accepted and used by audiences of all ages.
This is why Twitter may begin exploring other markets, such as instant messaging on cell phones.
This idea began to gain strength as it was repeated by different secret sources, and based on the latest changes to the social network, such as the new possibility of sending direct messages to any user without the need for this user to be following you.

It is still not known how this market would be approached. In addition, there are a great many competing applications that, without a doubt, have already staked their claim in this market. All of these existing apps would make Twitter fall behind in the minds of users and the general public.
A spokesperson for the company with the bird logo has talked to the media to try to quiet down these rumors, completely denying that the company is interested in breaking into this market. Even so, we know that these comments mean nothing to people, and that it could be just a message to calm down speculations and avoid interference in their plans.
We will see what the Twitter Company has in store for the future, and whether they really plan to jump into this market that has created so much competition. We cannot deny that the company has a great deal of capital and weight in a very large market, and that it could become an important competitor for other companies, and especially for WhatsApp.
If it will happen,which one will you prefer,Twitter or Whatsapp Messaging Service?

DONOCSO: Today marks the beginning of something great in FCT!!! #AbujaWebAppClub

How was the meeting and probably outcome,to sensitize people that were not there.I'm just reading about the meeting today.THANKS for the good work.

In 2016, social networking took on a whole new meaning and became a veritable beast, hard to tame. For those who share their personal life on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, or all of the above, the internet has made it possible for anyone to keep track of them and vice versa. With new social networking platforms appearing from behind every corner, it may be hard for one to decide where to commit time and resources. As 2016 comes to an end, it’s important to look ahead to where social networking is going, and how we can get on board.
Investment in social media will become a necessity


Arguably, investing time and resources into a social media strategy was a necessity in 2016 but it is believed that the tipping point in public sentiment from ‘should have’ to ‘must have’ will occur in 2017.
Businesses are already coming to terms with the need to integrate their social media efforts with their content strategy, and are seeing the impact of social media in terms of reach, referral traffic, and revenue. Seeing these very real and measurable benefits, there would be a change from social media tasks being assigned to existing employees to companies hiring social media strategists or full-time social media managers.

The benefits of social media are many and include company branding, improved brand awareness, and increased customer loyalty and trust. Social media is also one of the three pillars of SEO.



Google+

While Facebook continues to lead the pack in terms of number of active monthly users (1.15 billion at last count), Google+ is quickly gaining steam and now has the second highest number of monthly users (343 million).
With Google using the platform to collect personal information (demographics, location, etc.), Google+ should no longer be thought of as ‘just’ another social network. It’s increasingly proving itself to be an integral part of Google’s grand scheme in terms of SEO, social signals and providing a more personalised search experience. This is especially apparent with the growing importance of Google Authorship, which most likely would be one of the key components to Google’s search ranking algorithm by the end of 2014.
Businesses who are finding themselves spread thin with their social media efforts will increasingly turn to Google+ as the closest thing to a ‘one-size-fits-all’ social network.
As Google+ moves towards even greater integration with other aspects of the web – as they have already done with their foray into local search – its growth may skyrocket, both in terms of business and personal use. For information on how to start using Google+, read “Getting started with Google+”
Image-based networks will record huge success
There has been a consistent trend in 2016 toward sharing through image and video, rather than text-based content. Visual content will increasingly become a critical piece of any solid content strategy, and social networking site. Pinterest would lose its reputation as a ‘women’s only’ network and become an integral part of retailers’ marketing strategies.
Other image-based social media sites like Instagram, Slideshare, Tumblr, Path, and Mobli will continue to grow, and businesses will need to become more mindful of the ‘sharability’ factor of photos on their websites and blogs in order to derive significant benefit from their social media content marketing efforts.
Video-based social media (the rise of micro-video)
It seems as if writing 140 characters and taking three minute long videos is becoming too tedious for many internet users. Micro video to the rescue!
With the emergence of micro video apps like Twitter’s Vine and now Instagram’s video sharing feature, there is more movement toward real-time video sharing. And not just any videos; with Instagram allowing 3-15 seconds per video, and Vine allowing precisely six seconds, users are even more likely to create and share videos from their smartphones.
It would be interesting to see if and how these bite-sized pieces of content would change the playing field when it comes to video-based social media.

MySpace
With their radical makeover and re-branding efforts earlier this year, MySpace appears to be getting its second wind. Offering an iPhone app that allows users to network, receive private messages, and listen to their own personalized radio station, MySpace seems on track for growth in 2016.
MySpace may never again compete in the same space as Facebook or Twitter, but it would be interesting to see how the network grows among bands and music-lovers.

Nairaland ( http://nairaland.com )

Nairaland is the Nigeria No. 1 Forum website as at today. It's a Forum where you can get all forms of information and news(latest, recent and current). The tentacle of Nairaland has spanned to other part of Africa countries like Ghana, South Africa, Kenya etc. and the world at large.


