HootSuite Acquires Android Developer Swift App to Speed Development for Google"s Open Mobile Platform

(PRWEB) March 12, 2010

HootSuite Media, Inc. have acquired Swift App, Inc. a company specializing in Android App development, notably their flagship product “Swift App,” a Twitter client for Android. The acquisition means quicker development for the growing Android market and is a show of support for the emerging mobile platform. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The HootSuite for Android app allows users to update multiple Twitter profiles, perform realtime search, track keywords and examine click-through statistics for messages directly from the phone. Future plans for the Android app include Facebook integration and other tools to benefit marketers, consultants, collaborative teams from businesses to governments.

The Android open source mobile platform is now available on handsets from a variety of manufacturers members of the Open Handset Alliance who have produced phones such as the Motorola Droid or Google’s own Nexus One manufactured by HTC. The software is open source under an Apache license meaning that vendors can add proprietary extensions without submitting those back to the open source community.

HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes is enthusiastic about the growth potential for Android in the marketplace, “Android development is a key component to our business strategy and we are excited about the revolution in the mobile industry catalyzed by the Open Handset Alliance. With tens of thousands of phone shipping daily from dozens of manufacturers, we see no end in sight for this open standard. “

The acquisition sees Swift App developer Sebastian Delmont joining HootSuite as a mobile adviser. Delmont says, “I am delighted to see HootSuite coming to Android, merging their amazing social media platform into the fastest Android Twitter client to produce one of the best mobile Twitter experiences.”

HootSuite released a version of the social media dashboard for Android on March 2, 2010 based on the foundation developed by Swift App. The app is available in Lite (free) or Full (paid) versions from the Android Market and received favorable coverage from many notable tech news sources including Mashable, TechCrunch, GigaOm, Leo Laporte, Robert Scoble, and ReadWriteWeb, along with dozens more news outlets.

SOKULE Provides a Powerful Social Media Platform for Serious Business Exposure

New York City (PRWEB) April 18, 2010

SOKULE.com, a new social media network, offers small businesses a forum that allows them to save time while marketing their brands using the popularity of social media marketing. Business owners who are committed to utilizing a smart, profitable, and streamlined social media platform are now turning to SOKULE to help them quickly meet their online marketing needs.

SOKULE is a uniquely designed social media platform that operates in a similar fashion to Twitter, but includes additional features that streamline the process of social media marketing for small businesses.

Members of Sokule.com have the opportunity to “squeek” messages of up to 500 characters through Sokule.com, while simultaneously posting the same message to 38 additional social media profiles as Facebook, Myspace and Twitter, while also pinging blog sites like WordPress and Blogger with just 1 click.

This multi posting and pinging process ultimately provides better marketing exposure, because the messages will get indexed by search engines much more quickly than if a business owner were to update each site individually.

The primary goal of SOKULE founder Jane Mark and developer Phil Basten was to create a profile for small business owners that worked in the same way as other popular social media platforms.

Part of what can make running an e-commerce website difficult is the task of getting the message seen and heard by others online, especially in the beginning stages.

SOKULE makes this process simple and easy by alerting various blogs and social media sites in a manner that causes search engines to take notice of posts that originate from SOKULE.

This, in turn, offers fast and widespread exposure and faster search engine indexing for those who need traffic to their websites in order to get their businesses up and running.

SOKULE has also pioneered a mobile platform that allows members to post updates and send out messages while they are on the go and away from the office.

However, the main difference between SOKULE and traditional social media sites is that business owners can profit from using SOKULE to promote their own individual brands and products.

Though a base membership at SOKULE is free, another factor that makes SOKULE special is the ability for SOKULE upgraded members to earn commissions each time they refer a new upgraded member to the service.

Developer Phil Basten says that “This is the perfect membership for a business or individual who is really serious about using social networking to dominate their industry.”

Mojo Supreme Relaunches on New Platform, Makes WatchMojo.com"s 4,000 Original, Proprietary Video Clips Fully Embeddable on All Sites

Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) August 23, 2007

It was a matter of time, really. Eighteen months after launching with five original video clips on January 23, 2006, http://www.WatchMojo.com relaunched this week on a new design, user interface and content management system. Today, the site boasts 4,000 original video clips and its syndication network reaches over 95% of the Web’s video viewing audiences.

In addition to improving the user experience and implementing a more robust content management system (CMS), the relaunch accelerates WatchMojo.com’s viral marketing and distribution efforts considerably.

A unit of Mojo Supreme, WatchMojo.com is one of the biggest producers, publishers and syndicators of video content — with video clips ranging from 1 to 3 minutes — on topics such as Automotive, Business, Comedy, Education, Fashion, Film, Food, Lifestyle, Health, Music, Parenting, Politics, Space & Science, Sports, Technology, Travel and Video Games.

Mojo Supreme is a digital media, technology and services company that indexes, aggregates and produces content in the form of videos, Top 10 lists, contests, blog entries and search results (under the MetaMojo.com brand).

The relaunched site is powered by the Typo3 CMS and for its new video platform, WatchMojo.com partnered up with Blip.tv, a video sharing site that has won critical acclaim in the episodic content niche of web video to provide its users with the ability to share videos online. Blip.tv is essentially a next-generation television network aimed at providing services for the top independent content creators on the Web. In addition to its public services at Blip.tv, the company also offers private label technology solutions for traditional media companies who want to integrate its network’s content into their existing platforms. Customers include Turner Broadcasting and Conde Nast.

“Blip.tv has provided content creators with a world-class technology platform and infrastructure, it has also been on the cutting edge of online marketing tools and products that allow a producer’s content to be published and distributed seamlessly throughout the various outlets that make video content visible online,” explains Mojo Supreme president Ashkan Karbasfrooshan.

“WatchMojo.com is an amazing example of how far video content on the Web has evolved: it’s eclectic, it’s professional, it’s advertiser-friendly and it’s terrifically entertaining,” states http://www.Blip.tv COO Dina Kaplan.

WatchMojo.com has leveraged its free and high-quality programming to build one of the largest syndication networks of any online or offline video content company with relationships with YouTube, Joost, Blinkx, Roo Media, GoFish, Canoe, MySpace, Yahoo! Video, AOL Videos, Voxant’s TheNewsRoom, Azureus’ Vuze, Revver, Veoh, LiveVideo, Critical Mention’s Clip Syndicate and many more, reaching well over 95% of the world wide web’s video watching audience.

“Corporate partnerships are one thing; we needed to ensure that our users could publish our content where they wanted to, after all, consumers account for 2/3 of activity in the American economy,” jokes Karbasfrooshan. Until this relaunch, WatchMojo.com did not provide users with the ability to copy and embed its videos on other sites, be it personal blogs, news or media sites.

“While YouTube popularized the sharing and embedding features that are commonplace today, the fact of the matter is that these features remain popular with file sharing services that don’t own the underlying rights, such as YouTube, Veoh, Revver, DailyMotion, Break and others. Most content owners are still not very comfortable with making their content available on any site,” adds Karbasfrooshan.

Indeed, CBS precludes embedding to selected sites, NBC/News Corp.’s joint venture plans to make its content embeddable, but the site itself has yet to launch, so it remains to be seen to what extent users can run with the content and put it where they wish.

“When we launched in January 2006, we were uncertain of what route we’d take to grow and finance the company. YouTube had yet to make the embedding feature a no-brainer. We were unsure of how media companies and VCs would react if we opened up our content to allow for embedding … so we played it safe initially and disabled the option.

“Throughout 2006, we built one of the more eclectic, timeless and advertiser-friendly libraries of web video content around. In 2007, we ramped-up our syndication business by partnering up with some of the leading consumer distribution properties online who allow embedding. At that point, it simply became illogical to allow video embedding off of our distribution partner sites and not our own site,” concedes Karbasfrooshan, stating that, “we’ve built an insurmountable lead in video production; this move just makes our high-quality, informative and entertaining content more ubiquitous online and creates more viral marketing opportunities.”

In addition to Blip.tv, Mojo Supreme has partnered with other best of breed partners in its relaunch: its CMS is built on the industry-leading open source Typo3 software and the BloggerMojo.com blog network — consisting of 18 blogs — will continue to be powered by WordPress.

