Slalom Consulting Wins New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's App Quest Challenge

SEATTLE, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Slalom Consulting's NYC Station Finder has won the special Large Organization Award in the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's App Quest Challenge, which encouraged software developers to create new applications to improve the transit experience for millions of daily riders in the New York City area. Slalom's app swept the competition by using augmented reality to help riders find the right subway station and train to get them where they want to go.

The MTA provided extensive transportation data to developers in the competition and opened the challenge to all individuals and companies in the United States.

When transit passengers are looking for the nearest stations, they can simply hold up their iPhone and scan the street with its camera. The NYC Station Finder will show the location of nearby subway station entrances and, with a tap, will provide a map to the stations, as well as routes. The app even enables passengers to find train routes and schedules when in underground stations without connectivity.

"The MTA challenge has given Slalom a vehicle to showcase the creative talent of our employees," said Slalom National General Manager of Solutions Tom Chew. "Our company and employees take pride not only in the work we do but also in extending our solutions beyond our customer base to our community."

New York State's MTA is the largest public transportation agency in North America. The MTA has 8.5 million daily riders who benefit when they have access to great apps that improve their transit experience. The App Quest challenge was designed to encourage and recognize the developers who help make the experience easier for riders.

OSL Holdings Inc. New Business Unit, OSL Diversity Marketplace, Inc., Targets Multibillion Dollar Opportunity

NEW YORK, Feb. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- OSL Holdings Inc. (OTCBB: OSLH) new division OSL Diversity Marketplace stated goal is to provide business opportunities to diverse business owners throughout the United States. "We are going to realize a decades long dream to create real business transactions between corporations and diversity suppliers in a meaningful way that aims to deliver the goals of more than doubling current spending through technology, creativity and a true understanding of the issues that are preventing business today."

"There have been many organizations attempting to help this process.  To make the dream a reality today, we first must connect buyers and sellers," says Bob Rothenberg, President of OSLH. "We believe corporations and suppliers are smart and passionate, but they're also overmatched by the current environment.  They need a partner whose technology and creativity literally means business-- a valuable solution that impacts the bottom line." 

Recently AT&T was recognized for its supplier diversity efforts, AT&T spent $9.2 billion with diverse suppliers in 2010 representing 18.8 percent of the company's total spend, while its diversity goal was 21.5 percent of it's spend with diverse suppliers.

Commenting on this recent news, Michael Jones-Bey stated, "I commend AT&T for achieving a $9.2 billion annual spend with diverse suppliers. They are leading a wave of corporations that are expanding opportunities to companies that have traditionally been out of our economic mainstream. I believe that OSL Diversity Marketplace can harness this wave by partnering with Fortune 500 companies, diverse suppliers, and supplier diversity organizations. The opportunity here is phenomenal. When you consider that Diversity Magazine estimates that the top 50 corporations have made a commitment to spend 20% with diverse suppliers and are currently spending less than 8.5%, it is exciting to think about how we are building a solution to bridge this gap which is in the tens of billions of dollars."

"OSL Diversity Marketplace, Inc. is creating a virtual commerce ecosystem powered by cutting edge technology that will allow for business to take place with ease, online while ensuring transparency and closed loop tracking," adds Rothenberg. "We plan to leverage relationships with customers of our related business unit Corporate Diversity Solutions, Inc.  that are committed to supplier diversity such as Verizon, Pep Boys, and NY Times to bring this new model to Corporate America so that the Top 50 corporations can meet their supplier diversity goals."

Cambridge Tech Team Discover the True Meaning of Friendship Whilst Creating New Artificial Intelligence App for Your Phone

CAMBRIDGE, England, February 3, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    True Knowledge asked themselves what is the meaning of friendship when they started
creating a revolutionary new artificial intelligence app called Evi. She is young, eager,
innocent but not at all naive and is here to help with all of your everyday information
needs.

    Unlike standard search engines, she is able to not only understand natural language,
she allows the users to either talk or type as if interacting with another friend. Evi is
also able to learn from the questions asked of her, to build on her fast growing database.

