Samsung Galaxy S5 mini

It grew slightly compared to its predecessor with a 4.5" screen, keeping within the
reasonable limits of "mini". The specs aren't particularly high-end though it retains
 the trademark features of the big Galaxy S5. The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini is built
 around a 4.5" Super AMOLED screen of 720p resolution.

It measures 131.1 x 64.8 x 9.1 and weighs 120g, compared to 124.6 x 61.3 x 8.9
 mm and 107g of the Galaxy S4 mini. The good news is that the pixel density went
 from 256ppi to 326ppi. The body is IP67 certified meaning it is completely dust
 tight and can be submerged under up to a meter of water for half an hour.
Interestingly there's no flap covering the microUSB 2.0 port on the bottom,
Samsung has managed to make it water resistant with some sort of special coating.
 The back is perforated leather and features a heart rate monitor, while the
 hardware Home key on the front doubles as a fingerprint reader. Samsung
Galaxy S5 mini The processing power hasn't gone up significantly - the Galaxy
 S5 mini packs four Cortex-A7 cores @ 1.4GHz, while RAM remains at 1.5GB.
 The internal storage was doubled to 16GB there's a microSD card slot if
 that's not enough. The Galaxy S5 mini will come out with Android 4.4 KitKat
and feature S Health, Private mode, Kids mode and Ultra Power Saving mode.
 The battery capacity went up a bit to 2,100mAh.

The connectivity was bumped up to 150Mbps LTE and keeps the IR blaster
 on top. The camera department remains unchanged at 8MP stills
 and 1080p @ 30fps video.

 promote your content.

Post on your site/blog.You’re doing that anyway, of course. But it’s
amazing what people forget if it’s not on a checklist.

Submit content to generic social sites eg, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook,
StumbleUpon, Digg and nowGoogle +.

Submit to your specialist social networking sites

Use your specialist contacts by email, direct tweets and even telephone.

Contact journalists you know personally. Don’t just issue press releases

Contribute with guest posts and articleson specialist blogs and sites.

Issue press releases to online and offline specialist distributors like
 PRWeband Press Dispensary.

Submit to site-of-the-day sites.

Consider Eric Ward’s URL wireIt’s a paid-for service but is top quality.

Buy PageRank links or not. You can buy links without a nofollow tag. But, if Google works out
that you’re buying links you’re site may be penalized. Take the risk if you must, but I certainly don’t
recommend it.
Buy promotional links adverts on generic sites like StumbleUpon and Facebook; specialist sites;
and Pay Per Click -PPC. The links won’t directly help your SEO but others might share your content
and those links will.

You have found your site’s most profitable keyword niches to target; built
and optimized site structure and content; and promoted your site for link
building and brand building.

But SEO never stops. Your competitors will not stop optimizing, so nor
can you. And your best targets may have changed. So you must return to
the start of the SEO process.

Check visits, Google ranks for target keywords, response rates and
numbers for different metrics including goals like email recruitment,
sales numbers and revenue.

Check whatever measures you’ve got. If you don’t have Goals or
Ecommerce configured then use bounce rate, average time on site and

Visualize Traffic with DIY Vector

you will learn how to create your own traffic chart using the incredibly cool Canvas framework, which can produce vector graphics and animations with a little bit of HTML and JavaScript. All code referenced in this hack is also available in a single zip file at http://blogoscoped.com/googleappshacks/canvas.zip. Although setting up Canvas may take a little longer than using, say, the Google Charts API  it's also much more flexible, and can even include animated charts.

Draw Something Using Canvas

Canvas is a vector graphics framework which works in most popular browsers today including Firefox, Opera and Safari, and does not require a plug-in like Flash does. Internet Explorer too can render Canvas code, at least with a little tweak you'll see further below. Canvas can be used to have a web page show 2D and 3D drawings, games, charts, applications, animations, and much more.

A longer canvas tutorial is available at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Canvas_tutorial (explaining how to draw rectangles, curves, imported images, and much more), but let's just see what you need to draw a simple line. First, create a file named index.html and open it with a plain text editor. Create a basic page like the following;

Code View:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; CHARSET=UTF-8" />
  <title>Drawing a line</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Soon, a line will appear!</h1>
</body>
</html>

       

So far, that's all plain XHTML. Now somewhere in the <body> of the page, put the canvas tag:

Next, create a default.js file containing the following JavaScript, and put it in the same folder as index.html:

function main() {
    // grab the canvas
    var canvas = document.getElementById('picture');
    var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

    // set the color and line width
    ctx.strokeStyle = 'rgba(40,200,180,1)';
    ctx.lineWidth = 8;

    // draw a line
    ctx.beginPath();
    ctx.moveTo(40, 140);
    ctx.lineTo(240, 40);
    ctx.stroke();
}

That's not a lot of code—you're grabbing the canvas element using the ID you defined

Let's Make A Master Template codeigniter

A simple CSS file, it ’ s time to create a generic Template view that
you can reuse throughout your application. In this master template, which
you can name template.php, are a series of embedded PHP calls that load
certain subviews, such as header, navigation, and footer.

These subviews contain the HTML and PHP that you will create in the
 next few sections. Notice in the following code that you ’ re also trying
to load a subview with $main. This variable will contain the name of a
subview that is dynamically set within the controller and allows you a
 great deal of flexibility as you code your application.

< !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN”
“http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd” >

Social Search and Participation Marketing

 Social search optimization

There are two reactions we get when we tell our clients that it’s time
 to think aboutsocial search. The B2B clients often become noticeably
 uncomfortable and try to change the subject, while the B2C clients are
 likely to want to dive right in. Want to know something funny?In most cases,
 these reactions hold true even when our B2B and B2C clients have no idea
 what we actually mean by social search. What we mean,by the way, are
 those Web 2.0 sites that compile human-fueled factors, such as votes,
references, or recommendations to help you find sites.

Social Bookmarking Sites  These are sites that allow users to give a virtual thumbs
up to a web page, which in turn allows others to learn about it. Digg, Reddit, and
del.icio.us are popular examples. As an online marketer, your goal on sites like these is
to get votes for your content. Is your organization doing something fascinating enough,
or does your website offer something so unique or so useful that a rising tide of voters
will push your site to the top.

Blogs- Your blog mission is either to get mentioned or to join in the commenting in a
way that showcases your smarts and usefulness to your target audience. Niche B2Bs,
yes, there is a blog that is at least loosely related to your industry, and yes, your target
audience frequents them. Type your top 10 keywords into blogsearch.google.comand
see for yourself. B2Cs, even though your keywords are mentioned all over the blog
search engines, that doesn’t mean that every blog audience has conversion value for you.
Forums-The goal for forums is to join in the conversation, become a trusted voice, and
keep your organization in that favorable top-of-mind position with your target audience.
Social Networking Sites Not a medium for the time-strapped, the goal for these sites is
to make friends and communicate with them on a regular basis. Some examples of social
networking sites are MySpace, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

The exciting thing about the Social Web is that the barrier to entry is low. It’s easy to participate
and easy to operate, and it doesn’t cost any money. But it does require a bit of reprogramming for
the traditional marketer. Instead of promoting your company or products, often the venue is better
suited to disseminating the thoughts or activities of a single individual in your organization. As an
example, new product announcements in the Social Web are far outnumbered by musings, advice,
and opinions of CEOs and consultants.Which participants rise to the top?
 Those with higher-thanaverage quotients of expertise and personality.
