This year, you need more than just a
stable, well-maintained website to house
your products and services. Consumers
are taking advantage of the latest mobile
commerce trends and they expect you
to do the same. Do you operate your
business from the comfort of your own
laptop or computer? Well, with the
birth of the smartphone and the tablet,
you can respond to business inquiries
even when you’re on the go. Improve
the online visibility of your site and
your services and launch your business
to new heights! Now you don’t
have to miss another message or
skip a potential customer!
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have no plans
of taking it slow this year. They have devised a new way for you to
remain constantly in-touch with your own social circle. Otherwise
known as “frictionless sharing,” this trend allows you to share
your latest endeavours (from your Tetris Battle scores to your
most recent comments) without lifting a finger or clicking on
anything on your screen. Simply approve the relevant application
and everything you’ve been doing appears on your profile! It’s a
bit like having your very own “News Flash” corner on one side of
your screen. Although some people don’t mind this instant sharing
scheme, a lot of users seem to find this trend a tad unnerving.
Aside from sharing your posts about that awesome new video or
that great weekend photo, this trend has the ability to somehow
limit your sense of privacy. So make the necessary adjustments on
your Social Reader or Spotify to take full advantage
of this new sharing trend!