    Evi really does take the search out of searching, she is able to answer a vast array
of questions using her own growing database of nearly a billion facts. For example, if you
were to ask a search engine "where can I get a coffee around here?" then you would be
presented with a list of websites whose content contains the words included in that
question, but with no actual intelligence. Ask the same question of Evi and she will
present a list of coffee shops nearby, their distance from your location as well as maps.
Evi knows what you want and is able to give you the exact information you need.

    Evi is not just a pretty face, by giving her negative feedback (hitting the thumbs
down button) she can learn more and more, this will then send feedback to the True
Knowledge team who will review the feedback and ensure the new facts are updated in the
database.

    Evi is a free mobile app for Android and is GBP0.69 on the iPhone, which uses cutting
edge semantic search technology.

    True Knowledge is a Cambridge based developer, founded by William Tunstall-Pedoe. They
have been developing semantic search technology since June 2007. The website
trueknowledge.com has been answering questions for over four years as well as providing
information services to other businesses and apps. Evi is their first product developed
specifically for the mobile market.

    The first day of launch Evi had over 37,000 Downloads.

    In the last six days since Evi was brought into the world she has become a new friend
with over 160,000 users.

Innovation Day 2012: a Time To Inform and Inspire

See 17 TED MED-style talks on Children's Hospital Boston's latest devices, technologies, and clinical innovations

BOSTON, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On February 14 from 1 to 5 p.m., Children's Hospital Boston, will hosts its first "Innovation Day." In a series of 17 short sessions, cutting-edge approaches to improving care delivery and quality while lowering costs will be presented by the innovative leaders at Children's Hospital Boston.

The event is sponsored by the Innovation Acceleration Program (IAP), an 18-month-old program at Children's Hospital Boston charged with building resources to support the innovation process and removing obstacles to hospital-based innovation.  The IAP is led by Chief Innovation Officer Naomi Fried, PhD. "Our group focuses on enhancing the culture of innovation that thrives at Children's. We support a wonderful community of innovators with funding, software development and advice," says Fried. "Children's innovative environment coupled with strategic support of innovation has resulted in some outstanding contributions to medicine and science."

Innovation Day is an opportunity to witness first-hand innovative ideas being turned into products, technologies and new care delivery models to improve the care of children. Some examples:

    --  Peter Laussen, MBBS, is revolutionizing real-time data to catch critical
        care crises before they happen. His T3 project aims to develop a
        scalable and portable visualization and intelligent early warning system
        to prospectively track the clinical course and trajectory of critically
        ill patients, and allow critical care clinicians to move from
        prescriptive and intuitive decision making to one that is predictive and
        analytic.
    --  Eric Fleegler, MD, MPH, and Eugenia Chan, MD, MPH, have developed a
        web-based program designed to capture in real time how a child with a
        chronic condition responds to medications when he is away from hospital.
        The Integrated Clinical Information Sharing System (ICISS) is a
        monitoring and management system that gathers real time (rather than
        recounted by parents weeks later) information from patients, parents,
        teachers and others care takers to monitor a child's health and
        functional outcomes so clinicians can accurately assess and adjust
        medication regimens. Its goal is to improve care coordination, decrease
        unnecessary healthcare utilization, enhance clinical decision-making and
        identify variations in care for defined patient populations.
    --  "Think Pediatrics" is a cloud-based teaching platform designed by Jeff
        Burns, MD, MPH, and Traci Wollbrink, MD, MPH, to aid and support
        clinicians around the world. By harnessing the global reach of the
        Internet, the latest knowledge can be shared instantly, providing
        clinicians with life-saving information anywhere at any time.
        "Pediatrics without Walls" is a comprehensive, continuously updated, and
        peer-reviewed knowledge exchange platform dedicated to providing
        multimedia and interactive teaching for physicians and nurses who are
        caring for critically ill children. Developed in collaboration with IBM,
        the March 2012 beta launch will include 1,000 users in hospitals across
        six continents.
    --  Thanks to the "Back to Sleep" campaign, babies are spending more time on
        their backs, causing their skulls to flatten, a condition known as
        plagiocephaly. But not every child needs to be evaluated by a neuro- or
        craniofacial surgeon. A web-based program, designed by neurosurgeon
        Joseph Madsen, MD, helps determine if a child can be referred to the
        Children's brace shop for a plagiocephaly helmet. In consultation with
        pediatricians, parents use cell phones and digital cameras as diagnostic
        aids and send their photos to a website for Children's experts to
        review. This telemedicine solution is enhancing efficiency, lowering
        specialty consult costs and saving parents time and needless worry.
    --  Delivering much-needed oxygen to the bloodstream during critical times,
        such as asphyxia, cardiac arrest and hemorrhagic shock can be very
        challenging. John Kheir, MD, has developed an oxygen micro-bubble foam
        that can be injected directly into the bloodstream, delivering
        lifesaving oxygen when and where it is most needed.
    --  Developed by John Brownstein, PhD, HealthMap is an online resource
        utilizing informal sources (e.g., newspaper articles, eyewitness
        reports, expert-curated discussions and validated official reports) for
        disease outbreak monitoring and real-time surveillance of emerging
        public health threats. Through a website (http://healthmap.org) and
        mobile app ('Outbreaks Near Me'), HealthMap delivers real-time
        information on a broad range of infectious disease outbreaks.  The
        system publishes online information about emerging diseases in nine
        languages, providing a view of the current global state of infectious
        diseases and their effect on health and facilitating early detection of
        global public health threats (e.g. H1N1 influenza).
    --  Hiep T. Nguyen, MD, and his team is developing an implantable device for
        more effective dialysis, calling it "Holly I." The device functions as
        an "artificial kidney" with the benefits of both hemodialysis and
        peritoneal dialysis.
    --  Eye drops often provide quick relief to patients suffering from minor
        eye problems such as redness, itching and dryness, but much of the dose
        isn't absorbed. Doctors have found that drops do not work very well for
        more serious chronic conditions such as glaucoma. Prototype multilayer
        lenses, developed by Dan Kohane, MD, PhD, are a form of a contact lens
        that sandwiches medicine between two layers of polymer film and
        administers large doses of medication at constant rates over extended
        period.
    --  An invention called BEAPPER (Bidirectional Electronic Alert
        Patient-Centered Provider Encounter Record) developed by Debra Weiner,
        MD, PhD, is an iTouch/iPhone app designed to track a patient's progress
        through the Emergency Department (ED).  Coordinated care requires that
        every member of busy multidisciplinary medical teams has access to
        timely information about their patients' test results, imaging studies
        and specialty consults so they can make expedient care decisions.
        BEAPPER facilitates communication between emergency department providers
        about shared patients and provides clinician support resources,
        improving care delivery, parent satisfaction, and ED through put.
    --  Pierre DuPont, PhD, is developing new robotic technologies and surgical
        tools to convert intra-cardiac repairs to percutaneous, beating-heart
        intervention. The innovation behind this technology enables the
        fabrication of tools with design features that cannot be achieved by any
        other manufacturing process. While developed for intra-cardiac surgery,
        both the robotic platform and the tools are applicable to many other
        types of surgery including neurosurgery, urology and orthopedics.
The event will be held in the Folkman Auditorium, Enders Pediatric Research Laboratories, Children's Hospital Boston, at 320 Longwood Avenue, Boston, Mass.  The event will also be live streamed here.  Please call the telephone number above or email for free parking information.

Founded in 1869 as a 20-bed hospital for children, Children's Hospital Boston has been ranked as one of the nation's best pediatric hospitals by U.S.News & World Report for the past 21 years. Children's is the primary pediatric teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School and the largest provider of health care to Massachusetts children. In addition to 395 pediatric and adolescent inpatient beds and 228 outpatient programs, Children's houses the world's largest research enterprise based at a pediatric medical center, where its discoveries benefit both children and adults. More than 1,100 scientists, including nine members of the National Academy of Sciences, 11 members of the Institute of Medicine and nine members of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute comprise Children's research community.

