Did you know that social networks or blogs are visited by two thirds (67%) of the global online population making it the fourth most popular online category? I recently came across a few interesting facts on a recent Neilson Report and was amazed to see these figures related to social media’s rapid growth rate.

This undeniable popularity of social media has benefited both giant corporations and small businesses over the past few years. It has also led many websites to integrate various social widgets and facebook style bars to attract more visitors. The installation part comes in handy; it is the handeling of so many widgets that becomes cumbersome.

Realizing this need, BumpIn has recently introduced a facebook style bar with the aim of linking a reader/visitor to various social networks via a single toolbar installation. BumpIn SocialBar sits at the bottom of a website enabling the best integration with facebook connect, twitter connect and all major IM and Social networks. Visitors can discover each other in real time and discuss/share content of a website with their friends. This facebook style bar allows a website to become more sticky and interactive leading to increased page views plus visitor traffic.

BumpIn SocialBar is totally free, easy to install and user freindly. It does not mess up with the CSS, aesthetics and loading time of a websites. Click on the link given below to install an amazing facebook style bar and have a great BumpIn experience.

Bumpin among sellers and buyers

jazib — Sun, 02 Nov 2008 16:16:19 +0000

Bumpin's popularity as a live chat widget on heavily trafficked websites continues. The latest site to integrate Bumpin into its pages is here. The site facilitates buying, selling and exchanging of everything from Xbox games to Nokia cell phones. Glancing at the Bumpin window, you'll find dozens of people looking for tips on good purchases or indulging in spontaneous barters. No need to wait for a person to respond on a static message board. Responses trickle in right away and a critical mass of users means that someone out there will be able to help you. And if not, you can just engage in some friendly banter with other visitors.

Incorporating Bumpin into websites

jazib — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:02:45 +0000

I'm pleased to report that Bumpin has been integrated as a widget into a respected business and technology blog, Green & White. Towards the right side of the page, you'll see the familiar Bumpin logo allowing you to broadcast messages to other readers of the blog.

It means you're no longer alone while reading about venture capital opportunities and critiques of the latest internet startups. You can see how many other people are reading the same articles and being vocal about their views. If you're lucky, you may find someone just as passionate about technology as yourself and that's another venture in the making.

Bumpin to Football

jazib — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 06:12:28 +0000

Football/Soccer is obviously a big deal all over the world. There's something about the act of 22 men tackling each other in pursuit of a chequered sphere that brings out the passions in all of us. No surprise then that there are social networking sites entirely devoted to the game. I came across one here.

Standard idea: let people customize fan pages which serve as shrines to their footie heroes, allow them to discuss and flame on themed forums. It's MySpace for footie lovers basically. Most of the same features, just always revolving around football.

Bumpin is a nice alternative to a network devoted solely to one hobby. It allows you to find the like-minded and engage in interactive bickering with them on the mascot for the 2010 World Cup is any good or not. It saves you from the longer ordeal of setting up a profile on a brand new networking site, since you obviously have many other hobbies to cater to and Bumpin lets you skip from one to another with ease.

Bumpin to Online Parties

jazib — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 12:49:04 +0000

We're all excited about a new initiative. We now have a critical mass of Bumpin devotees and we'd like to arrange some online events to help them all bump into each other.

That means we'll be announcing dates, time and events where all of you can log in through Bumpin and start mingling. The events could be watching sports games, engaging in political discussions or analyzing the latest movie. We'll be judging what most of you are interested in and planning events accordingly. Feel free to send in your suggestions!

The best part about Bumpin based gatherings? Plenty of people to hang out with in cyberspace at any time of day without worrying about setting or cleaning up. Just you sitting casually at home bumping into other cool people at your convenience.

Bumpin to Political Protests

jazib — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 07:15:22 +0000

Reading about people around the world protesting against the U.S. handling of the Afia Siddiqui case, I'm amazed how the power of the Internet allows people to organize protests of such scales. Concerned parties have congregated wherever possible to peacefully protest against what is being seen as an unfair trial tearing away an innocent woman from her children for years on end.

Bumpin could be a powerful tool in the hands of such committed people. It would be perfect to connect with other people who want their voice heard. Best of all, it would allow people around the world to share ideas on how to protest, how much of a difference they are making and what they should do next. Web 2.0 is all about people power and Bumpin only makes the links between people stronger.
