Helpstream, a leading provider of on-demand collaborative customer service solutions, today announced the general availability of the Helpstream Summer 2008 release, which contains over 130 enhancements to help companies understand customer attitudes, tap into community knowledge, and build winning relationships. By further integrating case management, knowledge management, and community collaboration, companies can leverage the power and familiarity of the Web to engage their customers in a rich, collaborative self service experience.

“Many companies turn to call deflection as a way to deal with increasing service demand, but in doing so they fail to engage the customer at a point where their attitudes and needs are conspicuously obvious,” said Anthony Nemelka, CEO of Helpstream. “By placing Community at the forefront of customer service, Helpstream enables anyone in a company or its community to be an effective customer service agent. This truly modern approach significantly expands the pool of knowledge available to each user by leveraging the Internet for what it does best connecting people to information quickly and effectively.”

The challenge for many companies is that their interaction with customers is too often one dimensional centered on resolving issues and ending the interaction. Consumer familiarity with Web 2.0 tools has led to higher expectations. Helpstream provides a convenient and affordable alternative to this one-size-fits-all service approach and helps companies embrace the web-enabled world to build customer loyalty through relationships.

Helpstream is an approachable application designed to engage users in a company’s customer community with an easy to learn and use interface, while offering internal service organizations the same benefits combined with ease of administration and a low cost deployment model.

The Helpstream Summer 2008 release continues to build on this idea by leveraging end-user familiarity with common office productivity tools, such as email and calendaring software.

Scales, 52, has served as iCrossing’s president and chief operating for two years. He joined the company in 2006 as COO, adding title of president two months later. Herzog, who founded iCrossing 10 years ago, will remain on the company’s board of directors, serving as vice chairman.

The move marks a changing of the guard at iCrossing, which in a decade has grown from a small Scottsdale, Ariz., search shop to a 620-person digital agency. The company has fueled much of its growth through an aggressive acquisition strategy over the past two years. It has bought five companies, expanding its services from its search optimization roots into search advertising, analytics and Web development.

Scales has led the company’s efforts to integrate the acquired companies into a cohesive organization since. After acquiring Web development shop Proxicom in July 2007, iCrossing adopted that firm’s national service model, replacing a regional delivery model. It has also rebranded the shops it acquired under the iCrossing name and is working to bundle services to clients. ICrossing boasts 40 clients in the Fortune 500.

Richard Rosenblatt, chairman of iCrossing, said the move represents a natural progression for Scales since he has proven his merit in the past two years, during which he assumed day-to-day management of the firm. The next step for the agency: a public offering.

“This is a company that goes public in a couple of years,” Rosenblatt said, noting market conditions and the company’s evolution and growth would determine the exact timing.

Prior to joining iCrossing, Scales held executive roles at Omnicom Group’s Agency.com for three years, including two as CEO. He resigned in 2006 following a dispute with Omnicom management over aligning Agency.com with TBWA Worldwide. He has since brought over several Agency.com executives, including chief strategy officer Adam Lavelle, chief financial officer Mike Jackson and evp of operations Dave Johnson.

MindTouch is releasing today a new version of its Deki Wiki open-source Wiki tool software which makes it much easier to manage web content in multiple languages.

The MindTouch Deki Wiki v8.05 is a Web Development based Wiki platform that lets web development teams build web pages that are much easier to create and maintain. One of its interesting new features is “polyglot support.” With it, a developer can use the Deki Wiki tool to post updates in multiple languages.

This means a web developer can integrate multiple languages into a single site, rather than create a separate site for each language. In addition, users visiting the site can search across all languages, with the search results prioritized to that user’s language.

The developer can use the tool to design a web page in English. They can then include a button that switches the user to that same page in another language. The user-interface for the page stays the Web Development same, but the words are in a different language.

Mozilla, maker of the Firefox web browser, plans on using Deki Wiki for the Mozilla Development Center, the site where Mozilla manages its community of developers. That’s important for open-source developers such as Mozilla, which has thousands of developers around the world.

“This is particularly good for Wiki-style collaborations,” said Aaron Fulkerson, CEO of San Diego, Calif.-based MindTouch, in an interview. It’s also good for platform companies who work with a variety of application developers as well as enterprises that are tapping their customers for development support.

Beyond polyglot support, the software also makes it easy for developers to upload images, videos and other files to a web site. It’s also easy to transform content from one kind of format to Web Development another, as needed to make the content compatible with a web page’s given design.

The 25-employee company started in 2005, released its first version in 2006 and then another version in 2007. Fulkerson said the company has bootstrapped the financing and is likely to delay raising a round of venture capital because the business growth is strong. He said the company gives away the tool for free but sells enterprise subscriptions for those who need support. The Web Development closest competitors are IBM and Oracle’s BEA.

In December, Dana Neil Oaklund, of Fort Lauderdale, began streaming live video on the Internet from a laptop in his SUV to assure his customers that their cargo was safe. What he didn’t expect was that dozens of people would get a kick out of seeing him stuck in traffic in California or cruising between snow-covered mountains in Colorado.

