dealchecker.co.uk: Brits Look to Malaga for a Jubilee Bank Holiday Break

LONDON, March 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

-Data collected by dealchecker.co.uk shows that when it comes to taking advantage of this year's extra four day weekend, Brits have their eyes cast to Spain-

dealchecker.co.uk, a leading online holiday specialist, say that many Brits are already thinking about how they will be spending the additional long weekend afforded to them by the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.

Customer enquiry trends for visitors to dealchecker.co.uk reveal that Brits are looking to use their extra time off to escape to sunnier climes, with flights to Malaga proving to be the most popular enquiry for the Jubilee bank holiday weekend. dealchecker.co.uk say that having an additional long weekend to play with could be making Brits more adventurous about where they spend their short breaks.

Mark Attwell, MD of dealchecker.co.uk, comments: "Malaga has been an enduringly popular holiday destination for many years, but on long weekends the tradition for Brits has often been to staycation. We here at dealchecker.co.uk think that the four additional days off in a row this year, brought about by the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, could be tempting Brits into jetting abroad rather than staying at home."

Although it was the stand-out destination for customer enquiries, Malaga isn't the only Mediterranean destination Brits are eyeing up for their long weekend. Flights to Faro, Alicante, Majorca, Tenerife, Bodrum and Ibiza also proved popular with visitors and dealchecker.co.uk say this could mark the start of a new trend for British travellers.

Attwell continues: "The dwindling cost of flights to Mediterranean destinations has been inviting more and more holidaymakers to head to the Med for their holidays, from long two-week stays to shorter jaunts for some weekend sunshine. As prices for flights and accommodation continue to drop, we foresee that more travellers will be choosing to spend their long weekends in exciting overseas destinations rather than staycationing."

SearchMarketMe Welcomes 1st Agency Owner in India, 107th Worldwide, to Growing Network of Internet Marketing Business …

SearchMarketMe welcomed its first Agency Owner in India, and 107th Overall, as Nikhil Bathla, of New Delhi, India, contracted to receive training and support services to assist him in growing his internet marketing agency, Yo! Creations. Bathla investigated various internet marketing franchises but determined that SearchMarketMe will provide the help he needs in growing his internet marketing agency.

Seattle, Washington and New Delhi, India (PRWEB) March 08, 2012

Bathla, a highly experienced internet marketer and an instructor of internet marketing, sates, "A significant gap exists between knowing how to perform internet marketing services, and knowing how to successfully operate a business that provides internet marketing services." He said the specific business training that SearchMarketMe provides is the bridge to prosperity for himself and his fellow Indians.

"This is what the technical people in India generally do not know," added Bathla. "Yes, they can do pieces of internet marketing, but they don't know how to make money doing it, and therefore they cannot sustain themselves and grow a legitimate business - until now, with SearchMarketMe's help. Only SearchMarketMe provides training and support for managing and growing a business that provides internet marketing services. There is significant value in this!"

Bathla became a fan of SearchMarketMe's "Money U" business model, which helps agency owners find better balance between finding work and doing work, via a collaborative network comprised of Finders and Doers.

"SearchMarketMe's 'Money U' model will help me achieve a smoother work flow so I can build my agency and live the dream of owning a successful business," said Bathla.

"We are very excited to work with Nikhil," said SearchMarketMe's President, Boyd Karren. "Internet usage in India is expanding at an incredible rate, and Nikhil is postioning himself to profit very nicely from it. He is a skilled internet marketer, but he is hungry for the training and help that we can provide him in building his agency. But at the same time, there is much that we will learn from Nikhil about the Indian market, and we look forward to building a network of Agency Owners in India."

Syncapse Expands Enterprise Social Marketing Platform to Serve Needs of Global Corporations With Franchise, Dealer and …

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire -03/07/12)- Syncapse Corp., a leading enterprise-grade social marketing solutions provider for the world's top brands, today expanded its SaaS-based Syncapse Platform with a specialized social media management solution for global organizations and their individual franchisees, dealers or agents. This solution is designed to ensure corporate brand integrity while allowing individual business owners to achieve business goals using social media.

Central to this expansion is the content repository. Corporate head offices develop social content -- such as Facebook posts, images, videos and tab content -- for distribution to franchisees, dealers, agents, distributors or brokers. Once the content has received the necessary approvals to ensure corporate compliance, the content is placed into the repository where franchisees can search for appropriate content, customize that content, and upload it to their individual Facebook pages.

"Brand messages in social channels are inconsistent," wrote Jonathan Browne, senior analyst at Forrester Research, Inc. in a report titled How Does Social Media Contribute To Customer Experience? Let Us Count The Ways (January 10, 2012). "When one silo in an organization manages a Twitter feed and another establishes a YouTube channel, the content and tone of the initiatives can be out of sync with each other. Consumers who interact with these touchpoints don't have a consistent experience, compared with the brand promise."

The expansion also provides an unmatched opportunity for individual business owners to naturally grow their business by creating a personalized social presence that includes:

"Individual franchisees, dealers, or agents, often times struggle to succeed in social media marketing due to lack of education, resources and confidence," said Michael Scissons, President and CEO of Syncapse. "These updates to the Syncapse Platform will ultimately improve performance across the entire organization by giving individual business owners the resources they need to successfully build their businesses using social media marketing. Now, these folks can drive social into their broader strategies and more quickly build their businesses through personal relationships, community and referrals."

The robust measurement and analytics tools included in this expansion enable corporate head offices to view overall performance on social media channels, allowing them to quickly identify top performers and company averages as well as detailed metrics for individual dealers, including total audience engagement, engagement rate and earned media value.

Recently, Syncapse was the only social media management system to achieve a strong capability ranking in four out of five social media management system use cases, according to an Altimeter Group report -- authored by Jeremiah Owyang.

About Syncapse Corp.Founded in 2007, Syncapse Corp. is a global leader in enterprise social marketing solutions for the world's leading brands. The Syncapse Platform is a secure, SaaS-based technology infrastructure tailored for large global brands and enterprises. The Syncapse Platform gives brands the ability to manage communication, measure engagement and analyze owned social media across multiple markets, stakeholders and channels, with a single turnkey solution.

Chinese Firewall's most blocked terms

Terms related to political activists, anti-government movements and state censorship efforts are the most likely to be censored on Chinese blogs and social media sites, according to researchers at Carnegie Mellon University.

The "Chinese Firewall" is known to blocks certain websites - including parts of Google and Facebook - but the CMU study is one of the first to examine individual messages, words and terms that have been censored.

An inside look at censorship in China

Researchers found that the names Ai Weiwei and Liu Xiaobo, two Chinese political protesters, as well as the term Linagui, which is a code term for planned protests, are blocked on Chinese websites and microblogs called weibos at high rates.

Researchers studied 57 million messages posted on Sina Weibo, which is a Chinese microblogging site akin to Facebook or Twitter with 200 million users. Researchers used the site's API to find terms that had been deleted.

During a two-day period in July, 93 of 114 messages on Sina Weibo containing the name of Tiananmen Square protester Jian Zemin, who was rumored to have died, were deleted. Researchers also found that politically sensitive terms, such as the name of Fang Binying, one of the reported architects of the Chinese Firewall, is likely to be blocked, as was a term meaning "to ask someone to resign," especially after a deadly high-speed rail crash last year.

Even less innocuous terms were found to be censored, including words meaning iodized salt and radioactive iodine, which researchers found had high delete rates after the Japanese earthquake when there were some fears of salt contamination.

The study also found that some geographic areas had high levels of censorship compared to others. In Tibet, for example, which has been fighting for political freedom from the Chinese government, more than half of the posts originating from the area were deleted.
