iNet SEO are delighted to announce a ground-breaking service for all recruitment agencies who are looking at both their SEO and Social Media strategies.

For more than 10 years, the former lead SEO at Agency Central has built up an unparalleled insight into what makes SEO work for recruitment agencies and now brings this to the recruitment marketplace.

Andy Drinkwater said, Many companies will have you believe that SEO is some dark art and keep their secrets squirreled away. The actual truth is that any good SEO campaign is made up of best practice guidelines laid out by Google, great content, a rich UX (User eXperience), understandable reporting and a plenty of common sense.

The new product is being launched as RANSaS early in March 2012 and will cover the complete spectrum of services to ensure a successful SEO campaign and social engagement.

But what makes the RANSaS product stand out from the crowd? Is it how we Crowdsource? Our reporting platform? Tracking capabilities? Social SEO integration? Best practice ethical changes? Fresh, unique content? Navigational analysis? UX control?

RANSaS is this and much more; a unique way to help you target and get your message(s) in front of those that are listening and looking!

Every campaign is different no two customers are ever going to be the same and will have differing requirements, so we needed a scalable way to bring this to the recruitment market. After initial assessment, you may not need to go social with the requirements you have or perhaps conversion rates are dwindling and you arent sure what to do about it? It could be that you are being beaten on a particular phrase? After all what is the point in paying for services you really dont need?

This is where RANSaS stands out, as all that is targeted are the areas that need work.

You can learn more about RANSaS by visiting http://www.inetseo.co.uk or by mailing info@inetseo.co.uk with details of your enquiry.

SEO India Company, Profit By Search, Now Offers White Label SEO Reseller Services

A few days ago, my colleague Eric Mack brought together eight of the coolest items produced by 3D printing - I'd now like to add a ninth. Digital music artist and inventor Onyx Ashanti has spent the last couple of years creating a wearable system to help him break away from the confines of the front of a computer screen and create improvised music using wireless gestural interface controllers. His original prototype Beatjazz controller was made from cardboard and featured pressure sensors, accelerometers and an iPhone. The vast majority of the latest version has been 3D printed, and it looks and sounds incredible.

Ashanti - who currently lives and works in Berlin, Germany - told us that he's been playing digital music for almost 20 years, has spent three years on tour with Soul II Soul and played on the award-winning Basement Jaxx album Kish Kash. He calls his music Beatjazz, which is inspired by the flow of music in DJ sets and described as the creation of continuous live, improvised digital music. He told us that the music results from interaction with an array of software synthesizers, each played one at a time, recorded into a buffer and then looped. The process is repeated until an on-the-fly sonic orchestra is created. The player can add effects, add or remove existing loops, or throw in some new ones when the mood dictates. Beatjazz also caters for gestural control over synths, effects and loops.

The software side of the system is built and designed in Pure Data, and is interfaced using a hardware controller. Ashanti says that he developed his Beatjazz control interface because he had reached the limits of what he could achieve using a midi wind controller. He also admits to being somewhat frustrated - and even a little bored - by using an interface built to resemble its real-world counterpart or always having to stay in the same spot while looking at a computer monitor to create or record music.

"I couldn't understand why I had to hold my hands and head in this configuration when a digital instrument doesn't need an acoustic tube to make its sound," he explained.

He was struck by the idea that breaking down the controller into separate mouthpiece and handheld key units would allow him more freedom of movement when controlling the Beatjazz system. The control interface developed by Ashanti is a three-way wireless network made up of a head-mounted pressure sensor and two hand units, the latter each sporting four pressure-sensitive pads, two joysticks and an accelerometer. The instrument is played using modified saxophone fingerings and exhaled breath registered on a sensor. The multi-color LED lighting is not just for effect, as each color represents a different sound being produced.

"Each of the three units uses an Arduino Fio running Firmata to interface with the sensors, and XBee Series 1 wireless transceivers for communication - with 1mW transceivers on the interface nodes and 63mW Series 1 Pros on the base station nodes," Ashanti told us. "This allows for strong signal on the base station side and reasonable power consumption on the interface side."

Information from sensors on each unit is sent wirelessly to a computer, where the Beatjazz system translates the dance-like movements and controller commands into digital music output.

Ashanti headed to online crowdfunding portal IndieGoGo to help fund his first prototype in January 2011 and, although he failed to reach his funding target, enough money was raised to build a working prototype of the system from cardboard, guitar picks and an iPhone running TouchOSC. He was subsequently invited to New York to demonstrate his system for TED, a video of which can be seen online.

Full build plans, files and schematics for the early prototype also made it into Volume 28 of MAKE magazine.

Plans to build a better prototype from carbon fiber were abruptly changed when he was introduced to 3D printing in September of last year at the Maker Faire in New York. Fashioning build components by hand can result in finished products that look hand-made, whereas professional-looking designs can be achieved using software on a computer and a 3D printer. Another crowdfunding appeal provided Ashanti with the funds to buy an Emaker Huxley Reprap open-source 3D printer that was also being crowdfunded at the time. The unit's exposed circuitry inspired a number of the design choices for the new Beatjazz controller.

Reporting from San Francisco

The Internet search giant says users can now store up to 20,000 songs for free and buy millions of new tracks, download more than 450,000 Android apps and games, browse e-books and rent movies on the digital media hub.

"This is a smart move to position itself as a content provider. Google now has an offering that can rival iTunes," SearchEngineLand.com editor Danny Sullivan said.

Google, a competitor to Apple in the mobile market in which the share of Android-powered phones by some estimates overtook iPhones last year is trying to catch up to Apple in selling digital media directly to consumers.

Apple's iTunes accounts for 70% of the market for digital song downloads, by one estimate. Google took the wraps off a digital music store to compete with iTunes in November.

Amazon.com is also focusing heavily on building a digital destination using its Kindle platform as a gateway to millions of consumers.

Gartner media analyst Michael McGuire said Google is smart to make its digital content easier to navigate and find.

"This is a crucial step Google had to take to keep competitive," McGuire said. "Google is trying to simplify delivering to consumers something they will pay for or load onto their device. Anything Google can do to streamline that is important. Google has got more Android devices in the world, but I don't think it's paying out as much to people who create apps or content."

Google says it will offer a different album, book, video rental and Android app at a reduced price each day for the next week. For example, consumers can buy "Where's My Water" for just 25 cents Tuesday.

"We're creating this notion that the consumer has a single relationship with Google as the ecosystem for their content," said Jamie Rosenberg, Google's director of digital content.
