ANNOUNCEMENTS & NEWS

For a couple of years, Heartland Tax Services has been promoting the 1040.com tax service to its smaller clients. Like many of our clients, they have decided to take some of their home page assets and “re-purpose” them on Facebook. Check out their Facebook page.

The nice thing about Twitter is it's easy-to-use API. If you want to “re-purpose” your tweets, statuses, followers and of course anything else you see on the Twitter website, the API gives you access. By the way, according to Twitter’s CEO Dick Costolo, “Twitter is not a media company, we’re a distributor of content and traffic. We’re one of the largest drivers of traffic to other media properties.” That’s why you should get familiar with Twitter’s API. Check out some of the interesting applications you will find using Twitter API: http://mashable.com/2009/08/21/13-twitter-tools/.

We’ve just launched www.pwshrunninwolves.org. It’s a “user and role based” website including an easy-to-use, feature rich content management system (CMS). The website makes it easy for delegated administrators (in this case, parents of the runners) to create pages, management page content, and post current news, needs, events and private membership data. The booster club members, parents and students now have easily accessible public and private content ready and waiting 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

We been working with the API for some time and we can say “it’s a changing” frequently. The API of the “Graph” presents the people and the connections to everything related. It provides a consistent view of the Facebook social graph, uniformly representing all objects in the graph (i.e., people, photos, events, and pages) and the connections between them (i.e., friend relationships, shared content, and photo tags). If you got a Facebook project, you should plan and budget for changes.

When it comes to email open rates, the hospitality industry sees an average of approximately 6%. As for Tanyard Springs, the open rates are 32% and higher. What’s the secret?
