ZTE Fury (Sprint)


The ZTE Fury offers fast performance, plenty of features, and good battery life, all for less than $20. The tradeoff is a poor camera and call quality that is just okay. It's an inexpensive, reliable Android smartphone for Sprint users on a budget?just make sure to take a close look at the sale rack before buying.

Design and Call Quality
Plain and simple, the ZTE Fury measures 4.7 by 2.5 by .5 inches (HWD) and weighs 4.9 ounces. The phone is encased in a thick layer of soft-touch black plastic, with silver accents running along the edges and a pattern made of tiny gray circles on the back. It isn't rugged, but it feels like it can withstand more abuse than average, fragile smartphone. There are four capacitive touch buttons below the Fury's 3.5-inch, 480-by-320-pixel display. While the screen looks sharp and bright enough, that resolution is on the low side. The phone's on-screen keyboard is a little small, but still usable.

The Fury is a tri band EV-DO Rev. A (800/850/1900 MHz) device with 802.11b/g Wi-Fi. It can also be used as a mobile hotspot to provide a 3G connection to up to five different devices with the appropriate service plan. Reception on the Fury is average, though call quality is slightly below. Voices are nice and loud in the phone's earpiece, though somewhat fuzzy and harsh. Calls made with the phone showed average noise cancellation, but voices were muffled and distant. The speakerphone sounds fine and is just loud enough to use outdoors. Calls also sounded fine through a?Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset ($129, 4 stars), and voice dialing worked well. Battery life was good at 8 hours and 6 minutes of talk time.

Processor and Apps
Running Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread), there's no word yet on an update to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) for the Fury, so I wouldn't count on it in the very near future. ZTE has done almost nothing to the version of Android running here. There's not much bloatware or preinstalled apps, aside from Sprint ID, which allows you to install "ID packs" on your phone that include applications, ringtones, wallpapers, and widgets. This lets you keep your phone looking plain Jane if you prefer stock Android, or jazz it up with something a little different. Interestingly, the phone also has a setting for Emergency Alerts, where you can choose to be notified of Amber alerts, extreme alerts, and severe alerts.

The Fury is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 MSM8655 processor. This is a faster CPU than you'll find in many other budget smartphones, though still no match for dual-core. Even so, the Fury turned in rather good benchmarks for a single-core device; credit the lower screen resolution and lack of UI modification.

All of the standard Android apps are here. You get Google Maps Navigation for free voice-enabled, turn-by-turn GPS directions. The phone syncs email, calendars, and contacts for Gmail and Microsoft Exchange accounts, and works with many other popular email accounts. And the Fury's solid performance means you shouldn't have trouble running most of the 450,000+ apps available from the Google Play market.

Multimedia, Camera, and Conclusions
The Fury comes with 2.59GB of available internal memory. There?s also a 2GB microSD card preloaded in the slot beneath the battery cover; my 32GB and 64GB SanDisk cards worked fine as well. The standard 3.5mm headphone jack means you can use the Fury with just about any pair of wired headphones. Music sounded fine over wired earbuds as well as through?Altec Lansing BackBeat?Bluetooth headphones ($99, 3.5 stars). The music player is stock Android, and I was able to play AAC, MP3, OGG, and WAV files, but not FLAC or WMA. The Fury was also able to play back all of our video test files at resolutions up to 720p.

The camera is a big disappointment. It's a 5-megapixel shooter with an LED flash. Shutter speeds are agonizingly slow, at an average of 2.1 seconds to snap a photo. And after that wait, photos look dim and somewhat soft. The video camera is worse. Recorded videos max out at VGA (640-by-480 pixels) resolution, and play back at a choppy 13 frames per second.

Camera aside, the ZTE Fury is a good choice for first-time smartphone users, but be sure to look at your other options carefully. Right now, you can get the HTC EVO 3D?(3 stars), LG Marquee?(3.5 stars), or Nexus S 4G?(3 stars) for free. All of those phones are a step up from the Fury, with nicer displays, better cameras, and comparable, if not faster, processors. But the phones on sale chage often, while the Fury will retain its inexpensive price tag, making it a reliable bet for buyers on a budget. The Samsung Conquer 4G?($49.99, 4 stars) is another good option, and gets you a better camera and faster 4G WiMAX data speeds than the Fury for just $30 more.

Benchmarks
Continuous talk time: 8 hours 6 minutes

Dachis Group: The Challenge of Measuring ... - Social Media Today

Online social influence is one of those phenomena that are hard to define, but we ?know it when we see it.?

And social influence is even much harder to track than it is to define.? Businesses are becoming increasingly social in their marketing, sales and customer service using a wide range of strategies, tactics and platforms. Some work, some work better than others.

How big a challenge is measuring social influence online?? The answer lies in why we?re asking the question.? Do we want to know whom influences whom in what ways to get people to buy a certain car, or vote for a certain political candidate?? If that?s the case we?re in for a wild ride because the psychology of individual choice is wide, deep and rich.? We can understand social influence in its correlations?when certain influencers say something we can see a correlated set of responses occurring.

But correlation isn?t the same as causality.? Proving causality means you can specifically attribute when certain influencers say something it causes the following responses.? This is not measurement, its attribution.? And attribution is the real proof of social influence.

Klout and its mongrel brethren have built simple models defining ?influencers? as people whose social messages are repeated repeatedly by others.? Klout then parses these influencers into buckets numbered from 1 to 100 and sells them to Virgin Airlines and other corporations like a PR agency in reverse.

I?ve wondered what the respected minds in data science think about the challenge of defining, capturing and measuring online social influence.? I?ve set out to meet and talk with people who are trying to capture, measure and analyze social causality on the largest scales.

Gilad Elbaz, a Google alum,?has a start up called Factual Inc, which the New York Times profiled last Sunday.??The goal of Factual leaves one gobsmacked: to capture and normalize all the data in the world.? All the data, baby. ??I?m sure that will take a little time and present enough challenges to keep armies of experts on the cutting edges of technology, semantics, and library science.

I?ve been challenged by some to point to organizations and people who are going about the business of measuring social influence and using that to create understanding and then actions based on that understanding.? If Klout is wrong, who is right?

One place to start is in Austin, Texas, twenty-six floors above Congress Boulevard, in the aviary headquarters of Dachis Group. Here, among half-finished offices lined with whiteboards filled to overflowing, are people working to understand the causality in social influence?how can we accurately attribute social communications to influencing real world actions?

Jeff Dachis founded Dachis Group in 2008 in Austin.? The idea behind Dachis Group is consulting with clients about what he calls ?Social Business,? a sweeping change he sees as corporations become more transparent and social.? With this change comes the opportunity to build strong, direct relationships with customers, participating in the marketplace of social conversation.

Dachis is best known as the founder of Razorfish, now the lead digital agency owned by advertising giant Publicis Groupe.?? He saw Razorfish through a successful IPO in 1998, and then the dot-bomb crash before leaving in 2001.? Now he?s on to social, and Dachis Group has become ?a leading strategic consulting firm to Fortune 500 companies about social media, transparency and authenticity.? Interestingly, they consider themselves to be foremost a SaaS and solutions provider.

As a foundation for that strategy, a year ago Dachis announced an ambitious project, the Dachis Social Business Index (SBI) a project to build a data platform that could ingest enormous amounts of social network messages and use them to provide detailed analysis of howbrands and corporations are talked about in the vast social communications ecosystem.

