Strategy and Brand Development | | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

When developing a business’ brand strategy you need to answer couple questions first.

 

1. How well is your current strategy working?
2. What are the strengths, weaknesses, external opportunities and threats of your business?

3. Are the prices and costs competitive?

4. How strong is the company’s competitive position compared to established rivals?

5. What strategic issues does the established business face?

Create Easy Visually-Rich Data-Presentations with Piktochart | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Ai Ching and Andrea Zaggia are the authors and founders of Piktochart a new presentation tool (pre-beta) which promises to deliver a new approach to creating data-rich and visually engaging slideshows and infographs.

Piktochart leverages a number of tools which include a) the Story Teller, b) the Chart Wizard and c) Visual Themes which facilitate tremendously the presenter work by guiding him/her in the process of submitting relevant data and information that will be then applied to an appropriate visual solution.


The idea is certainly very good, but the novice user may find himself a bit lost in editing and organizing the content inside existing templates the first time around. 

 

Given some more good, high-quality templates, and less leeway for the user to make mistales, Piktochart moves one step in the direction that many communication tools will be taking next: making as easy as possible for anyone to produce professionally-looking presentations without being a graphic designer.

Find out more and give it a spin: http://piktochart.com/

Making Web Content Relevant: CircleMe

Making Web Content Relevant: CircleMe | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Building on the Social Web

 

A few months ago, I embarked in a project which has become more and more engaging and exciting as the weeks progress. With my partner Erik Lumer, we have been working hard in the development and distribution of a product called CircleMe, which Saul quickly spotted on his radar just less than a month from our public release, on October 4th, 2011. Our vision with CircleMe is to create an online environment where users can take advantage of technology and the social web to enjoy more their passions and interests in life (i.e., their “likes”).

 

Social Graph Power

 

The way we want to achieve this is by asking users to “connect” to the things and topics they love, and then CircleMe will leverage clever algorithms along with the power of the social graph to surface relevant content and new items tailored to each user. To get there, we need to move gradually. The first step has been to create an engaging environment where users can easily express all their ‘likes’ and discover (in a serendipic way) new things of potential interest. Then, as activity increases, we will have enough data to reach the goal to surface relevant content in a timely fashion for any interested user...

Is Facebook Killing Corporate Web Sites? « Sysomos Blog | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it
Will there be a need for "corporate sites" once all companies are all on Facebook (as they must)? I think yes because my former employer P&G can afford it and they like control. Facebook may become so corporate friendly external properties aren't necessary, but that day seems far off. Facebook is to variable and Wild West-Like for the moment and partnerships imply two way mutual benefit still a foreign concept to FB.
