Web 2.0 has brought a wave of fresh developments & universally alluring codes, bringing newer web applications every day into the virtual realm. These applications include chat applets, video sharing ‘tubes’, e-commerce widgets and millions of others. It would not be an exaggeration to say that as you are reading this line, hundreds of such web applications are coming in and going out from the market.

The picture however turns grim when it is you who has developed one of those ‘small time wonders’. An incorrectly planned marketing strategy will often ‘fail’ your product in the viewer’s eyes (as has happened quite frequently) in spite of its potential advantages. Here are a few tips to ensure that your product remains in the market for a justified amount of time (at least till you can pay your registration with the webhosting companies).

Many webhosting companies offer you effective marketing tools to promote your website and/or your product. Viral marketing, though much maligned is actually the preferred way of publicizing your website, owing to its rapid approach to the masses through multiple media. Depending on the category of your app, check the LIST into which it falls & promote accordingly. For example, social networking websites fall under the WAIT list, which means that they should wait till a fair amount of user base is generated before jumping to publicity. Down loaders or chat applets belong to the WALK list which says that they should focus on marketing. The RUN list comprises of applications which should excessively focus on marketing.

Creating web applications is not that hard anymore because of the many tools that are available on hand but before you do start working and creating your first lines of code, the first thing that you should do is to determine what the web application will be for and also the kind of files that will be put into the database.
In order to keep things simple use a table that will store the user information. This will include the usual information like the username, the password, user id, the personal details like email and also the session. You can decide to add more fields to this depending on the exact purpose of your web application.

Calling Cards as Assistance for Developers

Faye — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 00:32:12 +0000

The calling card is commonly recognized as a useful and highly convenient tool for business purposes – but people don’t seem to realize that other groups can benefit from their advantages as well. Take developers, for example – if you’re working on apps, chances are you have to constantly coordinate with a team of other developers, artists and other people. This can be easily done over the Internet, but in many cases this is not enough and you end up talking on the phone for quite a while – which, in turn, adds up a lot to your phone bills.

By using a calling card with free calling plans, you’ll be able to maintain the connection with the rest of the people on your team, without having to pay a great deal of money for the process. It’s not often easy to find a calling card that offers free calling to the particular groups of people you’re interested in talking with, though – for example, your teammates may be clients of different phone companies, or there may be other factors preventing you from getting a good deal to all of them with one card.

Therefore, it’s sometimes viable to use an additional calling card for this purpose – splitting the people you’ll be talking to between the two cards. If you do the maths properly, this would allow you to still end up paying a lot less than you would on your regular phone bills!

My Online Assistant

Faye — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 03:49:36 +0000

I have just started using Google Calendar to keep and organize my schedule. I can now share events and happenings with my friends and family, and even exchange schedules with my clients. We can all view each others schedules and know when everyone is available, and that makes scheduling a lot easier. Invitations can be sent and tracking reservations is also easy. We can also view our calendars on our mobile phones. Now I can view my schedule wherever I may be.
I remember a time just a year ago when I missed my grandmother’s 80th birthday because my secretary was out sick. The customized reminders in Google calendar will make sure this doesn’t happen again. The notifications can be sent either by email or text message. I can also synchronize my calendar with other desktop applications like MS Outlook, Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird, and even attach links to it like the Australia business directory. And with Google Calendar’s offline access feature , I can also view my schedule even when I don’t have access to the internet. I wouldn’t have to miss out on any important event ever again.

With all these free services from Google Calendar, life is much more simple and easier to handle. My schedule nowadays is as busy as ever, but now I don’t have to feel stressed out when my staff is on vacation. I even thought of getting rid of my personal assistant now that I have more control of my life. Well, almost. Somebody still has to make me coffee.