What nascent start-ups like Kred, Klout and PROScore are trying to do to measure ?social influence? of people, the SBI is doing in the online world for global corporations.? And the scale, complexity and analytical capabilities of the SBI platform are close to staggering.? Corporations pay well to collaborate with Dachis on the SBI as it adds more and more capabilities.?The basic ?SBI has been made available for free to the public?since September, providing information and graphing the social communications of major corporations around the world, ranking them on their effectiveness.? (Top dog??News Corp, owned by Rupert Murdoch)

Starting with 2,000 corporations worldwide, the SBI began to scrape 100 million social sources, pulling in conversations and links and analyzing the language of those tweets, posts and comments and adding overlays of dozens of other data sources.? Today more than 30,000 companies and brands are analyzed by the SBI platform.? According to Dachis Group each day more than 50 million ?brand relevant? social network messages are analyzed.

Courtney Boyd Myers, writing last September in The Next Web, described the SBI as: ?derived from company, employee, partner/vendor,?customer, engaged market and influencer data, and it is sourced from scraping sites like?Twitter, Facebook, Wikis, YouTube, forums,?and blogs as well as data?buys, data partnerships, company contributions, and its?own internal data team.?It had over 100 of the world?s largest companies participating in its?early access program to help cement the data and gain insights as to how the data is?used.?

?Social listening? platforms like Radian6 provide data about keywords.? Assuming you define your keywords correctly, there?s a lot you can learn.? But it?s a big like playing 20 Questions?you have to ask the right question to get a worthwhile answer.? SBI is a ?big data? platform that grabs a huge portion of the relevant social communications of a brand?s ?business social graph? and from this enormous data set you can query, organize, drill down, and slice and dice the entire data set.

This pushes much farther towards a new standards for social media attribution.? How effective is a specific marketing campaign?? Which events affected a brand?s perception in the southeastern US?? What messages were triggered by a Facebook promotion?

The SBI platform extends into China, Russia and other foreign countries, further complicating the problem of gathering this morass of big data, wrestling it to the ground and beating it into coherent shape enough to provide analysis and attribution for a brand or corporation.

In the midst of the SXSW swirl this month, I sat with Erik Huddleston, CTO and EVP-Products and Craig Bromberg, Vice President of Business Development for Dachis Group and talked with them about the challenge of measuring the social influence of corporations.

I also took a closer look at the structure and performance of the Social Business Index (SBI) tool and the far more comprehensive cloud platform offering SBISaaS.?? (The public SBI is available at?http://socialbusinessindex.com.)? In November the next module called Social Portfolio Insight was released, to be the ?system of record? for a brand?s social accounts across all brands. Social Performance Monitor was released in January to enable real-time measurement of social conversations on a brand?s performance.? It?s also the first module that requires a substantial subscription.? ??Coming next are two more subscription modules, Advocate Insight and Employee Insight, which will enable companies to drill down into the influence of brand advocates and their own employees.

The fundamental question is, given the huge morass of unstructured social communication about a brand, realistically how can anyone measure ?social influence??

?Measuring is a big problem,? Huddleston granted, ?but attribution is a much bigger one.?

Social messages are what are called ?unstructured data,? meaning it travels with almost no metadata that relates with other messages. ?Structured data would be like data from a spreadsheet or from a database.? Unstructured data has to be harvested and then evaluated with natural language processing, semantic analysis, and machine learning algorithms in order to interpret what the data mean.

This is akin to taking all the rocks in the Yosemite National Park and carefully reviewing each one for size, shape, mineral content, location, relationship to other rocks and so on.

?From the NLP and so on we build what we call a brand vocabulary index,? said Huddleston.? ?This is the taxonomy of meaning of the brand?the words, the ideas, the phrases that the brand uses, and that people use in talking about the brand.? In this way we?re trying to understand conversations, not just keywords.?

?Radian6 and others track and find keywords,? Bromberg explained.? ?We?re not saying that?s not valuable?it is.? There is a more important opportunity to analyze the performance of a brand or a company in the conversations and the context they provide.?

?BP could have used Radian6 to analyze social conversations when their oil platform was leaking,? Bromberg continued.? ?But they didn?t know which of the five or six methods of social media crisis management were working, and how they were working in different geographies, precisely on what platforms.?? That?s what the SBISaaS platform is designed to do.?

