Last Friday the Society of London Theatre launched their new site for the Official London Theater Guide. This is the number one site for theater listings and tickets in London. The site was designed and implemented by our in house team.

Today we also have an addition to our travel portfolio. Our partners at Portal Technology just launched two new sites for Thistle Hotels and Guoman. This project involved implementing a new brand and portlet development for their new hotel booking engine

Update on Radio IBC

10.10.2007 16:32

Posted by Conny Lutz

As we reported just over one month ago, the new Radio IBC website is now powered by our web platform VYRE Unify. We have just received the Radio IBC newsletter with an update on how the new website and show went for the Radio IBC team. I have copied and pasted this below for you from the newsletter.

Following a whirlwind twenty week development programme, the Radio IBC pilot was launched at 9am on Friday 7 September, 2007. By the close of IBC 2007 we had produced a total of more than 30 hours of original content and transmitted for over 45 hours.

Radio IBC 2007 mixed news, interviews, pre-recorded features, discussion programmes and packages recorded live from the exhibition floor. We covered every subject imaginable, from professional audio workflows to media law. From IPTV and internet video to the biggest OB production unit on the planet.

The pre-recorded content and packages recorded at the show are now available to listen to in our Audio Archive. There are also packages that didn't make it on air, a series of News Digests sponsored by Harris and extracts from our live output.

There's an RSS feed to subscribe to, so you receive new content automatically as soon as it's added. We intend to add to the Audio Archive on an ongoing basis.

There's also a link to our BROADniche network, where you'll find a mass of content recorded since we began producing programmes in September 2005.

We're now in the process of writing, producing and commissioning more new content. If you have any suggestions or would like us to make a programme about you or your company, get in touch. The best email address to use is info@radioibc.com . If that's too impersonal, contact Colin Birch - colin@eye-i.com or +447818 018404.

Yesterday was great and another packed schedule of great speakers awaits us.

Last night we attended a live recording of a diggnation show. It was hilarious to watch the duo and amazing see the fan base Kevin and Alex have built up here in the UK with their video blog. Check out the video on our moblog.

I am also working on my small web app here at FOWA I included an RSS feed for the moblog yesterday so now you can subscribe to this highly entertaining glimpse into the lives of VYRE employees. 

VYRE at FOWA and our new mobile blog

I am at the Future of web apps, and they are now covering the basics like Wifi, socialising at the event etc.

There are at least 10 VYRE employees here so it made sense for us to exhibit and if you are at the event you should really drop by and check out our product.

So to be super hip and cool we launched a mobile blog application where we will be submitting images and video from our fancy N95 phones.

Stay tuned...

VYRE at ad:tech London

Posted by Conny Lutz

On Wednesday and Thursday this week we were exhibiting at ad:tech London in Olympia. Although this was the third ad:tech show, it was the first time for us exhibiting at the event.

The show was quite busy actually, with plenty of visitors over the two days, and plenty of exhibitors over two floors. There were several seminars over the course of the show and the Google University, which is always very popular and educational for visitors.

The show's main focus was primarily digital marketing and advertising, web analytics, web traffic, SEO and so forth. We were actually one of only two CMS providers at ad:tech this year. But visitors to our stand were quite interested to see how VYRE Unify can actually help them convert the traffic to their website.

And our own Chris Chamberlain gave an interview which, so we have been told, should be available on the ad:tech website in the near future. So keep your eyes peeled for that.
