“Hug” or “Punch” your friends on Picxter – the new social network

Posted on March 28, 2014 by

pixterpageI have always wanted a ‘Dislike’ button on Facebook & also an Image rating system on Twitter or Instagram. I am sure that many people would love these kinds of features. There is a new kid in the pool of social network called ‘Picxter’. The name might sound like a photo sharing Site but it’s a full fledge social network on the lines of Facebook & Twitter.

There are many things or many features which makes Picxter a unique social network. It has a ‘Hugs’ feature for someone you might like or ‘Punches’ for whom you don’t. For Images, the user can give a Star rating. For the analytics head, this site has Profile Views, Post Views & many such tools. These features are definitely unique & NOT available in your favorite social networks like Facebook or Twitter.

Picxter has another out-of-the-box feature called ‘The World’ (another unusual name). When the user posts something in ‘The World’, the post goes public & can be viewed by anyone & anywhere from the world. Similarly, anyone can post here let the world know who you are & what you do. This seems to be a faster way to get connected to other users from all over.

The Site is developed by the 18-year-old Lucknow, India based Qaiser Malik who is currently a student. Qaiser plans to include chat options & some cool games to Picxter soon. The main moto of Picxter is to provide easy & fast social connectivity from anywhere to anyone & on any platform.

You just need to be 11 years old to use Picxter.

Marketers: Here is Tactics Cloud, a new marketing tool for Twitter

Posted on March 6, 2014 by

Tactics Cloud is a social media insight tool developed by Affino Inc. based in Halifax, Canada. To put it in simple words,Tactics Cloud manages the Big Data on social media & returns relevant search results for marketing & sales purpose.

For example, if a designer is looking to market his product to other designers in New York, he will simple create a search on Tactics Cloud for ‘Designers in New York’. This Twitter marketing tool will then generate a list of valid users on Twitter who have ‘Designer’ mentioned in their bios. Later, the user can filter & export this list which can be used for target marketing & sales.

In turn, the user gets to preset his/her work to the selected target groups searched via the new Twitter marketing tool & also get potential followers, too. This saves a lot of time for a brand or a company looking for customers on Twitter. Private lists can be exported for later use. Tactics Cloud scans through billions of strands of publicly available social & business data to help identify individuals & groups with common skills, interests, & relationships. Tactics Cloud focuses on social network connections to provide what it believes are insights.

Tactics Cloud was founded in 2013 by Tim Burke & Stephen Hankinson, & is developing since. The beta testing began in November & they are planning to launch it in early 2014. Affinio Inc., announced US $1.5 million seed funding round led by Build Ventures. The company has already started accepting applications from small & medium-sized businesses for trailing purpose.
