Simon Says: QR codes are rubbish, use Google Goggles

Google

You love Google.

It's one of those universal tools everyone has a soft spot for. I secretly imagine people who work at Yahoo use it when their boss isn't watching. Who couldn't adore a company who has an unofficial slogan "Don't be evil."

In April 2010 the search giant purchased "PlinkArt." PlinkArt was originally designed to identify works of art once you took a photo of it. The app was one of three winners of the Education/Reference category of the Google ADC2 (Android Developer Challenge 2). Google then purchased them and added the functionality to what we now know as "Google Goggles" - a visual search engine.

New Facebook Promotions Guidelines - Decoded

Facebook Like Button by FindYourSearch

On May 11th 2011 - Facebook, yet again, updated their 'Promotions Guidelines'. So what does this mean for us? Well, essentially it is now harder than ever to run a successful promotional campaign on Facebook.

The problem is, most of us don't have the time or inclination to sit and read the Facebook 'Promotions Guidelines', let alone decode all the legal 'jargon'. But don't worry, I've [selflessly] taken the time to review each point and provide a simple explanation of what it means.

Italic text is lifted directed from the Facebook Promotions Guidelines (last revised: May 11, 2011) and the text in italics is my 'decoding'... Enjoy!
