webitpr's Social Media News Release service wins an award!

A quick lunchtime post as our Social Media News Release won an award at last nights 'North East Digital Awards' for 'Best Use of Emerging Technology' in the Digital Innovators category. You can see our entry here.



Not only did we win the Best Use of Emerging Technology award, we also won the overall Digital Innovators Award too! Good times.

Here is the service in all its glory:

Who saw it?

Possible new cult advert for 'Drench Spring Water', Brains from 'Thunderbirds' dancing to Snaps 'Rhythm is a dancer'

Been a bit busy of late, but can't wait for new Indiana Jones film! Cool widget that Lucas film made for sharing:

t'Internet World

Popped over to Internet World today to say 'Hi' to Zuzanna from Huddle (Nice to finally meet you Suz!) as they are one of our channel partners.

While I was there I managed to finally meet Jonathan Hopkins from Shed and watch the 'Measuring Social Media' seminar in the 'Web 2.0 Experience' arena.

Can't say it was the most interesting seminar, in fact Will McInnes pretty much kept me awake. The full line up was:

Nielsen Online, European Internet Analyst, Alex Burmaster
1000heads, Client Services Director, Robin Grant
Nixon McInnes, MD, Will McInnes
Techlightenment, Co-founder, Ankur Shah
Last.fm SVP, European Advertising Sales, Miles Lewis
Behindthebuzz, Consultant, Rachel Clarke

Still too many cagey answers and only Will actually looks like he wants to get grips with setting standards and finding answers around measuring social media.

Still I managed to FINALLY meet Dom Whitehurst afterwards for a quick burger!

Budweiser do it again, excellent:
