Having an intranet with social enterprise tools can bring a number of business benefits, such as improved employee engagement, faster decision making, more effective problem solving, reduced reliance on email and greater overall productivity.

Nigel Danson, CEO & Founder of Interact Intranet says:

It is great to see companies starting to fully embrace and realise the advantages of deploying social features successfully on their intranets. At Interact we believe social tools can bring massive competitive advantages when aligned to how people work; however on their own theyre not enough.

Make collaboration easy with one click to a multilingual intranet

Interact Intranet 7.3 now seamlessly integrates with Google Translate to give employees the ability to comment or create discussions in their preferred language, with instant translation of all intranet content in 60+ languages.

#Tagging makes it easier to uncover conversations & content around a particular topic

VoiceByte Releases Social Media App That Allows Users to “Talk” to Followers, Debuts New Explainer Video

Sunday, September 29th, 2013


Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) September 16, 2013

VoiceByte is changing the way people are interacting with their social network followers. Celebrities, politicians, sports teams, models, real estate agents and comedians are already embracing the Australian-made iPhone app, which seeks to bridge the emotional gap that’s a side effect of text-based interactions.

The VoiceByte app, available in the App Store, allows users to record and share 15 seconds of audio with a picture on Facebook and Twitter. By adding their voice to their posts with VoiceByte, users have found they are able to make a more emotional and engaging connection with their followers when text just isn’t enough.

In Australia, where the app was developed by the brother team of Michael and Stephen Fenech, VoiceByte has already made an impact in the political world and the sporting arena. Matt Thistlethwaite, a Labor Party senator contesting a House of Representatives seat in the upcoming Federal Election on September 7, has used VoiceByte to talk directly to the voters and media who follow him on Twitter and Facebook. In the sporting world, South Sydney, the most famous and successful team in the National Rugby League (NRL) have also embraced VoiceByte to deliver team news and share game day photographs with an audio commentary. ANZ Stadium, the former Stadium Australia and the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, has also created a VoiceByte profile to share game day atmosphere and announcements.

Entertainers are getting in on the act, too. Comedian and impersonator Billy Birmingham known to his millions of fans as The 12th Man has made headlines with his use of VoiceByte. Birmingham has had seven successive number one albums based on his hilarious imitations of the Channel 9 cricket commentary team. Using VoiceByte, Birmingham was able to deliver new audio material in real time to his tens of thousands of Twitter followers during the recent Ashes Cricket Test series in England while it was broadcast live on Australian television.

Like many companies that have great solutions to real problems, VoiceByte needed an efficient way to explain their product and to demonstrate the variety of ways the app could be used. That’s when they turned to Fire Starter Videos, a Hollywood-based demo video company that specializes in helping companies explain what they do using the power of animated videos.

Creator Michael Fenech, who developed the app with his brother Stephen, has seen the app used in a variety of other ways as well. “The platform is an ideal content creation tool, so we’ve encountered a wide variety of other uses, including providing tips, motivational speeches, reviews, sharing parts of favorite songs, telling jokes and much more. And because there is no better way to convey your emotions than with your voice, VoiceByte has also been used by men and women in the military to stay connected to their loved ones at home. Our new video really emphasizes how just about anyone will benefit from using VoiceByte.”

VoiceByte is free to download from the App Store on iPhone. Interview requests can be sent to voicebyte(at)me(dot)com.

Fire Starter Videos make all kinds of animated videos from whiteboard animation videos, to animated cartoon videos to videos that demonstrate software. Their clients include MasterCard, UNICEF, Hayes, the World Bank, and more than 200 businesses, governments, schools, and other organizations. The demo video company is located at 7083 Hollywood Blvd. To view examples of their work and commission a video, please visit their website at http://www.FireStarterVideos.com or email Adam Hudson at Info(at)FireStarterVideos(dot)com.

Criterium-Tauscher Cronacher Professional Engineers and Lifestyle Equities Get Social at the Southampton Social Club

Tuesday, July 9th, 2013

New York, NY (PRWEB) July 01, 2013

Criterium-Tauscher Cronacher Professional Engineers and Lifestyle Equities team up for a real estate networking reception at the Southampton Social Club, July 25th from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. The social initiative is a commonality between the 56 year old engineering firm and the budding luxury real estate brand. Each works with A-List clients while managing the ever changing virtual landscape and the shifts in the luxury real estate market.

In the spring of 2013 Criteirum-Tauscher Cronacher launched Collaborate, Exchange, Expand, a social effort designed to connect real estate attorneys, real estate investors and civil engineers. It is currently estimated that over 50% of new business is from referrals. Since its inception in 1957 word-of-mouth referrals and repeat clients have been the largest source of revenue for the firm. The same could be said for Lifestyle Equities, a luxury brand with a membership based real estate project in development with close to 70% of business arriving viva voce. Collaboration becomes an invaluable resource to continue organic revenue growth.

C.O.O. of Criterium-Tauscher Cronacher Professional Engineers, Rick Koller, is well aware that although web 3.0 enables the legacy of the firm to continue expanding, nothing equates to exchanging ideas in person, especially in the Hamptons. “I look for any excuse to visit the Hamptons. My family has owned a home in Shelter Island for decades and we have not only sailed in and out of there every year for the last 35 years, we have also provided professional services on the East End since my family started this business in 1957. Higher end consumers have utilized our licensed Professional Engineering services over the years but when youve been in the game for 56 years the focus becomes re-educating new and old players–it is essential to be social.”

Jay Norris, founder of Lifestyle Equities recently completed the Rolling Stones Lounge in Hollywood and has developed luxury real estate projects for esteemed brands including Thompson Hotels & LVMH Group. Norris social track record precedes him and he is currently developing a members only branch of Voce Di, a luxury furniture showroom, fine art gallery that houses private interior and architecture design services. Norris looks forward to the future in real estate, In my opinion real estate has always been social from the beginning of time…I think people miss shared experiences with their contemporaries as well as strategic partnerships. The international private membership project Im developing with Voce Di brings together a suite of contractors, developers, stylists, interior decorators, limited edition art, furnishings and private event access. This is where human beings live, work and play.

The notable alliance launches the single event as they consider future common interests.
