Don’t worry about Apps your company needs a Mobile site

Click on the image above to see difference between user interactions for apps vs. sites.

We have all heard stories of people making a fortune with a cool app. But for most companies especially smaller ones a mobile site is the better choice.

Why choose a mobile web over an app ?

Apps are faster and more interactive than mobile sites. However, they are expensive and having a bad app is worse than no app at all. In the end it depends on what the user needs. If want a interactive experience with sports or news an app might make sense. However, if you are hungry and searching looking for a local restaurant or you locked your keys in your car, a mobile site is the clear winner.

Advantages of a mobile site

Easier to build and launch – You don’t need to get permission form Apple. This can be  nightmare.

Easier to provide cross-platform scalability. Mobile sites works across all platforms, where as apps are device specific (i.e. Iphone, Android, Blackberry, etc)

Easier to track – tracking traffic is easy and free with Google analytics.

By the end of this year more people will be using their smartphones than their computers to get online, make certain you are presenting them the best possible user experience.

Twitter and TV

Mobile Tweets Oreo SuperBowlTelevision is changing before our very eyes. People are now watching TV with their laptop and smartphone next to them on the couch. In many cases Twitter traffic during a TV episode functions like real-time Nielsen Rating reporting.

Here’s the clever tweet that Oreo’s agency tweeted during the Super Bowl blackout.  The cookie company’s agency 360i was gathered during the game and they designed, captioned the tweet within minutes.

Viewers apparently loved Oreo’s message, which was retweeted 10,000 times in one hour. This has many wondering did this single tweet have a greater reach than their million ad, which also played during the game.

Facebook’s new Graph Search

I continue to be concerned about privacy issues and use of Facebook. Facebook’s new Graph Search while increasing the depth of personalization, makes me even more paranoid.

Currently Facebook’s new Graph Search is in beta. However, when the new tool rolls out to more and more users,  they will be able to glean information from your page. Thus you might want to review your privacy settings. Even if you are not using Graph Search, others will be — and they might have access to pages you have like over the years. Thus they will be in a position to infer various concepts  about you, whether they are correct or incorrect.

I saw this possible search listed on The Huffington Post – Single women who live nearby and who are interested in men and like getting drunk.

Just do a search for “Lives in your town” “Single” “Interested in males” “Likes Getting Drunk”
