Google+ Ads Combining Social and Display

slwebhost.comGoogle+ like other social networks is a method to talk with consumers in a more personal and authentic manner. Like Facebook advertising, Google+ post ads are an attempt to build visible conversations and earned media. However, Google+ post ads have a clear difference as they do not sit within the Google+ social network itself. Instead these ads/conversations are able to connect across the two million Web sites that are part of the Google Display Network.

The new initiative (details below) has some interesting potential, particularly those who have established a Google+ presence. However, even with this new ad format, it’s unclear whether it will be enough to change marketers historical perceptions of Google+ as a relatively sedate and secondary option to Facebook, not to mention Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and many others in the crowded social space.

DETAILS AND IMPLICATIONS

Toyota, Ritz Crackers and Cadbury UK (the first to gain access) are banking on the opportunity to turn their content into conversations and push it out to a wider network than just those who are part of their Google+ profile. Google are promoting this as the ability to amplify your (Google+) content across the Web. Yet, at the same time this will keep Google+ itself advertising free.


Three things to note:
  • Google+ has 300 million users – technically the 2nd largest social network – but arguably much of this has come from Google’s single registration and log-in model. Google is trying to make Google+ more visible and relevant to the wider public as the platform hasn't achieved the user base it has desired.
  • Advertisers gain the potential of more interactions with their Google+ content. This has an extra benefit for advertisers using social extensions in their Google Adwords in search. This extension shows the number of followers underneath the ad thus lending a social reinforcement to the brand (and ad).
  •  The Google+ post ads are supposedly more interactive than traditional display ads, allowing one to “engage” with them by hovering a cursor over them for a couple seconds. This then allows you to leave comments, or do other things, like joining a Hangout.
What Toyota and others are hoping to take advantage of is not just the amplification but the ability to connect consumers to such ideas as the Toyota Collaborator - "customize a Corolla with your friends in a Google+ Hangout." Connecting Google+ followers to this content is one thing; showing it to the wider world opens up a whole new world of prospects.

These Google+ brands will gain more exposure to their content through the Google Display Network; Google gain more awareness of Google+ and its other features and consumers gain the ability to converse with brands across the different websites that they visit.

රෝගීන්ගේ සෞඛ්‍ය වාර්ථා පරිගණක ගත කිරීමේ ජාතික වැඩසටහන The ICT Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) initiated Hospital Health Information Management System

The ICT Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA) initiated Hospital Health Information Management System (HHIMS) was launched at the Dambadeniya Base Hospital on 31st January 2014
Coinciding with the upcoming ‘Deyata Kirula’ national exhibition 2014, the inauguration at the Dambadeniya hospital took place under the patronage of Telecommunication and Information Technology Minister Ranjith Siyambalapitiya.

ICTA says that the objective of the introduction of this system at this hospital is to increase ICT facilities in the area in conjunction with ‘Deyata Kirula’. Currently the benefits from the HHIMS are experienced in several hospitals in the island.

With the installation of this system, information about all steps a patient goes through from registration on arrival to leaving the hospital will be automated. While a number will be assigned to the patient on arrival, all services provided to him will be automated under that number. This will greatly facilitate providing treatment to him as well as enable offering an efficient service to the patient especially on his future visits. Thanks to this system, the time spent by the patient from arrival at the hospital to leaving it after receiving treatment will be reduced to about half. In addition when a patient is transferred from one hospital to another, this will facilitate accessing his previous medical reports through the internet. While information about the stock of drugs in the hospital as well as information like particulars about the hospital’s infrastructure facilities will be automated, this will greatly facilitate the administration of hospital services.

The HHIMS stores clinical details of patients treated and is designed for use by clinical staff – details are recorded on the system as they examine the patient. The system enables hospital staff to refer previous clinical records when the patient comes in for treatment. It also enables them to print visit slips or discharge letters for patients,  quarterly health statistics and prepare notifications of infectious diseases for the local Medical Officers of Health. The software will thus significantly reduce the need for maintaining paper based records and enable an improved and efficient service to the patient.

Sri Lanka Wins Big at “Nokia Create” Global App Contest

Cover Cam app created by Sri Lanka student Tharaka
Cover cam lets you set your Facebook profile picture and cover image with one click.