Additional features include:

Mojo Supreme’s complete database of content is now tagged to create a far better and easier user navigation experience.
Users can now bookmark content to social bookmarking services Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Delicio.us, Slashdot.org, Furl, Fark, NewsVine, Blogmarks and many more.
WatchMojo.com’s video player size has increased from the 340×190 size to 480×270 but remains in the widescreen, anamorphic 16×9 format. Last week it was rumoured that industry leader YouTube would be adopting this format, too.
Cross publishing of all content on Mojo Supreme on all content pages.
Feedburner’s services are now implemented across all blogs.

“We’re applying the upside of social media to proprietary content to create a compelling service to users and advertisers,” concludes Karbasfrooshan.

As the company continues to publish for the Web and build up its Internet syndication network, it has also begun to syndicate its content in the high-growth out-of-home digital network market and signed some deals to push its content onto television, which at $ 75B is a far larger advertising market than the web video advertising sector. Estimates for online video advertising market by 2011 have ranged anywhere from $ 4.3B according to eMarketer to $ 10B by Understanding & Solutions.

About WatchMojo.com

WatchMojo.com is one of the largest producers, publishers and syndicators of web video on the web, and has begun to extend its distribution in the wireless, out-of-home digital network and television markets. It is the Web TV unit of Mojo Supreme, a privately held, self-funded digital media, technology and services company launched in 2006.

Beta Testing Begins on a New Cloud Web Hosting Platform

(PRWEB) November 17, 2010

Hybrid Logic Ltd, a United Kingdom-based company today announced the commencement of the first round of beta testing of their PaaS (platform-as-a-service) software product, Hybrid Web Cluster in partnership with CloudSigma AG of Zurich, Switzerland.

Hybrid Web Cluster is a cloud web hosting platform designed to run over any number of real physical servers, cloud server instances or a combination of the two. Due to recent advances in file system technology (ZFS) in combination with advances made by the software developers at Hybrid Logic Ltd; it is now possible to offer standard LAMP web hosting with a revolutionary level of redundancy, fault tolerance and scalability, at a price compatible with the commodity web hosting market.

ZFS is one of the key pieces of technology that enables Hybrid Web Cluster to offer near-instant data replication. This means that if any one of the nodes in your cluster goes down, some other nodes will always have a copy of every website hosted on the failed server no more than a few seconds old. The web cluster will automatically and instantly reorganise itself so that your websites never experience downtime a failed server results in a slightly slow page load for a few seconds rather than hours of downtime.

Because ZFS support is crucial to the implementation of Hybrid Web Cluster, a cloud infrastructure provider willing to support the latest version of FreeBSD was essential – ZFS support is also available in Linux and Solaris, but both options have significant drawbacks; Solaris is too far from Linux to feel comfortable for most users, and Linux’s ZFS support is currently too slow to be usable in a production environment. It was therefore essential to find a suitable cloud infrastructure provider who would support the latest version of FreeBSD The CloudSigma product with its support for FreeBSD 8.1 and ZFS provided the ideal infrastructure choice for Hybrid Web Cluster, and after talking to the friendly team at CloudSigma, a partnership agreement was reached which sees CloudSigma sponsoring the Hybrid Web Cluster beta testing programme.

Patrick Baillie CEO of CloudSigma commented Hybrid Web Cluster is an exciting product and use of our cloud. It provides the potential to generate an additional revenue stream from our existing infrastructure investment. We see this product expanding our customer base by offering a more managed approach from our core offering. The white label support and sophisticated integrated billing and accounting system gives us the flexibility we require.

Today the first round of beta testing began; 15 clusters have been provisioned and the first beta testers have each received login credentials for their very own test web cluster. Beta testers have full administrative control over their own cluster running on CloudSigma’s infrastructure – it is possible to set up real websites (including WordPress blogs), watch a live graphical visualisation of the load balancing and replication algorithms at work, pull the plug on a server and watch how the sites that are hosted on it stay live, it is also possible to generate load on individual websites and watch how the cluster’s load balancing algorithms respond. Beta testers can also explore our next-generation web hosting control panel which includes advanced ticketing and billing systems, automated domain registration, white label support and full internationalization.

If you would like to learn more about Hybrid Web Cluster, watch video demonstrations, or sign up for the next round of beta testing to try out your own web cluster, please visit hybrid-cluster.com.

