Whether it’s a wedding present up to Manchester or parcel to Cardiff, these guys promise a same day service.

Hot on the heels on CJAM, we have also launched a Wordpress site this week  for Drawbridge Estates.

BNI Tigers

We recently launched the website for Leicester’s Tigers’ Chapter of the BNI. Established in 1985, Business Network International (BNI) is the most successful business referral organisation of its kind in the world with more than 110,000 members and over 5000 active chapters.

Leicester Tigers is one of the Midlands top chapters. They have over 30 members (including Cite) and since it began almost 10 years ago has passed over 20,000 business referrals, estimated to be worth in excess of ten million pounds of business to local companies.

Have a look at Leicester Tigers BNI website and if you fancy coming along to a meeting yourself, then feel to contact the leadership team. Alternatively you can talk to ourselves and we’ll be happy to bring you along as s guest.

The latest in the line of social media hubs has arrived from search engine giant Google and it’s called The Buzz. It was heavily criticised after the launch last week for the lack of privacy features but Facebook has been criticised in the past for security features and yet people still use the social networking site.

By automatically connecting you with your gmail contacts, the Buzz provides the ability to share web links, photos, videos with those people that are important to you. You can also connect your Flickr, Twitter and other networking sites to your Buzz account allowing everything to be displayed in one place.

Google Buzz is also available via mobile technology and through any gmail account making it more accessible.  And with most people checking their email daily it is a way in which Buzz may attract large numbers of users. Facebook recently indicated that 25 percent of its users – or roughly 100 million – primarily access Facebook via mobile methods. By using your location, Google Buzz can also help to identify your updates. If you are in a nice restaurant having a meal for instance and you update your status with “having a lovely steak with…” you can actually pinpoint where you are eating. You can also read what other people have written about the places in close proximity to your current location.

With Google Buzz a user can also email people outside of Buzz within the same window which isn’t currently available on Twitter or Facebook.

Since the release, there have been 160,000 new posts per hour and with 38 million gmail users in the US alone (8 million more than the whole of Twitter), this may just be a reason for Twitter and Facebook to take Google Buzz seriously.

At Cite we’ve been specialising in this field for some time and have therefore decided to create a micro-site of our own to promote the work we can do in these areas.

Cite recently developed our first Facebook application for a major international credit card company, we can’t show you explicit screen shots for contractual reasons, but please feel free to call us on 0116 2549888 to find out more.

The new site can be found at www.facebook-designers.com – have a look and let us know what you think.
