For the first time in the UK, users can have their favorite instagram picture printed and delivered to their door. iPrintagr.am recently released an iPhone app that is available in the UK, that is the only way to have an instagram image printed and delivered, and that is free at the App Store.

Users simply download the app, login with their instagram account information, select their favorite print and in just a matter of days the images will be printed and sent directly to the user’s door. It’s that simple! According to an iApp News UK reviewer, “this is by far the single coolest iPhone App that I have ever used with Instagram.” New users of the app certainly agree and have said of the app, “brilliant and innovative,” If you love instagram then download this!” and “Love this app!” iPrintagr.am is currently the only provider offering this service and this app is the only way to print an instagram image from the iPhone directly to a professional printer. Although only available currently in the UK, this service will soon make its way to many other countries.

For decades, groups of like-minded people have been coming together to discuss the latest novel or classic tome but times are changing. The Bullet Proof Wives are a group of military wives based in Lossiemouth, Scotland.

We realised we could utilise our unusual lifestyle by offering a reviewing and testing service to manufacturers and service providers. Our group comes together once a month to discuss the product or service we have tested, chat about the pros and cons and choose our ‘Bullet Proof Hero’ – product of the month. We also test products and services individually during the month.

Marketing; advertising; the way companies sell products – it’s developing all the time. Companies are using ‘fake’ families to promote products; subscription only stores are giving out items for people to test and review. We believe that we have the perfect life-style and dynamic to sell and increase awareness of products.

We live on married ‘patches’ where you not only know your neighbour; you socialise and rely on them. We share information, we talk about new things we have tried and services we have used. As a group we have lived in over 30 different places and over a dozen countries. We move house constantly and need products that can withstand that lifestyle.

We believe that our military testing panel is leading the way in product sales and marketing.

Notes for Editors
ï Our group includes an ex-lawyer and Apprentice candidate, a DJ, two teachers, a financial controller and a serving military officer. All bar one of the BPW have children – between the ages of 9 months and 7 years. ï Two of our group have extensive media experience and are happy to talk about anything military, product or blog related.

New research casts fresh light on how much Facebook really says about us.

Many recruiters want to know what really makes us tick by putting a magnifying glass to what we are up to on social networking sites. But new research by the Online Privacy Foundation has revealed just how well others can judge our personalities by looking us up on Facebook. While bosses should beware jumping to the wrong conclusions, we still could be revealing far too much about who we are to others.

The new research has raised a number of pressing questions for users, observers and online regulators. The results of a worldwide experiment show that if you tried to guess someone’s personality from their Facebook activity; you would often be wrong. This is particularly bad news for employers who screen job applicants by delving into their Facebook pages. Worryingly though, for both sides of a potential pay cheque, a 2011 survey by Jobsite shows that 74% of employers have reviewed the online profiles of job candidates, with 45% doing it on a regular basis.

The OPF research also alerts Facebook users to other dangers. The information we leave on Facebook, such as the type of words we use and the amount of photos we post, could reveal enough about our personalities to make us the target of unwanted criminal or other activity. The experiment shows that such information could give an online fraudster a slightly better chance of guessing how susceptible a person might be to their tactics. That’s very valuable to them. But for potential employers, where accuracy should be far more important, it begs a lot of questions about the acceptability of online screening of employees.

The OPF urges people to get online and consider all the great things social networking sites could do for them. But the evidence is growing that we need to think harder about how we best share personal information online. While research in this area is still in its infancy, the risks to individuals will only increase as unscrupulous agents hone their techniques in using information about social networking activity. Ordinary internet users are at risk of being left in the dark about the range of risks associated with their use of social networking sites. For now, the OPF urges Facebook users to think carefully about who can access their Facebook pages and to ensure they understand the privacy settings that currently apply to their account. Facebook safety tips can be found at https://www.facebook.com/safety.

The OPF carried out the ‘Big 5 experiment’ during 2011 and presented the final results at the world’s premier security conference, ‘The Black Hat Briefings’ in Abu Dhabi on 14 December 2011. The full report on the experiments results can be accessed via the OPF website at https://www.onlineprivacyfoundation.org/research/.

Volunteers in the experiment agreed for the OPF to take information about all aspects of their activity on their Facebook pages while they took an established personality test. Statistical analysis was then used to look at the strength of correlations between the results of the personality test and an individual’s Facebook activity. The final full report discusses the application of the research to employee screening, online fraud, and commercial and political marketing.

blueKiwi v10.6 : a simple, mobile and more personalised solution which facilitates faster adoption of enterprise social software

Reading, UK, 29 November, 2011 -

blueKiwi, the European leader in SaaS Enterprise Social Software (ESS), has announced the launch of version 10.6. With this new version, blueKiwi has sought to continue to innovate and offers a simple, more personalised, and mobile solution that is focused on improving user adoption. blueKiwi v10.6 is designed to increase the frequency of use, facilitating more interaction, more idea sharing and encouraging higher user engagement.

