De indigente a “punto” Wi-Fi: la publicidad lo hace todo posible

Marketingdirecto.com 12 marzo 2012 Dejar un comentario

marketingdirecto.com

Esta semana se está celebrando laSXSW, la conferencia anual de tecnología que acaba de empezar en Austin. Con motivo del gran evento, 13 personas sin techo deambulan alrededor del centro de conferencias con camisetas blancas que dicen “yo soy _____, un punto de acceso 4G”. Cada uno lleva un dispositivo de conexión inalámbrica a internet y, por una donación de PayPal, proporcionará a los asistentes acceso a internet durante el tiempo que necesiten, según informaBuzzfeed.com.

Los diez hombres son parte de una campaña de publicidad que recibe el nombre de “Homeless Hotspots”, elaborada por la empresa de marketing BBH. Las críticas a la iniciativa no se han hecho esperar pero desde BBH, defienden su campaña y niegan que vean a las personas sin hogar como mero hardware… Sigue leyendo →

Distintos sectores se entusiasman con los pagos vía celular

e-mango | Smart Money, pagos vía celular 5 marzo 2012 Dejar un comentario

Pagar las compras con un teléfono móvil será muy pronto una realidad para los consumidores, pero queda por saber a quién beneficiará este nuevo mercado: a los bancos, a los operadores de telefonía o a nuevos actores procedentes de internet

El pago con móvil utiliza diferentes tecnologías. En unas, el consumidor puede pagar gracias a un monedero electrónico ubicado en la web; y en otras, puede efectuar su compra de forma segura con sólo pasar su teléfono frente a un lector NFC, sin contacto ni número secreto.

Esta última solución obliga al comprador a disponer de un teléfono especialmente equipado, o a cargar su tarjeta SIM, mientras que el vendedor necesita equiparse con un terminal especial de pago. Es la preferida por los operadores y los bancos, pero parece principalmente destinada a los países desarrollados.

En argentina la empresa 3wfactory, tiene en etapa de testing a e-mango | Smart Money, una apuesta de capitales locales y desarrollo 100% local.

Sin embargo, pese a que ya se realizaron en algunas ciudades “experiencias a tamaño real (…), se constata que estamos aún lejos de una utilización masiva por los consumidores y de un despliegue industrial por parte de los comerciantes”, subraya Patrick Flamant, responsable de la firma Ogone, operador de pago por internet.

La red social ResearchGate, una plataforma construida específicamente para facilitar la comunicación entre científicos e investigadores, ha anunciado una nueva ronda de financiación. Su objetivo es servir como un añadido, una herramienta complementaria a quienes trabajan en laboratorios y universidades, para promover una mayor cercanía y coordinación en el seno de esta comunidad.

...and a bit of everything!, CRAZY PEOPLE - CRAZY WORLD, Techcrunch.com 26 febrero 2012 Dejar un comentario

 JONEVANS | http://techcrunch.com

Almost none of the stuff on the radar of the silicon valley echo-chamber is innovative or solves any real human needs. They won’t cure anyone of disease, feed a child, improve the environment, or radically improve manufacturing…

Pinterest? Quora? Other social apps. It’s all a big distraction, it’s entertainment…

It’s all well and fine to pursue these avenues for making money. But don’t pretend there’s anything really innovative going on, that 50 years from now someone’s going to look back like we look back at Einstein, Darwin, or Newton and say ‘thanks’.

That’s from a comment written by one Ray Cromwell, regarding a week-old TechCrunch post about Pinterest — and I have to admit, it struck a chord. And I’m clearly not alone: lamentations re the paucity of meaningful innovation in today’s Valley are growing increasingly common. PayPal founder Peter Thiel, in a recentinteresting conversation with Francis Fukuyama, actually questions “whether we’re still living in a technologically advancing society at all.” Sigue leyendo →

¿Cómo conviene pagar desde el celular?

