Truth in Social Media Analytics: Polygraph Media Launches in Private Beta at Defrag 2011

Posted by admin | Posted in Web Design | Posted on 13-11-2011

Broomfield, Colo. (PRWEB) November 09, 2011

Polygraph Media, a new analytics platform that helps companies better understand and manage their social media assets and activity, launched in private beta today at Defrag 2011. Polygraph provides actionable engagement analytics for companies measured across both their own social media properties, and their competitors.

Social media activity has grown to such levels that it is difficult for either large brands to know exactly what they?re doing and how they?re doing across assets, or for smaller agencies and companies to afford quality analytics reports. Polygraph Media gives users a set of tools to manage and analyze the effectiveness of their social media properties and those of their competitors.

At the Defrag Conference on November 9th and 10th, Polygraph will unveil the private beta launch of their new on-demand, single-serve snapshot reports for companies, an affordable analysis of how a company?s social media assets, or those of a competitor, are doing.

Polygraph mines deeper engagement data than other analytics services, and leverages a cross-platform functionality that will integrate across Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter to give an accurate picture of how well companies use social media. Like a credit report, Polygraph reports give a just-the-facts account that can then be leveraged to diagnose where a company?s social media pain points are and create an actionable plan accordingly.

?Social media data is a giant black hole for brands. Data is routinely ignored. Executives and marketers have wildly different views about what the data represents, and how to measure success. Consultants usually add to the confusion,? said Chris Treadaway, Polygraph Media founder and CEO, and author of the book Facebook Marketing An Hour a Day. ?With Polygraph, we want to provide users with the clear understanding that only data can provide. We want to help companies truly know themselves and how they are performing, and what has been effective or not for their competitors. Nobody has put this kind of information into simple, easily understood reports, and that?s what we?re doing.?

Polygraph looks within a social media property at immediate audience, extended network size, key demographics, for number of likes, followers, friends, trending topics, top keywords, comment numbers, @replies and total view counts. The data is segmented by account, time, or in custom ways that the user defines on the fly.

In private beta, Polygraph will launch with a straightforward and affordable tiered pricing structure for both single reports and subscriptions. Single reports start as low as $ 99.

The tools and reports are designed to help large companies answer the following questions:


????Who are the most engaged & influential fans?
????What types of interactions take place on our Page?
????What types of content works best on our Page?
????What time of day & days of the week do people interact with us most?

In early 2012, Polygraph Media will begin opening its underlying social data platform to enterprise developers for deeper integrations and data scenarios. These apps will range from profanity protection and cross-channel moderation filters to enterprise social data mining as a service.

Until now, the team has been working with a selected group of large brands and companies as beta testers. They are currently recruiting agency partners. To register for the private beta visit: http://www.polygraphmedia.com

About Polygraph Media

Polygraph is a social analytics and management platform specifically designed to help companies and brands understand how their social media assets are performing and turn that social data into real, actionable engagement intelligence for more effective campaigns. Polygraph provides high resolution reports, both on demand and by subscription, on how both you and your competitors are performing across social media.

The Polygraph beta release is currently available on the web. For more information please visit http://www.polygraphmedia.com.

Evermore New Media Develops Advanced CakePHP Website for IamExpat.nl

Posted by admin | Posted in Web Design | Posted on 02-11-2011

Amsterdam, Netherlands (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

The wheels never stop turning at IamExpat.nl ? a successful collaboration between Projekt 45, G Design Studio and Evermore New Media . Designed by expats, for expats, the site was envisioned by four business students when they met in Amsterdam and brought to life over the course of the next year, using talents from all around the world. Evermore?s role in this project was to convert the designs provided by G Design Studio into a fully functional website. While Evermore offers design services too, its role in this project was to incorporate cutting-edge technology, social media integration and cross-platform discussion forums, enabling connectivity with services such as Facebook and Twitter.

All in all, Evermore built a scalable, stable website with plenty of power under the hood, with the kind of clear, clean user interface and minimalist design that benefits a successful, feature packed website that?s easy-to-use. Behind the scenes, Evermore?s development team produced a site capable of handling multiple databases, daily uploads of content, user forums and an ever-growing base of content and traffic. Using collaborative tools of the trade such as 37signals? Basecamp and the Scrum methodology, Evermore was able to work in collaboration with teams and individuals around the world to deliver a complicated, custom website using CakePHP, an open source web application framework, to create a resilent content management system.

It?s hard work building, maintaining and developing a site the size of IamExpat.nl. That?s where Marina, Evermore?s project manager, comes in. Her role is to organize the team and ensure work gets done on-schedule. Using the Agile approach, the team is able to work on the project incrementally, while still working on the same goal, deliver critical and strategically important functionality first, and ensure that communication is always the top priority. Evermore has used the same methodology to produce other large websites to ensure work gets done ? but working with so many people across the world has been Marina?s biggest challenge and an extremely fun adventure at the same time!

Working with people across the globe, Evermore team?s development, project management and coding skills helped to ensure the success of IamExpat.nl. A typical day in IamExpat:

Omsk, Russia, 9am: Maxim, technical lead, logs in at the office. Ahead of him lies a hard day?s work incorporating feedback from the latest project testing and taking care of the next development sprint. IamExpat.nl contains over 10.000 lines of custom code, built from scratch to suit its content management requirements.

Amsterdam, 11am: Marina logs on to Evermore?s Campfire chat room and begins the daily Scrum catch-up. As the project manager, it?s her task to make sure everyone knows what they?re doing, and when.

Macau, South China, 3pm: Stelios, founder of Evermore New Media, receives a message from Marina asking for clarification on some of the day?s issues. Immediately, Stelios gets to work.

Athens, 7pm: Alexandros refines the latest designs and discusses with the IamExpat Team to ensure that the IamExpat brand identity is well incorporated in and clearly reflected on the website.

Amsterdam, 10pm: Panos logs on, approves the day?s work, and switches out the lights in the office.

IamExpat.nl ? created by expats, for expats.

IamExpat.nl was established by four friends who came to the Netherlands for different reasons but found the same reasons to work together. Starting out as students at the Rotterdam School of Management and Tilburg University, they decided to demonstrate their entrepreneurial side and give something back to the country they?d fallen in love with. As they graduated and found work across the globe, they invested their capital in forming the first version of IamExpat.nl, which has gone from strength to strength since then. Now, with the launch of the new version, IamExpat.nl is ready to become the most popular media platform for internationals in the Netherlands and even further..

Using the latest technology, the team has created an easy-to-use, intuitive, user-friendly website that enables customisable user profiles, commenting options, as well as social media integration. It was designed based on feedback from its members, who were consulted at every step of the design process.

Redesigning the site was based on the team?s decision to provide content on a daily basis ? in other words, making sure iamexpat.nl never gets old. But building a more active site required a substantial update to the site?s framework. Evermore?s role was to create a reliable website capable of handling a diverse and active user base and a regularly updated database of content, as well as converting G Design Studio?s innovative design into a working website using the CakePHP framework.

About CakePHP

CakePHP is a rapid development framework for PHP that provides an extensible architecture for developing, maintaining, and deploying applications. Using commonly known design patterns like MVC and ORM within the convention over configuration paradigm, CakePHP reduces development costs and helps developers write less code.
