Fall in love with your phone and enjoy an Ice Cream Sandwich

Oct 19
2011

Finally!!! The new Nexus is here and I’m soo excited about it.
Could you imagine a hybrid between a phone and a tablet? That’s the new Galaxy Nexus. Amazing device, slim and curved with a heart made of an Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest Android version.

If you could really fall in love with a decive, you would definitely fall in love with this one.

Some of the amazing features:

- The home screen includes re-sizable widgets for apps and a simple swipe action to clear notifications
- To let users monitor data usage, ICS includes a reporting feature with data breakdowns and controls.
- Touch to beam: there’s a new feature called “beam” that lets you share things with friends using NFC technology. You just need to put 2 Galaxy nexus together in order to share whatever it is on your phone. From a YouTube video to a contact.
- Speech-to-text functionality to dictate. Words will magically appear on the device’s screen. I love this feature because I hate the keyboard on the screen. I’m much slower so this will solve that issue!
- In the security realm, there is a device unlock feature via facial recognition.
- Lots of new improvements have also been made on the camera app.
- One of my favs: when you receive a call you can pick it up, hang up or… you can inmediately text that person with a message like: I’ll call you later. I’ve named this feature the apologetic hang up.

If the words are not enough and you want to see it…

Social Listeners vol.1: Google Alerts

Oct 17
2011

If you own a business or you’re know on the Internet you should be aware of what other users say about you.
There are many tools you can use and I’m going to start today with Google Alerts.

Google Alerts will monitor the Web for interesting new content. The content that you consider interest based on your choice of query or topic. Google Alert will send you any news, blog, tweet or anything on the Internet containing the query that you specify.

Why is Google Alers your ally in terms of social?
Don’t you want to know where your name, service or product appears? Don’t you want to know the latest news of your market? What about what your competitors are doing?

You just need to set up a few alerts containing at least 4 main points:
- Your name or company’s name.
- Your main competitors’ names (company or individuals)
- Keywords that describe your product or service and your market.
- Search for negative reviews like: Hanoi Morillo sucks or “Hanoi Morillo” and “negative”

How to use Google+ as the coolest Bookmarker ever.

Oct 12
2011

Tip of the day for Google+ users: make a circle called ‘My Bookmarks’, and put only yourself in it.

When you come across something on the web you want to check out later, share it to there. You’ll have a search-able, chronological list of cool stuff waiting for you.

Cool uh?
