The Future of Mobile Is Artificial Intelligence

by

Time has become a luxury in this modern day and age. There are so many tasks that demand human attention so Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as the savior of mankind. Not only does AI get the job done quickly but it also affords a higher level of precision. An ability that AI shares with the human mind is its tendency to learn and grow. It can be “taught” to perform a certain way. Google’s DeepMind is an excellent example of this phenomenon. Its researchers, Alexander Graves and Greg Wayne claim that it can learn like neural networks and hold extensive data in reserve. Meanwhile, mobile technology has made itself known in every aspect of our daily lives.

The next logical step would be to be combine artificial intelligence and mobile technology. Significant experimentation is underway to develop smart ways to tackle problems using this powerful duo. Apple and Google are among the leaders in mobile artificial intelligence research. The results have been promising so far hinting at considerable potential in major industries.

Personal assistants on mobile

Apple’s Siri, introduced to consumers in 2010, is an efficient personal assistant and navigator. It works by collecting your personal data from your smartphone and sifting through it to discover your preferences. The two-way communication can be conducted in your first language according to the location settings on your iPhone. Siri is also available in Apple Watch and Apple TV. Those with CarPlay can also enjoy it and it was recently introduced to the Macintosh. Reports have been trickling in this month via Bloomberg that Initially, Siri Inc. planned to expand its services to all mobile operating systems by since it was acquired by Apple, this dream could not be realized.

Fortunately, the success of Siri and similar artificial intelligence programs in various industries spurred others to develop similar solutions for users. Google Now offered voice based searches and limited voice commands until recently, when Google transformed this experience. It has been renamed Google Assistant and the number of features it possesses has increased in particular two-way communication, just like Apple’s Siri.

Microsoft’s Cortana debuted two years ago and is still evolving in competition with Apple’s Siri and Google Assistant. It is available for a limited number of languages including French, Portguese, English and Japanese at the moment. It can help you with your to-do list by setting reminders. Cortana responds to natural voice input and answers queries via Bing search engine. It is also handy for making accurate forecasts and predictions based on the data present through search engines.
Samsung has bought Viv this month so a major competitor in artificial intelligence for mobile may emerge soon. Viv is a startup from the creators of Apple’s Siri. Viv’s personal assistant is also going to operate via a voice based interaction between device and user.

Experimental to practical

Currently, the kind of artificial intelligence that has reached the hands of consumers revolves around low level tasks and simple processing. This is because a lot of testing and research goes into a product of artificial intelligence. Even though important breakthroughs have been made in the field of artificial intelligence, the results need to be adapted to the requirements of the average smartphone user. Research is funded by grants but of course, significant investment is needed for mass production. This is the gap that has to be bridged in order for artificial intelligence integrated into mobile technology to really hit it off with the masses.

Another issue emerges from a business point of view. For instance, Android fragmentation is a major hurdle for any new release of update by Google. It will take a long time and a lot of money to make artificial intelligence accessible to all users. Apple is better off in this regard since it updates its single OS every now and then.

Burdens of the modern age

The acceleration of mobile growth in recent years has been brilliant and beneficial for all sorts of industries. However, the sheer number of apps, devices and services now available to the common man has caused digital friction. Mobile technology is supposed to enhance the quality of life and it is doing that job wonderfully. On the other hand, we are facing challenges because it’s too much for the human mind to handle alone. We are steadily reaching our limit.

This is where artificial intelligence comes in. Science fiction movies and books have always shown us futuristic visions where artificial intelligence is widely prevalent. That is the type of innovation scientists are aiming for. The idea is to share the burden of handling so much information. As you know, smartphone users today have countless options they never had before. The problem is that these options lead to more options until there is an endless sea of information the human mind is unable to process efficiently. Artificial intelligence knows how to sift through data and narrow down choices for you so you don’t need to perform that manually. For example, Google Assistant gives you alerts about events you plan to attend and shows you more filtered options you might be interested in depending on the ones you have gone to before.

AI in optimization

You have probably become familiar with how apps offer you improved options by collecting information about your location, gender, age, history etc. This means that you only get recommendations which are most relevant to you. You must have noticed how apps like YouTube customize your recommendations in each category like Music and News depending on what you have watched before. You will probably be offered songs from the same artist and news from a certain location or in a particular industry. This not only makes it convenient for you but allows a personal touch. Artificial intelligence has major applications with regards to optimizing services for mobile users.

