Can I still get an Energy Efficient Free Lunch?
By Clay Breshears (Intel) (196 posts) on February 17, 2012 at 3:49 pm
Comments (0)
When the semiconductor industry was turning to multicore chips and lowering clock rates, Herb Sutter wrote a seminal article entitled "The Free Lunch is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software." Up to that point software developers relied on the increasing clock speeds (the "free lunch") to give their software a boost in the next generation [...]

B2B Marketing Tips For Popular Social Networking Sites
By Kevin Murphy (1 posts) on February 16, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Comments (0)
For more social media management tips, join us for a free webinar with HootSuite on Friday, February, 17 at 11 a.m. PST. This webinar is open to Intel® Software Partner Program members in North America. Find the registration link in your email inbox (subject: "Learn to Effectively Manage your Social Media Accounts with HootSuite"). If you are not a member, join the Intel® Software Partner Program to receive email about upcoming events.
Social media tends to get a bad rap in the B2B space. You may have heard from colleagues that Twitter is all about what people had for lunch, and Facebook is the place where you go to make sure your career is better than your high school ex’s career. Thank goodness for LinkedIn; without it B2B folks would be completely left out of social networking, right?
In reality, all social networking sites hold potential for B2B marketers. Each site has its own personality and needs a strategy unique to the audience and community activity on those sites. Consider this: Social media was the leading “emerging channel†for lead generation in 2010, according to Unisfair. The same study found 61 percent of U.S. marketers use social media to increase lead generation.
It’s only gone upwards from there in terms of potential. In March, Salesforce.com acquired Radian6, bringing the potential of the social web into lead gen. Even more recently, Facebook issued its long-awaited IPO, solidifying its place as the globally established social platform.

It cited a market research report that claimed there would be 1 million new jobs added due to the robotics industry over the next 5 years. Many of these jobs will come from obvious sources like [...]

It's a topic that I am very excited about this year, and in this blog I will expand on the subject to address what types of applications can take advantage of [...]

Social Media Starter-Kit: Using LinkedIn to Build the Reputation of your Software Business
By Wendy Thomas (4 posts) on February 12, 2012 at 5:35 pm
Comments (0)
LinkedIn may have started out being a place for job-seeking professionals to find connections and new employment, but it is now also a powerful marketing tool for businesses. It’s an incredible resource that gives you worldwide exposure for your company. LinkedIn is about connections. With more than 2 million businesses, LinkedIn is a powerful way to network and meet people relevant to your business and professional needs.
Businesses of all sizes always want new clients. Once your business has a business page created, you, and other employees in your company, start building exposure for your company by reconnecting, or linking, with people you already know. This is done by sending an ‘invitation to connect.’ These people can be from any part of life – past clients, past colleagues, high school, college, current and past associations, groups, fields of interest, and so on. As they connect with you, you will be able to identify others you’d like to connect with. You can do that directly, or ask for an introduction from a current connection, depending on the type of relationship.
Either way, you want to have your ‘handshake’ ready (basically your electronic elevator speech, short, sweet, and simple.) Tell the person why... (Read more....)

Social Media Starter-Kit: Using Facebook to Market your Software Company
By Wendy Thomas (4 posts) on February 12, 2012 at 5:21 pm

Facebook started in 2004 as a social network directory for college students, but now it’s used by all ages. It’s still a great tool for personal connections, but it’s also powerful for businesses wanting to stay in touch with their audience and attract new customers.
Facebook has millions of users and continues to grow every day. Businesses of all sizes access the power of Facebook by creating a ‘page.’ The page has different functionality from the common ‘profile’ that is created for an individual. Think of the Facebook business page as a small-scale combination website and blog because you can have static information as well as real-time comments posted to the ‘wall’ (acts like a company bulletin board) of your page.
A page’s audience is built ... (Read more....)

Social Media Starter-Kit: Using Blogs to Promote your Software Company
By Wendy Thomas (4 posts) on February 12, 2012 at 4:03 pm

Like a complicated puzzle, it's always tough to figure out where to start when you are planning your internet marketing campaign. There's Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, websites, and blogs. That's a lot of things going on at the same time. So where does one start and with what? The easiest answer to this, of course, is to start at the beginning. Once you've built your platform, your customers will then be able to begin finding you.
The first place to start is a website and a blog, but before you can do that (I wasn't kidding when I talked about it being a complicated puzzle) you need to sit down and everyone on your team needs to agree on a few things which will become the foundation of your company's platform including:
