Why fans and friends unfollow brands on Facebook, Twitter & Linkedin (Infographic)

Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Social Media
Some years ago, the guys at ExactTarget told us why people follow and unfollow brands on social networks and other communication platforms. Time for an update you think? Well, here we go…
The guys at BuzzStream and Fractl conducted some research, asking more than 900 people on why they unfollow brands on social networks. With their And the infographic The Unfollow Algorithm they share their findings with us.
First of all, the big winner seems to be Linkedin. Almost only half of all companies or brands (49%) need to fear that they get unfollowed by their users. More problematic seems to be Facebook: 25% of the respondents said that they unfollowed a brand's official social media page in the last month. And, also Twitter is losing out: 12% of Twitter users stated they unfollowed a brand in the last few days.
So what are the main reasons for the "unfollow algorithm"? Well, the main reasons is that content of brands becomes repetitive and boring – 21% made clear they will unfollow a brand then. The frequency of posting is also ritical for users. If a brand posts too frequently (over 6 times per day) people will unfollow the brand page.
And what do people want? Almost every one in four (22%) claimed that "images" is the most preferred content type posted by brands.
What is your opinion, and why would you unfollow a brand on a social network?
Report: B2B content, networks and tactics on Social Media

Very often the question in our seminars come up which platforms, content types and tactics to use on social media. Now, a recent report by Eccolo Media enlightens us – although it has to be mentioned that the basis for the survey was a fair small number of 100 people responsible for influencing or making B2B technology buying decisions (33% influencers, 67% decision makers) but conducted in a series of three different reports.
The survey makes clear that just about every one in three B2B technology buyer (38%) states to not have seen any content from vendors on social networks over the past six months that influenced a business purchase. And now just think how much time you invest in all your information process towards B2B buyers.
It also found that 34% of responding people claimed they have seen vendor content on Facebook in the past six months that helped with a purchase decision. Now, this might be as the base was predominantly US marketers but still it shows the power and influence of the biggest social network also on B2B tech buyers. LinkedIn came in as the second most influential network. 32% said they found meaningful content there, Google+ was mentioned by 28%, YouTube 27%, and Twitter 20%.
The early stage decisions in the sales cycle is for tech buyers most useful when it comes to finding content on social media. However, the challenge is awareness (31%) and understanding (36%).
In terms of the content most welcomed and consumed 25% of the surveyed people think case studies from vendors on social media are best to work with. Further content types they liked to consume were technology guides (16%) and whitepapers (16%).

The social networking landscape is changing massively over the last years. Curation and aggregation of content becomes a big game changer through new ways of sharing, new platforms and modern technologies. Some new data from eMarketer explains the main gains and chains of social networking.
"Let's face it: As much as we complain about those over-sharers who inundate us with baby photos and vacation snapshots, we're still in love with social networking." Debra Aho Williamson, Pricipal Analyst, eMarketer
The next big thing will be mobile social networking, where Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr will become the prominent players. So, let's see how eMarketer predicts the social networking future for the next two years.
Social Selling 2015: The year of redefined engagement
06.01.2015 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Web Strategy
Selling through social media has always been a challenging business. However, all brands and companies we have spoken to in 2014 wanted to turn around Social Media from a brand reputation channel into a sales opportunity touchpoint.
Obviously, many of the companies had already failed. Most of them as they were either too greedy, or just not prepared to go in a bar without expecting someone to sell them a drink – or respectively, to buy their products and services after the brands or companies have posted their first status updates. In my eyes, it is time to shift expectations and start anew. 2015 should not be your year of sales disappointment, it should become your year of redefined engagement.
All companies aim for the same goal. Customer engagement is what companies are waiting, hoping and praying for. Thus, they pump out tons of content pieces from their latest brand sponsoring activities to the best white papers and case studies they can offer until they cannot find any content piece in their PR or marketing repository that has not been shared across the globe. And by accelerating the content via Facebook, Twitter and the likes, they expect their KPIs to become real.
And then, the guys from SocialFlow conducted a study in summer last year. analyzed organic posts with almost 1.5 billion social actions, showing them 99 percent of those updates on Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ create little to no engagement at all. Did brands use engagement the wrong way? Where their tactics bad? And if so, what were the obstacles they did not obey?
Let's look at the following three tactical approaches. Ask yourself if you really follow the three rules of engagement.
1. Engagement: Think cross-department, cross-partners and cross-employee
Companies still tend to be structured in silos. Internal politics, department thinking and career ambitions rule out what could be replaced by community engagement, employee engagement initiatives or engagement incentive plans. Still, most responsible managers don't know or forget how networking inside the company and with all external forces like resellers, retailers and partners might might leverage selling opportunities.
Now, whether it is limited digital capabilities of employees or the HR department that is often only involved in social media in terms of setting up social media guidelines, companies should start realitzing that their social media manager is not the company's silver bullet. HR and marketing need to align forces and work closer together: Culture, relationship building and trust creation is not only a sales business which got nicely highlighted by a study from Altimeter at the end of 2014.
Setting up processes, programs and platforms that work towards a common goal, that get updated by various minds, by different perspectives and manyfold views attracts the engagement of more customers. The formula is easy and proven: More brains can be in more conversations and generate more engagement.
2. Engagement: Learn cross-platform, from "free-meal" to "pay-for-play"
Companies and brands seem to accept that social media is not a "free-meal" any longer by investing in consulting companies to help transforming their social media efforts into social selling enagement. Facebook is leading in driving engagement to brands according to Simply Measured's 2014 Facebook Study which analyzed the Interbrand Top 100 Global. Photos accounting for 77% of total engagement, and link usage to around 16%.
However, brands still haven't respected the fact that getting people to listen and read their marketing messages by posting in social media is changing dramatically. When Facebook turns the algorithm into "less promotional" this year, companies need to start redefining how they approach their customers more subtile. Even if they will be addressing them with building clusters (or circles), contacting them via the "@name" phenomenon or hashtags. The wording needs tob e chosen carefully, and we can be sure other networks will follow that example.
Thus, the next big thing will be the shift from investing in traditional media to spending more money in platforms that leverage social networking engagement. Products like the LinkedIn Sales Navigator or individual targeting through the combination of data analytics and marketing services, will become the new sales kid in town. Where marketing and media decision makers have invested in nebulous target-group definitions, social networks can cluster target-groups by their individual interest in content, in pictures or in videos.
The only shame is that smart data (and especially media and sales data exchange) across platforms does not work yet. So, banners and sponsored posts will continue to haunt customers although they have already bought a product or service a banner promotes to them. Clever managers invest in blogger programs, in brand advocates and loyalty programs to drive up and cross-selling opportunities. Don't just think about content!
3. Engagement: Understand cross-quality values
Just to make this clear from the beginning: A LIKE is not only a LIKE, like a Retweet, Repin or Reblog is not just a meaninglesss interaction of some lazy engagement. In many seminars, we see marketers that still center their KPIs around quantitative engagement figures while under-estimating the chances that are covered behind such "automated" customer interactions: joy, interest, passion, emotions, etc..
Clever sales people use such quantitative engagements for profiling their customers' habits, experiences and interests in their social CRM database or sales management systems. They value every single customer engagement as they know when to turn quantitative into qualitative engagement, and how to turn it to their favor in meetings, calls and conversations. Knowing that a client has liked a shared golf or football video can be the start of a long-term relationship and open up doors for introductions to others.
Customers will be happy if they get good content to share with their own peers and community. They appreciate the dedication (seasonal content), commitment (consistency of service) and the quality of engagement (high interactivity) that brand accounts offer to them according to a study by the Engagment Labs. Appreciation, well-understood from customers and companies, is the key to social media engagement.
Spot On!
The link between customer engagement and employee engagement was not only proven in a study by Answers Corporation lately. In many examples with customers and experts have we experienced that social media engagement is not rocket-science, however the process of setting it up plus using and finding the right technology is a challenge. Still, the rules of engagement are changing in social media, especially in social networks. Facebook is the former RSS feed, just with the difference that you can sponsor it now. Youtube is the new search engine. It's 2015! Redefine your engagement mindset!
Study: Many executives cannot stop working in spare time
16.12.2014 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Web Strategy
Last year's CNBC study examined that C-level execs were more mobile than their senior counterparts in middle management. This year's CNBC's Mobile Elite survey -based on more than 600 online interviews across Europe, Asia and North America – shows that the usage and impact of mobile devices amongst business executives is higher than ever. Six in ten executives admitted they are still busy checking their mobile devices when its weekend time and the stock-market is closed.
Managers are even more busy consuming news during the mornings. For those vendors seeking to address the European business decision maker the weekday evening is said to be the right time to get in touch, according to the study. Obviously, many managers have more time during their weekend leisures to digest articles and information. Almost every second executive (48%) reads 'in-depth articles' and 38% has a close look at business profiles.
In that field, LinkedIn has achieved the number one position in Europe as a 'useful business and recruitment tool' (59%) with the highest scores for the 'respected brand' (64%). However, Facebook is also under the top-performers as a 'useful marketing tool' among Europe's Business Elite. In Europe Twitter scores highest European executives for 'use for both work & leisure' (55%) increasing from 32% in 2013.
TV and tablets are moving more and more together in terms of business impact and parallel screen usage for decision-makers: 80% of US executives stated they were watching TV while using their tablet. Europe is with 71% and Asia with 70% behind the US results. Still, 56% of global executives use their mobile device as a direct result of watching TV.
Their predominant reaction after watching TV content is…
– Web browsing for products or services (69%)
– Purchasing products, stocks or shares (55%)
– Responding to advertising (42%).
"An ongoing trend where work life and private life is bleeding into one another", thinks Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Cass Business School London, Andre Spencer.
Spot On!
Not surprisingly, business executives are massively using their mobiles and second screens. The more business turns international the more "global business environments work on a 24/7 basis", thinks Spencer. Staying in touch is possible and needs to be done the more people are engaged in being on the road. The work-life balance gets challenged when organizations are increasingly expecting their top executives to be online and working.
Email Evolution or Revolution – From Goethe to IBM Verse
20.11.2014 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Web Strategy
Eyes wide open, the two IBM gentlemen look at me. They sit up right. Professional. Spot On. You can feel their enthusiasm, their expectations are high. Both are social collaboration leaders at IBM, evangelizing on the #newwaytowork. That's how the software technology company hashtags their latest journey to the revolution of the email as they call the launch of their new inbox communication software "IBM Verse". You can tell how excited the two managers in front of me are to talk about the IBM success story. The launch seemed to have gone well so far.
On my opening question both face each other, not sure who shall answer. They are professionals in communication, they are prepared. "The term Verse is historic for communication and conversation", replies Dr. Peter Schuett, Leader Social Business Strategy at IBM. "In times of Goethe, when carriers brought people hand-written letters, all the communication that went to and fro was written in verse." The answer surprised me as IBM's development sounds like a trip in the past.
It is not. For the first time, IBM has taken a new development approach. They made their customers think about the new software solution by inviting customer to their labs, by rethinking email, and by thinking design and customer experience first, based on real customer feedback, input and inspiration. Not the cheapest way to innovate. The product development cost 100 Mio. US Dollars according to them. It has got to be effective from a customer perspective.
For a long time, IBM has been a forerunner in terms of modern workplace technology. Their "Outside the Inbox" evangelist Luis Suarez has already been preaching for a business world with less emails. We all know the reasons why he was addressing this. People get approximately 127 emails a day. This means emails kills 28% of our daily work-time, and thus of our daily productivity.
With IBM Verse the software technology company wants to shift productivity. Creating a more effective business culture is the aim. From Ed Brill's perspective, he is IBM's social business transformation specialist, email should function as a transmitter. Email today should be serving notes like a private letter what Goethe used to do in hand-written form: delivering private information.
"Email is the service forever. But it needs to be a personal service." Dr. Peter Schuett, IBM.
Focussing on the new software solution, I brought up the question in which way this is a revolution to email communication. Ed Brill emphasizes that IBM did not want to reinvent the email. IBM wished for a better email. However, IBM wanted to create a new intersection of email, calendar, social media and analytics. That's what they have done with IBM Verse.
When I showed a bit of my disappointment around the new solution's capabilities in terms of being an aggregation platform for direct messaging and functionality as an inbox management system in general, Ed Brill rearranges my expectations in bringing the metaphor on suits which might all look different in design but are in a sense all alike from the amount of innovation in style and structure. And by the way, the power users of enterprise email are still personal assistants.
True, sometimes people forget where they stand in the evolution of modern communication. With their "People" and "Analytics" functionality, the modern way of a more personalized communication approach seems to get in that social direction in the future. At least, when we compare IBM Verse and Facebook from a superficial point of view. With IBM Verse people also move into the centre of the communication universe which is meant to map the efficiency form content to people. IBM Verse "People" learns to show the users dynamically who is important to their communication, by hour, meeting and topic of conversation. Obviously, users can also change that and arrange it according to their premises. The world of communication gets filtered more and more.
Spot On!
IBM Verse is definitely a big evolution step in email communication. Still, they could have made it a bit more of a revolution in delivering a multi-messaging and communication management platform in my eyes which integrates direct communication via Facebook, Twitter and others.
Brill agrees that when CEOs wanted to spread the word around some company, product or people changes in the company, IBM was about to use email for that communication. Today, via IBM Connections -the internal use of their own company community platform- gets 7 Mio. accesses a month, and the CEO messages will reach (and achieve more feedback) more people via internal social messaging than via email in the past.
Nevertheless, the two gentlemen did not want to commit to a statement whether IBM Verse and IBM Connections might become one platform in the future. But the approach to one collaborative workplace platform, serves the option to have fewer apps in the future. But hey, there is hope: "Rome was not build in one day!" summarizes Schuett in the quick Snapshot video interview in the end of our interview, and smiles.
Most Popular Websites By Country (Map)

Two researchers Mark Graham and Stefano De Sabbata at the Oxford Internet Institute mad use of Alexa to determine the most visited websites by Internet traffic. Although the findings are quite obvious for some regions like the US and Europe where Google dominates, Facebook has already taken over Spanish-speaking parts of the America, the Middle East, and North Africa. Still, in those 50 countries where facebook "rules", Google or YouTube appear just behind. Yandex is leading in Russia with approx. 60% of search traffic, Baidu in China (however, the researcher doubted their leading position in South Korea). Interesting for me to see that Yahoo is still powerful in Taiwan and Japan.
The virtual office – Good reasons why your business may start here.
06.11.2014 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Sales
In days of Facebook, AirBnB, Tumblr & others, when new business models and start-ups spread all over the world, some marketing freelancers might think about the option to appear big. Or shall I say for some interim period of establishing a business, these people might want to look bigger than some decision-makers might imagine? Whatever their driver might be. When starting a business, marketing consultants have got the challenge to look professional all over their brand. An address in the right context location seemed to be a must-have. It's all about the brand, right? However today, the overarching value of a new business brand might have changed. What was a shiny office address in the middle of town in the year 2000, isn't important any more (and maybe never was). There are new and probably better options that virtual offices can offer.
Thinking back around millenium days, when we launched a start-up with some good business partners, the venture capitalists would have loved the option of a virtual business. The resons were obvious: The business model puts a foot on the "valid business reasons'" groud instantly. Operationals can start immediately. Being first to market, cannot be taken away from you. "Land and expand" is the option. All set. In 2000 this sounded like a dream for founders and their investors. Our company's rental costs were the biggest liability we had those days (also when we bought the business and sold some years later). We couldn't just leave and sign off our contracts. The landlord was clever enough to keep us in our rooms for at least six more months. The virtual office is much more flexible and usually offering shorter termination periods.
Talking about liabilities, you might also think about getting a secretary? Another cost topic. Virtual offices have got their own secretaries who will look after your business. Calls, postage, or even emails if you may want to leave it to them: all sorted out by them. Whether it is PR requests, marketing topics, sales inquieries or any other service related business, the virtual assistant is giving clients and business contacts what they are asking for (if you brief them properly). No overhead business. No extraordinary employee costs. If it is your own staff, you have to find replacement for them on days of illness or family issues. In virtual offices, the service is available 24/7/365. These days, you do not necessarily have to pay for health treatment if someone is ill. And speaking frankly, this harms your business in the start-up business three-fold: cost-wise, additional workload and underpaid founders doing processes and projects they should not be looking after in the start-up period.
Later, when I started some other consulting business, I used a virtual office place to start the business. The benefits were quite interesting then:
a) Pay-per-stay. When I was in London for business, my virtual office in London would have been fantastic. Why do you always have to commute around London and waste expense budgets, when from time to time you can just have gotten people to commute to you?
b) Pay-per-use. When clients came to visit, I did one phone call to the virtual office desk and paid for hourly use. That was really handy. Do I need to "own" (and pay) a meeting-room that is unused for 35 out of 40 hours a week?
c) Pay-per-need. When I needed a desk, I paid for a shared desk. If I wanted to stay at home, I just told the office desk the day before. Do I need to rent a place where "my" desk stands and is waiting for me too many days in a month? Traveling is the key to starting a good business. Meet as many people as you think is necessary.
d) Pay-per-inspiration. When I needed business exchange, new innovative approaches or even looked for some new networking opportunities, there were people from many industries to talk to at the coffee lounge in the virtual office. On a good talk, I paid for the coffee. No cheaper way to get consulting. And: Who goes a floor down in his office, just to meet someone as they are tenants like you are in order to speak about business?
Spot On!
There are valid business reasons to use a virtual office company when you start a business. When the business grows and you have got paperwork to store, you might think about using a bigger version of the virtual office components and features. Still, the reason for renting an office in days of cloud computing, bigger WIFI access and coffee bars in virtual offices is becoming smaller and smaller. And even, if your business grows, there are many ways to leverage the virtual office s long as you act in start-up mode.
Study: Promoted tweets beat organic tweets by 160%
16.09.2014 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Web Marketing
Some research by the guys at Convertro gives valuable insights to marketers in terms of paid social media. Compared to other platforms, paid tweets are more successful than organic tweets. The study shows that promoted tweets converted better than twice to organic tweets. However, YouTube is best in introducing new products and supporting consumers purchase decisions.
The report analyzed some 500 million clicks and 15 million conversions during the first quarter of 2014. It tracked the performance of social purchase interactions via the Convertro's attribution technology amongst their user base. The results show that promoted tweets converted at 3.9%. The unpaid tweets received only a 1.5% figure which makes a difference of 160% that paid tweets generate.
The variance of results can not be seen on Facebook though were paid status updates got achieved 3.1% versus unpaid status updates of 3.0%. Even worse were the figures on Pinterest were paid posts converted with only 0.2% compared to moneyless posts which received 1.1%. So, Pinterest probably needs to rethink their advertising model when unpaid posts (over 80% more successful) do more for marketers than paid posts.
Spot On!
If it wasn't Twitter, the questions for paid social media would probably even be higher. However, if we look at the overall figure, it is clear that paid posts increase conversion rates by almost 25% – at least according to the stats by Convertro. Maybe you have made your own tests and advertising campaigns with paid social media. If so, maybe let us know if your figures show similar results.
"Stream me up, Scotty!" – Viacom study shows streaming is the new black
19.08.2014 von Martin Meyer-Gossner
Kategorie English Content, Featured Stories, Mobile
In a quantitative study with 1,200 respondents, which also included some qualitative secondary research and some new form of "blography" component, it made clear that streaming has become a mainstream behavior. Almost four out of five (78%) participants of the survey had streamed music in the past three months. The streaming habit on the way to purchase is most often (91%) a form of auditioning music before buying it – especially YouTube has an important role in this process.
The age group of 22-30 year olds is even more active than their older and younger counterparts. Streaming music has become a daily habit for them (63% do it daily). As the group sample was taken from their target audience, it might be a reason that this result is even higher than in usual user studies.
The young generation of "streamers" listens to radio as an important source of information to this group. However, the study credited broadcast and the Internet as sources of music discovery. Interestingly enough the study states that the act of listening seems to be passive. User do not seek to find their music, it basically comes to them. It could be a prove that the music industry has understood how to use big data to favor the music taste of their users.
Obviously, TV is another major discovery platform for this generation. 88% of respondents mentioned that they searched for songs on TV shows next to listening to them. This could become another important opportunity for track-identification mobile apps (like i.e. Shazam).
The path from discovery to purchase (which in this study can mean several things, including "streaming it incessantly") is interestingly charted. The role of streaming in that path is often a form of auditioning music before buying, according to 91% of participants, who use YouTube for that purpose.
Spot On!
Not surprisingly, the respondents state that downloading music via P2P networks is not popular for them (60% see it as "risky" or "wrong"). Still, this does not mean that the idea is completely gone from their minds. Sharing music data with friends via DropBox or other sharing platforms is a common practice for music fans. However, if 81% of participants believe this is a support to bands they admire can be doubted. Maybe the music fans haven't quite understood how their bands make money. It probably "beams up" the bands relevance and popularity more if 63% of fans follow artists on Facebook and share the bands' news in their personal networks.

WANTED: Local Community Garden/Park needs help!!
Hello again,
As I sit here with snow covering EVERYTHING, I look onward to getting my hands dirtier this year then ever before. Last year, Hells Kitchen Park went from a trashed public park, to an amazing green wonderland. We had many wonderful volunteers help weed, water, and clean the park. We need more this year to help maintain and improve upon the work we began the year before.
Once again we need help from our fellow gardeners. Any donations would be helpful in any kind. If you cant lend a hand, then kick in a buck, or give us your old work gloves. Anything and everything helps. This year, the neighborhood should look forward to our FIRST bake sale and many other wonderful events. Thanks again for your help.--
In 2009, a group in my community gained permission to rehabilitate the planting beds for our community children's park, The Hells Kitchen Park, in NYC. The city has no money to help us with this but is desperate for our assistance.
We are looking for donations of plants for us to plant in the garden beds of Hells Kitchen Park (located on 47th St and 10th Ave in NYC). We are looking for any perennials, or seeds that you can spare. We have over 8 beds that need plantings. We also need volunteers. So, if youre in the city of NY and want to help out, send me a message.
Any donations of tools, plants, seeds, your time, would be appreciated. If you would like more info, contact me at email@example.com
Thanks for your support and if you're in the neighborhood, stop by and say hey! We'll be there all summer

I've taken over an old software project which uses an MS Access database to store its data. However the database won't open in Access as it says:
"You do not have the necessary permissions to use the 'database.mdb' object. Have your system administrator or the person who created this object to establish the appropriate permissions for you."
But I have no idea how to do this and googling reveals almost nothing (it seems restricting access to Access databases it not something that's done very often!). The only other clue I've got is there's a .MDW (workgroup) file in the same folder, but I don't know if (or how) this relates to the main database as it has a different filename and also doesn't open.
How can I get access to this database? Is it likely to be password protected or just some kind of permissions problem?

This check ensures that your server will allow your site to connect with the WishList Member Activation and Update Center. This enables license activation and the ability to display notifications of WishList Member version updates on your WL Dashboard.
Access being denied to the Activation and Update Center can happen if your server/hosting provider is blocking requests to the WishList Member licensing server.
If this is the case, you would need to request the server/hosting provider to configure their firewall to allow access to the Activation and Update Center.
Here is the information that will be required by the server/hosting provider in order to accomplish this request:
IP Address : 22.214.171.124Port : 80Domain Name: wishlistactivation.comFile Requesting Access : wishlist-member/wpm.phpPurpose of Connection : Software License Activation

There are actually a number of options for setting up Registration on your WishList Member site.
You can use the Registration URLs that are created in the Membership Levels section. These unique URLs can be added as links to any page or post and will link to a page displaying the corresponding registration form.Here is a Screenshot:http://screencast.com/t/hylvxhWb
Note: These Registration URLs are best used for Free Membership Levels or to give out free Memberships to trusted people. Anyone using that URL by itself can get a free membership. If you use this URL as part of the Simple Integration you'll be fine and the URL changes when used.
The Register link in the Login Widget directs to the Non-Member page. The Non-Members page is where users will get directed to if they do NOT have access to the area they are attempting to view. The thought behind having the Register link direct to the Non-Members page is that you will likely have a link to register on your Non-Members page. This is becasue you will want to give the option for users to sign up and register on the Non-Members page as they obviously want access to the protected content becasue they clicked on an area they do not have access to.
Ideally you want that page to let people know: It's protected content, that they need to log in (if they are members), and here's how to sign up.Here is a Screenshot:http://screencast.com/t/b8qIBvQWAs a note, you can set the Non-Members page in the WL Settings section.Here is a screenshot:http://screencast.com/t/5sv1dcYMsHere is a video:http://customers.wishlistproducts.com/03-creating-your-error-pages-wp27/
You are also able to add the register merge codes to the content of your pages and posts. To do that, use the following code:Registration Form Code: [register_level]Please note that within the registration merge code you will need to switch the word "level" with the name of the membership level you are wanting to appear.So for example, if you had a membership level called "silver", your registration merge code would be:[register_silver] This process creates a Registration form on any post or page with only a few clicks and minimal effort.
Note: Much like the Registration URL suggestion above, this is best used for Free Membership Levels or to give out free Memberships to trusted people. Anyone using an embedded Registration form can get a free membership.
We currently integrate FULLY with PayPal, ClickBank, Premium Web Cart, RedOakCart, Ultra Cart and QuickPayPro (Cydec). Also, we offer Full Integration with 1ShoppingCart provided you get the version with the API. 1SC can upgrade you if needed.
Note: 1ShoppingCart can take up to 24 hours to communicate. Hence someone could not pay yet get access for up to another 24 hours.Basically, the difference between SIMPLE and FULL integration is that with FULL integration, if somebody cancels their payment or the payment stops for some reason or another, those systems will communicate back with WishList Member and cancel them within the membership site & block their access.
But with SIMPLE integration, if a user cancels payment or doesn't pay for some reason you will have to manually cancel them within WishList Member.
Also, the link used to register will NOT be protected as it is in the FULL integration process. So, you will need to keep an eye on your payment account when new Members register to ensure tey have paid and not filled in the registration form is a friend who has paid copied and sent the Registration URL to them.Please note that we have many helpful videos in our Customer Center that will walk you through many of these scenarios. You can view these videos on the right hand side of this site:http://customers.wishlistproducts.comIf you are setting up Registration with the FULL integration options, then a user will actually click on the payment link/button you create during the integration process which is done in the WishList Integration Tab. Once a user clicks the payment link/button, they are taken to pay at the Payment Processor site and then sent back to your site to register.Here is the FULL Integration Registration Process:1) Person clicks Payment button/link2) Person pays through Payment Processor3) Person is redirected to a page where they can select their username and password4) Person is automatically logged into WishList site5) Email is sent to member with their username and passwordHere are the Integration Videos for the FULL Integration Options:PayPal:http://customers.wishlistproducts.com/23-paypal-integration-wp27/

Typically, when you have login issues for one member and not another, they are the result of one or both of the following settings: 1. Expiry
Is the membership level that these members are attempting to log into set to expire? If so, those members may be past their expiry date and, therefore, unable to login. Keep in mind that a recurring payment does not reset their expiry. For this reason, we recommend that you set any membership levels with a recurring payment to "No Expiry Date". That way, you won't have to worry about login issues as result of expiry... PLUS, if a member cancels their payment, they will be cancelled from that membership level by WLM and won't be able to access that content... so, you're covered there. To check and see if this is the issue causing your login troubles, we recommend setting your membership level to "No Expiry Date" and then attempting to login as one of the members who is currently blocked. If you can login... then, this is where your login issues stem from and you'll need to adjust accordingly. 2. IP Login Limit.
Newer versions of WLM have an IP Login Limit feature which allows you to set how many different IP addresses one member can login from. This is protection to keep members from passing their login details to their friends. This can also cause login issues with members, because they may access your site from work, home, a library, etc. For example, if your IP Login Limit setting is set to "2"... and, they attempt to access your site from 3 different places... they'll be blocked and their account disabled for 24 hours. Keep in mind that many Internet Service Providers , today, use what's called a "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)". This allows your computer to detect and use IP addresses dynamically when accessing the internet. What that means is that your users could even be accessing your site from the SAME computer, however, since their ISP uses DHCP, every time they access the internet, even on the same computer, it's possible that they get assigned a unique IP address, which can trigger the IP Login Limit. And, if they're using multiple computers in the same house... each computer will access the internet using a different IP address. To check and see if this is the issue causing your login troubles, we recommend disabling the IP Login Limit feature in the "Settings" tab of WLM and attempting to login as one of the members who is currently blocked. If you can login... then, this is where your login issues stem from and you'll need to "play" with this setting until you find the right number for your members and their internet usage habits. Also, keep in mind, if you want to limit the amount of IP Logins, that function fundamentally relies on the IP address that is accessing a site, there's really no way to "fix" this. It's a fundamental limitation of the idea and system, in general because, there's no way for a web server to determine WHO is using a certain IP address. For example, is it the same member who paid for access simply using a different computer or getting assigned a different IP address or, is it a completely different person who got passed access details and is accessing your site from their computer? There's no way to answer that question. Finally, chances are, that your login issues are a result of BOTH of these settings. You'll want to be sure to test them separately and simultaneously to see if it's expiry, ip login limiting, or a combination of both. That said, if you run these tests and these members aren't able to login, then, let us know and we can look into it further.

Beginning in Firefox 16 (or 15, maybe), the previous method of right-click in a toolbar area and de-selecting "Tabs on Top" has been removed by the developers. That option now appears only when tabs are not on top. As soon a you select the item "Tabs On Top" to move the tabs to the top, the item disappears from the right-click menu. I do not know the developer's reasoning for changing the way in which that option works. In my opinion, an easier way for users would be a check box in Options > Tabs for "Tabs on Top".

Beginning in Firefox 16 (or 15, maybe), to move the tabs to the bottom of the toolbar area (not "On Top"), you must edit a preference using about:config.

Info on about:config and using it - http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

To change the option so that tabs are not on top, find the preference browser.tabs.onTop using about:config, then double click that preference, or right-click then choose Toggle, to change the value to false. (true=Tabs on Top; false=tabs not on top)

have been looking for a O.K. priced mpg 2 wheel F.W.D. ...I have had 4x4 trucks, off road "ROCK CRAWLERS" & they all get poor mpg 10 to 13 was best!!!!
I have gotten out of "OFF ROADING" &wanted
a good ,fun , reliable, car for myself & after much, much, much reserach I bought a "SCION XA" & I'm loving it!!!!!!
I have found after driving it for 5mo. there is a awfull glare off the dash (after getting used to the speedo location) so I bought a "DASMMAT" cover & had all windows tinted....MUCH BETTER....

This has been the BEST car I've owned. Yes, it's little. Yes, it's basic. But if you want something that is awesome on gas mileage--39-40 mpg mixed and extremely reliable, this is your car. I have put over 86,000 on my XA w/o any problems. It handles great in the snow w/ decent tires, you can park anywhere and it always started--even when it dipped around 30 below.

I bought this used with 18K on it. The car was filthy but cleaned up well and had been used for city driving. I have a new XD and needed something economical for work since I only get 30 cents per mile reimbursement. I get about 34 mpg with this, not as good as the 43 I can pull from the XD. It was good the first 35K, then a retainer fell off the Toyota brake pad and I had to replace the front brakes because they were noisy. And then at 36K the right rear wheel bearing went. That's way too early for a Toyota. So I'm wondering what will go at 38K.

Gas mileage is certainly good. The odometer, etc. being in the center took some getting used to but I now prefer it. The cloth seats should be a better quality. After having owned it a few weeks, someone tapped it in a parking lot. My Scion had been parked. My car sustained damage while the other vehicle had nothing. My concern is the Scion vs anything else on the road! Safety is my major concern. I would also like to add that while sitting at the dealer I mentioned I heard the XA was to be discontinued and she said it was a rumor. A few months later (2 months to be exact), it was discontinued. Be sure to use an honest dealer. I wouldn't buy a pencil from them now.

I used to drive a Mercedes C230, but when my job got relocated, I had to get an economical car that is cheap and does not depreciate much. I highly recommend the Scion xA. It may not have the performance one would desire for or the sporty styling but over the life of the car or 25,000 miles, the only money I spent not counting oil change was spark plugs and belts. This is a dream for somebody who travels to work on long distances, wants a car with very low maintenance, utilitarian and easy to park. Four people sit comfortably in this Scion. Moreover, the resale value holds. I bought it in Dec '08 for $7,950 with 57K miles. Price has not changed at all during the year. Toyota did A+ job

What an amazing car! Love the gas mileage 40mpg!Very nimble & corners great!Inside design fantastic, wish cruise control,center counsel & fog lights standard.Stereo great transmission smooth but gears too short forcing quick shifts.Fit & finish excellent, overall a 9.5. If Detriot is serious about becoming relevant again take the lead from Scion. Thanx

This was my first new car. This car is soild/ dependable car. I have the oem 18inch wheels and rear stabilizer bar. I drve for a while without these and they made a huge improvement in ride and handling. 55xxx on it now....I will drive this car until it falls apart...If you know your buying a economy car, this is a perfect great sporty car. I am so happy I bought this car. I cant ask for much more.

I�ve owned this car a little over 3 years now and I�m approaching 30K miles. It is the best car I�ve ever owned. No trips to the dealer except for scheduled maintenance. I live in Ventura and it�s perfect for parking in tight spots and doing the 7-mile commute to work down the 101. Stereo is great! I average 33 MPG; Lowest MPG was 30 and highest (round trip: vacation to Bakersfield) was 39.47. I�m 6 ft. and I can �sit behind myself�. MPGs would be even better if there was a 6th �overdrive� gear. Friends are impressed and sad; too bad they stopped making these. The xD is not really a replacement. If I had to replace this car today I�d give the Honda Fit a serious once-over.

Although HCP is a S&P company, the CEO manages it as if it was a family business. Literally every little decisiosn must be approved by the CEO. There is little input from other senior leaders and they are unable and unwilling to make independent decisions that are customary at other companies. The CEO and other members of senior managemnt maintian a distance frm having to interact with employees. Performance management is a farce.

We needed a movie that would explain our technology using live-action and animation. During the process we noticed that Zero Creative is very experienced with technical animations, which helped us greatly. - Eva Voorrecht, Marketing Communications / Applus RTD
With this interactive presentation, we managed to take a complete installation to the fair. We saved on labor costs, transportation costs, hotel costs, maintenance costs, rental of facilities, etc. The building and dismantling time has decreased significantly. Large exhibitions probably can turn out as much as 15% cheaper than before. - Joppe Jacoby, Marketing Manager / J-Tec
"This kind of an experience could probably bring about a change in the way we perceive, think about buying or deciding about a particular brand or product." - Sreelakshmi Menon, Director Marketing & Communications / KONE
"Zero Creative understood our product instantly, with less information. They quickly visualised our whole process in a very clear animation which receives very positive feedback. The collaboration was very good, fast and professional." - Pieter van Staveren, Business Development, Logisticon
"Contrary to their name, Zero Creative is bubbling with creativity. They have made various animations for us. Every time with full satisfactorily. Zero Creative is pleasant to work: flexible, customer oriented and with a great eye for detail." - Team Communicatie / Brandweer Nederland

The Obama administration seeks rigorous evaluations as part of its overall performance management strategy
The Senate Budget Committee today announced that it has started a task force on government performance that will consider new ways for agencies to work more efficiently.
The task force of senators will examine the federal government's management framework and how to make federal programs and services better and more efficient, the budget committee said in an announcement.
"I strongly believe in the mantra 'what gets measured gets done,' " said Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), who will lead the task force.
The committee drafts the annual budget plan for Congress, monitors action on the budget, and recommends changes in the government's budget process. The task force will assist the committee in its oversight, the announcement states.
Meanwhile, evaluations of agencies programs are part of the Obama administration's overall performance management strategy and administration officials want agencies to volunteer to put their highest priority programs under tougher evaluations. Office of Management and Budget officials have given agencies until Nov. 4 to submit plans for which programs they would consider having reviewed. OMB may decide to give some agencies extra funds in their fiscal 2011 budget proposals so they could do the tougher reviews, according to an Oct. 7 memo from OMB Director Peter Orszag.
"Our governmentwide performance measurement framework will be focused on outcomes, allow comparisons across programs and agencies, and show trends over time," Jeffrey Zients, deputy director for management at OMB, said Sept. 24 at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs subcommittee hearing on performance management.
Zients will testify before the budget committee's task force Oct. 29 on performance management.
To help OMB with its evaluations and management, Zients announced at the September hearing that Shelley Metzenbaum is OMB's associate director for performance and personnel management. She will be on his leadership team for managing agencies' programs.
Metzenbaum has written several articles for the IBM Center for The Business of Government.
In this year's spring budget guidance, OMB told agencies to identify several high-priority performance goals. The list of goals should imitate what senior manager's see as their near-term priorities, Zients said in September.
These goals communicate the priority targets that each agency's leadership wants to achieve over the next 12 to 24 months," he said.
Zients said he expects agencies to reach beyond their own boundaries in order to get feedback about priorities and strategies. He also wants them to get expertise so they can reach their goals.

EkitJS - A web framework is built on the top of expressjs + mongodb native driver + socket.io, aims to reduce web development lifecycle, effective in collaboration, reusable code, dealing with business logic and support real time sync data from Database to Web Client.
A web framework is built on the top of expressjs + mongodb native driver + socket.io, aims to reduce web development lifecycle, effective in collaboration, reusable code and support real time sync data from Database to Web Client.
Start server with a single line of code
module.exports = { '*': function(req, res, next){ res.render(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'static', 'view', 'index.html'), { css: ekitjs.asset.renderTags('css'), js: ekitjs.asset.renderTags('js') }); }, 'get://docs': function(req, res, next){ // init route for http://127.0.0.1/docs res.render(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'static', 'view', 'docs.html'), { css: ekitjs.asset.renderTags('css'), js: ekitjs.asset.renderTags('js') }); }, 'post://login': function(req, res, next){ // listen post request from client at the url http://127.0.0.1/login res.send('Login successful'); }, 'put://update_something': function(req, res, next){ // update something... res.send('Update successful'); }, 'delete://delete_something': function(req, res, next){ // delete something... res.send('Delete successful') }};
module.exports = { _name: 'user'};
Done! Really simple!
ekitJS is a web framework is built on the top of orther basic NodeJS modules like: expressjs, mongo native driver, socket.io, ejs template system... So, it does not require any new coding syntax. What we are doing is re-organize the coding structure and propose the new way to help web development easier, faster and more collaborate. The most important different in ekitJS framework is the balance between the ease of use and the flexibility that the framework can support to help developer dealing with most of the application logic in an very effective way.
Five Principles of ekitJS
- Full Stack Javascript: It is really awesome when you can use the same language in both server-side and client-side. Then, the code can be reusable.
- Database Everywhere: Use the same transparent API to access your database from the client or the server.
- Everything can be inherit: We create all models based on the Class which supports extend and include method to help you deal with Object. It is also really easy like JSON. So, most of the time, you can inherit or override everything even ekitjs core class.
- Real time webapp via socket.io: Realtime webapp embeded in the framework is needed now. We give you an option to specify which query want to sync from database and which does not. This is really fantastic.
- Module-Based and MVC combine: We beleive that the MVC model is not enough in collaborate development. We combine the module-based system and MVC inside each module to make the web development more dependent and easier. We call each module as ADDON. The point is that you can inherit or override model in another addon and define dependency list. Again, it is super easy but really awesome.
What problem we try to solve for you?
Business logic or application logic is the important part in most of application from online shop to product company or even large business. Some of examples are:
- Require value.
- Data validation.
- Function field(*).
- Create Invoice when the Status field of Sale Order changes.
- Calculate Total Price of Sale Order Detail when it changes.
- …
In most of other frameworks, the business logic often is solved in Controller. In some case, you may need to duplicate your code. So, the consistency is not 100%.
In NoSQL expecially in MongoDB, the concept is Free Style Schema. For us, free style schema does not mean that it does not need schema. For example: NoSQL allow you to define field name in many different ways:
Option 1:
{ first_name, last_name}
Option 2:
{ name: { first, last }}
The point is that after you chose option 1, option 2 or option x, this collection must have the same structure in all document. So, what do you think? Change your mind about what Free Style Schema mean deeply or not? You can post your comment about The Need Of Schema, even in MongoDB in Our Gooogle Group.
So, in ekitJS framework, we propose dealing with business logic in Model, rather than in Controller. All business logic can be solve in Model. 100% consistancy, effective and really simple as below:
Simple require field:
module.exports = { _name: 'user', _column: { name: { first: types.auto(), last: types.auto(), }, username: types.auto({ require: true }) }};
Simple password pre-validate:
module.exports = { _name: 'user', _column: { name: { first: types.auto(), last: types.auto(), }, username: types.auto({ require: true }), password: types.auto({ validate: function(data) { if(data !== undefined) { // do some password encryption here return 'md5_' + data; }; return data; } }) }};
Simple function field:
module.exports = { _name: 'user', _column: { name: { first: types.auto(), last: types.auto(), full: types.func({ get: function(ids, data, callback) { var res = {}; this.read({ _id: { $in: ids } }, function(err, docs) { _.each(docs, function(doc) { res[doc._id] = [doc.name.first, doc.name.last].join(' '); }); callback(res); }); } }) } }};
In the above example, the field name.full is always the combination between first name and last name. It will not be stored physically in database. It will be automatically calculated when you make a query.
Simple model trigger:
module.exports = { _name: 'user', _column: { name: { first: types.auto(), last: types.auto() } }, createTrigger: function(ids){ // do some stuff here // call parent method this._super.apply(arguments); }, updateTrigger: function(ids){ ... }, deleteTrigger: function(ids){ ... }};