Having artificial intelligence at the core of personal technology really helps create a better user experience and provides businesses with improved user feedback. As a result, the overall quality of the app is boosted and the business learns how to please their consumers more. There are many restrictions in apps these days which causes no small amount of frustration to users. You will have noticed how reviewers are constantly complaining about how the app doesn’t let them do this or that. App developers are constantly producing better feedback systems other than basic ratings of apps. Artificial intelligence can remove such issues by learning to fulfill the users’ demands and allowing different platforms to work together.

Smart decision making

We have already established that artificial intelligence is not something developed to perform a certain set of tasks. It is designed to grow, programmed to learn the existing trends and store relevant knowledge. All these attributes enable artificial intelligence to make dozens of minor decisions for you based on your personal preferences. So, it is not like control is being taken away from you.

It saves your time and energy allowing you to focus on important jobs that the artificial intelligence cannot do for you. When you search via keywords on your Google app, it’s going to show you not just the most highly ranked websites but also suggestions based on your location. You don’t need to spell out an entire query because Google Assistant just needs a keyword to deliver high quality links.

Look forward to fresh updates

Keep an eye out for exciting updates in existing mobile artificial intelligence. Apple has connected Siri to third party apps like Pinterest, LinkedIn and iOS games. So, now you can direct Siri to reply to messages on LinkedIn, find pins on your profile on Pinterest or specific pictures on The Roll. You can even make moves in mobile games through voice commands. You can basically dictate messages to Siri and they will be sent to the recipient automatically. The Google Assistant works in a similar way. You can ask any question you like and it will use the Google search engine to deliver suitable links.

For instance, if you are looking for an eatery or club near you, it will utilize your location data to find the perfect spot for you. This also applies to the data saved on your Android phone. The Google Assistant will bring out misplaced files and photos quickly when you ask it to. This kind of voice directing system allows you to multitask more efficiently. Another angle of Google Assistant is to gauge your needs and

The future is definitely going to be all about smart assistants incorporated into our lifestyle from home appliances to personal technology. As new players jump into the game, it spurs on competition leading to astonishing innovation. The new updates in existing artificial intelligence in mobile technology appear promising so we can expect bigger and better products next year.

Things You Should Consider Before Starting a Blog

by

It’s very easy to establish a blog nowadays. There are different platforms where you can do it and themes are already prepared, so you can optimize your blog in just a few clicks. However, the key to a successful blog is missing in this picture. You will need to be more organized if you want your words to reach the people.

In this article, I will suggest you some of the ideas that have proven to be correct. Of course, you cannot find a mathematical formula for a successful blog, but some methods are more efficient than the others. Let’s take a look.

1. What is your topic?

Before even starting to write, you need to know what to write about. The first thing that you should know is that everything has already been written. That’s why you need to either find a unique topic or you need to use innovative style.
A good way to get an insight into blog community is – reading blogs. It’s good to take a couple of months and read many blog posts, both good and bad before you begin with your own work.

2. The platform

Yes, there is a vast sea of blogging platforms. Each one is designed in its own way, but all of them are practically doing the same job. So, do a little research and see which one would suit your needs.
WordPress is certainly the first one you should check. This is the best option if you want complete control over your blog. Custom themes and plugins are also possible, so you can arrange your blog in any way you like it.

3. Name

A name for your blog is very important because it is the first thing that people will read or hear. Many of your visitors will check your blog only because of the name, so it is essential that you come up with something interesting.
Avoid too complicated and too long names. Keep it simple and true, and try to include some of your keywords in your domain name. The name needs to stick in people’s mind and tell them explicitly what’s your blog about. Don’t be lazy and use Thesaurus to discover some interesting words that can attract readers.
The Story of Domain names

4. SEO is important

Yes, SEO is very important if you want your blog to be successful. Understanding the importance of SEO means that you will be able to understand the way Google rates websites. If you do everything properly, there is a high chance that your blog might end up on the first page of Google search.
Of course, you can optimize your blog by yourself. It’s not nuclear physics. However, if you don’t have a clue what SEO is and how this optimization is done, it would be a smart move to seek help from experts like agseosydney.com.au.

5. Marketing

Many bloggers don’t want to spend money on blog advertising. That is a real shame because this strategy can bring many benefits. Advertising your blog is really important since it is one of the major ways to attract the readers.
You can always ask your friends to share your blog on their social media pages, this is the simplest way of marketing. Making an e-mail list is also a good idea, but that doesn’t mean that you should bombard your subscribers with spam. Respect their time and send them only interesting and valuable stuff.

