Pictures are boring. We need to help the photographers and spice up their work.

Or rather, how the wrong picture, became the best picture.

Lousy shots, photoshop and goofy faces. Those are the ingredients for five minutes of fun. Click here

No more prima donna

We need teams. We do not need one star and the others are just filling. That goes for soccer, for companies and for friends.

To win you need to play as a team, where all qualities are bound, and the weaknesses are made up for. And if you are lucky you have a coach who is submissive to the collective mission. Then you do not want a Ma(ra)donna who is another guy to steal the show and outshines the joint effort.

Facebook is testing face detection

fb-face

Facebook is about to implement changes into photos management around their service.

The huge step forward is making friend’s selections process automatically. You don’t have to click each time in a photo to tag your friend on the one you’ve just uploaded. Facebook will be making it in the background after upload is done. You will receive photos with previously detected faces and you’ll be able to choose whose’s on the photo using Facebook’s prompt.

You will save your time for searching through yours or friend’s photos to find yourself on them. What’s more, there is always an other side – scanning your face process is combined with collecting really worthful data base from marketing point of view. All Facebook adds will be adjusted and oriented on you – if you have e.g. oval face you will be presented with such adds (e.g. cosmetics) covering your shape.

bounce2

Are you looking for a tool improving your work on websites? You’ve just found it. A Bounce is a new online tool allowing you to comment any website (simply by grabbing a screenshot from attached link) and share ideas with friends.

The tool is realy intuitive and has nothing you can complain on. You can simply make notes by clicking anywhere on your screenshot and write a feedback in an overlay of site. You can tweet and share feedback with your friends.

It’s easy tool to build community around your brand but it’s not good enough to make money and reinforce your business model. But anyway it’s a really good start and maybe further versions will be covering business model as well - e.g. by integrating it with management’s tools as Basecamp.

Build your own application on Facebook

app

Have you ever dreamed about creating own poll or quiz on Facebook? Now you can build community around your own Facebook profile via Application Builder and for free.

Facebook is offering applications allowing you for creating simple polls, quizzes, phrases, etc.

As you can see the scope of types is quite large - you can do really cool stuff. By choosing one of the types we need to make the personalization. There is nothing difficult - App Builder leads us all the time.

The first step is filling in an application name, description, language and define whether it contains alcohol or not to present it to adults only. The next steps up to the last one depend on selected type of application. Finally, in the last step we need to combine our application with Facebook. And that’s all – share, share and one more time SHARE with your friends ;)

Nearly $ 72 more spent Facebook fan each year than a person who doesn’t identify him- or herself with the brand, based on research of Syncapse.

The average value of one fan on Facebook is $ 136,38.

At about one-quarter increase the likelihood of regular use of the product by a fan, than by people not identifying with the brand. What’s more, Facebook fans were 41% more likely to recommend a product than their non-fan counterparts – such conclusions can be drawn from the Syncapse’s research who has examined a twenty largest products and their fans.

Fans of brands can be divided into more or less valuable depending on their involvement: recommending products to your friends, a number of other products that he likes, activity on a website. According to Syncapse, a fan - at best - can be worth up to $ 310.

What’s more, about 80% of fans feel connection with the brand and all adjectives used to describe this connection were positive.

This pay attention how big value and impact has an audience on organization and aspect of long-term marketing value.
