Phone Cameras For the Win!

When the first phone camera was sold in the year 2000, few could have predicted the widespread impact of such an invention. According to Bloomberg Businessweek, traditional camera sales throughout the world fell 29% January through May of 2013. This same year Flickr reported the top three highest percentages of images posted were produced by various iPhone models.
Though lenses can't be changed out to cover as broad an array of situations as SLRs, there are a number of reasons camera phones have surpassed digital SLR rigs in terms of sales.
Small and Powerful
The most inexpensive phones normally come equipped with cameras featuring 5 megapixels or higher. Now 8, 13, and on up to 42 megapixels can be found on the market. Many include first-rate editing programmes and offer the ability to share images with most social networking sites immediately. Compare the bulk and weight of an old Nikon (5-6 megapixels) to a sleek 13MP mobile carried in one's pocket and it's easy to see why the big camera manufacturers are hurting.
Always on Hand
When attending an event, photo hobbyists must make the decision whether they'll be working or playing. Many love nothing more than to be on hand to capture the moment, but in the past that meant schlepping gear and worrying about equipment getting damaged or stolen. Now with the ability to get images worthy of print from a small phone? Everyone's a photographer. Plus if trying to be more discreet during special occasions a mobile's the way to go.
Easy Sharing
Consider first the film age, which involved sending images off to be processed or developed yourself if you had the proper darkroom setup. Then one hour processing became the rage. Digital cameras came along and blew everyone's minds with the new-found ability to shoot as much as one wanted and then simply transfer to a computer. But still, that required connecting the camera to a computer or reading the memory card. Still an amazing breakthrough but now mobile sharing on smartphones is as easy as the click of a few buttons.
Changing Society
Such ease of use and the rise in popularity of social media platforms may be a chicken or the egg scenario but the very multifunctionality of a phone camera makes it quite obvious why traditional camera sales are suffering. Not only has the professional camera industry been greatly affected, but the ways in which societies act and interact have been greatly impacted as well.
Concerts reveal a sea of lighted phones held high, weddings are documented and posted long before the bride and groom go on honeymoon, and with programmes like Instagram everyone's an artist. Every day little things now seem worthy of documenting and sharing. Plus go to any event of note and see how most people will spend loads of money to physically attend but then watch the entire proceedings on the screen of their phones.
The Cons
The less-than-savory societal changes of being in attendance yet experiencing through a camera lens has also caused changes in the way people do business. Originally, cinemas only asked that phones be silenced, whereas now the glow of the screen times however many people is also cause for complaint. Too, when mobile photographers get really engrossed in grabbing the perfect image it's not uncommon to see them losing sight of personal boundaries and common courtesy. The bloke behind you didn't shell out £100 to watch a concert through your camera. And it's become such a rampant problem that some promoters and artists are starting to ban camera phones altogether.
Add in the constant barrage of images posted publicly (with or without one's consent) and it seems it's been forgotten that with the privilege of such brilliant technology comes responsibility. Phone cameras are wonderfully convenient things. However no 'gadget' should cause a rift between friends. Though camera phones are used the world over, when in doubt—ask.
Ask if it's alright to take photos and ask if you're allowed to post them. It also wouldn't hurt to occasionally put the phone down and just be in the moment. It's your life, not television so share it and enjoy it.

Google Web Designer Beta, Create HTML5 Content Of Your Own

Google has released its free Google Web designer in a first beta version. Google created this current version mainly banner ads, but also intended for good old sites. Flash advertising is computationally intensive and error prone. Many users switched over such content. In the advertising industry, there is still little effort to use the HTML5 alternative.

Why is that? For one of good tools for creating HTML5 advertising is lacking. With programs like Adobe Edge can indeed be standard advertising create a high quality, but the results are often so extensive that they are not accepted by marketers. In addition, between an advertiser and its agency and the website to play the advertising, are often intermediaries who provide technical solutions that cannot handle HTML code. Some agency that has admitted early to the new technology had to find that they could bring to advertise only on a few websites.

Google wants to fix with his web designer in combination with its DoubleClick ad serving platforms and Admob at least the technical hurdles. So should be capable of create without programming using the Google Web Designer in HTML5 banners that can be played directly through the widespread systems of DoubleClick and Admob then, even on mobile devices.

