10 things you should know about social and tech this week

Published by:

Time for your FAVE recap and mine… It’s what’s hot in tech and social.

 

 

Listen, I know you’re busy. When I first started this blog I considered making the tagline, “Putting in the man hours so you don’t have to.” I enjoy doing this research and I want to make it as easy as possible for you to always be in-the-know on all things social. If you read nothing else this week, this run down will keep your social and tech IQ above the rest. Rest easy, busy one, I’ve got your back.

Go ahead and copy and paste your favorite links and send them to your boss, co-workers, peers. They’ll remember (in case they forgot) what a rockstar you are. (Or you can always forward a copy of this post.)

  1. Pinterest is updating it’s look. No, really. They are.
  2. RIM wil forever be known at Blackberry. That’s right. They officially changed their name.
  3. Millennials are spending more and more time online; 25 hours per week.
  4. In the first 13 weeks of 2013, Apple sold 47.8 million iPhones and 22.9 million iPads. Cha-ching.
  5. How many photos are shared on Instagram? 40 million photos a day. Say cheese. :)
  6. Sick of Gangman Style yet? Regardless, Psy is making bank from YouTube. He’s earned $8 million from the video sharing site alone.
  7. Social TV is here. 4 out of 10 Americans now say they have their TV connected to the internet.
  8. If you want to download your entire Twitter archive, then you can.
  9. Twitter + Vine + Crashlytics = News
  10. The unauthorized unlocking your iPhone in the U.S. is absolutely illegal. Ouch!

Published by:

It’s not everyday you get to sit down and chat with the president of one of the largest cable companies in the world. Luckily, this year’s CES afforded me that very opportunity with Pat Esser, President of Cox Communications. We talked about:

  • The latest innovations on television on both the primary and secondary screens;
  • Their partnership with Cisco and the new technology they’re releasing shortly; and
  • A new second screen experience with the launch of an iOS app unlike anything else in the market.
Enjoy this sneak peek and personal interview with Pat.

One of my favorite parts about #2013CES? Learning about #personalTV and chatting it up with #Panasonic

Published by:

As part of my official Cox Communications’ CES Social Correspondent duties I had the opportunity to jump on stage at Panasonic’s Live@CES stage. Hosted by the uber smart and talented Cali Lewis (@calilewis) and joined by panel guest Amber Osborne (@missdestructo), we talked CES, women in tech and our favorite innovations. My favorite part about CES was learning more about the future of television from Cox and Cisco and just how personal it’s becoming. Here’s a clip from the interview where I share my thoughts on the personalization, synchronization and socialization of TV:

Later this week I’ll share more insights about the personal TV experience, but for now, here what people were most looking forward to at CES:
