Bigi launched a new drink, it's called the bigi tamarind, have tasted it and it taste very nice.

Now aside from the fact that this taste good. It also comes with a lot of nutritional benefits. The polyphenols in tamarind have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These can protect against diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes. The seed extract may also help lower blood sugar, while the pulp extract help you lose body weight and reverse fatty liver disease.

Tamarind is high in many nutrients, for example magnesium, potassium, iron, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3 and it also contains 6grams of fiber, 3 grams of protein and 1 gram of fat. This comes with a total of 287 calories, almost all of which are from sugar. Despite it's sugar content, tamarind pulp is considered a fruit, not an added sugar- the kind that is linked to metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. It also contains polyphenols, which are naturally occurring plant compounds that have health benefits many of them act as antioxidant in the body.

Anyways has anyone tasted the new bigi tamarind what do you think about it let me know.

Every content creator, especially one hoping to become an influencer, knows that strong numbers are the gateway to social media popularity. While content is still king, fame on the internet is only possible with the right numbers, and getting to that point is a growth process and as it is often said, you can only grow what you measure.

This phenomenon is why analytics has become a must-have component for every social media platform, offering users an insight into how their posts perform; which kind of posts get more engagement and which don’t get any at all, which user segment gives them the most engagement and who isn’t part of their audience.

In a bid to measure all of these, users often have to rely on 3rd party apps or move from one social media app to the other, looking through a lot of numbers, sometimes not knowing what the most important metric should be or how their numbers stack compared to those of social media users they admire.

Recently, Plaqad, a marketing technology firm from Lagos launched a social media ranking tool called SocialCred, which takes a slightly different approach to measuring social media numbers.

SocialCred is a web app designed to rank a user’s influence across 3 major social media networks - Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube. The app combines measuring the usual metrics such as engagement rate and the number of followers, with ranking them, as a way of putting those numbers into perspective and making them more tangible. Everyone who uses the app gets assigned a rank simply based on the app’s four key data points.

Number of Followers
Although many users on social media now adopt fraudulent ways to increase their follower count, it is still a very important metric that brands look at when choosing content creators to work with. This is because it determines the potential direct reach that a content creator has. Once a social media account on any of the three platforms SocialCred measures is linked, the app accurately shows what the follower or subscriber figure on the account is, down to the last number. Rather than the usual abbreviated number that is shown on most social media apps, SocialCred shows the numbers in full, no estimates. Having a way to show how many of those followers are really active might be the only thing missing from this metric.

Average Audience Sentiment
With this data point, the SocialCred platform seems to make up for the lapses of its follower count. The audience sentiment measures how a content creator’s social media audience reacts or is most likely to react to their posts. SocialCred presents this in percentages divided into 3 segments; positive, neutral, and negative. This metric is great as it provides a content creator with the right insight into the minds of their followers and answers the question of whether they like what they share or not. Not everyone would like a user’s content, at least not always, but it is better to have more people on the positive than the negative. However, while having many neutral followers might not seem as bad as having too many on the negative, it is definitely a call to action to the content creator to do more to move them to the positive.

Original Post VS Retweet Ratio
The most successful online influencers are content creators, and their huge earnings are usually tied to how well they can infuse a brand in their content. This is why this metric from SocialCred is vital. This measures how much of the content on a creator’s account is owned by them i.e original content, and compares it to the number of other creators’ content they have shared over a 30-day period.

A brand looking to work with an influencer will consider this crucial because it tells them a story of how effective the creator’s originality is. It doesn’t take away the fact that the curation of quality content is also a good strategy for keeping one’s online audience meaningfully engaged.

Average Engagement Ratio
This metric is probably the most important of the four because it measures the average engagement a user receives per post they put out on their social media pages. It is measured in percentage and covers a 30-day period. In the influencer marketing space, brands either choose a content creator solely for their large audience or strictly for the engagement they drive within a niche or a wider group. It is mostly the latter these days.

Of course, any user can check their engagement numbers from their social media app’s dashboard, but it’s often presented in a format that can appear confusing or cumbersome as it includes everything from comments to shares, retweets even likes, but using a percentage as SocialCred does makes it a lot easier.

Having all of these metrics detailed in very simple terms is one part that makes using the SocialCred app fun, but the larger fun comes from the type of ranks each content creator might get when they try to measure themselves. It could be anything from JJC to Trendsetter or A-Lister. Other ranks include Learner, Crowd Controller, Big Shot, and Socialite. The ranks, of course, suggest that a user can move from one rank to the next if they put in the hard work, and that’s definitely a strategy that can get a content creator to work.

Although people say that comparison is the thief of joy, the fact that SocialCred allows users to compare themselves with other users is a plus for the app. In today’s social media world, people are constantly looking to creatively copy and this feature gives the right basis for that, as it shows an intention towards growth.

The best part of the app remains its simplicity as that alone makes everything fun, and ensures that anyone using the app doesn’t feel like that are at their wit’s end, doing some hardcore analyst’s work, rather they are in a playful mood viewing stats that are not hard to comprehend.

Really very wonderful! Amazing!!

