Pinterest Tests a New Look

Normally when a website or service tries a new look it’s interesting but when that site is all about images it gets very pinteresting (yes, I went there).
Pinterest, the darling of the ‘I don’t like to read, I only like pictures’ set is testing a new look with a few of its members. According to the Pinterest blog
We’re excited to announce that we’ll be testing an update to Pinterest.com with a small group of people soon. With this update, we’ve tried to take your feedback into account. We’re eager to learn even more from some of you during this test. Here’s some of our thinking behind the new look:
Easier to get around
We made the navigation more intuitive, so it’s faster to get to where you want to go.
More is, well, more
Pins are bigger and we’ve added more information related to pins, so it’s easier to find things you’re interested in. For example, on each pin, you’ll see pins from the same board, other boards this pin was pinned to, and a whole slew of related pins.
In addition to the changes you can see, we also made some improvements behind the scenes that we hope will make things faster.
So essentially the goal is to make Pinterest easier, faster and bigger.
What else can you say? Here’s a picture.

Are you on pins and needles over the new look? Are you pinning your marketing hopes on better performance from the new look? You get the picture? (Ha, get it?! Phew, I’ve got the comedy speedometer pinned right now ….)

With the official tweet from Google, the first algorithm update for the year is marked. Here is the original tweet: Remember the day when Google Panda scared everyone in the web marketing world back in February 2011? The first panda update was like a major earthquake; however the aftershocks which kept appearing in the form of data refreshes are not even noticed nowadays as they have become too common (this is the 3rd month in a row where we have seen panda refreshes). Whenever there is an algorithm update, everyone head to the analytics of their website to see if there were any changes in traffic. However, most of them fail to see the trend changes in third-party sites ...

Fast Lane to the Future: Unveiling the Wonders of 5G Technology

Image
  5G, or fifth-generation technology, is the latest standard for cellular networks, succeeding 4G (LTE). It represents a significant leap in terms of speed, capacity, and connectivity compared to its predecessors. Here's an overview of 5G technology and how it works: What is 5G Technology? Speed and Bandwidth: 5G promises significantly faster data speeds compared to previous generations. While 4G LTE can offer peak speeds in the range of tens of megabits per second (Mbps), 5G can provide gigabit-level speeds, often exceeding 1 gigabit per second (Gbps). Low Latency: 5G networks aim to reduce latency, the time it takes for data to travel from the source to the destination and back. Low latency is crucial for applications that require near-instantaneous response times, such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and autonomous vehicles. Increased Capacity: With a higher frequency spectrum and advanced antenna technologies, 5G networks can support a significantly larger numb...