Price Confusion Scares Some Cash for Gold Sellers

WESTON, Fla., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Confused about your gold value? Join the crowd.  Consumers report the primary obstacle in selling unwanted gold jewelry is confusion about their gold's true worth.  It appears the lack of knowledge about the weight of their gold and unfamiliar terms like "pennyweights (dwt)," "grams" and "troy ounces," intimidates many potential gold sellers.

A telephone survey conducted by internet gold buyer, GoldFellow.com, revealed a telling statistic.  The survey consisted of 600 people who had already received the company's free FedEx® insured mailing label, but never sent their gold to the company.  When asked why they decided against selling, 78% stated they were unsure of the amount they should accept for their valuables. Asked if they were still interested in selling their unwanted gold, a majority said yes.

Barbara Whitman of Seattle, WA said she ordered information from six different gold buyers only to trash all of them.  When questioned by a GoldFellow.com representative as to why she chose not to send her gold, Whitman admitted her confusion.

"Honestly, I felt dumb," said Whitman, "but I said I wanted an idea of how much money to expect and I was clueless as to what a 'price per pennyweight' meant.  In my case I was curious to know how much I'd get for my mother's charm bracelet and a few other small things. So, I never sent it."

Michael Gusky, founder of GoldFellow® said he was troubled by the survey's results. He realized his industry hadn't provided a clear answer to helping consumer's gauge their gold's dollar value before selling.

"Every customer is curious about their gold jewelry's worth," said Gusky. "Selling gold by gram weight and pennyweight is very confusing and a challenge to translate.  Apparently, we've been communicating our company's offering in the wrong language."

Gusky accepted the challenge and created an innovative solution via its exclusive "Gold Payments Gallery," found on its website http://www.GoldFellow.com.

"It's a fantastic interactive tool, a virtual show and tell," said Mary Hamilton, a customer support manager who's worked with Gusky since 1987. "You can view hundreds of items purchased by us daily. Each photo shows the actual dollar amount we paid along with the gold karat and weight.  It allows you to see and compare your items with those similar - or possibly identical - to jewelry GoldFellow® has already purchased. Visitors to our site have been spending an average of 7 minutes checking out how much money others have received."

And what does, Whitman think?

"Mary called me again a few weeks later asking if I'd be willing to go back and look at GoldFellow®'s new photo gallery. It's really a wonderful concept.  I saw a number of pieces just like those I wished to sell along with the dollar amount GoldFellow® paid.  I decided to try it and four days later I had a check for $987.  I'm very happy."

"We have taken the mystery out of gold selling," added Gusky who is very proud of GoldFellow®'s innovation.

Michael Gusky began his gold industry career in 1977.  His fine jewelry company became the largest supplier of gold to America's retailers and was sold to Warren Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway in July, 2007.

Reputation Changer Launches Reputation Management How-To Blog, Offers DIY Tips from Leading Experts

Amidst increased demand for online reputation management services, ReputationChanger.com unveils new Reputation Management Agency blog, bringing together industry experts and offering tips and tools to businesses, public figures, and individuals.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Internet offers consumers total freedom, which can translate into either unparalleled opportunity or unimaginable risk for businesses and public figures. Whether you are a doctor, a politician, or an entrepreneur, your clients or constituents are never at a loss for ways to opine about your products or services to the entire online community. What this means is that there are infinite avenues for good publicity, but also that one negative review or belligerent online comment can sink your online reputation. Reputation Changer is a company that offers its clients a peerless array of services in online reputation management, and now it's allowing those clients to take matters into their own hands, via a new blog called ReputationManagementAgency.com.