Thank you for watching

Here is the full article gotten from http:///watch-this-man-do-the-unbelievable-with-his-ipad/

In America, this video has given the Apple fans a whole lot of swag that they already have in abundance, their claims now is that their Almighty IPad is a magical device and OMG I am beginning to think it actually is.

A man named Pierro ( now named The Amazing Ipad magician by me) delighted Ellen Degeneres’s audience 3 days ago when he performed Mind blowing tricks on her show.. I mean I have seen so many tricks, but I have never seen one done with an IPad or a device. I swear, my face when I saw the video was like this girl guy below




I shit you not..

With that said, Please go and look for data to watch this video, I beg you and IF YOU KNOW HOW HE DID THE TRICKS, PLEASE DO TELL ME. …. I DONT MIND PAYING OH

Here is the link to the video on Ellen Degeneres :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_xhSQGKxO4

And just when you think you've seen it all, behold the Instagram star that does "magic" for fun on his Instagram page, though in my opinion this guy is not as bad as Pierro.

One more reason to do away with Cortana

Being an American rapper, songwriter, record producer, director, entrepreneur, and fashion designer is clearly not enough for Kanye West, now he is trying to create his own game. (His wife probably instigated the whole thing pfft).

If I remember correctly Kanye tried to make games and did basic programming as a kid. He created his own version of super Mario by changing Mario into a WALKING PENIS! lol.

According to his Interview, Kanye's new game would be inspired by his song "Only One", has been working on the game for six months and would be out hopefully, however no actual release date was given.

Hello All, remember when I told you that Cortana predicts EPL matches and Cortana predicted a draw for Manchester United and a win for Arsenal.

Do you agree with Cortana?

Share your own predictions on [url][/url] and anyone that gets it right wins something from MissTechy

Are you really sure that Bank PHB advert was in 2013? I seriously doubt that!
Anyways, you should outline the details of both cars especially the remote driven one. Tell us bout the engine, transmission torque etc,

Nice observation.. thanks .. The reason I didn't put the nitty gritty of the car In the article is cos I did not want to bore my readers with terms they might not understand)

Regarding the date..I wasn't sure about it. so i consulted Google. they gave me Mar 10, 2013

Who remembers that Bank PHB advert where they said Cars would drive themselves and run on water? It was aired in the year 2013. Now guess what? that dream has finally come to pass.

Some researchers at Stanford university developed an Audi TTS that drives on its own, the car's performance was mind blowing so they paired it against a race car that was driven by an amateur touring class champion. To my amazement, the Driveless car actually beat the race car's ass with an impressive gap.

The group of Scientist that created this amazing innovation said that in order to achieve what they did, they had to study the human drivers and even went as far as attaching electrodes to their heads to monitor brain activities (Choi Tech chi no logy). They also predicted that within the next 15 years, cars that have skills like that of Michael Schumacher ( A seven-time Formula One World Champion and widely regarded as one of the greatest Formula One drivers of all time) could be driving children to school.

Can he predict the winner of the presidential elections?

You can ask it

I am a huge fan of Siri for IPhone, even though I knew about Cortana, I never tried it out because I heard it wasn't so amazing. In case you don't Cortana is the name for the Intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator for Windows Phone 8.1.

This month, Windows announced that Cortana would be able to predict EPL matches and being a football fan, you can imagine my face when I learnt about this! I didn't even wait a minute before I rushed to try the feature out.. and yup they were right. The way it operates is, it uses algorithm from different top football sites to provide its results.

After further research, I found out that a lot of people in UK now use this feature on Betting Sites, can you imagine?? Aaron Souppouris from Engadget tried out the feature and it predicted more than half of the results right for him .. LOL. see his predictions below:

Lol...but I trust NAIJA. If I hear that they would stake their hard earned money on this prediction app...

So how do you activate this feature (In case you want to use it for fun)

1. Get a Windows phone
2. Upgrade to Windows 8.1
3. Go directly to the Cortana App in the App Grid ( Note: Don’t use the shortcut to Cortana)
4. Start Predicting!

I tried out the above steps, and yeah it predicted what I asked it to[b] predict the next match for ( Manchester United vs Swansea & Arsenal vs Crystal Palace)[/b]… See the results on [url][/url]

Launchers have come a long way in helping our smartphones look more elegant and classy, Imagine a world without launchers?? we’d have our boring home screen that sometimes would make you feel dizzy.

I want to assume you all know about launchers so I won’t bore you with details. I am currently using a magnificent launcher and the experience has been wonderful.

For that reason, I have decided to share with you in my Opinion the top 3 Android Launchers in the App Kingdom.



1. SMART LAUNCHER: ( The Dare Art Alade of Launcher Kingdom –
The not so Popular yet Powerful launcher)


Smart Launcher is one of the lightest launcher in the app kingdom, ( I honestly think IT IS THE ONLY LIGHTEST LAUNCHER EVER).. this launcher uses minimalistic yet beautiful designs to give you the ultimate user friendly experience. It also groups your apps in different category, so you’d know where to go when you are looking for a particular game, utility app etc.. did I mention that you can also search for the first letter of any app? Unlike its competitors, The Smart launcher helps conserve your battery juice and to crown it up, it allows you double tap to lock and unlock your phone, how cool is that?? on to some LG G2 things . Anyways, this app here has got mouth.. Plenty mouth for that matter.