Conclusion
I hope that some of these advices will help you to start your blogging career successfully. As I already mentioned, it is good to plan some things in advance, to research the topics, and to research other blogs. You need to get a clear picture about the topic that you will cover. Pick the right platform and customize your blog. Besides quality content, you need to offer aesthetical value to your visitors. Well-designed blogs are very popular. When all these factors are covered, you may sit back and enjoy your creation.

5 Reasons Why Your Business Should Focus on Social Media Marketing

by

Online marketing has gained so much momentum that it has already shoved out the window traditional means of marketing. Yes, a number of businesses still invest on print, television and radio advertisements, but we cannot deny the difference in the number of leads generated and converted when compared to results of online efforts such as social media ads (in FB, Twitter, Instagram, etc.), organic search, paid search, and more. With online marketing at its peak, social media marketing has become the best form of online marketing strategy.

Social media marketing is definitely making waves as more people are becoming digital every day. Statistics from WeAreSocial Singapore’s Digital in 2016 report showed that for January 2016, 46.23 % of the world’s total population or 3.419 billion people are very active online. Furthermore, 2.307 billion people are very active social media users. As more people are being present online, social media marketing has become the best weapon for businesses in order to grow and achieve their goals and target sales or leads.

Why should businesses focus on social media marketing? Here are the five (5) reasons why:

1. Social Media Drives Relevant Traffic to Your Website

If you want relevant traffic to come to your website, then social media is king. For so many years, marketers focus in driving traffic to websites were the search engines, but with the advent of social media and everyone going mobile, resources have been spent for more referral traffic to site. How is it possible? For most businesses, they put direct links to the website in the social media accounts’ profiles, status updates, content posts, etc., thus, social media users can just click on the links and be directed to the website.

Also, with the use of social media, a website’s search engine rank is boosted making the site more visible during the search. Digital marketers need not exhaust all attention to a well-made custom web design and search engine optimization tactics. This is possible as most social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter are now indexed by Google.

2. Social Media Improves Your Reach

Social media allows businesses to target a specific market. Businesses need to establish a link with the right prospects and leads in order to achieve marketing goals quickly. Solely relying on the website will only give a business tens of quality leads from hundreds of traffic. With social media, you can easily target those who you think will be interested with your service or product.

Furthermore, active marketing on social media accounts will result to numerous shares, likes, and comments to your content, thus, making them more visible in the news feed. As your content becomes viral, its reach becomes wider as well.

3. Social Media Helps You with Branding Awareness

Building on your social profile actually helps establish your brand. Brand awareness is very essential for every business. Through social media, you can build your following by showing the entire social media community about who you are as a brand. Marketers should allocate resources to coming up with a personality online.

Successful marketing strategies for brand awareness in social media usually involve showing the public what the business is inside and out, how they take care and interact with customers and how unique the brand is. With social media, you can strengthen your brand and reinforce a positive image for your business to those who are interested with the type of service or product you have.

4. Social Media Helps You Better Your Search Engine Optimization

Social media marketing has become significant to search engine optimization strategies. As more social networking sites are being indexed by Google, the more social profiles you build the better your ranking is on search.

Social networking sites have become search engines themselves as well. Take for example Facebook, Twitter and Instagram – you have the ability to search relevant keywords in these social networking sites. With the updates in social media, businesses have to improve their social presence right away and let social accounts dominate the search engine results.

5. Social Media Helps You with Customer Engagement

There is minimal interaction in company websites. Furthermore, if there is any form of interaction in company websites, they are restricted. With social media, it is easier to communicate you’re your customers 24/7. Engaging with customers boosts your brand through more following, likes and shares. Customer engagement is one way of building your social media presence. When a customer posts how much she liked your service and tags you, it is now easier to relay your thanks. Keep track of all interactions your customers do with your social media accounts and make sure you show them that you are reading every single thing they say about your brand.

Social networking sites are here to stay and social media users are growing by hundreds of thousands each day. For businesses to thrive in this purely online world, then it is about time to start making a social media presence and if you already have one, make tremendous efforts in boosting it. Invest on a social media marketing plan today and prevent your business from going down the drain.

Online Marketing Mistakes That Could Affect Your Business

by

If you are in business and have not yet tapped the potential of digital or online marketing to help boost your business, then you could have been living under a rock. In this digital age, everyone is all eyes on the internet that a lot of companies have extended marketing from physical to digital. Why not? The web can open up a lot of opportunities even to small scale businesses without too much marketing budget.

