Look Out Instagram – Vine is Taking Over!
Vine vs. Instagram

The New Vine Craze
Vine Application Creates Buzz
Do you Vine?
If not, I urge you to try it out for yourself to see if you like it. Vine is a fairly new video app available to iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, 5, iPod touch (3rd, 4th, and 5th generation), and iPad users. What separates this innovation from the rest of its competitors is the ability to create clean, crisp, interesting videos related to a closed network. That is not to say that Vine will not expand to the Google Play Android market, however, it is currently popular as a result of its exclusivity. This app has caused a huge buzz throughout the personal use of it, but this has also transferred into the marketing and branding industry as well! Popular brand names such as Beats by Dre, Urban Outfitters, and Wendy’s have used vine to extend their branding efforts to target audiences within the mobile online community. The White House even utilizes Vine!

Captcha Codes: Protect Your Site
Captcha Codes – Secure Website Log-ins
What’s that weird squiggly security field that appears each time we enter passwords online? We’ve all seen them before, and they’re called CAPTCHA Codes. They’ve been prompting us on a more frequent basis. This may have something to do with the fact that recently a group of hackers attacked 90,000 smaller WordPress blogs. (Gasp!) It is extremely important to create complex passwords and usernames in efforts to protect your online information. In February we posted an article, Online Social Hacking, to explain the dangers of internet hacking. We also used an example of Burger King and Jeep’s recent twitter hacks, which went public, and virally spread through headlines of publications like wildfire.
How are hackers able to access this information? … Continue Reading
