Facebook vs Apple vs. Android: App Showdown

Social media is an upcoming phenomenon which encompasses all daily needs. Be it shopping, locating restaurants nearby, making documents, viewing brand products and reading the news; an online shortcut is available in the form of an app. An app, short for application, was first introduced commercially by Apple, which allowed users to access online stores and games without opening the actual site. In late 2000’s, The advent of smartphones saw a sharp incline in the development and use of apps.

 

Keeping in mind the number of global members on Facebook, the developers are constantly working to affiliate new apps with the social media giant. Facebook is now leading the app race with 500,000 apps to its credit, including SoundCloud, Spotify, Goodreads and The Guardian to name a few. Android platform, despite its easy interface and popularity since 2009, has the least number of apps to its credit. This major difference can be accounted for by the fact that Facebook offers apps Absolutely Free! Also, considering the advantage Facebook has of being THE social media giant, Facebook has more than a million app developers to its name, while Android has the least developers. Hence any cost of development is shared within, leading to negligible costs by Facebook.

In the smartphone dominated age of today, brands should have a completely developed app on social media, where potential clients can get access to their products. JamiQ social media solutions incorporate all aspects of online development and marketing. Contact JamiQ to find out more about business solutions for your brand.

The Opportunities and Pitfalls of Android Apps In China

With over 35 million active iOS and Android devices in China, there is no denying that the mobile app in the mainland is huge, the kind of scale that makes small and big investors alike eager to make their mark. However, such a market comes with its own set of potential as well as challenges.

Consider the top downloaded social applications by users in China:

If your business is suitable for the apps market, entering China seems like a no brainer. However, there are challenges.

As Google has yet to formally support the Android Market in the country due to censorship concerns and ongoing discussion with the China government, the app market is fragmented with dozens of alternative stores operated by small studios. These independent outfits engage in fierce battle for app market dominance. Just to name a few, there is AppChina, Tencent’s app store, Gfan, HiAPK, etc. and many, many more.


(Source: Tech in Asia)

With such a free app market, it can be as a boom to businesses who can swoop in with useful apps and market it on multiple stores. However, this scenario is also riddled with ongoing problems such as piracy, malware risks, and lack of an app payment gateway.

Yet another consideration for businesses considering entering the China app market would be a unique industry dynamic quite unseen in other countries. Unlike “the long tail” theory, in China, a very small percentage of the applications (estimated at around 4%) accounts for more than 80% of active installations. Highly popular apps are getting the lion’s share of app users attention, while many others remain totally unheard of.

It does seem that until Google launches an Android Marketplace for China, the marketplace may not be as comfortable as it can be for businesses to get into. The future, of course, remains uncharted and as volatile as ever.

PRDA Adds Pinterest and Viddy to List of Recommended SNS for Clients

Social media provider PRDA has begun to recommend two new social networking services, Pinterest and Viddy, to their clients. These new SNS have begun to revolutionize the already constantly changing social media platform, and mold together perfectly with PRDA client needs.


Pinterest takes the concept bookmarking websites and revitalizes it with the use of images and videos, now called “pinning.” These pins are much easier to use, lessen the clutter on users’ browsers, and allow for the sharing of websites through the use of easy to view pictures. These pins can be categorized by subject matter and can be shared with those who follow you, or with complete strangers browsing the site for the first time. This simplicity and user-friendly functionality makes Pinterest a perfect match for clients who wish to not only garner more views on their websites, but also want to become a better known name in their areas of expertise. Pinterest is currently available as an app in iTunes, as a mobile browsing site, and as a web-browsing application that can easily be added to a user’s toolbar. An Android app is in development.


Viddy has most recently become known as “the Instagram of video.” This easy to use app allows users to capture a video, instantly edit it with music and video, then share them on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter. While Instagram has become increasingly popular and has aided in providing the importance of images in social media, Viddy goes a step further with the addition of motion and sound. This service is great for clients who wish to capture real life moments and share them with consumers and is great for adding even more personality to a virtual presence. Viddy is currently available as an app in iTunes and to view on their website. An Android version is set to release later this year.