But before we jump into the bandwagon aimlessly, here are a few tips for us to not engage in digital marketing in vain. For sure there are a lot of blogs that we have read on how to maximize the internet or how to do effective online marketing, but here are straight tips on what NOT to do to avoid causing negative impact to our businesses. Here are online marketing pitfalls that we should be avoiding.

1. Starting with lack of preparation and knowledge.

When we decide to go online with our marketing, we must be armed with all the knowledge about the digital world, our own products or brand, and the market we are reaching to. These three items are the essential fundamentals that will comprise an effective online marketing strategy.
We need to understand the digital world and how it operates. If we don’t, we will easily lose in the digital battle for the lack of a good strategy that will best work for our kind of business. So before we set foot on digital marketing, let us first thoroughly study how it works, the benefits that our business will get, and the next steps we need to take.
We need to understand our brands, too, to be able to position it the best way. There is no standard template in marketing a brand. Every marketing strategy will be poised differently to deliver the unique message of the brand. To come up with an effective online marketing strategy, it is best to understand our brands to communicate them best especially in a media as tricky as the internet.
Lastly, we need to understand our target market so we are able to communicate through their language. Even if it’s all online, digital marketing should be created distinctly to capture the target audience.
Therefore, the lack of knowledge of the three things above will cause any digital marketing launch to fail whether immediately or eventually since the plan is not founded on a true understanding of the media, the brand, and the target market which are basic requirements to any marketing strategy whether online or physical.

2. Thinking that marketing is an expense rather than an investment.

There are lot of things that we can do to market online. We can hire experts to help us with solid content marketing and SEO strategy, we can do promotions, we can pay influencers, we can have paid advertisements. Whether we are a big conglomerate or just a start-up business, we have to understand that it takes money to make money. Thus, we would really need to invest and allocate budget for marketing to reach our audiences, and to encourage them to try, switch, or use our brands. It is wrong to think that we can skimp on marketing just because almost everyone is online. We have to remember that if we don’t try to make it big in the internet, we can easily be missed and ignored in a big ocean of other better and bigger players.
The tip though is to be smart and selective in choosing who to partner with. There are quality and reliable companies who will help us with our content and online marketing needs without spending too much.

3. Not having a clean and relevant content.

Once we are on online marketing, we might as well do it right. Having a solid and valuable content is very essential. It can make or break any business, big or small. So when we publish contents, it is important that, as owners and managers, we read through them or hire experts that can really guarantee that they are clean, meaning free from spelling and grammar errors, and relevant, that they really speak of what we want to communicate to our audience.
When it comes to promotions, we must be careful to not over-promote or else our audience will see us to be too biased. They would rather want to read about how their needs and wants are addressed, in general or with relation to our brand. When we are not too promotion-focused, we would sound more reputable as a company and as a brand.

4. Not following-through on satisfied customers or loyal patrons.

Most of the time, we have the tendency to open-fire. We would like to hit on anyone who is online, sending emails to whoever, or starting forums that are geared to attract anyone. But what we often miss is to follow-through or utilize satisfied customers. These are those who left great reviews or good comments, and those who have really made actual purchases of our brands. We can always go back to them and leave a reply on their comments and reviews or send them personalized mails and brochures. The personal touch that we intentionally apply on these few can send ripples of positive effect when they leave more and more positive commentaries and tell others about us.

5. Missing on delivering what the brand promises.

Marketing is full of promises. Yes, when we do marketing, it is but right to position our companies or our brands the best way we can. We should always be inclined to convincing our audience to notice us, to choose us, to prefer us. That is what marketing is all about in the first place. But it is equally important to satisfy the needs of our market from the first moment of truth until the time we deliver the promise. Meaning, we must not be over-promising that which we cannot deliver. The moment we fail to provide that which we have proudly promoted, no amount of marketing can ever bring a dissatisfied customer back. Therefore, it is a must that our online marketing is truthful up to the point of actual product consumption or service completion.

These are just five simple and basic things but could potentially cause great damage to our businesses if not avoided. So if you are not yet on online marketing, perhaps now is the time for you to join but watch out for those pitfalls. For those who have been marketing digitally, well, it’s not too late to reflect on your practices and see if there are things above that you have been doing. It is never too late to change and never too late to fully reach our businesses’ potential through online marketing.

Top Ten Apps All Top Android Smartphones Must Never Miss

by

A simple trip to the app store will leave you spoilt for choice, and this is likely to be the case if you have recently acquired one of those much-hyped phones, such as the Galaxy s7 or the latest from Apple. Needless to say, app developers are burning the midnight oil to create as many apps as possible. You can easily save 50% of your communication bills using these apps.

