HootSuite Adds Social Network Team Collaboration Tools - Ideal for Agencies, Enterprises, Consultants and Marketing Groups

(PRWEB) April 12, 2010

HootSuite Media Inc. released Team Collaboration tools in a new version of the popular social media dashboard. Specifically designed for group coordination, teams can now better manage message publishing and conversation monitoring across multiple social networks.

Best known as a web and mobile-based tool for managing Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other social networks, HootSuite continues to respond to organizations who use the dashboard for customer relationship management and support desks applications, in addition to social media promotional campaigns.

This fundamental advancement will enable enterprises, agencies, content publishers, and consultants to work with clients and colleagues seamlessly, without sacrificing control over confidential account info or compromising message timeliness.

Power of Collaboration

From day one, HootSuite was built with teamwork in mind by offering a solution for managing multiple accounts with numerous contributors. Over the past year, HootSuite added more social networks and additional ways to share access with teams. This new release was developed to better control communication channels by designating “Owners” and “Team Members” to each social network account.

Owners and Teammates

Each social network account now requires an Owner who “holds the keys” to that account (note: this Owner is chosen the next time the user logs in). This Owner can then add Team Members with Basic or Advanced access. Ownership is easily transferred to a client or other Team Member as roles change.

Teams Members are up and running quickly with columns for brand monitoring, keyword searches, list following and more — allowing Teams to concentrate on tracking conversations, spreading messages, and monitoring what works with on-board statistics.

Once assigned to a social network, Team Members can post messages, create additional views and columns, and interact with the details of social networks. Plus, Team Members can add ad hoc social accounts for external teams or personal use, and create their own Teams, all without setting up a separate HootSuite account.

Talk to Everyone

Team Members can also add RSS feeds allowing a auto-updates to social networks whenever a blog, photostream, or other news feed is updated. Users can select a publishing interval, destination social network, and even pre-pend the updates with custom messaging.

Another tool to assist group communication is the “Reply to All” feature. A single click will pre-populate a message with all recipients of the original message without requiring copy-and-pasting or memorizing Twitter handles. This highly-requested feature offers another way to participate in the social conversation while saving keystrokes and time.

Release Resources

To share the benefits of the new release, HootSuite:

Bellingham Web Design Company Adds New Services to its Web Site Offerings

Bellingham, WA (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

Bellingham Web Design company HappyChap Media is proud to announce two new services to its web design offerings. They will now provide customers with a customized tutorial video detailing how to update all necessary aspects of the website, as well as provide a physical backup of all website files and databases. Beside web design, HappyChap offers services including graphic design, content writing, social media management and more.

A lot of hosting companies offer automatic daily backup plans, but what happens if their hard drives are destroyed or hacked?” asks co-founder Aaron Apple. “The best back-up plan is always a hard copy of every file and database associated with a website, in the hands of that websites owner.

HappyChap Media specializes in building unique websites that put control into the customers hands. Since WordPress, the content management system utilized by HappyChap Media, essentially makes managing a site as simple as writing an email, their clients are able to make future changes and updates without needing a technical experts help.

In these tough economic times, the businesses that can adapt the quickest to new technologies will be the ones who succeed,” said co-founder Noel Abbott. “What were doing is giving our clients a head-start on that process.

In short, HappyChap will build the client’s site, complete with a unique layout and graphic appeal to suit the organization or individual’s needs, and then the client will be able to take the reins and manage the simple updates on their own, now with the help of a customized tutorial video.

About HappyChap Media:

The company was started in late 2010 by three friends in Bellingham, WA, to offer high-performance, affordable websites to small business owners. Bringing together a unique mix of marketing, technical, and artistic expertise, HappyChap was founded with the belief that business owners and organizations should be able to manage and run their own websites. To teach their clients basic website management tasks, HappyChap offers both in-person training sessions as well as custom video tutorials to explain the process.

MailChimp Adds Billing in International Currencies

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 20, 2011

MailChimp announced today support for billing in British Pounds and Euro, providing greater transparency and lower transaction fees for MailChimp subscribers living outside the United States. Reflecting the growing international customer base, MailChimp looks to add additional currency support in the coming months.

The new billing solution provided by Chase Paymentech allows MailChimp to bill customers in foreign currencies at the time of the actual transaction. Previously foreign card holders would be billed in US dollars and would see a conversion rate in their monthly statement as well as a service charge of the conversion from US dollars. When a subscriber activates billing in British Pound or Euros the actual conversion rate is set at the time of the billing and the subscriber will see a charge in their local currency without a conversion service charge.

To provide the best conversion rates to subscribers, MailChimp makes the conversion from US dollars to British Pounds or Euros at the time of the transaction, rather than setting a fixed price in the other currencies. In this way subscribers will get the best conversion rate available at that point in time. Rather than seeing a fixed billing amount each month, the actual billable amount in British Pounds and Euros will vary slightly each month based on the actual exchange rate available at the time of billing.

Currently 45% of MailChimps subscribers on paid plans live outside the United States. The British Pound/Euro zone represents 28% of MailChimp subscribers.

