Bitcoin faucet – How to earn Bitcoins for free

A Bitcoin faucet is a great way to earn free Bitcoins. What exactly is a Bitcoin faucet? It is a website that allows you to share your Bitcoin wallet address in exchange for a small amount of Bitcoin for free. These sites come and go so review your bookmarks regularly.

Most bitcoin faucets have a catch. You usualy need to do something in return for the virtual currency reward. For example, the website Surf4bitcoin.com requires you to download and install a browser plugin which tracks your surfing habits. Once a month they host a drawing and award one lucky user 50 Bitcoins. That is a wopping $50,000 USD value at the time of writing this article!

Bunny Run awards winners a fraction of a Bitcoin if the enter their wallet address and pick the first, second, or third place bunny in a game. Some faucets payout out quickly and others take more time. Some only payout once. As mentioned before, a few only award lucky winners with Bitcoin.

The reason Bitcoin faucets exist is to attract attention and traffic to a website. In addition some seek to also generate additonal advertising revenue to further monetize that traffic.

Here is a large list of Bitcoin faucets, Bong-Bitcoin. This site organizes the faucets by payout interval. Don’t forget that other crypto currencies also offer faucets. Both Litecoin and Ripple, the number 2 and 3 virtual currencies by market cap to Bitcoin have faucets available.

Brands embrace social media for social good [INFOGRAPHIC]

Brands embrace social media for social good in this cool, new infographic from our friends at bluehost. Social networks are on fire and people are using them for good. Social enterprises are evolving as a hybrid of a charity and a business. Viral social media campaigns are assisting charities to achieve their goals like never before. One charity, Random Acts, uses social media to encourage the spread of kindness. They were able to raise $200,000 for the Hope for Haiti 2 campaign.

A bunch of celebrities are helping the cause. The likes of Usher and Justin Timberlake helped Keep a Child Alive raise $1 million in 2010. Lady gaga worked with HIV/AIDS programs to raise $202 million. Other celebs helped The Berry Family Children through the “Show Your Hearts” campaign too.

Best car brand on social media [INFOGRAPHIC]

The best car brand on social media was determined using seven criteria across three top social media networks. The top 10 Facebook fan pages were looked at and ranked by number of fans and engagement rate. The top 10 official Twitter accounts were ranked by followers and engagement as well. And the top 10 official YouTube accounts were measured for subscribers, video views and nuber of videos uploaded.

Overall Audi came out on top for two of the criteria. BMW, Aston Martin, Porsche, Kia, and Toyota won one time for each of the remaining six. You could hand the “king of social media” crown to Audi, but is is too close to tell. Otherwise if you assign a point system where number 1 in a category gets 10 points and number 10 gets 1 point, Audi still wins with 43 points. BMW comes in second with 41 points. Ferrari rounds out the top 3 with 34 points.

Big data marketing (Infographic)

Big data marketing is leveraging huge data sets being produced today and using analytics to better target customers. This analysis can provide more accurate decision making, time management and segmentation of your customers. It can even enable real-time marketing. Especially when paired with your companies’ social media channels. The value of the big data market is expected to skyrocket 261% from $18.1 billion in 2013 to $47 billion by 2017.

What is big data defined?

Big data defined is increasigly large amounts of data that tend to overwhelm existing database tools. The sheer volume of data being produced is incredible. An estimated 90% of all data was gathered in just the past two years.

Big data and analytics

Big data and analytics go hand in hand. By using distributed processing, cloud storage and data-management strategies, valuable insights may be teased out. Most marketers plan to implement a big data analytics solution in the next two years. A strong partnership with IT is crucial for this to be a success.

Social media business intelligence

Social media business intelligence is the convergence of two distinct disciplines. Business intelligence (BI) is where you dig into your data to identify trends and opportunities for development. After the data is analyzed you can create reports for marketers and strategists to use. Social media adds a a continuos and Real-Time (RT) data dimension component to BI.

Social media business intelligence or SMBI data is gathered from content in social media feeds via application programing interfaces (apis). This data is both generated RT and can be anayzed RT for the first time. The content for analysis can range in size from your Facebook page stats all the way up to big data.

Business intelligence social media

When it comes to business intelligence social media, there area number of tools available from top software vendors. SMBI tools from startups to top tech vendors like Microsoft, Oracle and Salesforce are easy enough for end users and powerful enough for DBAs (data base administrators) to customize. The challenge is integrating your social media data sources into your BI software

Social media business intelligence tools

Top 10 BI tools

1. SAP Business Objects

2. SAP Netweaver

3. IBM Cognos

4. SAS

5. Microsoft Business Intelligence

6. Oracle Hyperion

7. MicroStrategy

8. Webfocus

9. Informatica

10. Domo

To get social media data into your BI tool is hardly automatic at this point. Your options are to do it by hand coding, filtering and data cleaning yourself, hiring consulting services or buying a solution.

When hiring a consultant, there are different levels of service which can be categorized as low, medium, or high, each with proportional costs involved. At the low end you could have your Twitter account monitored and get inormation like the number of followers and their growth, plus how many brand mentions there are for your company or its competitors. At the mid-range you get additional networks monitored like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Some interpretaion of the data is offered for a monthly fee, consultion is extra if needed. At the high-end of the range, apis are used to process data RT. A database may be created and maintaind for historical data analysis as well. This option tends to be very expensive for most companies.

Here are some social media business intelligence tools and solution options for you.

Kapow Katalyst Platform (Kapow Software)

Kapow Katalyst Platform from Kapow Software provides a way to get unstructured social media data into your BI tool.

SAP Solution Extensions by NetBase (Netbase)
