The Best Products of CES 2011
Kevin Burns | January 25th, 2011
The Consumer Electronic Show (CES) lived up to its hype this year by delivering around 50 tablets and featuring over 100 companies with 3D products. About 140,000 people attended this event to see the most technologically advanced products from 2,700 companies, and without a doubt each guest left with a sense of amazement. There is no way I would be able to cover all the products displayed this year, but I will be discussing the top products from CNet’s Best of CES 2011 Awards, and then revealing the number one product from each category. Let’s start the overview with a rapidly growing industry, Car Tech. The three items that stood out in this category are the Toyota Entune, OnStar for After Market, and Countour Mobile. Of these three new products the most coveted item in the eyes of CNet editors is the Toyota Entune. Toyota Entune brings popular apps to your car on a bright LCD screen, and makes using them advantageous to drivers. The next category in CNet’s Best of CES this year is Design. The four products that received the most buzz for their blueprint are the Samsung HT-D7, Casio Tryx, Acer Iconia, and Samsung 9 Series. In the eyes of CNet’s editors the Casio Tryx deserved the award for greatest design because of its ability to twist, turn and be contorted in various ways to assist the photographer in their pursuit of interesting images. I had to deviate from CNet’s desicion here because I found the Acer Iconia to be much more interesting, and honestly on my Continue reading…

New Tools That Make A Difference
Kevin Burns | December 14th, 2010
In the near future, deforestation could lead to our last white Christmas. This is true because leveling our carbon absorbing forests is the number one contributor to green house gas build up. This growing problem is a top priority for tropical countries around the world, and because of the immense size of this issue people and companies from around the world are contributing time and money to the cause. One company that can handle the amount of data that needs to be compiled and reviewed constantly in order to keep track of our changing forests is Google. Through a new program called Google Earth Engine users can stay up to the moment with current changes and long term trends of global deforestation. This blog will be covering the tools scientists around the world are using to help perserve our rain forests and a few other recently release tools that you can use to influence the world you live in. Google Earth Engine was launched on December 2nd at the International Climate Change Conference. This new Google tool compiles 25 years of satellite images to help scientists around the world compare our forests over time. Google is also working closely with indigenous tribes of the Amazon forests in Brazil, by providing them with tools to monitor their forests. These tools include android phones that help specify location and devices that help indicate a lower amount of carbon-dioxide where the preservation of trees is taking place. Google is also working closely with Carnegie Institute of Science, and together they have developed a tool called Continue reading…
Wpromote featured on “Countdown to the Closing Bell” on Fox Business
Maria Sass | October 12th, 2010
LOS ANGELES (FOX) – Attending Dartmouth College in 2001, Mike recognized the need for a greater digital visibility for all businesses. Wpromote was born out of Mike’s Dartmouth College dorm room in 2001 as a way to help companies garner and increase their online presence through Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising. “It was a lucrative hobby at the time,” said Mothner. During the Fall semester of his Senior year at Dartmouth, Mike went through corporate recruiting for banking and consulting. He had made it to the final round of interviews at Goldman Sachs in New York, when he had a life changing moment. The interviewer looked down on his resume, and saw Wpromote listed as a successful venture. To call his bluff he asked, “If this is true, why would you want to work here?” “I don’t think he really expected the answer he was going to get,” said Mothner. “It was one of those little defining moments and something kind of snapped, and I said ‘I think that’s a good point. This is probably not the place for me.’ So if I am going to turn down Goldman, I might as well cancel the rest of interviews, and the wheels were set in motion at that point.” Wpromote, Inc. now has 65 employees, is a four-time Inc 500 Honoree, and is ranked the #1 Search Marketing Firm in the U.S. (source: TopSEOs.com).

Tues News: 4/13 (End of Days Edition)
Michael Block | April 13th, 2010
They say that all good things must come to an end. You were probably worried that this applied to the Tues News since we took a week off, weren’t you? Well, maybe not. Anyway, the predictions associated with endings are often a bit exaggerated. According to different groups of doomsayers, we were supposed to run out of oil by now, computers should have already turned on their human masters and the four horsemen of the apocalypse should have begun their terrible ride. Sometimes predictions can be right on, sometimes they can be a little hasty. What’s always true is that bold prophecies about the “end of _____” are always entertaining, if not a little foreboding. This week, on the Tues News, I’m bringing to light three interesting theories about “the end” of various things that we have become very accustom to. Without further ado, let’s get going! The End of Books: Books have been under attack since their inception. They have had to survive difficult manufacturing processes, widespread illiteracy, the advent of the radio, motion pictures, television and the Internet, the rise of e-readers and many other signs of the bookpocalypse. Of course, books have proven to be natural survivors. Well, according to author and columnist, Paul Carr, the iPad will represent the final nail in the coffin for books. It’s not that it’s a better e-reader, he argues, it isn’t. It’s just that who would want to read a book (on paper or e-ink) when they can browse Internet, Continue reading…

Tues News: 3/30 (Google in Hot Water Edition)
Michael Block | March 30th, 2010
Google has been getting it’s way and throwing its weight around for a while now. If you get in Google’s way, they are likely to buy you out or do what you do better than you do it. If you’re going along for the ride with them, you’d better be sure not to make them angry. They’ve very quickly established themselves as the most important and salient company of the last decade. Well, as it turns out, the 10s won’t be as easy as the 00s, by all measures, for Google. This year is already starting out with some serious contention and competition for Google. In this edition of the Tues News, we’ll check out some of the troubles that are likely to plague Google in the near future and possibly beyond that. Let’s get going! Apple’s Entry into the Ad Market: Google is the undisputed king of search marketing for some time now. Even though AdWords wasn’t first, it proved to be the best, most user-friendly and most worthwhile method to post ads on SERPs. Google has never looked back and even purchased AdMob to make sure that their footing in the mobile search market is secure. Well, it seems that Apple has plans to throw its hat in the ring as well and iAd could be devastatingly powerful given the dominance of the iPhone and upcoming release of the iPad. It’s true, there are now contenders running Google’s Android OS, but the iPhone remains king and the iPad Continue reading…
