Tips on How to Convert Your Articles Into Videos

When I wrote the article “10 Proven Benefits of Converting Your Articles into Videos” the first comment I received from one of my followers was “How do you turn your articles into videos?” This prompted me to come up with this simple explanation on how to go about it. There are several options of converting your articles into videos. For instance you can use PowerPoint to create animated slides and convert them into a video format. You can use a flash program to create your videos. But these options really require technical know-how and most people may find it a little bit difficult. The easiest way to convert your articles into videos is by using an article-to-video-converter software that turns them into videos in the shortest time possible. It is user friendly and it doesn’t require much technical know-how. But you need to select a good program that allows you to edit your article in any way you want.

Smartphone sales already outpace PC’s and laptops and there is no sign of any slowing in the future. There is good reason for this. A smartphone ain’t just a phone anymore. It is, in every respect, a pocket-sized laptop or PC that you can make or take calls with.

Population growth dominates Facebook’s newsfeed

Facebook has revealed its list of top ten most-mentioned news stories of 2011 in the UK, with a BBC story concerning global population growth.

It’s an inside job for Google maps

Google has announced the final frontier for Google maps – mapping the indoors. Not satisfied with surveying and mapping almost every inch of outdoor space on earth, the search seraph has turned its attentions to the indoor nooks and crannies of airport, shopping malls and other indoor public spaces. Google Maps 6.0 for Android enables users to find their way around with their handsets. Users can explore the entire building floor plan or locate points of interest such as specific shops, public toilets and ATMs. “When you’re inside an airport, shopping mall or retail store, a common way to figure out where you are is to look for a freestanding map directory or ask an employee for help,” vice president of engineering for Google Earth and Maps Brian McClendon explained . “Starting today, with the release of Google Maps 6.0 for Android, that directory is brought to the palm of your hands, helping you determine where you are, what floor you’re on, and where to go indoors.” Using the familiar Google Maps ‘blue dot’ icon, the new app can find a user’s location within several metres and also indicate which floor of a building they are on – a useful tool for those of us who are prone getting lost

Peer-to-peer search engine to take on Google

Free software activists are set to take on the search heavyweights with their own peer-to-peer search engine . YaCy, – a free search engine – are hoping to usurp the likes of Bing, Google and Yahoo with a ‘new approach’ to search. Instead of using a central server like conventional search engines , YaCy gets results from a network of independent ‘peers’ – users who have downloaded YaCy software. The decentralisation idea behind the new search engine is that no single entity decides on the search results or the order in which results appear, but rather, results are generated from a network of private companies and contributing peer operators. “Most of what we do on the Internet involves search.

Google guns for Groupon with G+ data

Google seems to be upping its efforts to steal Groupon’s coupon-clipping crown, as the firm announced it will now be using Google+ data and a new personalisation mechanism to better target deals. According to The Financial Times , Google let slip that it’ll soon be using G+ social signals as well as a new personalisation quiz in a bid to top the daily deals market by better targeting individual consumers and driving uptake. Google will now ask Google Offers subscribers to indicate what kind of deals they would like to receive information about. Group Project Manager at Google Offers Nitin Mangtani wrote on the Google Blog : “There’s a universe of amazing daily deals out there, but it’s hard to find them all in one place – and it’s even harder to discover the ones that really matter to you.” To solve this problem, the firm will use personal and social sharing data extracted from Google+ user profiles to determine what deals might be of interest to individual consumers, and ask users to weigh in on the kinds of deals they’d like to receive.

Mantingi wrote: “We’re also introducing a personalisation quiz to help you find just the deal you want, all in one place.” The move has been labelled game-changing by Opus analyst Greg Sterling. Sterling explained that Google’s plans to utilise social data and user engagement platforms should help the company displace Groupon as a daily deals market leader, as the coupon clippers currently only track user purchases in an attempt to gauge individual interests. BIA Kelsey analyst Jed Williams added that increased personalisation could help alleviate the ‘deal fatigue’ felt my consumers who feel their inboxes are clogged with coupon-clipping, money-saving spam