Huddleston used a term coined by Jeff Dachis, the ?social business graph,? which they take to mean the connections and relationships of a brand or corporation to people across social communications.? SBI builds a map of the social business graph of a corporation across all of the messaging that relates to the brand vocabulary.

?The SBI helps our client?s aggregate social media conversations into a system of record,? said Huddleston.? ?From this they can look into the performance of their campaigns and see what measures they can take to reach the full potential of the subscriber set in each social platform.?

?Advocacy is a perplexing and seductive problem,? Bromberg pointed out.? ?Every company has to create content programming, and social media represents an opportunity to use measure this programming.? They key is that we?re now able with SBI to not just measure ideas like sentiment and trending, but we can follow influence down to specific conversations.? This isn?t just measurement; we?re drilling down to provide attribution.?

?When you get the complete picture like this it allows you to see how all of your communications are actually working in the market,? Bromberg continued.? ?With this you see the power of advertising receding and the power of advocacy becoming much more important.? It gives you answers to questions of ?how do we reach them??

Dachis Group says it is currently working with 40% of Fortune 500 companies.? When it began working on the SBI in 2010, Dachis approached a selected group of companies and asked them to collaborate by integrating internal data with the social data that the SBI would collect and helping think through how to model the data to make it useful.

So how does a platform like the SBI deliver a real understanding of ?social influence??

?There are two answers to that,? said Huddleston with a smile. ?The first is that we gather the data and figure out what it means, then (the client) can figure out the value from that meaning according to their existing measures.? Proctor and Gamble has a long track record of modeling what certain actions and chains of action mean to a brand in the marketplace.?

?If Nokia and Microsoft want to reposition Nokia as a smartphone rather than a value brand phone they come to the table looking for specific ways to use social to communicate to achieve their goals.?

?Second,? Huddleston continued, ?then we help customers do this, figure out what the attribution means to them.? We?re concerned with business outcomes, how this directly drives our client?s businesses.? We?ve got the biggest social strategy group in the world to help them do this.?

Still he admitted that we?re standing at the dawn of really understanding how communication in social networks drives real business outcomes.

?It?s just too early in this,? he said.? ?There are just not solid models of ROMI (return on marketing investment).? I?m sure we?ll see best practices emerge about how to truly accurately measure return on investment, but its way too early in the game for that.?

Huddleston smiled.?? ?We?re just over a year into it.?

Best Places To Travel During The Holidays With Your Family ...

Article by Joyce Jackson

Thinking about taking your family on a Christmas vacation?

Although it has long been tradition to wait at home for Santa to arrive, a number of American families spend Christmas away from home each year. Christmas vacations are becoming more and more popular and you will likely find that there is a wide variety of fun holiday vacations available to you.

What better place to visit during the holiday season than the North Pole ? North Pole, New York that is. Located in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York, North Pole is one of the most magical places to visit during your Christmas vacation. Perfect for kids and kids at heart, North Pole is open for five weekends prior to Christmas during November and December.

Visitors are offered Christmas vacation packages that include meals, lodging, and admission to Santa?s workshop. Santa?s Village features shops where you can find the perfect souvenir from your Christmas vacation. There is often live music to keep the crowds entertained and you and your family can enjoy watching glassblowers, puppet shows and other holiday entertainment.

If New York state seems a little far from the real North Pole, try getting a little closer to the real thing by visiting North Pole, Alaska on your Christmas vacation. The Alaskan vacation package also includes a visit to Santa?s house in the North Pole. Also offered is an optional dog sled ride through Santa?s village in the North Pole. Enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience as you race through the magical North Pole on an authentic Alaskan dog sled. Like the vacation package in North Pole, New York, the Alaskan North Pole offers one or two night stays during weekends.