About Hybrid Web Cluster

Hybrid Web Cluster is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) software product developed by Hybrid Logic Ltd, a company based in London, United Kingdom. The software provides commodity LAMP web hosting in a distributed and fault-tolerant manner across a cluster of servers. You can run a web cluster across multiple physical locations, using a mix of virtualised cloud infrastructure and physical hardware to build a true Hybrid Cloud.

Certified Hosting Announces Deployment of CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack Across Shared Hosting Platform for Maximum Uptime and Stability


Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 28, 2011

Certified Hosting, a leading shared, reseller, and dedicated server hosting company, announced today major improvements in uptime and stability across the companys shared hosting platform by moving to advanced, innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technologies. New and existing Certified Hosting customers using unlimited shared hosting plans will appreciate the increased stability, performance, and availability of their websites thanks to the move.

The reason for the move is to provide an even more stable environment for Certified Hosting customers using our shared hosting services, says Kacy Carlsen, Certified Hosting co-founder and CEO. With innovative technology like CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack in place, customers using Certified Hosting unlimited hosting plans will definitely enjoy better uptime and performance of their websites and improved quality of service from the Certified Hosting support team.

Regardless of how great any web hosting providers uptime is, there is still downtime every now and then caused by two different factors. While Certified Hosting has a guaranteed 99.9% uptime for customers on all shared hosting plans, occasional downtime, albeit short, has been inevitable due to the shortcomings of previous shared hosting platform technology and server reboots as a result of Linux OS kernel patching. In the past, all shared web hosting providers and their customers had to put up with these two issues as there was no way to fix these prevailing issues.

To combat these two factors and make our uptime even better, Certified Hosting chose the latest innovative CloudLinux OS and Ksplice Uptrack technology for all our shared web hosting servers, says Carlsen. When combined, these two great and innovative technologies allow running shared servers almost without any reboots resulting in nearly zero downtime for shared hosting customers websites. Each technology is aimed at combating one of the two major factors causing downtime on a shared hosting platform.

CloudLinux is an innovative server operating system (OS) that has been designed specifically for shared hosting environments as an alternative to conventional operating systems like CentOS and RHEL. CloudLinux OS features website account isolation on an OS level, which is similar to VPS hosting and results in a more stable shared hosting solution platform. Deploying CloudLinux OS allows Certified Hosting to ensure resource spikes caused by a customers website do not take down the entire server. Each customer will be assigned a finite amount of resources, which will ultimately increase stability and uptime for all shared hosting accounts.

The Ksplice Uptrack service combats another major factor causing downtime in any hosting environment reboots due to Linux OS kernel patching. Usually, Linux servers need to be rebooted monthly or more often to apply kernel security updates. If you look at Certified Hostings uptime record, you will see that most of our downtime is caused by having to reboot servers to apply these updates, says Carlsen. With Ksplice Uptrack, Certified Hosting limits the amount of downtime, if any, that normally occurs due to kernel security updates. There will be no more server reboots as all updates will be applied by hot-patching a running kernel.

Certified Hosting technicians have also embraced both technologies.

(Vocus/PRWEB) April 05, 2011

After months of planning, development, and user testing, new peer to peer learning service, Learnable, has been officially launched. Connecting everyday experts with eager students, Learnable is positioned to revolutionize the way we acquire niche-topic skills and information.

The Evolution of Learnable

The social online learning concept began at sitepoint.com as a series of online courses focused on teaching web developers a better way to design and build the web. sitepoint.com is one of the largest online communities of web developers and designers in the world.

Recognizing the potential that peer to peer learning has to a range of topics over and above web development, SitePoint decided to launch a Learnable as a new business focused on social online learning.

At launch, Learnable covered a variety of topics, including:


Public Speaking
Golf Fundamentals
JavasScript Programming
Branding
WordPress
Yoga
MYOB

Impeccable Credentials

Learnable isnt the first business that SitePoint has spun out. In 2008, SitePoint span out 99designs.com now the #1 marketplace for crowd-sourced graphic design. In 2009, SitePoint launched flippa.com – now the #1 place on the internet to buy or sell a web site. Its hardly surprising, then, that a great deal of listening, research and testing took place before introducing Learnable to the wider community.