As part of this program Nokia held the “Nokia Create” contest which is a global competition for 
developers to develop apps for Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone 8. Developers from 76 countries 
around the world took part in the contest and Nokia announced the winners last week. It was a delight
 for us to hear that 2 Sri Lankans emerged as winners in two categories. “Cover Cam” app 
developed by Tharaka Wijebandara from Sri Lanka, won the “Master Mission” in Image and Photo 
category. Tharaka is a final year undergraduate, studying Information Technology at University 
of Moratuwa. He is also a Microsoft Student Partner and an active developer in the local scene. 
Heshan Pathirana a student of APIIT won the “Music Master Mission”for his appExtreme Music.
Cover Cam: The app
Cover Cam is an app that allows you to create your Facebook cover picture along with the matching
 profile picture with a single click. The idea is simple. But if you had tried for yourself, such an option 
is practically hard to execute from a single picture. But you should feel lucky if you’re a Windows 
Phone user. Tharaka’s app does that complex work for your, effortlessly. According to Tharaka, 
the app “makes your Facebook timeline header more beautiful, meaningful, and attractive or 
something totally crazy.” The app crops your profile picture and cover image from the original 
image and uploads it to your facebook account. While allowing you to take creative cover images, 
the app also allows you to choose existing photos from your gallery and turn it into creative Facebook
 timeline headers. According to Tharaka, his app is available as a trial version and a paid version. 
So far, it has been downloaded more than 80,000 times. It is also one of the top paid photo apps in 
many countries. As part of winning the competition, Nokia has also featured the app in many leading 
WP markets around the world.
So what inspired Tharaka to come up with such a cool idea for an app?
It was his friends. Few of them had manually uploaded their facebook profile picture and cover 
image in a way that made it look like a single image. Tharaka says that he immediately tried to 
create his own, with the help of Photoshop, but soon realized that not every image will fit into the
 idea. “Suddenly I got an idea. What if we can see the world through Facebook timeline header 
when we capture a photo? Then it will be easy to capture something beautiful for both profile 
picture and cover photo while they look as one image in the Facebook timeline header. So I 
decided to develop a Windows Phone app with this idea.” says Tharaka. And the uniqueness 
of the app is what made it a winner at the Nokia Create contest.
Tharaka Wijebandara, student of FIT, UoM
Tharaka Wijebandara, student of FIT, UoM
Tharaka’s developer career started when 
he was at school. He started to develop 
simple programs using VB 6, and they 
eventually became a hit among his friends, 
who encouraged him a lot. And thus, 
he ended up choosing Information 
Technology for his higher studies too. 
Tharaka enjoys developing mobile apps. 
“Mobile apps have very large audience 
compared to other software products“ 
says Tharaka; “We can have continuous 
feedback and keep on improving the apps”.
Winning a global competition brings 
more recognition for the developer. Our 
local talent gets noticed globally. And there’s 
a lot more. The winner gets a Nokia 
Lumia device of his choice along with a 
Nokia Gear. Winner also gets 5000 
Experience Points from Nokia DVLUP 
reward program. Their app is promoted 
app on Windows Phone Store and 
AppSocial for one week and they also get PubCenter credits to run a campaign, to promote their app.

Nokia CreateAbove all of these, *wait for it* the winners are 
offered an all expenses paid trip to Mobile World 
Congress 2014, where the winning apps will 
be showcased. Yes, you heard it right. Tharaka 
has won a trip to attend the MWC, which is 
happening in Barcelona in February. Mark 
Zuckerberg will be delivering the keynote 
speech this year. According to Tharaka, 
attending the MWC is the most exciting part of winning this contest. “It’s a great opportunity to learn 
new technologies, know about latest trends, make new friends and share experience with Windows 
Developers from around the world”, he says.
The Nokia Create contest was based on 8 Categories and had 15 “Missions” – that included 6 
Mini missions, 8 Master missions and a Do Good mission. Each mission had a specific focus. 
Mini Missions required developers to add Nokia’s APIs and new features to their existing Windows 
Phone apps. To enter one of the 8 Master missions, participants had to develop a brand new app 
or game, or port one from another platform to Windows Phone 8. The Do Good Mission was 
quite different. According to Nokia, the aim of the Do Good mission was to “help enhance the lives 
and mobile experiences of visually impaired people.” The competition also had one Grand Prize.
Tharaka has huge hopes on Windows Phone OS. “Microsoft and Nokia  are very supportive 
and always encourage the developers” – Tharaka says enthusiastically. The Digit team feels 
proud for what Tharaka has achieved and wish him the best with his future endeavours!
