New video interview app Qanda wants your questions AND your answers (Online Journalism Blog)

New video interview app Qanda wants your questions AND your answers (Online Journalism Blog) | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

The openness of social networks like Twitter or the ability to find an expert on LinkedIn, might make you think that this is territory already covered. But how much do we really openly share our own ideas?


Unless you are hanging around New York and run into a photographer called Brandon (Humans Of New York), you are unlikely to be asked the questions that get you talking about your own ideas and knowledge in depth.


Can Qanda be the app to get people asking those questions?


The use of mobile video in responses aligns with the rising trend in young people watching and sharing content from mobile devices.It’s also well established in journalism circles as one of the best approaches in interviews to get real, meaningful responses....

Text-to-video startup Guide relaunches to help online news publishers add videos to their sites

Text-to-video startup Guide relaunches to help online news publishers add videos to their sites | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Newsreader app Guide is no more… well, at least in its current form.


The company that once aimed to help consumers better digest the news with a video channel of websites read by its lovable avatars has been reborn as a service for publishers. It’s still focused on the news, but has evolved into a platform that provides online sites with inexpensive quality videos, which may have been originally thought of as being too far out of reach. The new service launches today.


What publishers receive from the reborn Guide is technology that will turn any news article, like the one you’re reading now, into a video. The company says that its process will “auto-generate” multimedia videos in a way that is “inexpensive, fast, and at scale.” Prior to launch, the service had already been in use on 270 sites. Guide claims that the average click to play rate was 19 percent, while the average completion rate was 47.8 percent.


Guide intends to monetize its service through standard fees for voice-over work and advertising inserted into videos placed on a publisher’s website. In addition, it will license its technology through a SaaS offering where publishers can pay per video and on a CPM rate....

Jeff Domansky's curator insight, January 15, 2014 3:12 AM

Inexpensive text to video? The marketing possibilities are exciting if Guide lives up to expectations. Cool technology worth watching as it develops.

40+ Social Tools for Personal Branding Success

40+ Social Tools for Personal Branding Success | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

There is no one-size-fits-all secret tool combination for personal branding success.  The main reason I haven’t blogged about all my tools is because I use A LOT of tools. And, I don’t believe any tool is the one perfect tool that does everything. On that same note, I don’t believe every person should use the exact same tools in the exact same way.  Not to mention that tools and social media platforms are changing so rapidly it’s hard to stay up to date with all the features and functions.


With all that being said I decided to breakdown the tools I use into different sections and provide you a quick overview of each tool that I use. Please note: just because I use it doesn’t mean it’s a perfect fit for you. Rather I hope that you take away from this post knowledge of the variety of tools you can leverage and some great tool recommendations I suggest you check out and test for yourself....