In Learnable, I believe weve succeeded in bringing together knowledge experts and people who crave that knowledge, explains Learnable Co-Founder, Leni Mayo.

Weve invited experts in niche areas to contribute, and already their coursesand the way theyre deliveredare being embraced by students around the world.

Course Delivery

Learnables online courses vary in level of difficulty and length, and are priced from around $ 9 to $ 50. Students have access to detailed information about each course before they buy.

These self-paced online courses allow students to learn in bite-sized chunks in their own time. The courses comprise articles, exercises, videos, and other downloadable resources. Theyre seamlessly packaged into browser-accessible lessons for the ultimate easy-learning experience.

But the peer-to-peer learning aspect of the service doesnt end there. Says Mayo, Learnables social Q&A allows students to ask questions of instructors and other students, and to see and participate in previously asked questions and answers. Its like an ongoing class discussion thats happening wherever you are, he adds.

Learnables online courses are non-formala happy medium between structured institutional learning and unstructured self-guided learning. They allow students to learn from everyday experts, and build knowledge at a minimal cost as and when it suits them.

Information for potential students and instructors is available at learnable.com

Bluehost Launches New Reseller Web Hosting Platform

Provo, UT (PRWEB) October 14, 2011

Bluehost, Inc today announced the launch of its revolutionary next-generation reseller hosting platform, Bluehost Reseller Web Hosting. Available in 3 different packages, Sky Blue, Electric Blue, & True Blue, the new platform aims to make a large and immediate impact on the reseller hosting community. Over the last 8 years, Bluehost has revolutionized the shared hosting industry with its industry-leading customer support, server reliability, and hosting features. They are now bringing their proven experience, wealth of knowledge, and exclusive technology to the reseller hosting market.

Utilize Exclusive Resource Management Technology

Bluehost has managed to conquer the complex problem of managing resources in a shared hosting environment by creating exclusive CPU and Bandwidth management technology. This same powerful technology that is implemented on Bluehost servers is now available to you. This will allow you to fix and prevent any downtime for both you and your customers due to Bandwidth Exceeded and CPU Quota Exceeded errors. Simply set your resource usage thresholds for each individual customer and never worry about resource consumption again.

Provide A Customized Version of cPanel To Your Clients

On Bluehost Reseller Hosting, your clients will have a customized version of cPanel – an industry leader for automated point-and-click website administration. Bluehosts customized cPanel is the envy of the shared hosting industry and provides tools for server administration, file management, email settings, DNS management, and much more. There is also an optional branding feature where you can upload your logo for your clients to see rather than cPanel logos.

Full-Service Admin Control Panel With WHM & Billing Software

Bluehost Reseller Web Hosting provides you with a flexible administration panel, giving you control of WHM, cPanel, Billing Information and support for WHM clients. WHM is software that allows you to create and manage customer accounts, cPanel logins, resource limits, and much more. Also included in each package for Bluehost Reseller Hosting is advanced client management and billing software, provided by the Reseller hosting experts at ClientExec.

Spend Less Time Researching, Increase Productivity With Industry-Leading Support

Bluehost is continuing their tradition of providing industry-leading, US-Based, support with their reseller platform. With average hold times of less than 60 seconds, Bluehost is second to none in providing fast, friendly, competent support. Now you can access the same quality of support with your reseller hosting needs, allowing you to in turn provide outstanding information, services, & support to your reseller clients.

Offer Full Service Email To Your Clients

Bluehost was one of the first hosts to allow unlimited email accounts as a standard feature. It is then no surprise to learn that Reseller Hosting packages will also include outstanding email services as a standard feature. All three reseller packages will include unlimited email accounts & aliases, free spam protection, a free webmail interface, free auto-responders, and free email forwarding.

Never Pay Extra for Additional Domains, cPanel Licenses, Databases, and Other Features Again.

Bluehost believes that each customer should experience a reliable, hassle-free & straightforward experience. With Bluehost, gone are the hidden fees, limitations and upsell services that are typical of other reseller hosting providers. All three of Bluehosts Reseller Hosting packages include unlimited domains, subdomains, cPanel licenses, MySQL databases, & FTP accounts. Bluehost also provides a free billing system, free spam protection, a free website builder and support for multiple languages.

