Let’s run through a little thought experiment. Imagine there’s a list somewhere that contains every single webpage you have visited in the last five years. It also has everything you have ever searched for, every address you looked up on Google Maps, every email you sent, every chat message, every YouTube video you watched. Each entry is time-stamped, so it’s clear exactly, down to the minute, when all of this was done. Now imagine that list is all searchable. And imagine it’s on a clean, easy-to-use website. With all that imagined, can you think of a way a hacker, with access to …

SMToolbox: Creating Narrative from Noise with Bottlenose Social Analytics

April 27, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Social analytics has been in the news again with Twitter’s recent acquisition of Gnip. There appears to be a consensus that hidden within the mass of social data are insights that can provide companies with a competitive edge. However, drawing out these insights is not easy despite the range of social analytics tools that exist. This week in SMToolbox, I am looking at how you can develop insights with Bottlenose, which brings a refreshing and sophisticated approach to real time social analytics.One of the things I liked when talking to Bottlenose was their aim to create narratives from noise. At one level Bottlenose is similar to other tools in that it aims to spot social trends, track interests, measure conversations, analyze keywords and identify …

Microsoft Discloses Zero Day in All Versions of Internet Explorer

April 27, 2014 / / 0 Comments

Late Saturday Microsoft revealed a vulnerability in all versions of Internet Explorer that is being used in “limited, targeted attacks.” They are investigating the vulnerability and exploit and have not yet determined what action they will take in response or when. All versions of Internet Explorer from 6 through 11 are listed as vulnerable as well as all supported versions of Windows other than Server Core. Windows Server versions on which IE is run in the default Enhanced Security Configuration are not vulnerable unless an affected site is placed in the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. The vulnerability was reported to Microsoft by research firm FireEye. FireEye says that, while the vulnerability affects all versions of IE, the attack is specific to versions 9, 10 and 11.

Accompli: A Perfect iOS Email App But We Wish it Wasn’t Free

April 27, 2014 / / 0 Comments

I hate email. The team at The Next Web can attest to just how often I complain about email. Email is slow, cumbersome, often overwhelming and hard to deal with. There’s just so much of it. I’ve always been bad at email and despite great solutions like Mailbox existing, I’ve never found the perfect iOS email client. Up until recently, I’ve been using the built-in iOS email client to get mail from my four Gmail accounts, mostly because the Gmail app lacks a unified inbox (it’s also pretty slow) and Mailbox, while useful, lacks a desktop app (there’s a beta coming soon) which makes the workflow a little painful. Acompli, which was announced just a few days ago, set out …

10 Social Media Accounts You Can Learn From

April 27, 2014 / / 0 Comments

If it seems like everyone is on some sort of social media outlet, that assumption may not be far off. As of September 2013, 73% of adults online are on social networks. Because most social media networks are free and can reach a large audience, it’s no wonder that people and companies have increased their presence on social media. The thing is, not every social media outlet is the same. Each network has a different message and audience. For example, just because MTV has a large following on Twitter, doesn’t mean that it would find the same success on LinkedIn. This is why you need to find out where a majority of your audience is spending time. If not, all of your hard work is for …
