An overview of Moxtra

There are many apps out there that aim to improve group projects and collaboration, it is a much needed service in academia and business. But still no single app had nailed this whole process, this is the reason why daily millions of texts and emails are sent to swap documents, or to set up conference calls.

Moxtra is a new app that tackles this problem through a service it calls power messaging. Power messaging is combination of sharing documents within a group, audio and text chats that all contribute to enhance collaboration in projects. For example a study group can use Moxtra to prepare a report or take lessons from a tutor, a sales team can use it to collaborate on presentations, and a group of friends can use it to plan an event or a trip. Any user can add audio and text comments, they can make mini presentations to show why and how they have annotated documents.

Moxtra is an app from a company of the same name and it is available free on both Android and iOS, it can also be accessed from the browser. One great thing about the app is that people can participate in a chat from any mix of devices. For added security the service is strongly encrypted.

This product is old but previously it revolved around “binders” which were collections of documents. But now this app has been innovated to include chat features that greatly help in group collaboration.

Right now, Moxtra has not imposed any limits to the amount of stuff you store in “binders”, or how long you conduct meet sessions, or how many participants you include. But eventually Moxtra plans to impose limits on will start charging premiums from user that exceed the limits. It also plans to add paid new features.

The advent of Long Scrolling pages

Over the past there has been a visible change in trend in website design towards long scrolling pages. These pages often have a great visual design that engages visitors and leads to better conversion rates.

The way long scrolling pages work is that they tell narrative about a company or a product using techniques that are visually stimulating. And now they have become even more successful in engaging visitors with richer graphics, neat design, anchored navigation, moving widgets and parallax effects. This has enabled marketers to narrative stories in a whole new way and persuades visitors to scroll further.

This trend of long scrolling pages was not always considered good, in the early 2000s most websites were focusing on making pages that did not require visitors to scroll. They focused on finding where the “fold” is in a webpage so that they can stuff all the data in a way that did not require scrolling, and all the content that did not fit above the fold had to be put on a different page. At that time marketers focused on getting visitors to click on links on a website and go deeper.

But why did this trend change? In the last two years Web analytics has produced numerous reports emphasizing on the engagement level of visitors, the findings were that in every case higher visitor engagement level led to higher conversion rates. And the measure of engagement is that the website entices the visitor to scroll down a page a read the story.

To check how successful a long scrolling page is website owners track mouse movement and scrolling, this gives them an idea about the level of user engagement on individual pages. They implement mouse/activity tracking and scroll tracking on long scrolling pages to check whether visitors are scrolling down the page or not.

Transition from BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) to BYOS (Bring Your Own Software)

After BYOD or “bring your own device” – the concept that people bring their own devices like laptops, IPad and smartphones to work, IT experts have now thought up of a new phrase “bring your own software” or BYOS.

In the last few years employers have accepted the idea to let employees use their own devices at work, to give them the freedom to choose their favorite devices. Although at first employers were concerned about security risks but BYOD let to increased employee satisfaction. After BYOD employers are now considering if they should let their employees use the same software they use at their homes.

“Bring your own software” is quickly gaining support from employers and it has already started in workplaces. Many office employees have started forgoing MS Word and are switching to Google Docs. And instead of using FTP company servers they are using Dropbox.

A few years back employees used to ask the IT department of the company whenever they wanted a software. But this trend has changed now as people can get so many applications online for free, so instead of going to the IT department employees just download what they like. Furthermore, developers are constantly releasing communication and productivity tools that are helpful to people in both their professional as well as personal lives and this trend will give a boost to the BYOS culture.

Like “Bring your own device”, “Bring your own software” can save employers a lot of time and money. Previously employers had to spend huge amounts of money to buy software programs and then more money to train employees to use the software. But with the BYOS employers don’t have to spend money to buy software programs as employees bring their own software and they have been using them in their personal lives so don’t require any training.

Open source VS paid softwares. Which one is thriving?

Softwares are divided into two broad categories; one is the open source software while the other one is the paid source software. In this article, we will do an analysis of each of them. Here you go:

-          Open source software

In this software, the developer gives the license to copy the content of software and use it without any fee. It is therefore legal to use this type of software. Not only is this, but in this software, others can also modify the software but this modification should be made in the source code. Besides this, in the open source software, users work collaboratively and they share the ideas. This environment actually helps in fixing the bugs. Such softwares are also called as “free licensing software”.

-          Paid source software

In contrary to the open source software, there is paid source software. As the name defines, this software demands license to use. Thus, one has to pay the fee foe using this software. These paid softwares provide the additional benefit and are much more secure than the ones, which are free to use. Renowned companies are earning huge profits through these softwares.

As a conclusion, both of these softwares have their own importance and demand in the corporate sector. That software that are specifically designed for core business activities and have multiple benefits are in demand even if they require hefty budgets for buying the license.

After observing the success of hash tags on Twitter, the trend shifted towards other social media networks. This trend is now used on Google+, Pinterest, Facebook, and many other networks.

From the start of June, hash tags are trending on Facebook. After a sign of #, a word is written so that the phrase can become clickable. After clicking the word, we get all other posts that have the same hash tag. This technique is helpful in brand positioning and generating online leads. Besides other social media networks, a huge percentage of the target market is on Facebook and due to this reason, hash tags seem helpful in grabbing the customers attention and developing brand identity. Besides this, hash tags are also used for promoting the current campaigns and events of the company.

It is better to select the hash tag related to your business and see the search result before adding it in your Facebook post. These hash tags are just a single word. These words can also be keywords but long tail keywords cannot be used because they have multiple phrases. In addition to this, you should check the settings of Facebook before using hash tags. The main purpose of these tags is to increase exposure and create a word of mouth. Due to this reason, the settings should be made public before the post of hash tag. Creative and unique hash tags in Facebook posts are helping marketers in running their campaigns and gaining customers attention.