Google Wallet 16 febrero 2012 Dejar un comentario

Esta semana Google retiró del mercado su servicio de Google Wallet después de encontrar fallas en su sistema de Near Field Communication (o comunicación de campo cercano, en castellano). Algunos dicen que la solución podría estar en los servicios de tecnología en la nube.

¿Apple o Mac? ¿Coca-Cola o Pepsi? ¿Tecnología NFC o en la nube? Esa parece ser la última controversia en el mundo de la tecnología. Después de que Google anunciase esta semana la interrupción de su servicio Google Wallet para pagar productos con un teléfono inteligente vía NFC, algunos dicen que la respuesta a los problemas de seguridad estaría en la tecnología en la nube que usan empresas como PayPal para pagar productos online.
No hay que confundirse. La tecnología en la nube está de moda pero expertos como Lana Albert, de Globys, dicen que no hay que dar por muerta a la tecnología NFC. Algunos de los gigantes de la industria móvil todavía apuestan al pago mediante este servicio aunque, aclara Albert, la controversia se definirá cuando Apple decida si usará o no un chip NFC.

Barclays launches mobile payment app Pingit

econsultancy.com 16 febrero 2012 Dejar un comentario

http://econsultancy.com

Barclays has launched a money transfer app that allows customers to send and receive cash using just a mobile phone number.

‘Pingit’ is available for Barclays customers today, with a wider roll out to all current account holders at any bank in the UK scheduled for March.

The service removes the need for account details to be exchanged, or card readers used, by linking a customer’s account to their mobile device.

To send funds, users need just need to download the free Barclays Pingit app – available on iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

Each transaction is protected by a five-digit passcode, which is set by the user, and payments can be between £1 and £300 with a maximum of £5,000 per day.

While this version of the app currently only allows Barclays customers to send funds, customers of any bank can receive payments by signing up on the Barclays website and registering their mobile device.

Pingit is just one of a number of mobile payment services that has been launched recently, but it is the first to be made available by a major UK bank.

PayPal handled $4bn worth of mobile payments in 2011 and has been busy trialling several new services in recent months. Sigue leyendo →

Cómo sobreviviríamos un día sin Internet

Facebook, Google +, Internet, LA NACION 15 enero 2012 Dejar un comentario

Tecnología / La protesta digital contra una ley antipirateria

Este miércoles, los gigantes de la Red, como Google y Facebook, podrían suspender sus servicios; ¿el mundo está preparado para ello?

Por Franco Varise | LA NACION

Supongamos que ese día limpie la casa y acomode sus discos; cambie una lamparita y anote varias ideas para no perderlas; hasta lea un libro, cocine y algunas cosas más. ¿Así sería un día sin Internet? Tal vez. Pero otra versión menos doméstica indica que personas, empresas, instituciones y gobiernos quedarían paralizadas. Podría causar trastornos de ansiedad, incomunicación, impactar en la economía mundial y, porque no, otorgar algo de paz a los adictos a la Red de Redes.

Y todo esto podría ocurrir este miércoles.

La amenaza de Google, Yahoo!, Facebook, Foursquare, Twitter, Wikipedia, Amazon, Mozilla, AOL, eBay, PayPal, IAC, Linkedin, OpenDNS y Zynga de suspender sus servicios por 24 horas frente al debate en el Congreso de los Estados Unidos de la ley antipiratería digital conocida como Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), que restringiría a la posibilidad de compartir contenidos, abrió un interrogante: ¿qué pasaría si ése u otro día cualquiera, Internet, algo que hoy se considera tan “natural” como la luz eléctrica o el agua corriente, ya no estuviera ahí disponible?

Para tener una idea del impacto bastan algunos datos. En un día, en la Web se registran más de 100.800 dominios, se mandan 250.000 millones de mails, se suben 864.000 videos a YouTube, se escriben más de 936.000.000 comentarios en Facebook y se emiten 102.600.000 tweets .

Eso no es todo. En Google se realizan 1000 millones de búsquedas, se escriben 2.160.000 actualizaciones de blogs , se producen 532.800.000 llamadas por Skype y se descargan en iPhones 18.720.000 aplicaciones.

