Twitter now has competition from one of the biggest technologically innovative countries in the world—India. Competition takes the form of Sms GupShup.

Although Twitter is quite popular in the U.S., this version seems to have similarities as well as differences. It is free to sign up with sMs GupShup, but its primary difference from Twitter is that it targets mobile users, sending messages directly to your mobile. Many people prefer Sms GupShup because mobile use is the primary method of communication rather than the pc these days.

This site seems to cater to groups as a target audience. Each user can have multiple groups which helps differentiate between family, friends, and colleagues. You can create a group free of charge, or you can join an already existing group. Unlike Twitter, GupShup seems to be the go-between for messages. To send a message to your group, you send a Sms to GupShup and they forward it to members of that group. You can receive messages from members from anywhere in the world.

GupShup has amassed several million more members than Twitter. The user interface is easier to navigate and the look and feel have more of a community appearance. Users have the ability to send picture messages through the gallery. This feature is popular for mobile users since it enables users to communicate more personally by adding a picture. Users can share funny messages or groups with friends by forwarding them to their mobile phones. A person does not have to be a member of the site to receive messages from them. The GupShup member just sends the message or group to their friends’ e-mail or Facebook accounts if they do not wish to receive messages via their mobile.

Sms GupShup empowers its members by cutting out team moderation. Instead of moderators controlling the nature of the messages, community members have the option of flagging a message that they find offensive. A team member then views the flagged message and takes appropriate action.

Users can reply to group posts via their mobile phones and Sms GupShup sends the reply to the owner of that group. Sms GupShup is only available to Indian phone numbers. However, users can still access GupShup from their pc. Although the user is not charged for the messages sent with GupShup, they are charged for the data transfer. 
Overall, this is a very innovative site for those living in India. If you have business contacts in India and could not send messages to your contact, then it would benefit internet users outside India. Perhaps Twitter will take some of its features and implement them but until then, Sms GupShup is vastly superior for those living in India.

Clifinar is an Innovative Sem Seminar

admin    SEM     Clifinar, Innovative, Seminar

Introduction
The Clifinar is a form of web marketing seminar that has become popular at a web marketing company called Compucall. The Clifinar is an example par excellence of a portmanteau – an expression formed by combining the meanings of two different words. In this case it is Clifton – the web marketing professional who presents the seminars – and the word seminar.

The History of the Seminar
The history of the seminar can be dated back to an ancient method of learning called the Socratic method. In ancient Greece the subjects of investigation tended to be of a metaphysical of moral nature such as the existence of god or the difference between good and evil. Socrates is often regarded as the father of moral philosophy and ethics as they are understood in the West. The Socratic method basically involved asking a group of questions that revolved around a common theme, followed by an attempt to answer those questions. Often this involved debating different points of view.

The Clifinar basically follows the same concept, in which Clifton explains a particular web marketing concept, and Dan offers a counter-argument. These sessions draw much inspiration from the central concept of Cartesian philosophy, best described by the classic phrase, “I argue therefore I am.”

Clifinar Topics
The Clifinar covers a range of search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO) concepts. Topics of recent Clifinars have included keyword research, link building, content building, writing press releases, and the web 2.0 as a viral marketing strategy.

About Clifton
Clifton is a web marketing professional with 10 years of experience in the industry. His extensive technical knowledge coupled with hands-on experience mean that he is able to back up theory with real life examples, making Clifinars a rich learning experience.

The Clifinar – Web Marketing Seminars with a Difference
The Clifinar seminars provide a strong theoretical foundation, and then build on that with practical examples and case studies. Small groups mean that sessions are open for questions, and that Clifton can easily interact with all the participants.

Clifinar – the future
Clifinar seminars are currently only avaialbel at Compucall. However, the near future might see the introduction of the online Clifinar.
