Value Is the New Luxury

Think about this, when was the last time you as a consumer felt blissful luxury? Was it spending full price at a restaurant because you could afford it? Doubt it. Was it spending full price on a retail item at a local store instead of ordering it online? Doubt it. Or was it using some technology to save money on the same things you enjoy everyday? Bingo.

I just saved huge on this meal because I used Groupon, LivingSocial, ScoutMob, SweetJacks, Valpax, Coupon Factory, and I can go on and on and on. All these value derived membership services that all suck in their own unique ways. So I present a solution to you, with no subscription or cost to you the consumer.

Imagine you could connect your local business with your consumer in a better way online with a new syndication technology. Your business loved our technology because it is cost effective, involving no revenue sharing, no half off only offers and gave you additional services like SEO and a Landing Page, at no extra charge. In addition, the Landing page features HD Video and hi-res pictures with your story, all included for free.

The consumer loves our technology because it functions like Craigslist, hauls like Google, guarantees them it is the best deal for that business online and works perfect with everything they already do/use online, including social media, smart phones and tablets. We do have an iPhone/iPad app, but not releasing it till we have more markets.

Then take that technology one step further and syndicate it on hundreds of web sites and multiple platforms. Google, Bing and Yahoo does not declare the technology as spam because the technology follows their stringent SEO rules.

The software benefits the sites that integrate our platform. For example, news affiliates love the important Search Engine Marketing improving dynamic content. In addition, most any  web site can incorporate our syndication technology right into it. Every time your business is discovered on a different site, it is indexed separately for the search engines when clicked organically by consumers.

One of the best features of this syndication technology is the ability to “filter” the service. For example, new Professional Services and Drink Specials sites are now live online. This allows the local consumer to research using the Professional filter the best local plumbers, dentists, hair stylists, real estate agents, etc all while seeing their value adding propositions. Imagine this in every market across the planet. It is incredible what this syndicated technology will do.

So if you had developed this technology what would you do next? Like any product, you have to bring it to market. So that is where Synd It Global comes in. Synd stands for syndication, and we will make it a household term. The team is working tirlessley to develop this revolutionary service in six markets. We are almost two down with a third on the horizon. We are connecting local businesses to new sites developing every month. It is not a quick or easy process, but it will pay off.

Synd it Global software is on 28 sites in Nashville. In total, Synd it Global now works with 842 businesses covering 64 web sites in 3 regions. I prefer not to go into great detail on the current sites as they constantly change, evolve and grow. But if you are reading this, you maybe want to save a few dollars. If you are in the Virgin Islands or Nashville, here are some great sites we have live that work great.

Another update and revolutionary product from Google is there upcoming Google Chrome OS. I’m pretty sure you are familiar with the browser version, which since the last update has become my browser of choice. Nothing comes close to loading Web pages, especially data intensive ones like Facebook.com. If you feel like trying it out, I highly recommend Google Chrome Browser by clicking here. But, will the Chome OS (Operating System) honestly be stable and ready to seriously challenge Microsoft’s OS, Windows 7, Vista and so on. Well, from what we know, that is not Google mission. The following is a collection of articles about previews and information Google has released.

At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Enjoy, this in incredible. I know I will be recommending sponsor IBM’s stock and any other company that decides to move forward with this technology.

I was recently introduced to ShowDocument – an online application which enables real-time collaboration and web meetings using various tools. There are a lot of available programs already offering web conferencing solutions , so what’s different about this one?

First of all, using ShowDocument requires only registration, and is entirely web-based – except for a small plug-in you’ll be asked to install in your first session. This online service is currently free and supports different platforms, which can make it an attractive alternative for conducting web meetings.

The main site offers 4 ways to directly open a web meeting and start collaborating – shared documents, whiteboard, text editor or co-browser. These options can also be chosen later from within the application. Inside the program, you have the regular tools that help you write and draw in order to work on documents and images, along with a few unique features. There is a Youtube co-browser, and a Google Maps browser, which simply enables co-browsing google maps (see image), and drawing on them. – apparently it also has a facebook application. The webpages co-browser still needs improvement but has great potential.

Show Document Example

ShowDocument has a number of easy and interactive ways to collaborate with co-workers & friends, as seen in the above picture. As you can see, most of ShowDocument’s options are rather self-explanatory, making usage easy, as well as inviting others into the web conference – which can be done by code or link. Its an alternative worth checking out, if you need a light and free application for online collaboration.

If you are lucky enough to test Google’s new revolutionary collaboration tool, Google Wave, be happy. But, confusion and questions have risen about just how to use it and/or maximize the software’s potential. That is where these two Google Wave Guides can come in handy. One is from Mashable, Google Wave: A Complete Guide, by Ben Purr and the other is called The Complete Guide to Google Wave, by Gina Trapani with Adam Pash.

From The Complete Guide to Google Wave- “Google Wave is a new web-based collaboration tool that’s notoriously difficult to understand. This guide will help. Here you’ll learn how to use Google Wave to get things done with your group. Because Wave is such a new product that’s evolving quickly, this guidebook is a work in progress that will update in concert with Wave as it grows and changes. Read more about The Complete Guide to Google Wave.”

I do hope these two links can help you learn the future of email and online collaboration better. Google Wave may be complicated but guides like these sure help.

This article, “5 New Technologies That Will Change Everything”  from PC World by Glenn Fleishman is all about some future technology that is coming in the not-so-distant future.

He disscussed 3D TV, HTML5, video over Wi-Fi, superfast USB 3.0, and mobile “augmented reality.” All these future techn0logyies will emerge as breakthrough technologies in the next few years!

Read the article to get a preview of what they do and how they work. Personally, I’m extremely excited about 3D TV and improved Wi-Fi. But each of these upcoming technologies will have an impact on our lives. Hopefully in all positive ways. Although augmented reality could be a bit much.

Improved Wi-Fi preview ” By 2012, two new protocols–802.11ac and 802.11ad–should be handling over-the-air data transmission at 1 gbps or faster. As a result, future users can have multiple high-definition video streams and gaming streams active across a house and within a room. Central media servers, Blu-ray players, and other set-top boxes can sit anywhere in the home, streaming content to end devices in any location. For example, an HD video display, plugged in with just a power cord, can stand across the room from a Blu-ray player, satellite receiver, or computer–no need for expensive, unsightly cables.”

On 3D TV Sets: “Poor expects that 3DTV will be but a minor upgrade to existing HDTV sets. The upgraded sets will need a modified display controller that alternates images 60 per second for each eye, as well as an infrared or wireless transmitter to send synchronization information to the 3D glasses.” That is great news because I love my TV and do not want to spend another grand to upgrade. In addition, I hope video games also have the 3D ability.

So please take a look at 5 New Technologies That Will Change Everything. Read the full description on 3D TV, HTML5, video over Wi-Fi, superfast USB 3.0, and mobile “augmented reality.

Best,
