  • The Rise of Video Conferencing [Infographic]

    The Rise of Video Conferencing [Infographic]

    As technology becomes ever-more sophisticated, it can help us to change the way we do business, streamlining processes helping us to save time and money. A technological advancement that is being used by more and more companies is video conferencing.

    A recent survey by Powwownow discovered that how video conferencing is affecting the way more and more businesses have meetings and communicate with each other.

    Cost-effective

    So many businesses are looking for ways to save time and cut costs. Lower budgets mean that companies need to be resourceful with what they have. A trip out of the office for staff to go to meetings can be costly between the train and taxi fares and daily expenses. The survey found that 70% of SMEs would rather participate in a video conference than travel to a business meeting.

    Replacing the Telephone

    At one time holding a teleconference was considered a cost-effective way to communicate business to business without travelling.

    However, the survey revealed that the average attention span on a telephone call or conference was only 23 minutes, while the average attention span for video conferences was 35 minutes. It is expected that video conferencing will replace traditional means of business communication.

    A Time for Change

    As more businesses are adopting video conferencing as means of communicating and holding meetings without incurring travel expenditure, more and more companies believe that it will soon replace conference calls completely. 65% of CIOs believe that desk phones will become redundant over the next few years.

    This infographic explores the results of the survey showing that more companies are considering video conferencing as a more cost-effective way to communicate as well as working remotely without incurring travel costs or relying on older technology such as teleconferencing equipment.

  • BT’s Dial-up Internet Service Gets the Axe

    BT’s Dial-up Internet Service Gets the Axe

    As a consequence of the small fraction of BT customers using the company’s dial-up internet service, the national telecommunications company have made the decision to take this “outdated” facility off the market.

    As far as Think Broadband representative Sebastian Lahtinen is concerned, “It’s a statement of how mainstream broadband services have become, with entry-level broadband being cheaper than the dial-up plans BT is closing down.”

  • Google Hummingbird Changes the Game Again

    Google Hummingbird Changes the Game Again

    Every so often Google shakes up the search landscape with an unforeseen update that sends SEO managers into a frenzy. Maybe it’s a new security encryption, or maybe it’s new piece of the search puzzle. In select cases, we’ve seen a comprehensive algorithm rewrite.

    In the last month or so, Google has introduced all three. In an unprecedented slew of updates, Google eliminated organic keyword data, introduced hashtag value in its search results, and more importantly, released Hummingbird, the biggest technological update in at least three years. Marketing managers are trying to put the pieces of their SEO strategies back together, in many cases with pieces missing. It’s a classic Google move: Invoke chaos and see who comes out on top. It’s up to you to employ the proper responses to keep your website relevant in search rankings.

  • Fix: AdSense Scorecard Revenue Optimization Issue

    Fix: AdSense Scorecard Revenue Optimization Issue

    I don’t log into my AdSense account as much as I once did, but recently when I decided to check out my stats I noticed that I had a minor issue with the AdSense scorecard. It was indicating a minor problem with my revenue optimization. The rating for that area dropped from 5 to 3, even though I hadn’t done anything with my ads recently.

    Upon closer inspection I noticed the following message:


    Displaying both text and image ads increases competition for ads to appear on your site, and may help you earn more.

    After looking at my current ads I noticed that they were all set to text and image ads. I wasn’t sure what the above message was referring to, until I dug a little deeper

    UnoDNS from UnoTelly Review

    If you live in the United States you have probably enjoyed the freedom of viewing a lot of streaming content. Much of that content can’t be viewed outside of the United States, so for people like me who would like to also view that content, we are pretty much out of luck. Well, almost.

    Being a Canadian, I felt joy when I heard that Netflix was finally going to be available in Canada, but unfortunately became disappointed when I realized that much of what Americans can view would not be available in my country. In the age of the Internet, which connects the world in a way no other technology has done in the past, there are still many barriers in place that limit how we are connected.

    There is a solution to knock down those geo-block barriers, however, and one particular service provided by UnoTelly is called UnoDNS.
