1st lecture-internet marketing 14/09/10

In our first lecture of internet marketing we were taught about different websites and were asked to visit them. They are as follows
             www.foursquare.com
             www.twitter.com
             www.wolframalpha.com
             www.google.com/trends
These all websites are a great source of information and quite helpful in building our concept of internet marketing. Little introduction of these websites is given below:
www.foursquare.com:
Foursquare is a location based social network that incorporates gaming elements. User can share his/her location with friends by “checking in” via a smart-phone app or by text message. By checking in a certain number of times, or in different locations, you can collect virtual badges. Points are awarded for checking in at various venues. Foursquare helps meet up with friends and lets earn points and unlock badges for discovering new places, doing new things and meeting new people
www.twitter.com:
Twitter is a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent messages. People write short updates, often called "Tweets" of 140 characters or fewer. These messages are posted to user’s profile or blog, sent to r followers, and are searchable on Twitter search.
www.wolframalpha.com
Its a new search engine which gives more complex results better than google. It is an online service that answers factual queries directly by computing the answer from structured data, rather than providing a list of documents or web pages that might contain the answer as a search engine would.
www.google.com/trends
Google Trends is a public web facility of Google Inc., about Google Search, that shows how often a particular search-term is entered relative to the total search-volume across various regions of the world, and in various languages.
