Why Facebook should fear Google+

You can’t yet just go sign up; you have to be invited by someone who’s already a member. Even so, Google+ already has millions of members. That’s not quite 750 million (Facebook’s current tally), but watch out for the network effect.

At first, Google+ looks like a shameless Facebook duplicate. There’s a place for you to make Posts (your thoughts and news, like Facebook’s Wall); there’s a Stream (an endless scrolling page of your friends’ posts, like Facebook’s News Feed); and even a little +1 button (a clone of Facebook’s Like button), which may be where Google+ gets its peculiar name. But there’s one towering, brilliant difference: Circles.

On Google+, you put the people of your life’s different social circles into — well, into Circles. That is, groups. Categories. Google starts you off with empty circles called Friends, Acquaintances, Family and Following (people you don’t know, but want to follow, as you would on Twitter). It’s a piece of cake to add new ones. They can be tiny circles (“Granny and Gramps”) or big ones (“Family Tree “), organisation-based (“Fantasy League Buddies”) or arbitrary (“Annoying People”).

Creating them is a blast: an array of tiles represents your online acquaintances, which it assembles from Gmail and other accounts. You drag each into an on-screen circle, where they tumble into place. You can drag a person into more than one circle. The lucky encircled friend will know that you’ve added him or her to a circle, but not which one, thank heaven. From now on, every time you share something – a news item, a thought, a photo, a chat invitation -you can specify exactly which Circles receive it.

TheClickToCall Releases Video Tutorial Library

Posted on: Friday, 15 July 2011, 00:00 CDT

With the release of TheClickToCall video tutorial library, users can now have an on demand guide to setup each of the possible features step by step. TheClickToCall’s Youtube channel and the site’s Video library provide users with the help needed at their moment of choice.

Miami, Fl (PRWEB) July 14, 2011

With the establishment of TheClickToCall platform, the customer support team recorded and released video tutorials in order to help users setup their preferred service to include their TheClickToCall button. The need to provide video tutorials arises from the multiple support tickets inquiring about how to setup certain web services to work with TheClickToCall.

“Customers can’t usually dispose of 10 minutes to make a support call in order to find out how to setup a certain service like Gmail or Hotmail. In response to that a unique tutorial was created for each web service and internal feature. The first tutorials contain the internal features “Business Hours”, “Authorized Countries” and “Follow Me”. Video tutorials are available within the main website and also on TheClickToCall Youtube channel.” Said Max Doldan, Manager with TheClickToCall.com.

The second batch of tutorials includes all the most popular free email clients such as Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo as well as the popular email service Microsoft Office Outlook. These tutorials were frequently requested by TheClickToCall users and are services used by millions worldwide. After these videos were completed, customer support received a new request, the question was “Can email newsletters be setup with TheClickToCall?”

After 2 weeks of research and the study of different bulk email platforms the team developed a tutorial for one of the most popular bulk email services, MailChimp. This enables users to send massive email campaigns with TheClickToCall button embedded on the email for immediate receiver response. Shortly after that there was another popular request for a tutorial on how to setup Blogger with TheClickToCall.

There were more tutorials created for the newly released Facebook application which had to be remade because of sensitive changes in the Facebook platform. Facebook tutorials are now divided into the personal profile setup and the fan page setup.

TheClickToCall.com attends to any special request for tutorials from the users and new ideas are welcome. Users can send an email to contact(at)theclicktocall(dot)com with the request and customer support will reply back. Video tutorials are available in English and Spanish translations can be requested.

TheClickToCall was created to enhance the reach of a Website, to exploit its full potential. With the enhanced communication the Service, Retail websites, E-shops, Technical support and much more can now extend beyond the Internet and interact directly with the visitor the moment they are browsing the website. This coupled with a set of additional features makes the communication barrier diminish with the possibility of phone interaction with the whole world, with the exception of sanctioned countries.