Coverys Adds Two New Members to Board of Directors

Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 07, 2012

Coverys, a leading provider of medical professional liability insurance, is pleased to announce the addition of Michael B. Driscoll and James J. Moran Jr., Esq. to its Board of Directors. Mr. Driscoll and Mr. Moran were officially elected during the companys annual meeting yesterday. They join a board composed of practicing healthcare providers and other area professionals concerned with the needs of the healthcare community.

Michael Driscoll and James Moran each bring a unique and important perspective to the Board of Directors, said Kenneth A. Heisler, M.D., FACS, chairman of the Board of Directors for Coverys. Mr. Driscolls agency expertise, most particularly in the arena of professional liability, will be instrumental in maintaining and enhancing communication with our many constituencies; likewise, Mr. Morans depth of insurance leadership experience will be a superb asset to the company as we continually work to develop new products in an evolving healthcare landscape. I speak for the entire Board when I say we are thrilled to have them join us.

Mr. Driscoll is the president of MD Insurance Services, Inc., which operates as Crosbie-Macdonald Insurance, which was established in 1910. In this role he oversees administration and sales for the agency, which specializes in medical professional liability insurance. Prior to joining Crosbie-Macdonald Insurance in 1984, he served as an insurance broker for both Rush-Kent Insurance and Bowhers Agency, and also held various sales positions. Mr. Driscoll received a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Boston University and is a certified Licensed Insurance Advisor. He is a member of the Massachusetts Association of Insurance Agents, the South Shore Independent Insurance Agents Association and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Joining the Coverys Board is an honor for me, said Mr. Driscoll. It is an opportunity to assist Coverys in adapting to the dynamics in the healthcare delivery system, as shifting government regulations require higher quality medicine to be delivered at a lower cost. Anticipating the effect of these changes, and developing ideas and products to better serve healthcare providers, will be both challenging and rewarding.

Mr. Moran is the senior vice president, secretary and general counsel of Quincy Mutual Fire Insurance Company and New England Mutual Insurance Company. Mr. Moran joined Quincy Mutual Group in 2001 after serving as president for Eastern Casualty Insurance Group for three years. He previously practiced insurance law for 20 years, most recently as a senior partner of Morrison, Mahoney LLP. Mr. Morans law practice concentrated on the representation of insurance companies and agents on corporate, claims, regulatory and legislative matters. Mr. Moran was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar in 1978, following graduation from Boston College Law School and Boston College. He is also a Chartered Property-Casualty Underwriter (CPCU) and Associate in Reinsurance (ARe). He currently is chairman of the Board of the Massachusetts Insurers Insolvency Fund, and a director of the Massachusetts Insurance Federation and the South Shore Chamber of Commerce.

Mr. Moran said, I am pleased to join the Coverys Board of Directors. I look forward to helping the company and its policyholders navigate reforms in healthcare delivery and am hopeful that my experience will be valuable in supporting Coverys vision of protecting the healthcare community.

LetsHost.ie Adds High Quality, Affordable Windows Hosting to Its Suite of Services

GraphicDesign.com Adds Denise Bosler, Sheana Firth as Featured Writers

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) August 07, 2012

There are two new faces on the GraphicDesign.com writing team, Denise Bosler and Sheana Firth. Each brings a completely different perspective to the table, ensuring that readers of GraphicDesign.com will have a well-rounded perspective on the industry.

Bosler is a professor by trade and teaches Communication Design at Kutztown University in Pennsylvania. She is published, having released “Mastering Type: The Essential Guide to Typography for Print and Web Design.” The newest GraphicDesign.com featured writer focuses on print collateral, product packaging, and identity developments in both print and digital projects. She’s the brains behind MasteringType.com.

Also brand new to the GraphicDesign.com content family is Firth, who authored a recent feature article on the site examining the complications of working from home (Home Office Not Homework). Firth is the owner of Tennessee-based Breakaway Graphics, LLC and has over eight years of relevant design experience. According to a bio posted on GraphicDesign.com, “She is devoted to continuing to learn and adjust to the ever-changing field of design and provide innovative creative design solutions for her clients.”

In other content news from GraphicDesign.com, Christine Medley recently contributed a feature article about whether and how aspiring designers should build an online portfolio. At the end of the piece, readers were asked three questions, including “Which site do you use for your online portfolio?” The overwhelming favorite among GraphicDesign.com readers in that department was Wix, which received 26% of the vote.

The second most used site to build an online portfolio was Behance, which received 20%. Other nods went to included WordPress (11%), Hosted (10%), Tumblr (5%), Cargo Collective (5%), Squarespace (5%), and Carbonmade (2%).

Readers of Medley’s article were also asked whether they felt a graphic designer should build an online portfolio from the ground up using a program like Dreamweaver, as opposed to taking advantage of a packaged content management system like WordPress. Respondents overwhelmingly voted against graphic designers starting from scratch, as 68% responded “No,” while only 32% responded “Yes.”

Finally, the GraphicDesign.com community was split on whether readers had published more than one online portfolio. A total of 54% of respondents said they did not have multiple portfolios, while 46% said they did. No matter how many portfolios designers have created, or what programs they’ve used to do so, Medley stressed the importance of paying attention to content, functionality, and design.

GraphicDesign.com engages its community each week via feature articles that include poll questions. This week’s article, written by Firth, poses three questions at its conclusion and voting will remain open until August 12. Visit GraphicDesign.com today for more details.