LinkedIn
Still holding steady as the number one social networking site for professionals with 238 million users, LinkedIn is not just sitting on its heels. With the launch of its Influencers program, LinkedIn is positioning itself as not only another networking site, but as one of the largest sources of content creation and curation for professionals.

As it grows and attracts even more users, the advantages of being “linked in” will become enormous for B2B (business-to-business) marketers.
Foursquare will decline sharply
With stale traffic numbers, and significant difficulties raising capital in 2016, Foursquare continues to struggle its way towards 2017.
With other social networks like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter offering location-based features, it seems like only a matter of time before Foursquare folds and their users are absorbed into these other networks.

Facebook and Twitter
The two giants show no signs of imminent decline, but how they innovate to keep up with the growth of Google+ as well as image and video-based networks would be something to watch out for.
Facebook turns 13 in 2017 (has really been that long?); they will continue to focus efforts on mobile, and on offering advertisers opportunities to better target their ads. And while Twitter continues to be the golden child amongst B2B marketers, one is curious to see if and how the rise of Google+ would impact its market share.

Which social platform do you think we should be watching? Which do you think are on their way out? Share your views below.

rutchiekens:

http://ye5..com/

www.link2hub..com

I don't own any of those sites but because of what they did to the normal design I can never forget their names..



so please before starting site search blogger templates especially if you don't know how to design a blogger blog

Thank you for your contribution.Though not making any point but you are looking for a cheap way to promote your blogs while bringing other people's work down.Blogger doesn't has a single template and your are free to use anyone that goes with your work,which I have done.

Web sites consist of several Web pages linked with each other. Before creating Web pages for a Web site, you need to consider several factors such as, usability and efficie of the Web site. You can create Web pages by using software applications known as editors. Web pages are created using HTML code. Therefore, to create Web pages, yo need to have knowledge of HTML. HTML provides number of tags that can be used t create and format a Web page.
CONSIDERATIONS INVOLVED IN WEB PAGE CREATION
The success of a Web site largely depends on how effectively it addresses user requirements. Before designing a Web site, the developer should analyze the user expectations and the need for developing the Web site. A user accepts or rejects a Web site depending on how useful that site proves to be for the user.

As Web users come from varied demographical backgrounds, such as different age groups, genders, technical proficiencies, and Internet access methods, it is impossible to address all their requirements. Therefore, the designer should identify the target audien of the Web site and accordingly design the site. For example, a Web site for children should contain attractive colors, images, and sounds. Similarly, a Web site for busines executives should contain useful content and fewer graphics so that it is faster to download.

It is not always possible to know who the user is, which Web browser is installed on th user’s computer, and the speed of the user’s Internet connection. The Web site should designed in such a way that it is accessible to the maximum number of users. A Web s should have a user-friendly interface and an efficient data integration technique at the back end. The considerations involved in creating an accessible Web site are:

„ •Front-end considerations
„ •Back-end considerations


FRONT-END CONSIDERATIONS

The considerations concerned with the visual interface of a Web page are called front- considerations. The front-end considerations are:

„ •Interface design
„ •Design standards


INTERFACE DESIGN

The visual interface of the Web site is important because it develops interest in the user to navigate through the Web site. Another important issue that needs to be considered is the name of the Web site. The Web site name should be interesting, meaningful, and easy to remember. This helps in gaining and retaining the attention of the user.

DESIGN STANDARDS

Before designing the Web site, the client requirements should be understood. The client can be an individual, a company, or any organization that approaches a Web designer or a team of designers to create a Web site. For example, wholesalers would develop a Web site to display and sell all the available products online. Similarly, a university would develop a Web site to increase awareness about the courses offered, admission process, and examination details to attract more students. Repeated interaction with the client and conducting surveys in the client organization gives a better understanding of requirements. This helps you to meet the client’s requirements and standards, while designing the Web site. Images, graphics, logos, symbols, and colors used in the Web site must be consistent with the client’s design principles. The following points should be kept in mind while designing the Web site:
•Objective of the Web site
• Target market of the client
• Sales strategy followed by the client
•Technologies used by the client and the target audience
•Media used by the client.

BACK-END CONSIDERATIONS

In addition to the interface design, features such as faster download of Web pages and easy accessibility of back-end databases also enhance the user’s interest in the Web site. These considerations are called back-end considerations, which should be taken care of, while designing a Web site. Some important back-end considerations are:
•Bandwidth
•Download time

BANDWIDTH

Bandwidth can be defined as the rate of data transfer over a network connection. Bandwidth is measured in bits per second (bps). A Web page usually contains references to other Web pages, files, graphics, and images. Therefore, whenever a user downloads a Web page, all the references of the Web page are also downloaded. Because the size of graphics files is usually large, the user would require more bandwidth to download a Web page with references to large graphic files. Therefore, you should make judicious use of graphics and images while creating Web pages.