Parece mentira, pero en veinte años Internet logró que casi toda actividad humana esté montada sobre ella de una manera difícil de imaginar. Y, aunque el mundo existió antes de Internet, de manera “analógica”, imaginarse qué sería de la humanidad sin la conectividad y ubicuidad de los dispositivos tecnológicos suena por lo menos raro.

WikiLeaks, Influence, and The Age of Honesty

Blog.ogilvypr.com 31 diciembre 2010

by revisl

http://blog.ogilvypr.com/2010/12/wikileaks-influence-honesty/

We wear a mask that grins and lies
It hides our cheeks and shades our eyes
This debt we pay to human guile
With torn and bleeding hearts we smile

- Paul Lawrence Dunbar

It begins when we are children. As Steve Hein of EQI.org points out, “Children start out emotionally honest. They express their true feelings freely and spontaneously. But the training to be emotionally dishonest begins at an early age. The child is told to smile when actually she is sad. She is told to apologize when she feels no regret. She may be told to kiss people good night when she would never do so voluntarily.” In short, she will slowly be influenced to conform to a social structure that attempts to control what feels true.

But what does emotional honesty have to do with WikiLeaks and Digital Influence, you ask?

It’s simple really. We are still struggling – as individuals and as countries – to break down the walls of ‘protection’ that we have been brought up to believe we must build. We have not yet replaced those walls with the bridges necessary to fully transform society.

We’re secretive. We’re protective. We’re afraid. Sigue leyendo →

13 Options for Selling Digital Products on Your Website

...and a bit of everything! 9 diciembre 2010

http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/tools/selling-digital-products/

There is no shortage of options for managing an e-commerce website. There are all kinds of shopping carts and e-commerce content management systems that have a wide variety of strengths and weaknesses. Finding the right option for selling digital downloads, however, can prove to be a challenge.

There are a lot of factors to consider when selling digital files. You’ll need an effective setup for instant delivery. There are choices to be made between a flat pricing structure or per transaction fees. You can either host the files on your own or go with a provider that will host the files for you. You’ll also have to decide what features are important to you, such as being able to offer coupon codes and managing an affiliate program. If you’re selling a large number of products and/or large files it will only make your decision process more complicated and pricey. Sigue leyendo →

Can PayPal Micro Payments Save Newspapers And Other Content Producers?

Sin categoría 9 octubre 2010

http://www.simplyzesty.com/technology/pay-pal-micro-payments-save-newspapers-content-producers/

Screen shot 2010 10 07 at 20.21.57 Can PayPal Micro Payments Save Newspapers And Other Content Producers? I used to read The Times every single day of the week. I loved their sports coverage and it was my “go to” newspaper. Then the pay wall went up and I stopped reading. I didn’t stop reading because they were asking me to pay but I stopped because I really couldn’t be bothered adding in my credit card details and going through the sign up process. What the Times needed to get in order to get my custom was a one click solution that allowed me to make a micro payment without even thinking about it. It looks like Paypal could be about to launch that very system with word that the payment giant is about to have a stab at the micro payment market. I wanted to have a look at just how effective micropayments could be and if they could possibly help some of the struggling newspapers and content producers out there who are all scrambling around for a business model.

Reducing The Friction

Nobody wants to pay for content online because the friction of getting your credit card out is just too painful and time consuming. With a new solution where you pre-load you Paypal account and just click a button without evening thinking about it I think the chances of people paying for content increase massively. I still check the headlines every day on The Times but I don’t go in because of the friction but if I saw something that caught my eye at simply had to make a payment of a couple of cents then that is something that I might just do.

Screen shot 2010 10 07 at 20.25.10 Can PayPal Micro Payments Save Newspapers And Other Content Producers?