In an ever growing globalised economy, a company’s performance is based on its ability to quickly and effectively mobilise its expertise. Using a private social network increases a team’s efficiency, enables knowledge sharing, allows all team members to capitalise on an individual’s experience, and ensures that useful exchanges of information can be retained for future reference. blueKiwi v10.6 adds new functionalities that strengthen individual interactions, and eradicate problems such as email overdose. Highlights of the new capabilities include:

A personalised stream of information: that allows each user to choose the people and spaces that they wish to subscribe to. This is similar to the behaviour of social networks used by general consumers. It allows for a higher level of interaction while ensuring that the user focuses on what really matters to them ‘right now’ and does not fall victim to a massive flood of information.

A “wall” on all home spaces and profiles: in this version, blueKiwi opted to remove the aggregated display found on spaces and profiles. Now the stream of activity is the same no matter where you are. A homepage displays all of the recent exchanges conducted in that space. A profile homepage displays any recent conversations that the profile owner took part in. This approach provides a more concrete understanding of the user’s activities, their profile, contributions and skills.

An open network system: that allows each user to make their posts accessible to all members without being affiliated to a specific space. This system increases the possibility of breakthrough exchanges as well as collaboration between all actors in the company and within its ecosystem.

blueKiwi v10.6 also adds a new level of accessibility through soon to be launched native applications designed for the iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry devices, promoting anywhere access. These new mobile apps will allow users to benefit from blueKiwi’s functionalities whilst on the move. For example, users will be able to keep up with a conversation thread and even respond directly to it through their mobile device. They will also be to interact with contacts across the whole company, remotely. The existing mobile web browser interface has also been enhanced for all smartphones.

blueKiwi v10.6 is available online and is offered free of charge for existing clients. Mobile applications can be installed on iPhone, iPad and BlackBerry for all blueKiwi Productivity module clients.

Twitter is being used more and more for breaking news.

However those breaking the news have included journalists, and a number of those who have been posting on twitter before posting it on to the wires have been reprimanded.

One of the major news agencies has released a warning to staff after a number tweeted about arrests.

An email followed reminding staff of social media policies, this incident has highlighted once again the disruptive effect social media can have on traditional press.

Twitter has become popular for releasing news before anyone else but where it lacks is in reputation. Rumours can spread just as quickly as fact-filled news on the social media site.

Although Twitter has become a tool many press agencies use day-to-day, it has also forced newsrooms all over the world to set up strict guidelines.

Newsteam International has a dedicated and enthusiastic team of journalists, who all take social media policies very seriously. They cover the biggest stories as they happen, and have a wealth of experience when it comes to handling breaking news.

Social networking platforms can be a great low cost or even free marketing tool for small businesses.

Small business owners need to understand how to use this useful tool can be used to support a small businesses public relations strategy to sell their services or products.

Simply put, social media serves an organisation in two key ways: communication and entertainment.

Communication

PR is all about building and securing relationships – and this is all down to good communication.

Web tools and social media platforms can be great fro keeping your relationships alive.

Blogging, Twitter, social networks and video distribution are all great ways to keep two-way communication flowing between your business and your consumers.

Online activities such as these allow you to not only communicate but also educate and share important information quickly and to a potentially huge audience.

Entertainment

The reason social networking can do wonders as a PR tool is simple – because its entertaining and fun.

People naturally gravitate to where they fell they belong, where people listen to them and where they have fun.

Small businesses need to understand this and find out where there target markets are – these everyone is on Facebook… as well as Twitter, Linkedin and YouTube.

The great thing about social media is the ease with which a consumer can share information if it’s interesting or entertaining.

Click ‘like’ on facebook and all their friends can are included in the communication – widening your audience and gaining essential new potential customers.

What’s said on social media sites is no longer as important as in 2011, say Directors of Comms.

Comments on brands on sites such as Facebook and Twitter are no longer seen as important as it was last year, revealed the Ipsos Mori Reputation Council report 2011.

The report survived a council of comms directors for many industry giants including BP, Visa and Unilever. The results showed companies were less likely to assess social media every day than in 2010.

The survey suggests that organisations are airing on the side of caution when it comes to engagement through social sites

When asked how much their organisations engaged with stakeholders though social platforms, nearly half admitted not very much’ or ‘nothing’ was done to communicate online.

However just under half did state that their social media engagement strategies were in place.

Over half confessed that employees saw reputation management as ‘merely PR’.

And although reputation management was seen as a contributing factor to competitive performance, only half of the council thought reputation management should be ‘hard-wired’ into business management.

At Newsteam we understand the importance of reputation management, as well as the effect social media engagement can be for organisations large and small.

With over 20 years experience of being commissioned by local, national and international media, Newsteam uses it unique position at the heart of the media to advise and guide corporate clients to achieve their media objectives, across broadcast, print and online channels.

The media possesses the power to transform brands, lift companies, convey critical messages and reach important audiences. Importantly, news and feature media coverage achieves its reach in a way that typically holds more credibility, trust and greater influence with the end consumer.

Harnessing the power of the media requires intelligent strategic planning, a strong understanding and intimate connection to the key influencers within the network and an ability to execute plans to the highest standard. These are the skills and relationships that Newsteam uses for the benefit of its corporate clients.