ReputationChanger.com's new blog, Reputation Management Agency, offers a portal into the top techniques and standard practices used in Reputation Changer's own highly effective campaigns. According to Justin Singletary, ReputationChanger.com's Chief Executive Officer, the new blog is about making these reputation management tips available to as many people as possible. "Managing an online reputation is a laborious effort that requires in-depth knowledge of SEO and social media," says Singletary. "ReputationManagementAgency.com is about making the tools of the trade more accessible to those who might not be able to afford a full-fledged Reputation Changer campaign."

Indeed, reputation management is a field built on the principles of search engine optimization, or SEO, which involves mastering the ways in which Google and other leading search engines "rank" content. Given that the Google algorithms change roughly 600 times per year, this can be tough to keep track of, but ReputationChanger.com's new blog offers up-to-date, insider information involving the reputation management industry, as well as tips for those seeking to launch effective and affordable DIY campaigns.

In addition to industry insight and technical tips, the Reputation Management Agency blog also pools the experience and expertise of top industry officials. "One of the goals for the blog is to leverage Reputation Changer's standing in the industry to bring together some of the greatest minds in reputation management," comments Singletary. "Users can benefit from their shared strategic know-how within this very particular industry."

Subaru "Dog Tested. Dog Approved.(TM)" Campaign Returns with a New Pack of Dogs and New Canine Social Capabilities

- Active dog lifestyle is supported with new canine-specific social applications

- Cornerstone of campaign is Subaru Game Day Dog Walk event on Feb. 5

- Subaru partners with MapMyFITNESS(TM) to launch MapMyDOGWALK(TM) Mobile App for iPhone®

- Social networking Dogbook App redesign rolls out with Subaru takeover

CHERRY HILL, N.J., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the return of its "Dog Tested. Dog Approved." campaign.  The venerable canine commercials return for a third year with a new pack of dogs and social activities.  When players take the field on Sunday, Feb. 5, Subaru owners and their four legged friends will hit the streets for the second annual Subaru Game Day Dog Walk event by taking the pledge at http://www.facebook.com/subaruofamerica.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080325/SUBARULOGO )

"Dogs have always been a large part of Subaru culture; we also know that dogs play a significant role in the lives of our owners," said Alan Bethke, director, marketing communications, Subaru of America.  "The Subaru Game Day Dog Walk and new social apps are a natural extension of our brand's active culture and further allow dogs to be our owners' social lifestyle partners."

Subaru is taking an alternative, more social approach to the big game this Sunday than other brands.  For example, Subaru partnered with MapMyFITNESS to launch the MapMyDOGWALK mobile application for iPhone.  MapMyDOGWALK provides dog owners with access to an innovative geo-mapping application that allows users to track and store their daily walking routes in an online database.  Users will also have access to a searchable database of millions of routes across the globe, fitness calculators, dog event listings, and a dynamic social network of healthy and active individuals and their four-legged friends.

Canine social networking site Dogbook rolls out with an all-new design and Subaru integration.  The Dogbook Facebook application boasts all-new "Dogline" features: larger profile pictures, bigger news feed photos, a new My Life Story section, a Dog Years Calculator and customizable My Favorites Sections.  Also included in the update are a Happy Birthday Video feature and a faster high definition photo uploader.

"Last year 88,000 dog owners took the Subaru Game Day Dog Walk pledge on Facebook," said Bethke.  "This year our owners have two new social tools and four new Dog Tested videos to accompany their canine activities."

Dog Tested. Dog Approved.

The campaign is designed to resonate with Subaru owners and like-minded consumers.  Subaru drivers are two times more likely than the average car owner to have a pet.  In fact, seven out of ten Subaru drivers have a pet, and Subaru owners are also more likely to engage in skiing, camping, boating and other sporting activities.  To reflect these passions, those activities are depicted in the four new Dog Tested commercials.

"The Dog Tested spots have always been about highlighting funny and interesting car situations by using dogs instead of people.  This year we continue that theme with a focus on the lifestyle of Subaru owners starring an amazing pack of dogs."

