Searching for information through a web browser on your laptop or PC is a quick and efficient experience, especially as Google tells you how few milliseconds it took to find the information you searched for. But, searching for information on your internet-enabled mobile phone can be a fiddly affair.
Nokia, however, have started a new service called ‘Point and Find’ which makes finding information about things you are interested in much easier. Using the camera on your phone, the ‘Point and Find’ software will display information about the item you have pointed at almost instantly without using your keypad to enter text into a mobile search engine. It’s a neat service and could revolutionise how we use our mobile phones.
‘Software as a Service’ or ‘cloud computing’ is taking off and it is especially useful for small businesses that need to minimise the amount of time spent on their IT while maximising the amount of time they spend selling. Services like ‘Google Docs & Spreadsheets’, ‘Zoho.com’ or Microsoft ‘Office Live’ are all useful tools which can save small business not only time but money.
Our New Business Director, Will Hawkins, recently appeared on BBC Radio Lincolnshire talking about both of these subjects. You can listen to the recording below.
