We are proud to announce the launch of the official Olympus UK Facebook Page. We are currently working with Olympus on a number of projects but this is the first element to go live.

As a leading manufacturer of professional opto-digital products and pioneers in the technologies field of imaging and voice products it was important that the Page reflected this. The Page needed to showcase the creativity and originality Olympus deliver in developing new products and efficient systems solutions. As such, the Page and ongoing updates will be hugely visual with lots of imagery and video content.

The Facebook Page has been launched to coincide with the new Timeline conversion for Pages, with a fresh design and added functionality for users. The Page promotes both the UK Camera and Audio departments, showcasing the latest products and providing users with useful information and resources. The new timeline layout has enabled Olympus to promote interesting milestones since establishing in Europe in 1963. If you go back you will see some of the retro cameras, audio products and the numerous highlights, events and meaningful technological advances Olympus have made over the past 50 years.

The Page includes full social integration features including feeds from YouTube, Twitter and Flickr as well as a polling tool allowing customer feedback. The Page comprises a Welcome tab, introducing visitors to Olympus the brand and the latest video content from their official YouTube Channel as well as email sign-up functionality. The products tab allows visitors to select either Camera or Audio products and click amongst and view the latest collections, from where you can view associated accessories and buy directly online.

There is also an additional Customer Services tab reflecting the intense customer orientation and fast implementation of customers’ wishes Olympus demands.

Keep your eyes peeled for more updates and interesting new content coming soon…

Here are our Top 3 Gadget cleaning devices!

1. Compressed Air

This is a fantastic little device that lets you blast dirt and dust off your computer components, keyboards and all those hard to reach or delicate places!

2. Cyber Clean

Looking remarkably like the silly putty many children played with at some time or another, this goo will sink between the keys on your keyboard and pull out all the rubbish.

3. UV Light

Many large industries already use UV light to effectively sanitize their products, this little gadget can use the same technology to kill the germs on your smartphone!

This is a great development for two reasons.

Firstly brands that started before 1800 can now more accurately tell their customers how and when they were founded.

The second is how this change came about. Mashable posted a piece last week commenting on the issues some brands would have with the Timelines only being able to go back as far as 1800. Since then Facebook has extended the time frame to the year 1000!

The year 1800 date wasn’t an issue when the Timelines where only used for personal profiles, however there are companies and organisations that were founded far earlier than 2 centuries ago who required the timeline to be extended.

It’s amazing how much power one internet post can have!

Google, who are well known for their Google Doodles and Eater Eggs related to the holidays weren’t outdone today with the equation below.

sqrt(cos(x))*cos(300x)+sqrt(abs(x))-0.7)*(4-x*x)^0.01, sqrt(6-x^2), -sqrt(6-x^2) from -4.5 to 4.5

Seems like a very random algebraic equation doesn’t it?

Well try typing this equation into Google for a special Valentine’s Day Easter Egg!

Whilst you’re on Google why not try ‘askew‘ and ‘do a barrel roll‘ too?

Unsurprisingly Twitter has seen a huge number of Valentine’s Day related tweets. Though one anti-Valentine’s Day trend simply called ‘Tomorrow is Tuesday’ has been making the rounds on the site there are still a lot of positive Valentine’s Day related tweets.

There is a definite split when it comes to Valentine’s Day related tweets, particularly the positive ones!

The launch of Twitter Brand Pages coincides with a site-wide redesign and restructuring of the micro-blogging site and will enable additional features and functionality to company presences. According to reports, brands will be able to customise their profile header and improve the overall look and feel as well as highlighting their best content. Reports also suggest the ability to select a tweet to stay at the top of their page, with that tweet automatically expanding — even without a visitor clicking — to display a photo or video. Additionally, brands will be able to separate their @ replies and mentions.

Users and brands have been awaiting in anticipation for the launch of a more business orientated destination for users of Twitter, particularly since the improvement of Facebook Pages and the launch of Google+ Business Pages over recent months. Rumours began in April that the product was to be developed and launched in 2011.

Before we all get too excited though, Twitter has carefully selected a number of launch partners who are currently advertising on Twitter. Launch partners for the pages include Coca-Cola (in the example shown below), Dell, Disney, Hewlitt-Packard, McDonald’s, Nike, PepsiCo, Heineken, Subway and Paramount Pictures (specifically for the release of Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol).

It may be the case that the next roll out of Brand Pages are exclusive to high spending advertisers before this is available to the average Twitter user. In any case it is a proactive step forward from the social network giving brands a home and differentiating brand accounts from personal users.

To date most major brands have a presence on both Facebook and Twitter, but until this announcement, a brand’s Twitter page was more a place to push content to their followers’ streams and respond to customer service enquiries and was not a standalone destination in itself.

Following Facebook releasing the ability for users to browse Facebook over a secure connection, it is shortly to be required that all custom page content must be hosted securely. This means that all tabs on pages need to convert over to HTTPS by Saturday October 1st 2011.

If we have designed your tabs you should have heard from us either by telephone or email this week about transferring over to a secure server hosting package. If you haven’t replied or received an email, please ensure you get in touch with us ASAP as your page may not display as of Saturday.

Should you wish to host/continue to host your own page yourself, then you will need to purchase an SSL certificate and also make the relevant changes to your application settings. For more information please see the official Facebook developers blog here >>
