It's all about the social media feed PDF Print E-mail
Technology - Social Media
Written by Renato Cruz Sogueco

Creating multimedia content such as video and photos, specifically to post on your Website or blog is a complete waste of time. Social media such as Flickr, YouTube, et al., provide the answer and provide the following benefits. First, since you're hosting all this media on someone else's server, think how much you save in bandwidth. Recall, hosting on these services is free to very low cost -- $24.95 to host unlimited photos on Flickr for example or about $70 to host videos on Vimeo. Next, think of all the great references you will be creating by correctly tagging the media and embedding links back to your web site or blog. Third, as you update those social media with new content, the content on your website instantly changes as well without any extra effort! Lastly, it's very easy to embed the media into your website or blog by using either a widget or grabbing html code which most all social media can generate for you.

I'm practicing what I preach. I recently started a Flickr account and in the process of uploading all the photos that I previously uploaded into this blog onto the service. Below is the result of using Universal Playground's helpful Joomla Flickr plugin (http://joomla.universalplayground.net/index.php/flickr-slideshow-plugin) -- my current Flickr feed:

Videos - still a work in progress. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the scant few videos I do have but what I'm aiming for is similar strategy I apply to photos -- somehow post a library that reveals only the newest stuff. Right now, I can certainly post select videos but that still requires work on the backend. So hopefully, I will find a nice bit of code someone has already written or a widget exists that will accomplish the task.

UPDATE: Figured out the video thing. Since I upload many of my videos to my company's channel, SAFVision, I needed a way to feature just my uploads. Easy solution was to create a playlist for just my stuff then embed the playlist stream. Voila. Check out the result at the top of this blog! And check out the new Videos menu item to see how I embedded individual videos using the iframe YouTube provides.

Social Media is all about getting your brand's message out to the public. It's really just another form of PR. I think it has really changed the world.

Regular carpet cleaning prevents dirt and dust from accumulating on a carpet. It also significantly reduces the amount of allergens in a home, and prolongs the life of the carpeting. It is important to know how properly to maintain a carpet in order to preserve it looking great.
