greenitGreener IT & Your Business
Green ITFew business people could fail to realise the importance of green or environmental issues that now affect all parts of our day to day lives. All businesses, no matter what size, can help to save resources.By reducing waste a business can save money and establish itself as a socially responsible employer.

I.T. can contribute a fair amount to your running costs as well as your overall environmental footprint. Over the next few years legislation will increasingly start to affect smaller businesses and will start to force behavioural changes along with overall attitudes to the environment.
 
The good news is that we can start the process now, and by saving the environment we are able to save our businesses money. By supporting environmentally friendly IT initiatives today, you can be ahead of the game. Click here for our small guide.
socialmediaHappy Birthday You Tube !
YouTubeSocial media was taken to a new level five years ago with the introduction of video-streaming service YouTube.

Officially registered as a domain name on February 14th, 2005, the service has provided the world with a string of both famous and infamous user-generated content, allowing people to connect in different ways. Some of the most famous videos include a performance of 'The Evolution of Dance' and the clip entitled Charlie bit my finger - again! , a clip which has received more than 160.1 million views to date !

Commenting on the website's blog, Chad Hurley, co-founder and chief executive of YouTube, which is owned by Google, said that the event was a momentous occasion.

'From classrooms to war-torn countries, the Queen of England to the King of Pop, the Pope to the President of the United States and the hillsides of Port au Prince to the streets of Tehran, video has the power to give rise to the most diverse set of faces and voices ever seen or heard in human history.

'We're looking forward to celebrating our fifth anniversary throughout the year and hope you'll keep watching, keep uploading, keep sharing, keep informing, keep entertaining, and keep discovering the world through video.'

In the last few years Social media has turned the web upside down and has the power to literally
make or break your online marketing campaign. Done well a social media campaign can result in increased brand exposure, thousands of new website visitors and natural links to improve those all important search engine rankings. If you're interested in receiving training on social media marketing contact us to register an interest.