DOWNLOAD TIME

The download time of a Web page depends on the file size and the speed of the user’s network connection. The larger the file size, the more time it takes to download the Web page. Although the size of an HTML document is small, it takes a long time to download, if it references many files. This is because the total size of the file increases when it includes all images and other programs referenced by the Web page. In addition to the file size, the speed of the Internet connection also affects the download Time of the Web page. Therefore, you should calculate the estimated download time of the Web page by testing the Web page in a real-world setting and make the required changes accordingly.

Many cultures throughout history understood that certain colloids - solutions in which one substance is evenly dispersed throughout another substance at the microscopic level - contained important medicinal properties. After all, if a certain substance possessed proven healing properties in its natural state, then its colloid form - which increases its surface area and absorption levels - would naturally intensify those properties.

Below is a list of three popular colloids available today and the conditions they're renowned for treating. Though most people are probably familiar with colloidal silver, the other two might be new to you.
Colloidal silver - Infections of all kinds
Silver's antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties have been cherished for centuries. In fact, many ancient people, such as the Persians and Babylonians, preserved their water by placing it in silver vessels. It wasn't until the early 20th century, however, that silver in its colloidal form achieved prominence as a medical aid.

Colloidal silver's greatest benefit is its ability to prevent bacteria from reproducing in our bodies, ultimately eliminating them completely. If you're suffering from a cold or stomach flu, for instance, then taking a few teaspoons of colloidal silver per day will help fight the infections. Additionally, colloidal silver can be used topically. If you have a sore or fungal infection on your foot, simply apply the silver to the affected area. If you have an infection in your ear, you can add silver droplets directly into it. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a single infection that colloidal silver cannot treat; it's even been known to kill superbugs.
Colloidal gold - Cognitive dysfunction
Despite being relatively unknown compared to colloidal silver, colloidal gold - fine gold particles suspended in water - is just as valuable from a medicinal standpoint. Its purpose, however, is completely different. Unlike colloidal silver, which treats exclusively physical conditions, colloidal gold helps eliminate brain fog and other cognitive issues.

Studies have shown, for instance, that long-term consumption of colloidal gold can improve IQ. According to a study published in the Journal of Frontier Sciences, subjects who ingested 30 mg/day of colloidal gold over a one-month period displayed a 20 percent increase in IQ scores. This research reinforces the claims of individual users who often report that long-term colloidal gold consumption seems to have a "defragmenting" effect on the mind, leading to improved memory and concentration. One study published in the Pharmacognosy Research journal even discovered that gold nanoparticles are effective antidepressants that can lift people from low moods.
Colloidal oatmeal - Skin conditions
Oatmeal has been used since time immemorial as a skin cleanser and soothing agent, and science now understands why: oats are rich in beta-glucans, which are polysaccharides that can stimulate collagen deposition and reduce skin inflammation. Unsurprisingly then, oatmeal colloids - which have been commercially available since 1945 - maintain these benefits.

Unlike colloidal silver and gold, which are ingested orally, colloidal oatmeal is usually added to baths so that it can penetrate our pores and draw toxins from the skin. Skin conditions it is known to treat include eczema, psoriasis, sunburn, acne, diaper rashes, poison ivy rashes, chicken pox and many more. Oatmeal colloids (especially those sourced from organic, gluten-free oats) also possess considerable nourishing and rejuvenating properties, meaning that even people without skin conditions can benefit from them.

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION

SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO) is defined as the techniques and tactics used to increase the amount of visitors to a website by obtaining a high ranking placement in the search results page of a search engine e.g Google,Bing, and Yahoo etc.

WHY SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION?
The importance of creating a website is for people to access your website and the content on your website,but it as being proven that up to 80% of traffics to most websites come from the search engine like Google,Yahoo,Bing etc.Users may not actually know about your website or the URL(Uniform Resource Locator) of your website but when they are searching for a particular topic on the search engine say like Google,if what they are searching for is related to your website the search engine brings up your web page,the user clicks on the link and get to your web page.

But now think of it that when a user searched for a topic that relates to your web page, the search engine brought up like ONE MILLION results and your own website was on number ONE THOUSAND OF ONE MILLION that is on PAGE ONE HUNDRED of Google search engine.Do you ever imagine any user will click from page one to page ONE HUNDRED?NO,even you yourself can not do it because there is no time to waste.The highest page a user can try to get to on any search engine is page two or three out of thousands of pages brought up by the search engine.Because of this reason every website owner will always want his/her website to be on the first page of the search engine results or at worst on the second page.The techniques and tactics that they use for their websites to be on the first or second page of the search engine results is what we called SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION.

SEO COMPANIES provide SEO services using different SEO tools.Some of them offer free SEO promotion while you need to pay for the SEO services of some of these SEO companies
