Social Media Basics: QR Madness!!! [OPINION]

I just read an article by Jeff Korhan that will definitely open your eyes to the world of QR codes. When done, I realized that only a handful of people I know, knew what a QR code was, and only another handful seem to care.

The age of the smartphone is upon us. When you start to look at what people are doing with QR codes, take this video for example, you'll will quickly see the use of QR codes is probably only limited to your imagination, granted, you'll will need a good imagination. I guess it will also depend on the educating those you intend have use your QR code, so be sure your audience knows how to use them or what they are using them for, otherwise they're useless.

If I had to chose, I'd say they will be most helpful in the retail/product industry, however, I can see some pretty unique applications for them in the information and services industries as well.

Fan Pages: Standard vs. Custom? [OPINION]

When I began creating fan pages, I admit to staying away from custom pages. This is mainly because I know too little html and frame code, and the iframe apps that are "code-only" favor the knowledgeable while having no mercy on the rest.

However, if you scour the daily bombardment of social media information like me, you will have no doubt found that creating custom fan pages are becoming easier to create due to some very helpful applications.


There are many click, drag and save type of applications popping up all the time, paid and free. Once upon a time, creating a website had eluded the novice designer, but now it's easy as pie. I can guess the customization of fan pages will follow the same evolution.


How do existing and potential customers view fan pages? If they have a genuine interest in page content, do they even care whether a fan page is customized or not? Does it matter?