The Alaskan North Pole Christmas vacation includes hotel accommodations in nearby Fairbanks and at the Chena Hot Springs Resort. There is also lodging available at the Santaland RV Park. The Santa House also offers a large store where guests to the North Pole can find every type of souvenir from ?I Believe in Santa? hats to ?Santa Claus Crossing? signs and refrigerator magnets. Whether you are two or ninety-two the magic of Christmas in North Pole, Alaska will have you believing in Saint Nick.

If you are traveling before or during the Christmas season, then consider Hershey, Pennsylvania as your vacation destination. The home of Hershey?s candy, Hershey Park becomes home to Christmas Candyland, where over one million Christmas lights are put on display. In addition to the lights, the staff at Hershey Park constructs a number of animated displays that are sure to delight both you are your children.

Christmas Candyland is undoubtedly one of the most exciting Christmas time getaways for kids young and old. In addition to Christmas Candyland guests can enjoy the rest of the Park. Hershey Park is a popular destination for travelers year round, as it offers a wide variety of both entertainment and great candy. Christmas Candyland typically runs for a month prior to Christmas.

If your family has never taken a Disney vacation, Christmastime may be the perfect time to do it. In addition to enjoying the Walt Disney World parade which is televised each year from Disney World in Orlando, Florida, your kids will also enjoy seeing all their favorite Disney characters decked out in their Santa hats and Christmas outfits. There are also a number of special Christmas time shows put on in the parks including Mickey Mouse?s ?Twas the Night Before Christmas and Belle?s Enchanted Christmas Storytelling.

These Christmas activities can be great for young children. Giant Christmas trees are erected throughout the parks and lit up with thousands of Christmas lights, bringing the spirit of Christmas alive throughout the already magical Disney World. The weeks around the Christmas season are also times where lodging rates at Disney World resorts are typically lower than the peak season rates.

By traveling during the Christmas season you are likely to get tons of fun at a reduced price. The weather in central Florida during the Christmas season is typically in the mid-70s, a great change of pace if you are used to cold, wintry Christmas seasons. Santa?s sleigh may have some trouble landing without snow but the magic of the Christmas season is alive and well at Disney World.

There often seems to be one thing that comes up from time to time, and it demands us to deal with it and discover more, perhaps. No must question too much or feel alarmed about inexplicable desires to uncover what?s behind one thing that catches your eye. What we?re driving at here has to do with taking those 1st actions to finding out more.

So just remember that understanding as much as possible can start with this post, but don?t cease here.

Outsourcing has been around long just before the internet. To reach your goals more efficiently outsourcing is one thing you must contemplate. Many individuals have never heard the term outsourcing just before but will recognize it once it is explained. If you already have a proven method in spot, you?ll be able to take it to higher levels by outsourcing the time-consuming tasks whilst you perform on more essential things. If your marketing is already creating outcomes then you?ll be able to have far higher outcomes by hiring workers. Probably the most effective marketers realize this concept really well. Outsourcing is easy but there are nevertheless a couple of rules which you must follow. Patience is needed with outsourcing simply because you are going to not see instant outcomes. Keep reading to uncover proven outsourcing strategies.

When selecting your outsourcing team, it?s essential to determine how competent they?re inside the market. The on-line competition is expanding day by day, and outsourcing businesses are no exception. So just before you even begin operating with them on the project, make sure they have an excellent amount of Internet marketing expertise. So, they?ll do the heavy lifting but you nevertheless need to monitor their progress and ensure that the perform is as much as regular. Occasionally they may be unsure of what to do at instances, so reassure them that if they ever have a problem that they are able to contact you. An essential tip to keep in mind when outsourcing your tasks is that you have to supply the worker a test project 1st to determine his/her caliber. This is a great thought just before you give them the responsiblity of one thing larger and more essential. A great deal of marketers do this, and it serves its intended purpose really well. It?s really simple to test individuals simply because you just give them a smaller sized scale task to full, and then you?ll be able to evaluate them. The goal would be to evaluate over time how well individuals execute, so then merely slowly boost their responsibilities and perform load till you happen to be happy they are able to do it.

