RFID Journal LIVE! 2011 to Connect the Attendee Experience With Facebook Via RFID

New York, N.Y. (PRWEB) April 4, 2011

RFID Journal LIVE! 2011, the world's largest trade show and industry gathering for the radio frequency identification (RFID) industry, is following in the footsteps of Facebook's f8 user conference by providing real-time "Like" and "Check-in" stations, as well as an RFID-enabled photo booth. LIVE! attendees will be able to connect with their Facebook accounts in real time, simply by swiping their conference badges near one of these kiosks. They'll also be able to take pictures of themselves and their colleagues at the RFID Journal LIVE! podium, which will then be automatically posted to Facebook.

"RFID greatly enhances social media by providing a deep level of engagement with online networks, and requires no effort from users," said Mark Roberti, RFID Journal's founder and editor. "We thought the industry that provides such cutting-edge technology should be using it as well, so every visitor will now have the opportunity to opt in and immediately update their Facebook pages with all of the cool stuff they do at the conference, without having to text, fumble for phones or log in."

The RFID Social Media Program is driven by RFID software firm ODIN and its EasyConnect solution, based on and fully integrated into Facebook's RFID Presence module.

"RFID and social media are exploding together--from Vail Resorts to the Super Bowl, every major marketing event will have RFID engagement within the next 24 months," said ODIN's founder, Patrick J. Sweeney II. "That's why we worked with Facebook to develop EasyConnect,to offer a Facebook-ready RFID solution. We're thrilled that RFID Journal will be putting the technology to the test."

All LIVE! attendees will have access to a secure log-on page at which they can undergo a 30-second registration process. Once the process is complete, they will then be able to take their show badges and use them to check in to each educational and entertainment session. At the end of those sessions, they'll be able to "Like" them or not--simply by walking by a kiosk and waving their badges.

RFID Journal LIVE! will also conduct a preconference seminar, RFID-Enhanced Social Networking, which will feature case studies presented by companies using radio frequency identification to link real-world marketing events with Facebook and other social-media sites. These companies will include Bling Nation, Vail Resorts and Vitro (which ran a campaign at the New York City Marathon for athletic shoe manufacturer ASICS).

"This is a great opportunity for marketers to come and learn about how RFID is connecting the real world and social-media sites to create more buzz and more customer loyalty," Roberti stated.

Interact Intranet Version 5 ? Intranet Software to Revolutionize the Way People Connect With Content

Altrincham, UK (PRWEB) January 25, 2012

January 25th, 2012 Interact, a leading supplier of Intranet Software announces the release of Interact Intranet Version 5 ? the next level of intelligent intranet software featuring social collaboration tools that will transform the way organisations operate.

This latest update to Interact Intranet is aimed at resolving the daily difficulties Intranet Managers continually encounter including:

????Eliminating the huge burden of constructing an intranet homepage that will appeal to everyone in their organisation
????Making sure that nobody overlooks essential information or the tools available on company intranets
????Being confident that everybody in their company is keeping their personal profile pages up to date, without the need for constant reminders
Interact Intranet version 5 has an improved intelligence store, which is the brain of the intranet and the core around which all content promotion is built. It has had a remodelled algorithm that helps content to find people more intuitively.

The new Interact Personal Page provides a dedicated, user- centric homepage on the intranet that is intelligently tailored to fit the needs of the individual user. Unlike traditional personal homepages, Interact Intranet monitors the users individual interactions with the intranet and scans their intranet profile to intelligently push tailored content directly to them.

Building on one of Interact Intranet?s founding principles the Interact Personal Page intelligently brings together content, teams and people via a number of clever widgets so employees can quickly find information relevant to them and prevent valuable time being wasted searching for content.

There are two new widgets that work with the Personal Page - Interact Suggests and the Signpost Widget Interact Suggests is an intelligent tool that actively pushes users tailored information based on what it thinks the user wants to know. It does this by scanning a number of criteria including skills, historical searches and documents they?ve commented on. By indexing the user it intelligently suggests information the user may be interested in and that could be crucial to their job, saving employees time and effort as well as reducing the pressure for Intranet Managers.

The Signpost Widget guides users around the intranet, informing them of missing areas in their profiles and allowing them to discover features they not have yet used. Designed to further increase usage and adoption, the Signpost Widget fulfils three key objectives: ensuring user profiles are complete and up-to date, promoting ?making life easier? components of Interact Intranet and educating users in the features of Interact Intranet.

Interact?s Founder and CEO Nigel Danson commented:

?Interact Intranet version 5 is a further step in intranet software excellence that promises to significantly improve the working life for intranet managers and employees. At Interact we truly believe that content should find people so we have further enhanced the intelligence engine in Interact Intranet to ensure even more content is connected to people.

So many intranet solutions focus on features and not the fundamentals of how people find and interact with information. We believe the key to a successful intranet is connecting content to people and making sure the technology doesn?t get in the way.

This update also massively encourages social collaboration through a number of new and exciting tools.?

With Interact Intranet Version 5 users can now ?Share? and ?Like? content on your intranet with two new features that make collaboration instant and effortless. The Share button allows users to share a link to current content on their profile feed. Users will be able to view the shared content in the Collaboration Space Widget, news feed and directly on the sharing user?s profile.

The ?Like? button allows users to like a piece of content on the intranet so they can quickly and easily begin to collaborate on your intranet, simply by clicking the ?Like? button which then creates a connection between the user, the piece of content and the content?s author.

Another key update to Interact Intranet version 5 is the totally re-built Discussion Forums which now have a dramatically simplified and intuitive interface as well as many significant functional enhancements to make it easier for employees to communicate, share ideas and collaborate throughout their business.
