Mark Zuckerberg and his team are looking to tackle a growing issue, that an average of 18 people die every day waiting for an organ transplant. With an impressive 901 million users, the Facebook team are hoping to spread awareness within the Social Network and encourage people to sign up to the organ donor registry.

Links to the UK and US organ donor site are already available on the social media site and more are expected to follow.

The movement has received some mixed reviews, though a majority has been very positive. The NHS Blood and Transplant is already promoting the new Timeline option through their Facebook page, take a look here > > NHS Organ Donation Facebook Page, and don’t forget to post on your Timeline if you’re a registered donor!

It’s become common knowledge that Facebook recently bought the app Instagram for an impressive $1 Billion, but what does that mean for us?

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO and Founder of Facebook was quoted to have said: “For years, we’ve focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we’ll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests.”

Many fans expressed a feeling of dread when the news originally broke, fearing that Instagram would become ‘just another Facebook app’. Across the web Instagram users have been suggesting what Facebook need to do to keep Instagrams huge user base.

Keeping the team together and keeping focused on what has made the app so popular are suggested to be the best way to keep the apps fan base. Many companies will tend to move toward large new projects when acquired by a larger company, this is often their undoing.

We can’t wait to see how many new options this could bring to uploading your pictures to Facebook.

How Zuckerberg and his team grow Instagram will be a real test of how far Facebook have come.

Exciting days ahead!

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…

We are pleased to announce we can now build fully content managed Facebook Pages using WordPress as the CMS system.

So far we have typically designed Facebook Pages without a CMS, but recent changes to the way Facebook allow custom tabs to be developed have allowed us to take advantage of the power of WordPress, within a Facebook Page.

So far we have built a handful of these new pages (e.g. South Australian Tourism Commission) allowing our customers to take full control of their Facebook Pages and the results have been great.

This time it’s a little more general, we’re going to show you what’s possible through the new timeline! The feature had opened up a whole new world of possibilities that brands are already taking advantage of, isn’t it time you started doing something different with your Timeline?

To give you some ideas, here are some of the innovative uses that the big brands have come up with so far:

Fanta utilized the Timeline and time travel claiming that the leap year had ripped a hole in the timeline and transported four of their characters to different times within the brands Timeline.

The band Coldplay took the Timeline as a great opportunity to show off the poster for their very first show, utilizing the Milestones now available through Timeline.

Old Spice took the opportunity to make a cover image worthy of their now famous viral adverts. This epic image certainly incorporates the essence of their adverts.

The Captain Morgan team went for a slightly different tactic, using the Timeline to add a little more depth Captain Morgan and give the fans a little taste of his life at sea.