        --  "Camping" - The dog pack discovers that camping isn't all it's
            cracked up to be.
        --  "The Beach" - A ragtag pack of dogs find out that sun, surf, and
            sand make for an epic day.
        --  "Jackknife" - Backing up a canoe trailer proves difficult for a dog
            and his buddies.
        --  "Ski Trip" - Furry friends spend a day on the slopes.

iomart Group plc Calls on UK Government to Make Kitemark for Child Online Safety Compulsory for Public Sector

GLASGOW, Scotland, February 2, 2012/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    iomart Group plc, one of the UK's leading Web hosting companies, is today calling on
the UK Government to insist that all public sector organisations with a duty of care to
children should only purchase software products that have been awarded the BSI Kitemark
for Child Online Safety.

    iomart Group's stance follows the announcement today (2nd February 2012) by the
Science and Technology Select Committee
[http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/science-and-technology-committee/news/120202-malware-rpt-published ]
, that the UK Government should
consider imposing safety standards on software sold if self-regulation isn't adopted by
the IT industry.

    iomart's Web security software Netintelligence [http://www.netintelligence.com ],
which provides Internet protection for 100,000s of school children and families in the UK,
is the first and only such software to carry the BSI Kitemark
[http://www.kitemark.com/kitemark-4-u/for-parents/child-safety-online.php ] for Child
Online Safety. Netintelligence was awarded the Kitemark by Children and Families Minister
Tim Loughton in January 2011. So far, no other UK software company has taken up the
accreditation and the government has not supported the Kitemark publicly.

    The BSI Kitemark for Child Online Safety is a certification scheme for Internet
website filtering software produced by software manufacturers. These products can be
bought as stand-alone products from computer retailers or come as part of an operating
system or ISP package. The software's ease of use, reliability, and performance must meet
the scheme's strict criteria.

    Angus MacSween, CEO of iomart Group plc, said: "Back in 2007, iomart along with the
British Standards Institute, OFCOM, the Home Office, several major UK child safety
organisations and other private sector companies spent a considerable amount of time
working on the specifications required for PAS 74 (Access control systems for the
protection of children online), which ultimately became the BSI Kitemark for Online Child
Safety.

    Rather than yet another clarion call for more action, the UK Government could make a
bold stance now. It should insist that all public sector organisations with a duty of care
towards protecting children online, for example schools and local authorities, should only
purchase products that have been awarded the Kitemark. That way other commercial companies
will have to follow the lead of Netintelligence and iomart to provide software that the
public can trust."

    iomart Group plc is ranked as one of the top Web hosting companies in the world by
HostReview and is Scottish Digital IT Company of the Year 2011. Bill Strain was recently
named IT Leader of the Year 2011 by IT Pro.

Award-Winning Princess Cruises Blog Hits the Bookshelves

"50 Essential Experiences - The Travel Bucket List" Now Available as a Special Collectors' Book

Princess' award-winning blog is now a book, available on Amazon.com.

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The inspirational travel stories featured on Princess Cruises' award-winning blog "50 Essential Experiences - The Travel Bucket List" have been gathered into a just-published collectors' book. The beautifully-produced volume takes readers to some of the most fascinating places around the globe, following in the footsteps of some worldly travelers as they share their favorite travel memories and "must see" places.

(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/LA46760)

The book recounts each of the Essential Experiences from one to 50, just as they were featured on the line's year-long blog. The site, which became one of the most popular blogs in the cruise industry, attracted millions of views and thousands of comments. Each of the 50 featured stories focuses on a notable travel destination, and each is told by one of the line's own destination experts - well-traveled employees from both the shipboard and shoreside teams.

"Because of this reader enthusiasm, we decided to turn 50 Essential Experiences into a book to continue inspiring people to build their own bucket list of travel destinations," said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president.

"50 Essential Experiences - The Travel Bucket List" is a 328-page softcover coffee table book, filled with dramatic photographs of each destination. The book is available for $18.95 on Amazon.com and in shipboard boutiques throughout the Princess fleet.