Currently, it is not yet possible to open HTML files created with other editors to the Web designer. Basically, the Google Web Designer is a WYSIWYG editor that generates HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript code. Google wants to provide an alternative to Adobe Flash, which now indeed also has an HTML5 export, for the creation of online advertising is currently not really usable.

Adobe has also recognized that the trend away from Flash developed towards HTML5. Therefore, Adobe has developed a number of new tools, grouped under the heading of Adobe Edge. The web designer is most similar to the Adobe Edge Animate, which also generates HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript code. Edge Animate has a slightly different functionality. In contrast, contains the web designer features such as 3D - ready tools and components that are not found in Adobe Edge that. For programmers Edge Animate offers a JavaScript code editor with function blocks and a good JavaScript API documentation. On the other hand, the user can switch the web designs directly into the HTML code view, the code editor syntax highlighting dominated. Also knows the code editor auto-completion, for example by automatically adds it after creating the start tag, the end tag.

For creation of events and web designer offers a wizard that can be selected in the event sequences. It automatically creates JavaScript code that can be edited in the Code Editor. The most important part of the program for the animation of objects is the timeline. This is the web designer in expanded animation mode. This can be key frames for objects at a specific time set at the end, so that the animation is created. This is directly playable.

Keyframes in the timeline using drag -and- drop operation, the user can also adjust the properties individually. The delay of movements between keyframes can be influenced by characteristics curve. With Adobe Edge Animate the Timeline is similar. Here, the more features. Keyframes must not be set manually, ensures an automatic keyframe mode. This is the creation of the animation easier by hand. Overall, the procedure for creating animations in Adobe Flash Professional two editors is very similar.

 The recommended banner sizes in the advertising industry vary depending on the banner size. The Google Web Designer displays the size of output when publishing. Here you can also set options such as compression. The output produces high quality HTML code. In contrast, Edge Animate was initially in the criticism because critics Adobe to ignore accusing the HTML standard. Web Designer with Google can bring about the transition to HTML 5 Google has a stake in the global online advertising by about a third.

 Using the web designer provides a free Google tool available that house advertising platforms can operate easily with the agencies. Future so that Google could use its market power to bring about a switch from Adobe Flash format in the HTML5 format. This is early beta stage but still makes in the range of noticeable. If Google is driving forward the development of the web editors area, the web designer would also be an interesting alternative there.

So that Google could use the entire value chain, starting with the creation of banner ads and websites with the web designer on the distribution and marketing services with the help of their own way to display with Chrome. The Google Web Designer can be downloaded for Windows and Mac OS from the Web Designer site. A Linux version is currently not provided Google. Group discussions can be found in the Web Designer Forum, and on the help page provides an introduction and some Google videos. Besides, some example files can be found in the Help section.

Keeping up with web traffic

If you own a website – as many businesses do – you're likely already aware of the benefits that being online can provide. You may also have realised just how important web traffic is, as this dictates the number of people on your website.

The more people that visit, the more potential customers you can make. As such, it always helps to keep up with web traffic. This includes knowing the numbers, benefiting from both real-time and real usage data, and ensuring that your web load speeds don't fail as a result of too much traffic.

Numbers 

The first and most obvious call of port should be to simply be aware of the numbers. When it comes to a website, the volume of hits can be seen as the earliest sign of success or not. A rise would indicate growing interest, for instance.

After a number of months you can then apply moving averages and trends to determine potential future growth. If you're expecting an increase in a certain amount, it's much easier to set such targets and plan to adapt ahead of time.

Real-Time Data 

Similarly, it's important to get real-time data. Knowing past figures, such as at monthly reports, can be useful but data that comes in as it happens allows for more accurate and dynamic responses.

For example, when is your website's traffic at its highest? If there is a noticeable trend, this might suggest a potential course of action. Again, such real-time information allows for a better response as you can recognise increasing volumes of traffic much sooner – this would help anticipate the growing numbers rather than simply waiting for it to happen which can overload your servers.

Real Usage 

Likewise, you should also aim for real usage data. There is a big difference between the number of hits a website gets and the number of individual users.

You should also be interested in this data because it shows returning interest. 10,000 hits is no good if no one comes back – in many ways, it’s actually better to have a lower hit count with a higher percentage of returning customers as this would show a dedicated and interested audience. In other words, if they come back, it's a good sign for the business, which is why you need the right data and monitoring to support and show this.

Services such as web load testing can provide an effective way to keep up with website traffic.