Maybe you need to go through this article written by Couponmachine on, how mobile apps affect communication bills. However, a good deal of the apps may be considered bloat ware – they fill up the storage in your smartphone but play no significant role. The excitement that accompanies the purchase of a top-of-the range mobile device should not necessarily plunge the new owner into an app spree. Nevertheless, your new phone would not be worth the package wrapping its hardware if it doesn’t have the following apps:

LastPass

The moment you hold a new phone in your hands, the first thing to come to your mind is its security features. You think about the security of the phone itself as well as data. You wouldn’t one somebody snooping around your phone. It becomes even more complicated when you have several accounts with different passwords. You wonder if you will be able to remember all of them. LastPass is your best shot. The app saves all your passwords and auto-fills them into the sites you visit frequently. It also features a password generator that creates passwords, which are hard to crack. It does away with using birth dates or social security numbers as passwords!

Google drive

Your phone memory will always be limited. Now that your phone is soon replacing your laptop, you need ample storage for all your information, applications, and data. Your laptop will soon be relegated to a small back-up device. You have no choice but to download Google drive. Upon sign-up, you get access to a large 15 GB storage space free. Google drive stands out from the crowd because it offers you plenty of features such as Google Docs, Google sheets, Google slides and Google photos. You can virtually open any document on Google drive.

Nearbuy

Your phone can become much more than a communication device if you install the Nearbuy app. The app helps find businesses, restaurants, gas stations and many other facilities within your locality, or wherever you go. You can also land coupons and lucrative deals from nearby business – right from your smartphone. However, you need to remember that it requires the internet connection. Therefore, ensure that your phone stays connected to a stable internet so as to enjoy the full features of Nearbuy. This does not take anything away from this great app.

Evernote

Note taking has become part and parcel of our lives. Evernote is indispensable. It comes with a host of features. You can add an audio or video clip to your notes, making them interesting. The app also allows the user to insert an image into the notes. The app will also appeal to you even more because it can create lists. With Evernote on your mobile device, you will never need to move around with traditional writing materials. There is nothing wrong carrying a pen and a piece of paper for your notes, but you may lose the piece of paper or crumple it up absent-mindedly.

Here maps

You might wonder why you need another map app when you already have Google Maps pre-installed on your phone for Android users. Here maps ascended to fame via its offline ability. You can download maps to your phone and use them even when you no longer have an internet connection. While offline, the app still provides a turn-by-turn navigation support. This would be quite useful when touring remote places, which have no internet network support. Keep in mind that the worst can always happen and you run out broadband. You have your back covered by this wonderful app. Besides, it is absolutely free: just head to the app store and download it.

Google play music

The music systems in your house will soon be gathering dust due to disuse. I can bet with my bank account that all your favorite music and videos are currently tacked away in your phone storage. In simple terms, you are using your smartphone a multi-media player. Well, to enhance your multi-media experience, you need to install Google play music on your phone. The app enables you to upload your music to the cloud so you stream them on the go. If you combine it with You-Tube, you will have a truly amazing experience with your phone. If you need special features on this app, you can easily access by paying less than $10 per month. Nevertheless, the free version can do the job perfectly fine.

Pushbullet

There are many times you have tried to connect your phone to the PC. This often happens when you need to transfer data between the devices. In cases, your connection will be limited to sharing media and, of course, charging. With the Pushbullet app on your phone, you can do much more with the interconnection between the devices. You can make calls and send text messages from PC. You can also update the firmware on your phone via this app. Although the app currently exists as a paid version – you will need $50 per year to sustain it – its free version is just as effective. If you have not installed this app on your phone, dash to the app store and experience the difference.

SwiftKey

Well, you do more typing on your phone than your computer. You are always typing something on your phone. It may be a text message, keywords into a search engine or renaming all the apps on your phone. Consequently, you could do well with an app that makes your typing easier. Try SwiftKey and you will never be disappointed. It not only supports multiple languages but it also has many great features such as gesture typing. It would look awkward for your new phone to miss such an essential app.

Microsoft SMS Organizer

Knowing the importance of SMS in one’s life, here we wanted to share an Android texting app that makes SMS managing easier.  The Android SMS app we introduce to our readers is Microsoft SMS Organizer.  It classifies your text messages and helps you focus on important messages.  The app is lightweight and takes up less than 4MB of space on a mobile device.  Moreover, it works completely offline.  No need to worry about the privacy.
