As per a recent post on Business Week, Super Bowl fans are now using Twitter along with the Super Bowl running on TV to create a true “two screen” experience.
An estimated 144 million Americans own tablet computers or smartphones, said Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics LLC. Of those, 40 percent use the devices daily while watching television, according to Nielsen. Of that tally, half of the tablet owners and 42 percent of the smartphone users also visit social sites such as those run by Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. while watching TV, media- viewership tracker Nielsen Nielsen noted.
Commercials now instruct viewers to “Like this on Facebook” or to “Tweet with this hashtag.” The iPad allows for a seamless experience without the burden of a keyboard.
Just over a year ago Ted Williams, the man with “the golden voice,” was caught on a video that went on YouTube which went viral. A day later, Ted Williams was hired by CBS News, got a haircut and went into drug Rehab.
Now “the man with the golden voice” has a much different look. He now has a clean haircut, glasses, is no longer wearing a camouflage jacket and is living in a house.
For some time now there has been a rumor circulating the tech world that Facebook wants to launch its own smartphone.

Yesterday we lost an iconic figure in Steve Jobs. He lost a battle with cancer and passed away at the young age of 56. In Steve’s 56 years on planet earth, he changed the world from a technology perspective in unimaginable ways. Steve Jobs’ contributions through Apple and Pixar have brought us light years ahead in the desktop computing and animated movie industries.
Steve, you will be sorely missed.
The Apple iPhone 5 officially is being launched today. With the iPhone 4 having been around for 15 months this has the longest period ever where Apple failed to update one of their products. Clearly, it seems like Apple took extra time in fixing many issues seen with the iPhone 4.
This also is significant in that Tim Cook is presenting as the official CEO of Apple, replacing Steve Jobs who recently stepped down.
Wade Belak was a popular professional hockey player and defenceman that played for a number of teams, notably the Toronto Maple Leafs. A well-liked player whose primary role was to be an enforcer and protect his team-mates, his recent death on August 31st, 2011 has shocked many of us and the cause of death remains somewhat of a mystery. Police have not yet officially confirmed his cause of death but anonymous sources have revealed that it was a suicide.
The Groupon Daily Deal industry has taken the world by storm. As a result, it seems like everyone wants to be in the industry and leverage this relatively new business model.
Some people want a website up quickly and leverage pre-hosted SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions where the company takes a percentage of each sale. Normally the percentages taken from these “rental services” are 4%-10% per transaction, which can get fairly pricy after a while.
Also, while there might be many neat features with a pre-hosted solution, the provider “owns” your code and personalized data. There should always be reluctance and caution when divulging sensitive client information to a third party. Also, what happens if the software provider decides to “close up shop” the next day, at the expense of the clients being hosted? Do you as a client really want to be put into such a situation?
It’s official: Facebook is competing with Google Plus (+) by partnering with Skype, the video conferencing giant. In an announcement on July 6th, CNN Tech reported that Mark Zuckerberg announced in a Palo Alto, CA conference that Facebook will add a video chat feature powered by Skype.
On June 15, 201, Rocky Agrawal, a Social Media expert who writes for TechCrunch and is reviewing the Daily deal industry wrote an article on the legal challenges facing Groupon, Living Social and other Daily Deal sites. Agrawal states that Groupon and Living Social may be violating several key aspects of consumer protection law. Because this is a relatively new industry in some cases the specific legal handling is unclear, however in others the law is clear cut.
We recommend contacting Osler, a Canadian Law Firm with offices in New York, for more detailed legal advice on this topic.
