Few people have realised that @pinterest is the world's fastest growing social commerce platform. It's so simple! All you need to do is 'Pin' your product page and include in the description of the pin a price. When you do so, the pin gets a ribbon in the top left with the price.

I attended this event organised by Manchester Digitial and was frankly overwhelmed by throngs of students passing through the doors. For most of the time our table was several people deep with students keen to learn more about Livelink.
It was also impressive to see what a high standard of businesses now thrive within Greater Manchester. We are witnessing exciting times in digital Manchester.

This competition is too good to keep to myself. In partnership with RIBA, Elliotts and EC Harris Architects, one lucky UK primary or secondary school will genuinely win a state of the art learning space, which the children themselves can design as part of the competition.
The objective of the competition is to encourage schools to develop designs for new and refurbished spaces in their schools, and to highlight the choices that schools will have to make in an age of diminished funding between building new space and refurbishing existing spaces on their sites.
The Elliott competition prize is a highly developed permanent building, using modular technology. This creates a high quality, low cost alternative which allows a new build solution in situations where previously only a refurbishment solution could have been afforded.
Find out how to enter by completing the form on www.refurborrebuild.co.uk
The campaign web site and facebook pages are all powered by Drupal and built by LivelinkNewMedia.com

Bad powerpoint presentations are a threat to the global economy
John Bohannon estimated the drain is $250 million a day! He recommends in his TEDx talk employing dancers to get our message across.
What can I do? - I don't have dancers!
So we can't all afford a team of dancers so here is an excellent set of slides to show you how not to suck on powerpoint.

The unpredictability of the web medium has always presented a challenge to web designers and developers. Differing web standards support and other variables are less of a pain than they used to be on desktop, for sure. The new unpredictability comes from the huge variety of alternative browsing devices we have to think about, including mobile phones of greatly differing ability, tablets, TVs, and more, with different control mechanisms, and different contexts of use. How do we adapt and move forward in this new age?

The clever people at AppSumo, an iPhone development company, completely get the power of Facebook and how reaching friends can amplify your reach.
This ever so simple competition is beautifully crafted to ensure that entrants encourage their friends to enter, be that on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn. By making social sharing a requirement to enter they ensure the competition goes viral. You do of course have to ensure you offer a fabulous prize too.
Already they have approaching 700 entrants via Facebook and a similar number on Twitter. It seems they are getting new entrants every 3 -4 minutes. Clever huh?
Would you like to have a competition like this? Why not contact Livelink New Media and we can do just that for you.
