Intel has put together a pretty cool dynamic infographic that uses you as the source of its information. You sign in with Facebook and optionally Twitter and YouTube, and it puts together a graphic showing you some interesting statistics about your existence on the social web.
Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews. 
“Social Media in the Workplace” [infographic] is an amusing read, like the Mouse Trap ride at The Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. Follow the graphics as it winds around to the end offering some very sound advice before you jump off.
The film will be shown as a series of short videos. They will offer clues concerning the events that led to her imprisonment. The story line is based on the input from the audience by the various social networking sites. Christina calls upon her social networking friends to unravel the mystery of where she is being kept prisoner and how can she escape.
Imagine, for a moment, stepping foot in your favorite art museum and entering an exhibit that is entirely about you—your friends, your pictures, your favorite words and phrases. Intriguing, right? Well Intel has made the prospects of an art exhibit all about you a reality with their ‘Museum of Me’ campaign.
At the recent AppUp event in San Francisco I had a chance to checkout the Intel AppUp store at their booth. Most of you probably have never heard of AppUp, but it was launched in September of 2010 and currently has a selection of over 3,500 apps. That app selection seems almost laughable compared to 134k+ apps on the Android store and 121+ apps on the iTunes store, but Intel seems to be optimistic (not like they have a choice not to) that they will get some traction in 2011.
Currently their Windows store is up in running, and some blockbuster mobile titles such as Angry Birds are available for purchase. In fact AppUp is the only way to play Angry Birds on your PC. Unfortunately there are no numbers available with regards to the size of App Up’s user base, so it is still a high risk choice for developers unless they already have an existing title which they’d like to port over to AppUp, which supports C, C++, .net, Java & Unity. Intel tries to assist developers with porting their games to AppUp by working with their preferred porting providers, as well as offering to cover porting costs for certain developers.
Intel is heavily betting on the rise of touch screen netbooks, laptops and monitors that are being released, such as the Lenovo IdeaPad s10-3t (netbook). The s10-3t is basically a hybrid between a tablet and a laptop. It comes with a rotatable screen that you can flip over and turn into a tablet, then flip back over and open to use its built in keyboard as you would on any normal netbook/laptop. So for those of us who would like a portable touch screen productivity tool, the new wave of netbooks may be the best choice.
Until Intel releases their numbers for AppUp and provides some serious incentives for developers to come on board, I predict that it will be very difficult for them to gain significant traction.

Intel is launching its own app store to compete with Apple and Android. Intel powered devices will start shipping with Intel’s app store pre-installed on them in early 2011. Intel’s approach to apps is innovative. Consumer electronics retailers and manufacturers will both get a big cut of Intel’s app store revenue. Further, Intel app stores are white label – so consumers will see “Best Buy App Store – Powered by Intel AppUp”. Intel could be biggest trend in app markets in 2011.
Amidst the frenzy in the ongoing CES event at Las Vegas which are dominated primarily by consumer electronics companies, MySpace was able to get some mileage thanks to its partnership with Intel, Yahoo and Toshiba.