Offer Simple Scripts to Your Customers & Increase Their Ease of Use

When Bluehost introduced Simple Scripts a few years ago, they opened a new market for less-technical customers. Simple Scripts is a free script management software that allows users of little or no technical ability to easily install, configure, and update the most popular scripts such as WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, phpBB3, Magento, and more. From photo galleries, blogging software, CMS platforms, e-Commerce solutions and website builders, Simple Scripts is possibly the most useful tool that you can provide to your clients to get started with their web applications and sites. Simple Scripts dramatically increases the marketability of your hosting services to your clients and reduces the amount of maintenance and support required for your customers.

Pricing and Availability

Bluehost offers three separate packages for Reseller Hosting, allowing you to custom fit your plan to your needs. Starting at $ 19.95/month, reseller plans are available to everyone. For more information or to signup, visit http://www.bluehost.com/cgi/info/reseller or call (855) 300-7169.

Nexcess Announces New WordPress Hosting Platform


Ann Arbor, MI (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Nexcess, a web hosting provider with data center facilities in Dearborn and Southfield, Michigan, has announced the release of a new web hosting platform that is designed specifically for hosting WordPress web sites.

While many web hosting companies tend to carry a very generic focus in their product lineups, Nexcess has spent their 10+ years in the web hosting industry focusing on being very good at providing hosting for just a few scripts. This is shown very clearly in the companys relationship with eBay-owned Magento, with which Nexcess maintains a gold level partnership, a title held by only four other companies. As with Nexcess popular Magento MAG-SIP hosting plans (which stands for Secure Isolated Platform), the new WordPress web hosting options (similarly titled WP-OBP, or “Optimized Blog Platform”), are a unique and isolated web hosting environment that has been specially optimized for the best possible web hosting experience for a WordPress site.

Blog hosting is a competitive market, but so was the eCommerce hosting market when we first entered into it now more than a decade ago, commented Chris Wells, President & CEO of Nexcess, We believe that the same approach to hosting solutions that won us our close relationship with Magento will translate very nicely in bringing the perfect set of blog hosting plans to the WordPress community.

To start the companys new relationship with the WordPress community off on the right foot, Nexcess also announced last month that they will be sponsoring WordCamp Detroit 2011, set to take place this coming weekend. At this event, representatives from Nexcess will be available in the flesh, and ready to discuss everything that the company is doing to provide a web hosting environment that is truly optimized for the best possible WordPress blogging experience.

MailChimp Integrates with Major Self-Service Ad Platform

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 05, 2012

MailChimp today announced its integration with isocket, a self-service ad platform. This integration makes it easier for MailChimp’s million-plus users to make money from their email newsletters. isocket already manages direct and self-service premium ad sales for websites, and this partnership with MailChimp enables isocket to handle email ad sales.

Email publishers are busy people. They create content, talk to their audience, and grow their subscriber base, and it can be difficult and time consuming for them to monetize their email newsletters. To do so, they must start, grow, and manage advertising relationships. Keeping ad buyers happy takes time, and it takes different skills than creating great email content.

isocket is a leading direct and self-service ad community. It powers ad sales for some of the web’s most trusted publishers, including Techcrunch, Mashable, and Venturebeat. By partnering with MailChimp, isocket gives publishers a powerful and easy-to-use platform for managing email ad sales.

Email is undervalued as a direct ad sales channel. While it can perform super well, its historically been a giant tedious pain to buy and sell newsletter ads directly, says John Ramey, isocket founder and CEO. isocket is the easiest way for people to do website ad sales, so it just made sense to support email too. Now publishers can make more money from quality advertisers in just a few clicks, while advertisers get exactly the newsletter spaces they want without the hassle.

With isocket and Mailchimp, the process for email publishers to make money, and for advertisers to reach their audience becomes both simple and repeatable. An advertiser reaches out to the publisher via isocket’s ad sales site, BuyAds.com, the publisher and advertiser agree to terms, and then the correct ad creative is automatically placed directly into the purchased spot in the desired MailChimp newsletter. The ad is then sent in the newsletter, analytics and reports are shared with all parties, payment is received and the entire advertising relationship is handled via isocket.

