Experience in iPhone Apps

Check out if the company has the experience in developing mobile applications and publishing on the Apple Store. See if their website lists the apps developed along with screen shots? If the company has some iPhone applications listed on the App Store, check the links.

Concept to Execution

It may be good to know if the development firm has the ability to conceive an idea for an app, design and deploy in the market. If they have a framework to create an engaging, easy-to-use application, then you have an advantage. If they are not creative, unwilling to bring fresh ideas to the table or lack quality suggestions for your idea, then it’s a waste of time dealing with the company.

With social networking sites attracting millions every month, the risk of virus attacks, account hijacks and spam mounts. Several instances of hackers exploiting these social media networks have exposed flaws in the system. In April this year, Michael Mookey, a 17-year-old student from New York, created a virus that sent automated tweets in thousands through a cross-site scripting vulnerability. Twitter acknowledged the attack but insisted that no user-sensitive data was lost. Apparently, Mookey only meant to popularise his site, stalkdaily. In August, Twitter was shut down for a few hours when a hacker sent a worm that crashed its servers. The same morning, Facebook confirmed that there was a similar attack but said it affected only a part of the network. Read the complete story on Social Media hacking and spamming.

A new ‘click to call’ tool promises to increase this to 10 per cent. The system works this way: Online businesses have to plug a code on their Web site. When visitors arrive on a page and look for the price, features, model, delivery and other product information, they just have to type their landline or mobile phone number on the site and hit the ‘click to call’ button. The application connects the customer to a Web site support agent within seconds. The agent can then answer the user’s queries and help complete the sale.

He struts around proudly with a Pentax K200D on his shoulders. And answers to the name Karthick Ramalingam.

The seventh child of Ramalingam and Thangam, Karthik was born in a village near Thanjavur. An MSc in Computer Science, Karthick played around with a camera when he was under 10 years. His interest in the varied expressions of the human face led him to portrait photography. “I love expressions in human faces and that’s why I tend to shoot a lot of them,” he says with a wry smile breaking out. And adds, “I love black and white. And feel that the depth of emotions are not captured well on colour. It’s more poignant in black and white.”

Small reason why he was invited by Alliance Francaise, Chennai, to showcase his stills. Titled “Faces that are lined with stories,” it’s a bunch of 23 portraits of old people whose wrinkles, sunken eyes and high cheek bones speak about the bygone struggles. The exhibition is on till 18th of October, 2009.

Karthick’s passion for photography is matched only by his love for trekking. Often he heads to Nagalapuram, that lies to the North of Chennai on the border of Andhra Pradesh. The terrain here he says, “is replete with hills, trees and beautiful streams.” And it allows him to be with nature and capture its fascinating other side. “I find solace in being with Nature snapping butterflies, structure of the rocks and the odd tusker,” continues he. Amazingly he wears no gear during treks, preferring just his Jockey inner wear and a pair of chappals.

Karthick strongly feels that the standard of education at school level is particularly poor in the rural side. And dreams of turning a professor to do his bit for society. Good luck, Karthick.

In this interview, Ramakrishnamoorthy Venkatasubbu (RKM), COO – Impiger Technologies, explains the basics of click to call services. And tells us how it can generate leads for online businesses.

Q: What is Click to Call?
RKM: A click to call service, like Easycallnow, is a web based click to call facility that allows website visitors to speak to customer service agents of a company, instantly. By just filling in their phone number and clicking a button, they can at once be connected to the appropriate agent.

Q: Why would a website visitor want to speak to any company’s customer service agent?
RKM: Most websites cannot answer all customer queries. For example, on a hotel or travel site, a user who wants to book a hotel room in another city may have a queries: on the location of the room (pool facing), price (are there any discounts for bulk bookings), facilities at hotel or cab service. If he does not get the answers immediately, he’ll move away to a competitor’s site. And, perhaps, will never revisit this site.

Q: What exactly does Impiger Technologies’ Easycallnow service do?
RKM: Easycallnow’s click to call service basically dials out both the visitor and customer service agent and connects them over phone. This enhances customer experience and boosts sales.

Q: Who can use this web based calling service?
RKM: Any business having a website and engaging customers online – travel sites, shopping and classified portals, online e-tailers, hotels, real estate agents, finance companies, small businesses and even home business owners.

Q: Does one use click to call only on websites?
RKM: Not really. It can be plugged into emails, newsletters, pdf downloads or banner advertising campaigns.

Q: Can you explain the benefits of easycallnow for online businesses?
RKM: It generates leads by capturing the name, city and phone numbers of the website visitors. The instant connectivity to website visitor means better conversions and sales. Cost of service is based on number of calls connected. With nil software or hardware requirements, it’s a boon to website owners to pump up sales.

Q: How easy is it to implement this on a website?
RKM: It’s a small piece of html code that needs to be pasted on site wherever one needs the Click to Call button. It’s customizable to the website theme.

Q: Is the call free for website visitors?
RKM: Yes. The business using the service pays for the calls their prospects or customers make from the website.

Q: How will businesses be charged for easycallnow?