One of the essential tasks that you can outsource for the Internet marketing company is client service. Many Internet marketers often outsource the client service component of their company.

Your only job would be to ensure that your customers aren?t getting ignored and are getting the degree of service they paid for.

Internet marketing is among the handful of venues exactly where you?ll be able to make huge sums of money within a short time frame, but a lot of people never will simply because they all concentrate on the incorrect strategies. In the old days, there weren?t any of those services. The resources available have come a long way. Also, you?ll be able to employ someone for something you either can not do well or do not have the time to do on your personal. After you get the hang of it you are going to wonder why you have not done it earlier. It all comes down to organization, communication, and outsourcing to skilled candidates.

It is really typical to come across or encounter some sorts of challenging considerations with URFA ? that has already been skilled by numerous.

Everybody likes to talk about info overload, and that?s truly a significant problem in this regard.

There?s absolutely nothing unusual at all about conflicts among points of view and what individuals discover in their own analysis.

But make no mistake when you are coping with these precise problems, as well as the nature of them compel you to make positive every little thing is correct and expert in any way. There?s truly not much else you?ll be able to do about that, but you?ll be able to sharpen your mind so you?ll be protected.

Security camera scans 36 million faces a second

12 hrs.

Note to robbers: Wear your ski mask.

A new surveillance camera system developed by Hitachi Kokusai Electric?can search through data on 36 million faces in one second, Tokyo video news site DigInfo TV reported Thursday.

The system detects a face from a regular photo or a surveillance video -- such as those made on six pack pick-ups at the corner convenience store -- and searches for it.

Search results appear instantaneously. Select a thumbnail image and the system will show its associated context in a surveillance video. Not the person who pilfered the chewing gum? Go to the next candidate.

"The high speed is achieved by detecting faces through image recognition when the footage from the camera is recorded and also by grouping similar faces," a company representative told DigInfo.

To work, faces must be turned with 30 degrees of the camera and be 40 by 40 pixels in size.

Hitachi Kokusai Electric expects the technology to be attractive to companies with relative large surveillance systems, such as railroads, big box stores, and law enforcement agencies.

The system should be available for purchase in fiscal year 2013.

Idaho health insurance rate hikes deemed excessive by feds | Idaho ...

Two health insurance companies in Idaho may need to provide refunds, lower their rate increases or tell the public why they won't, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The agency said Thursday that insurance rate increases in nine states including Idaho have been deemed excessive under new rate-review authorities granted by the 2010 health care reform law. The law set a new rule that double-digit rate increases must be reviewed.

The two insurance companies weren't identified in a news release, but Idaho insurers have proposed rate increases of 13 to 16 percent. The only insurance companies whose rate increase reviews have been completed, according to the HHS website companyprofiles.healthcare.gov are two Assurant Health divisions named John Alden Life Insurance Co. and Time Insurance Co.

"It's time for these companies to immediately rescind these unreasonable rate hikes, issue refunds to consumers or publicly explain their refusal to do so," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

Since state and federal regulators started reviewing proposed rate increases in September, insurers have tried to raise rates less than they did before the new rules took effect, the agency said.

The agency said insurance rates were unreasonable in Idaho and the other states because the insurers wouldn't be using enough of their premium dollars "for actual medical care and quality improvements, and because the justifications were based on unreasonable assumptions."

Have your health insurance premiums risen by at least 30 percent in a year? The Statesman wants to hear from you. Call or email reporter Audrey Dutton at adutton@idahostatesman.com or 377-6448.

Stillwater is honored for support to troops

No city in the nation does a better job than Stillwater of helping soldiers reintegrate into civilian life when they return from combat or helping their families when they are away.

The city has been awarded the 2011 Sea of Goodwill Award by Homeward Deployed, a Washington-based organization that recognizes communities for their efforts in supporting service members, veterans and those who serve in reserve units.

