The app that I chose for the web 2.0 smackdown is called "Smore". This app allows its users to create flyers and newsletters and upload them directly to social media. In today's world social media dominates marketing so this app helps people who are not familiar with social media easily post on various social media sites. There is a free and paid version and the paid version allows for much more customizable options as well as the ability to create and email a lot more monthly newsletters. The app itself is geared towards educators but it is useful for any and every business. It is a great way to get the word around about various services and products, as well as let people know about special events. It also creates an opportunity for people who are otherwise not skilled in graphic design partake in creating their own flyers in a user friendly way. The website is easy to navigate and it provides templates as well as examples of sample flyers for people to work off of. There are also analytics data that tell the user various stats on how and when people viewed their flyers or newsletters. In the long run it saves time while also helping create quality content for viewers to look at.

ReplyDeleteDave, Smore seems like a really great application. I think this is something I have searched for in terms of clubs and such at school it is really a great way to get the information out there on a platform people will see. I think in terms of future career the analytics aspect is great because it can be used as a research platform in many ways. I think I would mostly use it for research when I got older, what do you think?
