We are featuring Albert Ciuksza Jr. of Portabeer.com.
Charlie Sheen’s meltdown and America’s subsequent obsession with the former fake Cleveland Indians pitcher was one of the biggest stories in pop culture of 2011. Needless to say, we’re ready to slam the door on 2011 like the Wild Thing did to the White Sox (¡en español!) and start predicting what will be huge in 2012.
It might seem unlikely to you now, but we’re professionals, we know what we’re talking about. 800 numbers and toll free numbers will end up being this year’s Tickle Me Elmo. Think about it, a vanity toll free number makes a great gift for any occassion.
At the time of writing this, there were countless toll free phone numbers available that ended in “funk”. Who wouldn’t want that? Unfortunately, a toll free 867-5309 was not available (I would have taken it).
Welcome to the last year on earth, according to numerous theories. Although the end of the world has been predicted countless times before, why not live this year like it really is the last? I’m not talking about racking up major credit card debt while bar hopping your way through the Greek Islands or ignoring societal norms like bathing and wearing clothes (though that does sound great).
I’m talking about taking risks while you still can.
After all, the zombie apocalypse is penciled in for the end of the year. If your staff is already acting like a pack of walking corpses, it’s time to infuse some life. Much like surviving in a world of brain-hungry psuedo-humans, you must be courageous enough to take the leaps that will lead your business to the next level.
You know, just in case the world doesn’t end.
“I’m going to get in shape this year!” Does that sound like you? Have you ever joined a gym and then after a few weeks forgotten about your New Year’s resolution altogether? You’re not alone.
Looking at Time’s very unscientific top ten list of the most commonly broken New Year’s resolutions from last year, we realized a virtual phone system could really contribute to sticking to most of the goals (at least for a little while longer).
If you are on Twitter, you have probably seen the trending topic #NewNewTwitter the last few days. Twitter has started unveiling their second redesign of the website this year. We’ve talked about the tremendous importance of a Facebook Page and a Google+ Page for your business, but now Twitter is getting in the mix with a new redesign that includes special brand pages. Before this update, company Twitter accounts had the same layout as personal accounts, which didn’t help the confusion users had with the existence of so many false identities.
Fans of dystopian fiction are letting their imaginations run wild after a developer released a video of a hidden, keystroke-recording app called IQ Agent by Carrier IQ that is running on an estimated 150 million smartphones worldwide in order to learn information about the behavior of their users.
While Carrier IQ isn’t likely to go Skynet on us, this video is fairly alarming. It’s yet another log on the anti-privacy bonfire that has been ablaze in recent months with the antics of Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, and many others. Who is going to be the John Connor that will end all of this?
First of all, I call dibs. But I’m going to wait until I see a T-1000 in real life. Second, let’s not freak out… yet.

QR codes, short for Quick Response, were supposed to be the next big thing in mobile advertising. The pixelated square codes can be easily scanned by the more than 82.2 million smartphone users in the US, supposedly to earn some kind of instant benefit. It certainly sounds like a good idea, but many savvy marketers that have given QR codes a try have been sorely disappointed with the response. The number one problem businesses are having with QR codes is that the offer doesn’t live up to the expectation they’re creating. This isn’t just a problem facing startups and entrepreneurs – big businesses have struggled, too.
You’ve probably heard about the “Stop Online Privacy Act” (SOPA) and its sister, Protect-IP Act. Both bills have a lot of money supporting them with the funds coming from the pharmaceutical industry who is tired of seeing counterfeit medication purchased in lieu of their own products and from an entertainment industry afraid they’re losing too much money from sites illegally hosting copyrighted media.
That’s an idea that most people can get behind. Artists should be compensated for their work, even the modern day Picasso’s who came up with Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2, and websites selling bad counterfeit medications shouldn’t be allowed to operate. The problem is that there are a lot of unintended consequences in the language of the bills that would change the way we use the Internet.