This is good for MailChimp’s many publishers who create and send beautiful emails. Their newsletters go to millions of subscribers who represent a valuable audience. It’s now simpler for those publishers to be paid what they deserve, for their subscribers to receive relevant offers, and for companies to reach people who would like to hear from them.

Publishers can apply to join isocket at http://www.isocket.com, and organizations interested in purchasing ads from one of isocket’s members can visit BuysAds.com.

With the introduction of a comprehensive cloud enablement toolbox, the customers now have access to monitor their instances in real-time as well the ability to use Nubefys nScripts to manage applications and perform remote configuration tasks on the fly.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) July 26, 2012

KISSmetrics users can now incorporate the emails they send from MailChimp into KISSmetrics’ comprehensive tracking interface.

Thomson Reuters Releases Calais 2.0 with Support for WordPress, Drupal and Yahoo! Search"s New SearchMonkey Developer Platform : Teams with Publishers and Providers to Deliver Easy-to-Use Applications: - The Calais Tagaroo PlugIn for the WordPress Blogging Platform - Three Calais Modules for the Drupal Publishing Platform - The Calais Marmoset Toolkit for Yahoo! Search"s New SearchMonkey Developer Platform


SAN JOSE, Calif. (PRWEB) May 19, 2008

Found at OpenCalais.com (http://www.OpenCalais.com), Calais gives publishers and developers free, open access to automatic metatagging capabilities that increase the relevance and search accessibility of their content on the Web.

Calais version 2.0 features a dozen new semantic entity types, improving its utility for pop-culture publishers and bloggers covering media, music, entertainment and sports, as well as those covering pharmaceuticals, medicine and healthcare. It also adds code samples and libraries for accessing Calais, as well as two new output types the Simple Tags format and Microformats alongside the standard Resource Description Framework (RDF) option.

In addition, Calais 2.0 marks the debut of Thomson Reuters’ breakthrough Calais Marmoset toolkit. Calais Marmoset is a simple yet powerful tool that makes it easy for publishers to generate and embed metadata in their content in preparation for Yahoo! Search’s new open developer platform, SearchMonkey, as well as other metacrawlers and semantic applications. To learn more about the Calais Marmoset tool, go to OpenCalais.com/Tools (http://www.OpenCalais.com/Tools).

“We are humbled and gratified that more than 3,200 developers have joined the Calais community to work with the service, share ideas and help prioritize the development of our new features,” said Thomas Tague, Calais evangelist and project lead, Thomson Reuters. “We are also thrilled to provide bloggers and publishers of all sizes with new Calais plugins and modules that make it easy to kick-start metatagging and enter the era of the Semantic Web.”

Today, the company also debuted the Calais Tagaroo plugin (http://tagaroo.opencalais.com) for the WordPress Publishing platform found at http://Wordpress.org. The Calais Tagaroo plugin makes it easy for WordPress bloggers to tag the people, places, facts and events in their blog posts and add relevant photos from Flickr to increase their blogs’ visual appeal and accessibility on the Web. Tagaroo works in the background while bloggers write, automatically generating tags and finding related photos for selection, sizing and insertion via an easy-to-use interface.

In related news, Thomson Reuters teamed with Phase2Technology to create three Calais modules for integration with Drupal, an increasingly popular open source content management platform that supports a variety of Web sites, from blogs to large publishers and interactive communities (http://drupal.org/). The Calais modules for Drupal (at http://drupal.org/project/opencalais) make it easy for Drupal users to automatically tag their content, generating rich semantic metadata that can be shared via a simple key for integration into the larger content universe.

Finally, the Calais Web site at http://www.OpenCalais.com has been re-launched and redesigned to reflect the new Thomson Reuters brand architecture, and to support a dramatic upgrade in Calais community features. These include robust and interactive forum services, interest groups, advanced search and navigation as well as a host of other design and interaction features. Registered Calais users will not need to re-register for the site or Calais services.

About Calais

The Calais initiative supports the interoperability of content and advances Thomson Reuters’ mission to deliver pervasive intelligent information. It leverages the company’s substantial investment in semantic technologies and Natural Language Processing to offer free metadata generation services, developer tools and an open standard for the generation of semantic content.