“It just blows my mind,” said Oaklund, who escorts oversize loads, while parked in San Diego. “Right now there are 33 people who think this is interesting enough to watch. A lot of people tell me, ‘Oh, wow, this is cool because I am getting to see the country without leaving my desk.’ ”

Oaklund is a “lifecaster,” one of a growing number of people creating their own reality shows by broadcasting live for a few minutes or hours at a time from their computers or cell phones. Unlike videos uploaded to YouTube, lifecasters are inviting viewers into their world to see what they see, comment on it and ask questions, all in real time.

Broadcasting live from a webcam is nothing new, but what makes services such as Justin.tv, Ustream.tv and Yahoo Live (live.yahoo.com) different is that technology has evolved to the point where practically anyone can stream live from almost anywhere and interact with people who are watching.

You don’t need to be a technical genius or even have your own Web page. And with the spread of wireless Internet and the fact that webcams have become a standard feature on many new computers, you might not even have to buy anything.

Oaklund, 40, uses a mobile broadband connection to broadcast as the “Master Roadcaster” on Justin.tv. People tune in from all over the world to laugh at his jokes, make comments about other drivers, tell him to slow down or suggest hotels for him. While driving, he glances at the computer screen when it’s safe and speaks into a headset to respond to questions and comments. He usually has 15 to 100 people watching.

“People are already looking at video online, so wouldn’t it be funny if you could watch a funny video clip and you could tell the person doing it, ‘Hey, do that again’?” said Michael Seibel, CEO of Justin.tv.

Seibel started Justin.tv in 2006 with three friends to live-broadcast co-founder Justin Kan 24/7 as he walked around San Francisco with a camera attached to his hat. In October, the site opened to everyone, and it now has more than 430,000 registered users, about 34,000 of whom are broadcasters.

Britta Seisums, 18, typically streams live from her red-polka-dot-covered bedroom for about four hours after school each weekday. She plays games with viewers, dances to pop songs, hangs out with her friends, talks about school and curses out people who come into the chat room and are rude.

Seisums has been creating her own Web sites since she was about 10 and wants to work in Web development. “I keep the camera on as much as possible, but I like to have privacy. If I don’t want to be on camera, then I put the camera on my animals.”

In recent episodes, she has bathed her guinea pigs, painted a video-game console and accidentally spilled soda on her laptop.

Is South Korea a graveyard for overseas Internet companies? American Internet heavies such as Google, YouTube and MySpace, leaders of the so-called “web 2.0″ frenzy, face heavy odds in South Korea. Why is it that these companies boast astronomical numbers of subscribers and users in many other markets around the Web Development Tutorial world but find little luck here?

MySpace, the world’s largest online social network, launched a Korean service last week, but local portal and blog users have given the new service the cold shoulder. “I signed up out of curiosity, but I canceled my membership soon after because I found it un-user friendly,” a Korean blogger reported. Another blogger said, “MySpace isn’t new or interesting for Korean users who are already familiar with online communities like Cyworld.”

Google and YouTube are also having a hard time here. Since it launched its Korean-language service in 2006, Google, the Web Development Tutorial world’s top Internet search engine, has earned a mere 2 percent-range share of the local Internet portal market. YouTube launched a Korean-language service in January. But while the world’s largest video sharing website boasts about 30 million visitors per month in the U.S., in Korea it has only about one-tenth the number of users as PandoraTV, South Korea’s No. 1 video sharing website.

Experts say the foreign challengers have failed to understand the peculiarities of the South Korean market. Their quality suffers in comparison to local offerings in terms of Korean-language features, site design and sophistication of services, South Korean experts argue.

In addition, South Korean Internet users generally tend to be uninterested in services from abroad. AFP reported recently, “South Korea is one of the world’s most wired countries, with some 70 percent of homes having high-speed Internet access. But it has largely shunned popular overseas services.”

Since 2004, there has been no notable change in the rankings of the local portal market, where Naver tops the list. Cho Il-sang, CEO of MetriX, an online survey agency, said, “Overseas web service providers should be more sincere in approaching the Korean market, so that their participation in the Web Development Tutorial market can give a wholesome impetus to the development of the Korean Internet industry.”

Cisco last week released specifics of its previously announced innovation and sustainability initiative for China.

The initiative includes research and development, education, procurement, investment and training, Cisco chairman and CEO John Chambers said in an Web Development Live announcement in Beijing.

“The next stage of our strategy for China reflects the country’s importance to Cisco’s global growth strategy and to our long-term business model, built upon next-generation innovation in collaboration and Web 2.0 technologies,” said Chambers.

“Cisco’s public-private collaboration within China not only helps accelerate these business efforts, but also helps the 1.3 billion people and growing number of entrepreneurs within the country gain access to social and economic opportunities afforded by the internet.”

The move also included the appointment of Jim Sherriff, previously Cisco’s senior vice-president of global operations, to the newly created position of chairman, Cisco China.

According to a press release regarding the initiative, a memorandum between Cisco and China’s National Development and Web Development Live Reform Commission is intended to “extend cooperation in the areas of manufacturing and service outsourcing, next-generation internet, venture investment, training and development, as well as environmentally focused research and development including energy efficiency, emission reduction and network-based green urban development”.

A similar memorandum between Cisco and China’s Ministry of Commerce will see the vendor work with the ministry to help implement the Thousand-Hundred-Ten Project for China’s business process operations industry.

The program will see Cisco provide training to improve the skills of Web Development Live employees in Chinese companies.
