FWA Photo launched recently
Mar 24
Our good friends at the FWA announced the launch of its brand new and latest daily destination site, FWA Photo. FWA Photo is a daily photography showcase highlighting some of the world’s most uplifting, thought-provoking, innovative and inspirational photography. FWA Photo will showcase one photograph every day via the website or via your iPhone. Users will have the option to save their favorite photos to their ‘LightBoxer’ to enjoy as a screensaver on their desktops. Users can register via the website for extra features including the ability to comment on any photograph. Professional photographers are encouraged to submit their best work to be displayed on the site.
PeopleBrowsr is a simple visual dashboard that adds more power to Twitter, your other online identities and those of your friends. PeopleBrowsr functions similar to TweetDeck by providing users with organized column views of their status updates and their personalized groups. PeopleBrowsr will also combine your friends and updates across all of your other social media worlds like Flickr, Facebook, FriendFeed, Seesmic, YouTube, and LinkedIn for an all-in-one Web-based view of your social world.
The PeopleBrowsr SXSW Tracker works in the same fashion with pre-fab columns that include updates with the #SXSW hashtag. For more detail on the SXSW PeopleBrowsr dashboard, watch the video below.

A few months ago I was invited to participate on a panel with some of top mobile marketers in the world to share our thoughts on the best & worst of the mobile web. A free e-Book was created based off of our feedback. In the e-Book you will read about the key principles behind success on the mobile web as highlighted by the panel. There are plenty of great examples highlighted, but also several duds.
As quoted from the e-Book, “There is still a huge disparity between best practice and common practice, with most mobile websites still clustering around the bottom of the effectiveness scale. But from this cluster, a few brands are leaping out; they’re getting it right and reaping the rewards. They’re creating simple, compelling mobile web experiences that entertain, satisfy a real need or do both.”
Here are some key pull-quotes from the e-Book:
“They seem to have taken a one-size-fits-all approach instead of using device targeting.”
“…browser crashes, poor information display and limited functionality.”
“They’ve kept it clean, easy to read and crisp – and it’s advertiser-friendly, which can be overlooked by publishers.”
