Brand Lift: Facebook’s Answer To The Brand Advertising Conundrum
There are two primary types of online advertising: direct sales marketing and branded ad campaigns. Direct sales models like online affiliate marketing or email marketing have already been proven. However large brands have only begun spending billions of dollars online, because there have been very few ways to monitor the effectiveness of campaigns. Let’s say that you set up a Facebook application which millions of users interacted with. How do you then measure the ROI of that program once it’s complete? Given that large companies spend hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars on advertising everywhere, it’s difficult to…

Intro To E-Mail Marketing For Facebook Page Admins
This is Day 29 of the 30 Days to 3,000 Fans program. You can learn more about the program here.
Any internet marketer knows about the power of e-mail marketing. As I discussed in “The 5 Phases of the Facebook Sales Funnel“, it’s important to drive users to take an action. Often that may be registering for an email newsletter which can then be used to upsell the user on a product or service. In addition to e-mail newsletters, every modern marketer sends numerous e-mails every day and each of those e-mails should be used as an opportunity to drive…

Are you human? Then type out this book
Google has acquired reCAPTCHA and plans to use the system for digitizing books. Wait… what? CAPTCHA is the method of requiring a user to type in a visually obscured word to prove they are human. How can this digitize books? The answer is a bit obscure and takes some time to discover, but you’ll have fun along the way.
The Google blog links to a Google TechTalk video on Human Computation as an example of how they plan to use their new acquisition. It’s embedded below but at 51 minutes we figure most won’t watch it all so we…

Mail-E email checker
[Totoro] sent in this cool little email notification device he made. Using a paper model of Wall-E, he added some servos and connected it to his computer using a PIC. Mail-E has independent arm rotation and head rotation. He admits that the PIC processor is major overkill and plans some upgrades such as making it wireless and using a little better suited chip to control it. Not bad for a proof of concept.

PhoneTag helps you read your voicemail
Have you ever been too busy to check in with your voicemail service? PhoneTag might have the solution for you.
Some of us might have done it before, let voicemails pile up if we know nothing urgent or important is coming down the pipes. Wouldn’t it be much simpler and more convenient if those voicemails played by our rules? PhoneTag is a speech to text service that converts a voicemail into text and sends it via email or SMS which you can read through and reference at will. The accuracy on this type of service is usually pretty good,…

Man Offers To Name Son “Batman” For 500,000 Facebook Fans
One of the fastest growing Facebook Pages over the past couple weeks was a page developed by KZ Entertainment to entice users to fan the page in order to get the admin to name his son “Batman”. It’s not a completely original tactic as it has been used with varying degrees of success in the past, especially within Facebook groups. The real question though is whether or not this individual should be able to create a Facebook Page which is aimed at promoting a media company rather than accomplishing a legitimate goal.
Currently, Facebook arbitrarily disables publishing features of generic…
