Infographic visualizations for web communication, the case with Nestoria
Infographic visualizations are on the rise, as a way of communicating messages and brands on the web. Complex data arranged in a visually attractive way are good practice to spread messages virally on social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or Tumblr. Good infography is easy to catch in a moment, and the availability of a simple social object (an image), facilitates the action of sharing and virality.
Txio, ideal web tool for broadcasters (in minority languages, or otherwise)
Txio (tweet, in Basque) is a product developed by CodeSyntax for the website of EITB, the Basque public broadcasting company. It's an aggregator of tweets with interesting features: language detection, so it can channel messages in Basque or Spanish to different streams and interfaces, and also login options via Facebook and Twitter. The result is a tool that works both as a Live Blog for the news organization that EITB is, and also as a channel for comment and participation in developing events or live streaming occasions. One of those events is today, the MinoriTB meeting of TV Broadcasters in Minority Languages, held in Bilbao. See Txio in action there.
Lots of interesting things at PloneConf 2011 SF
So, after a couple of posts in which we described the first impressions, and then the main dish (the 3 d's of Deco, Diazo, Dexterity) we are back at work at CodeSyntax. Anyway, there were lots of interesting things to be accounted for at PloneConf and here you have a mixture of this and that, notes from presentations and lightning talks that we found insightful in San Francisco.
This is what we learnt about the three D's at PloneConf
State of the three D's: Dexterity, Diazo eta Deco. That was 'the' presentation of the 2011 Plone Conference at San Francisco. These are our impressions about these products.
First impressions from PloneConf 2011
So here we are at the Market Street site of the San Francisco State Universitiy for the Plone Conference 2011. Basque developers Lur Ibargutxi and Mikel Larreategi from CodeSyntax have written this summary of the 1st day for you :)
The case of Ulma Packaging, 12 sites, 8 languages: international web deployment with Plone
Over the last months we have been displaying a series of websites for a local customer: Ulma Packaging. They're a cooperative industrial company building machinery to package food and other goods. They export and sell in several countries, so they needed a solid international web deployment, and that's what we've built for them.
CodeSyntax going to Plone Conference 2011 at San Francisco
The 1st week of November we will head to California, to the PloneConf 2011 to be held in San Francisco. Mikel Larreategi and me, Lur Ibargutxi, will try to learn and contact with the community around several topics in the current development of Plone, our favorite open source CMS!
Nonick conference 2011
Nonick is an international congress on Internet trends, which is organised by EITB, the Basque public broadcasting service. This year's edition, focused on mobile, was held this past weekened in Bilbao, and CodeSyntax was present there. This is sort of a chronicke for the event.
Explaining collective intelligence gathering at the Visio conference
CodeSyntax will be present at the Visio 2011 international conference to be held this week in Bilbao, on the 2nd and 3rd of June. Visio is focused on Technology Watch and Competitive Intelligence.
Umap Cymraeg, Twitter aggregator in Welsh
It's been a month since we launched the 3rd version of Umap, the Welsh website Umap Cymraeg, an engine than aims to gather all tweets written in Welsh and build rich information upon that. We've been following its deployment and acceptance, and we're overwhelmed. With just 600 users at its launch, it's automated system has already detected almost double that number, and we are happy to see that Welsh users are praising the tool. It's not all merit of CodeSyntax, makers of Umap: a Welsh friend, Rhodri ap Dyfrig has helped this task greatly. Diolch.
