Web mashup

All of our media can be integrated into a simple mashup web page. Enabling different information and media to be pulled from various sources on the internet. This utilises all the best components from each service allowing information and interactions to be accessed from one source. Every business requires different integration of media services, design, implementation and management.

We can help advise you on what media services are best for you and how to effectively utilise them.

Social engineering

The new phenomena of these social media networks has illustrated just how important a communication tool they are. Sharing information and media through these networks is now common place between individuals and businesses. Social networking is incredibly effecive for sharing information, for communicating messages, targeting specific groups and for qualifying information research. This new channel for all types of communication is happening here and now and is here to stay.

Social management

Different social media platforms produce different benefits. We determine the end product and use the right technologies for each project. The platforms we are currently integrating include Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn, YouTube and Twitter. We also integrate social bookmarking platforms such as Delicious. Understanding the role of each social media technology is critical. Only then can the integration be addressed.

As an example, using YouTube for videos and Flickr for photos is the best use of these technologies. However this is a continuous evolution and new tools will emerge.

Blogs

Blogs are an integral part of today's Internet. They are generally used as posts for information, news and views by individuals, groups and organisations. It is estimated that there are currently over 400 million active bloggers worldwide. Most blogs fall into specific categories and will have posts containing a mixture of text, images, music and video.

We have the expertise and experience to give you 'the power of blogging'. We can decide with you whether to have your own fully working blogging site or, on a smaller scale, have a profile on a well known blog service.

Forums

Forums are an online messaging / bulletin board where registered users can post information and comments relating to specific topics. It enables discussion between users(these are known as threads). Forums are a great way to gauge opinions from people where there is freedom to say and discuss what ever they want. Administrators and moderators ensure that the posts from users within the threads stay within the rules of the forum. They also administer the Forum policies etc.

Surveys

Online surveys are a technology driven process to get instant opinion and feedback from users. Completed results from the surveys can be automatically shown as statistics in charts and graphs. Survey technology is completely measurable and can be included within web pages and blogs.

Pod & Video casts

Podcasts & Videocasts (aka Vodcasts) can be used as a medium to relay news etc via audio or video. Both Podcasts & Vodcasts allow subscription through programs such as Itunes (or other feed readers) which will then automatically download the latest casts to their computer for them to listen / watch. Often people will take this away with them on an MP3 player or an Ipod so that they can listen/watch on the move. This can be a great way to transmit regular news & updates without people having to read masses of text.
