Digital Portrait- Rough Sketch

This is a quick sketch of a portrait I did of Monica Nielsen. It was an idea I had pitched that was turned down, so I didn't put any finishing touches on it. Don't be too critical in the comments, please!

It was completely composed in photoshop by Nichole Wheat

IGENAPPS: A Great Tool For Business!

Lately I have been looking into creating my own app for iphones. I think it would be a great marketing tool. Plus, I am really excited about paring it with my QR code.

My plan is to create an app and point a QR code at it! I feel this will be a effective way to get users of iphone access to my app since they need a smart phone to use a QR code!

I wanted to share with you my findings on apps!

I came across this app that is set to be released in the first quarter of 2011 called IGenApps. It is a new way of creating and generating mobile apps. iGenApps will allow you to make your own apps without knowing how to do any programming! I love the internet but I have no desire to spend hours searching the web for tutorials on how to make apps or paying someone a ton of money to create one for me.

This app is designed for personal and business use and appears to have some great features.

It allows the user to choose from a variety of screen types such as:

-Horizontal Scrolling Screens

-Coverflow Screens

-Gallery Screens

-Simple Lists

-Sorted Lists

-Description Lists

-Category Lists

-Event Lists

-Calendar Screens

-Details Screens

-Map Screens

Users can also create links to:

-Email Addresses

-Phone numbers

-YouTube Videos

-Websites

-Physical Addresses

This links that you will create will interact directly with the other iPhone Apps like the Phone, Mail, Safari, Google Maps and YouTube Apps.

Users can also select from 3 different Menu Screens which are:

-Menu with icons (9 icons max)

-Menu by tabs (5 tabs max)

-Menu with buttons (6 buttons max)

Until the app is released, I won’t have any feedback for you guys, but here is what their website says about the app. “Sounds simple? Well its even simpler than it sounds. You're probably wondering, 'what's the catch?' How can it be so easy and so cheap to develop an iPhone App? iGenApps is basically a tool that will walk you through the creation of a Web Application that will look and feel like any other Native iPhone App. After creating your first App, you will obtain your own web address which you will first access through the Safari. You can then Add it to your Home Screen and that's it! You can then share your web address with your friends, colleges or clients so that they can also use your new app.”

There is no information about how much this app will cost, but as long as IGENApp keeps it affordable for a majority of the users, it will probably be a pretty successful app. I am going to be keeping an eye on this!

Deck.ly Ruins Micro-Blogging

The new update to Tweetdeck v0.37.2, known as Deck.ly is ending the era of Micro-blogging. No longer does a user have to use creativity to compose a tweet, he or she can ramble on and on, ultimately burying the message they are trying to convey.

One of the things I love about tweeting is trying to figure out how I can fit my thoughts, feelings and emotions into 140 characters. It is short, sweet and to the point. I can get my point across fast and users can quickly decide if they are interested.

Do you know how hard it would be to interact with a large number of users when I have to take longer than 5 seconds to read their tweets? Bottom line is that I don't interact with longer tweets; I just don't have the time. I don't retweet them, I don't click their links, they appear too long and I skip right over them.

The internet generation is full of attention deficiet users, which is one of the main reasons 140 character limits is so successful.

Do you think twitter would have grown so rapidly if it wasn't such a simple concept?

Leave a comment below or tweet me @netmarketwiz with your opinion. What do you think about longer Tweets?

How Do You Wear Your QR Code?

I WEAR MINE IN THE BACK!

TAKE A PHOTO OF YOU WEARING A QR CODE AND TWEET ME @NETMARKETWIZ (link in the side bar)

I was sooooo geeked the other day when my fiancee came home with a new shirt for me. He had donated blood and gave me the t-shirt. I quickly noticed the QR Code under the Florida Blood Centers Logo. I have been keeping an eye on QR Codes for a while now, finally they are starting to be used like they should be. EVERYWHERE!!!

QR Codes are going to revolutionize the way businesses design advertising materials, campaigns and internet marketing strategies. The days of out dated information are over.

Monica Nielsen gives us a great example of what I am talking about in her blog. She states, "How many times in the last five years have you had to change business cards? Think about how much your contact information has changed. A simple remedy is to design a business card with a QR code on it. This QR code could point to your contact information which you can update as it changes. No longer would old email address and phone numbers keep you out of touch! The money a company could save by not having to re-order business cards every year could be significant!"

I agree Monica! I am loving the new sylish QR Codes!

QR Codes: What Are They And What Do They Mean To You?

A Quick Response (QR) code is a two-dimensional code (similar to the bar code system) that can be scanned by smartphone cameras to automatically pull up text, photos, videos, music and URLs.

These codes are revolutionizing the way Americans interact in their offline world with online resources.

An example of a QR code is the one in the upper right hand corner of my blog. This is a QR Code generated by JumpScan This mobile-friendly Code allows me to point you the user to my social networking information in a snap.

These codes have been around since 1994 when invented by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave. They are already popular in Japan, consumers in the United States are just now beginning to take notice.