"Few people have seen more of the world than our own destination experts," noted Swartz. "In the more than four decades that we've been sailing the globe, many of our longest-serving shipboard and shoreside employees have logged thousands of sea and air miles visiting hundreds of countries, cities and sites. And now their experiences and recommendations will live on in this new book."

Along with each author's story, readers can learn more about each Destination Expert through the "Five Revealing Questions" in which they tell more about favorite souvenirs and most memorable travel meals.

The blog has won several awards including a Gold Magellan Award from Travel Weekly magazine, a PRism Award from the Public Relations Society of America and a Platinum Marcom award from the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals. The entire blog can be found at http://www.50EssentialExperiences.com.

Satmetrix® SparkScore(TM) to Offer Groundbreaking Social Media Measurement Solution That Connects Online Sentiment to Business Results Using Net Promoter®

Solution marries methodology and approach of Net Promoter with social media sentiment classification and rigorous analytics technology to measure online conversations in a meaningful business context

SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Satmetrix®, the Net Promoter® software company, today announced it will change the way businesses measure and use social media with the first-ever Net Promoter social media measurement solution, Satmetrix SparkScore(TM). The solution applies the same Net Promoter methodology of recommendation behavior, which identifies Detractors, Passives and Promoters of a brand, to social media sentiment. With SparkScore, businesses will be able to measure the fluid and unstructured comments and opinions made about their brands online using Net Promoter, the widely-embraced customer loyalty metric and business practice that drives profitable growth.

"In the absence of an effective way of making business sense of social media content, businesses have been limited to simply counting tweets, likes, follows or other vendor-specific score methodologies that don't have the proven linkage to growth," said Richard Owen, chief executive officer, Satmetrix. "SparkScore, our breakthrough social media Net Promoter Score, will change the game. Companies will be able to understand the sentiment of what is being said about their brands online, connect it to measurable business results and bring it to the board room."

In the upcoming weeks and months Satmetrix will be releasing a series of SparkScore solutions. The first, free edition, which is scheduled to launch towards the end of this month, will measure the SparkScore of major brands across industries. Using a rigorous and reliable sentiment engine from Satmetrix development partner, Metavana, SparkScore will analyze comments made about brands across social media sites (Facebook, Twitter and more), as well as reviews, discussion sites and applicable private customer forums, and assign a SparkScore to each brand. Companies will be able to access their overall SparkScore and compare it to their industry's benchmark and best and worst scores on a daily basis.

"Social media is a growing priority within businesses, but our research demonstrates many lack a solid strategy and means to understand if their efforts are achieving business results," said Bruce Temkin, managing partner of the Temkin Group. "Applying the NPS discipline into a social media environment full of rich customer feedback is right for the times."

Following this first release, Satmetrix will be embedding its SparkScore solutions into its Net Promoter in the Cloud software applications to enable companies to generate more powerful social media insights and drive action across their organizations to increase business results.

"Our future SparkScore-based solutions will create a single means of managing an integrated, 360-degree view of the customer experience that leverages social media sentiment and solicited customer feedback to increase brand loyalty, reduce customer churn and mobilize promoters," added Owen.

Status Update: Lexus Races Ahead with First Facebook Timeline-Inspired App

Application invites fans to share nostalgic milestones in Lexus history on their personal Facebook Timeline

TORRANCE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In anticipation of Facebook's expected launch of Timeline for brands, Lexus unveiled a new Timeline-inspired Facebook app today at apps.facebook.com/pointsofnoreturn-tm/ that allows the automaker to connect with its fans on a more personal level. The Points of No Return application focuses on the all-new 2013 Lexus GS (arriving in showrooms February 2012), highlighting milestones in the creation and history of the model, as well as other groundbreaking moments in social media, technology and design.

(Logo:  http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120202/LA46302LOGO)

Through its Timeline-inspired app, Lexus is sharing the passion of its dedicated fans with a wider audience while making it easier for enthusiasts worldwide to engage with the brand. The app takes advantage of Facebook's recently unveiled custom Open Graph and uses verbs such as "Want," "Own," and "Remember," in the context of historic moments in technology history, previous GS models and the all-new 2013 GS. Each interaction will be shared as a story on the user's personal Facebook Timeline, similar to a status update. 

