Cloud Computing Services for IM - Cloud Experience

Information is KING in Internet Marketing! Thus, all the information/ resources you researched or created need to be stored in a safe place that can be easily retrieved at a later stage, whenever and where ever you need it.

This is the gist of what Cloud Computing services is here to provide i.e. storing and synchronising files from multiple devices into one secured place for ease of future retrieval. In short, you can upload and retrieve the files anywhere, anytime you want.

Recently, I stumbled upon a site call Cloud Experience ("CX" in short) which provides such Cloud Computing service with much much more.

Following are some of the key features (which some of it are more superior than iCloud):

  • Registration is FREE (for up to 10 GB of storage space, which is double the size of what iCloud is going to provide).
  • You can access and upload/download/sync the files with PC, Mac, all smartphones and many mobile devices like blackberry etc... (i.e. it's not restricted to iphone or ipad in the case of iCloud).
  • Realtime synchronization:
  • Automatically synchronizes new, changed, or deleted files to all connected computers and devices
  • Offline changes are synchronized as soon as you reconnect
  • Maintains a history as you make changes and resolves any conflicts so that you never lose your work
  • Realtime backup (since it's all in the "cloud"!)
  • It allow you to group share your files with your friends, families and business associates. 

I've just registered myself and did a trial to upload some files from my PC and retrieve the files from my iPhone (iPhone App is FREE to download too). It is smooth, fast and seamless. I am amazed that such great services come with freely!

If this is something new to you and you would like to have an early experience with cloud computing service, click on the image below to register for FREE and try it for yourself.

Hope you like my sharing.

The Next Big Thing in IM : Google+

In Internet Marketing, social media or social network sites are an important piece of jigsaw puzzle to your overall internet marketing venture. Thus, it is a force that cannot be ignored. Soon, there will be another HUGE platform coming into picture and I am sure it will create a great impact to your internet marketing action.

Google+, is the answer to facebook by Google, the search engine giant! It is currently in intensive trial stage and stay tune for this forthcoming great thing. For sneak preview of what Google+ has to offer, do check-out my post below:

The Next Big Thing

I personally view that Internet Marketers can tap on the following features of Google+ to increase their visibility on this new social network and/or overall search ranking in Google:

1. Circles - Unlike Facebook, Circles allow you to easily group your friends into different circles so that you can share the pertinent message/information to selected circles only. It is beneficial for target marketing especially if you can incorporate your "list" as your circles!

2. Sparks - It allows you to search and save any articles, video, audio (or anything at all) of your interest so that you can read it later. Better still, you can share it with your friends or circles of friends. It is a great place to "promote" your website/blogs.

3. Hangouts - This is the platform for you and your friends to be on video chat while on the move. If it's taken off well, could be a potential platform for placement of ads or affiliate programs of your choice.

Enjoy your social media marketing venture and keep learning.

Cheers!