Freemium Model

For this to work really well I think publishers will still have to give away a significant amount of their content for free. I can only really see people paying tiny amounts for the really special content that they can’t find elsewhere. Maybe a special live streamed show or a expert analysis from well known journalists. To make this business model really work publishers need to attract large volumes of people and then convert a small percentage of them in to revenue by enticing them to click through to the really good content via micro payments.

Top 5 Excellent E-Commerce Plugins for WordPress

With the internet being used more and more by your average consumer, you may be wanting to start your own online shop so you can unleash your products to all those potential customers. I’m sure you know that there are countless ways to do just this, but here I’m going to talk specifically about e-commerce plugins for WordPress.

Maybe you’ve heard about the odd plugin that allows you to sell products from your WordPress blog, but you might not know exactly what they are. To help you on your way to selling your products, I’m going to tell you about the five best e-commerce plugins for WordPress.

1. Ecwid

Ecwid is a free plugin for WordPress. It is a full shopping cart/e-commerce system that is extremely easy to install and even easier to maintain. It’s also customizable so you can have it looking however you like. See their showcase gallery that features live sites that use this WordPress plugin.

But as with most things in life, there is a downside. Ecwid uses Ajax for nearly everything, so SEO could be affected and users who don’t have JavaScript enabled can find it impossible to use your site. But don’t let that stop you because this is being worked on and there are already three solutions that you can utilize. Sigue leyendo →

Your Smartphone Will Soon Double as Your Wallet

Wallet, over filled, credit cards, receipt

Photograph by Sue Tallon

The race is on to transform your smartphone into your wallet.

The Japanese call it osaifu keitai (cell-phone wallet). Flash your phone virtually anywhere you go for almost any purchase and it’s automatically logged into a digital expense report. Eat frequently at McDonald’s? Tap your phone to pay and your all-in-one debit card/receipt tracker/loyalty program may instantly offer you 10% off.

Today, if you want to enjoy these benefits, you have to go to Japan. But after years of talk, wireless carriers, banks, startups, and handset makers are now actively working to transform Americans’ cell phones into mobile wallets. The goal: to snag a share of the processing fees associated with the $3.2 trillion in annual retail credit-card charges, and to turn the $1.2 trillion in cash and check spending into digital transactions.

The Most Popular Payment Solutions for Freelancers (Charts)

Readwriteweb.com 31 agosto 2010

freshbookschartlogo What’s the best way to do one-time or recurring billing for your online business? That’s an important question for the growing legion of independent service providers transitioning countless business transactions onto the web.

That which is most popular may not be the best, but it’s a good place to start looking. Popular online invoicing service FreshBooks posted today two pie charts (below) quantifying the most popular services used by FreshBooks customers to bill their clients, both inside and outside the US. PayPal may be the winner in one-time billings, but not by much. In recurring billings, it’s not even close to number one. Sigue leyendo →

5 Tips to Prevent Bad Debt

Sin categoría 24 agosto 2010

Jason Finnerty

One of the great things that I have found about freelancing is the thrill of finding new clients. One of the roughest parts of being a freelancer is waiting to see if your new client is going to pay you for the services you provided.

Here are a few ways that might be useful for you prevent bad debt and maintain your freelance paycheck:

Communicate – Be upfront and clear as to what your payment expectations are. If you require a deposit before any work is completed (and you are fully within your rights to do so) then be firm that work doesn’t start until you’ve received the payment. Be consistent with your policies so all parties involved understand the expectations.

Part of your payment expectations can include a credit or background check. If you have your prospective client provide you with references, take the time to call the references to find out what kind of client you are looking at. A quick phone call today can prevent a lot of headache tomorrow.

Communication works for those who work at it.
John Powell

Invoice – Whether you’re using Freshbooks or just an excel spreadsheet that you’ve converted to pdf (you are converting them to pdf, right?), make sure you send an invoice out to each client. This invoice needs to include your name and business address, as well as your clients name and business address. A detailed breakdown of the services performed can help prevent “misunderstandings.”

There’s always something to be thankful for. If you can’t pay your bills, you can be thankful you’re not one of your creditors. (Anonymous) Sigue leyendo →