Representatives from Homeland Deployed made the presentation Thursday during a ceremony at the Washington County Historic Courthouse in Stillwater.

Stillwater was the national winner in the category for communities with between 10,000 and 99,999 people.

Hugo also was recognized Thursday as the honorable mention in the same category.

"We think it's time to recognize the extraordinary support local communities offer to veterans and their families around the country," said Gretchen Martens, Homeward Deployed's chief executive officer. "Their efforts in supporting service members, veterans and their families are greatly appreciated."

Stillwater and Hugo are Yellow Ribbon communities and involved in efforts to help families affected by deployment, said Mike Polehna, of the Washington County Parks Department, who is active in the yellow ribbon campaign.

In the past two years, volunteers have organized a pheasant hunt for returning soldiers and arranged for services such as plumbing and snow plowing.

"This is a celebration and thank you for all the people working to support the troops," he said.

Social Media for Offline Business: The Importance Of Social Media ...

Social Media for Offline Businesses Social Media Marketing Social Media GuruThere are literally thousands of articles online speaking about the importance of social media for online businesses. A simple Google search will likely turn up more information than anybody could want regarding how best to use Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, and Facebook for the purpose of online business ? and these social networking sites are merely the tip of the iceberg. There are several other, lesser-known social media sites that can factor into the game for online businesses, as well.

It?s obvious why social media sites are important for online business. It?s a free, efficient way of marketing to the virtual crowd. After all, if your business is virtual, then it only makes sense that you should be advertising where the virtual populace goes to hang out and chat with friends. It?s the equal to putting up a sign at a baseball game or the mall. Online businesses must market to an online audience.

However, many people mistakenly believe that social media need not factor much into the running of an offline business, and this is a serious mistake. Even if you own a store front with tangible products and physical shopping carts ? and not a Caf? Press website with a ?shopping cart? icon in the corner ? you should still be meandering through the virtual crowd with the rest of the world.

Why? Even though your business might be physical, chances are that your customers are spending a lot of time on these social networking sites. If your store exists in the real world as well, working both the social media angle and the traditional means of advertising can give you a double edge over the competition, and that?s not an advantage that should be glanced over lightly. Thousands of people do their shopping primarily online these days in the comfort of their homes ? in order to have a chance of bringing some of that business through your physical door, you need to be working on the virtual side of things, as well.

So when you sit down in your store in the real world, don?t forget to spend some time thinking about how you can promote your store in the virtual one. Most people have a foot in the physical and a foot in the virtual nowadays, and you have a serious advantage in being rooted in the physical world. Online businesses have no stake in the world outside of the Internet, but you can step into the virtual world with ease. Be sure to take advantage of this position you have as somebody who owns a physical store, and the benefits you?ll reap will be incredible!

'New Girl': Nick Freaks Out After Finding Out He Might Have Cancer ...

"New Girl" (Tue., 9 p.m. EST on Fox) went with a very simple story this week, instead focusing more attention on developing the camaraderie of the gang and their relationships and personalities. After Jess tackles Nick during a football game, he winds up going to her friend, who's an OB/GYN. Nevertheless, she is able to diagnose a concerning growth on his thyroid. So she schedules an ultrasound to check it out for the next morning.

The bulk of the episode then was the night before his ultrasound, as everyone reacts to the news. There are tears, from all three roommates, and a realization that Nick doesn't do things when he doesn't already know the outcome. Because of this, he's missed out on a lot of great opportunities.

Empowered by the pills he's been taking for his back pain, that are prescribed for painful menstruation, Nick decides to run into the ocean in the middle of the night -- a decision he immediately regrets. The gang then bonds and enjoys an unexpected night on the beach before heading in and finding out that Nick's fine.

But while Nick came out of the episode unscathed, it marked the first and last appearance of Winston's truck, which has to go down as one of the most pathetic looking vehicles on television.

Watch "New Girl" Tuesdays at 9 p.m. EST on Fox.