Today's launch makes Lexus the first brand to unveil a Timeline-inspired application and an early developer to incorporate Facebook's new Gestures platform. "We developed this application to empower Lexus fans to engage with the brand in a new way, leveraging Open Graph features to enhance user experience," said Brian Smith, Lexus vice president of marketing. "We're not waiting for the future. It's all about innovating, including a 'sneak peek' of exciting things to come on Lexus' Facebook page."

As part of the larger 2013 GS launch ad campaign, the Points of No Return application creates a veritable museum of Lexus GS history intertwined with important moments of global change. Memorable events featured on the app include the launch of the LF-Gh (the Lexus concept vehicle that inspired the new GS) and the world reveal of the 2013 GS at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

America's Top Premium Subscription Music Service Brings an Engaging Music Experience to Android Tablets, With a Focus on Premium, Original Editorial Content

SEATTLE, Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhapsody today announced the availability of its new application for Android tablets.  This latest product innovation from the most popular premium subscription music service in America makes it even easier for Rhapsody members to discover new music, read about their favorite artists and rediscover music with expert playlists, guides and features.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101006/RHAPSODYLOGO)

The tablet transforms Rhapsody into an immersive experience that's inspired by what digital music lovers miss about physical albums and CDs: album art, photos and the ability to reach out and touch the next album you're playing.  The tablet amplifies the experience with the best aspects of digital, with links across the universe of content that Rhapsody editors have produced over the past decade.

"We didn't just resize Rhapsody - we re-imagined the entire experience for the tablet," said Brendan Benzing, chief product officer, Rhapsody.  "The tablet is not a giant phone or a mini computer. It's your companion on the couch, in transit and out in the world, and therefore people experience music and consume content differently than they would on a computer, portable device, TV or home audio system."

Original editorial content has been a mainstay of the Rhapsody service since it launched in 2001. Each week, the editorial team--who are the leading writers in their respective genres--produces features, reviews, videos and playlists designed to guide members through Rhapsody's vast catalog of 14 million songs across nearly 600 musical genres.  The tablet application is built around this content, with lush imagery, playable links and franchises designed to guide members through the service.

The application maximizes the unique capabilities of the tablet.  Members can tap, swipe and zoom through Rhapsody content while listening.  In addition to streaming the Rhapsody catalog while connected to the Internet, tablet users can download playlists to their tablet and store them to enjoy offline anywhere.

"We are dedicated to creating a premium experience that consistently brings value to every aspect of the Rhapsody service," said Benzing. "The tablet app delivers on this promise by providing more than just access to music--it's a guided tour of millions of songs and a musical canvas for a myriad of experiences, from collaborating with friends to build a party playlist by passing the tablet around the room, to providing a soundtrack to a recipe or an e-book."

The tablet application is available today in the Android Market and the Amazon Appstore for Android.

Rhapsody applications are also available on the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, RIM BlackBerry, and Windows Phone 7 as well as through more than 70 consumer electronics devices, including those by Vizio, SanDisk, HP, Sonos and Philips. 

About Rhapsody
The Rhapsody® digital music service (http://www.rhapsody.com) gives subscribers unlimited on-demand access to more than 14 million songs, whether they're listening on a PC, laptop, Internet connected home stereo or TV, MP3 player or mobile phone. Rhapsody allows subscribers to access their music through more touch-points than any other digital music service, including mobile phones from Verizon Wireless and MetroPCS, through Rhapsody applications on the Apple iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, RIM BlackBerry, Windows Phone 7 and Android mobile platforms as well as through devices from Vizio, SanDisk, HP, Sonos and Philips. Rhapsody is headquartered in Seattle, with offices in New York and San Francisco, expanding to include a presence in Luxembourg, London and Frankfurt upon closing the Napster International acquisition.
