Upworthy, a site that focuses on curating social cause related videos and content has been receiving a lot of media attention for changing how bloggers write headlines. And if you look at their website right now, you will find that some of their headlines are simpler and not the hyped up "and you won''t believe what happened next.".

Most of all, I like using it to read web content over coffee away from my desktop. This may not require the development of a native app, it could be something interactive on a web site that can be accessed via your iPad. So far, it is useful for note taking, live tweeting at conferences, and checking email on the go.

I'm not buying an iPad , nor am I buying into the hype about it. Someone like my Mom who uses her not-the-latest-and-greatest computer for email and web surfing and keeping track of her finances and buying stuff on Amazon. Yet the iPad has to be synced to a computer for content. Or more apps that provide that content.

Essentially, nonprofits have been advertising Facebook to untold millions for free helping it become the powerhouse that it is today – the largest, most active social networking website on the Web. There is some ROI, but there is also a lot hype about Facebook. Facebook has been around six years now and is extremely profitable.

Now that the hype and the newness of social media is wearing off, the reality is setting in. Owned spaces – good old websites -delivering client centered digital experiences you control – will become more the norm as the best place for your content to live and to provide services.

The key question we asked is whether digital and social media are delivering on their promise and the hype. Stein has found “the highest levels of engagement tend to revolve around content. Content drives engagement for online audiences in social media.”. Just over 70% of our respondents, a majority, said “yes.”.

Should we believe the hype? After you’ve acquired some experience using ChatGPT, or one of its competitors, you’ll find that AI-generated content is fairly easy to recognize based on a standardized style. Often copywriting, campaign planning, media buying, and web management are all assigned to the same over-extended staffer.

Facebook isn't just all hype. You can create a vanity web address (URL) for your page, send geographically-targeted emails to your Fans (using the internal Facebook email system), and install applications that leverage your other social media outposts. The best way to grow fans is to post compelling content regularly.
