But all will have the same capabilities. So new bells and whistles are that users can search in segments, replicate export field choices and enjoy an improved group editing process.
Also step-by-step instructions have been added in a pop-up to the Edit field for Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows users so they can add macrons to elongate the 'a' and 'u' of Maori words. This has bedevilled all who are concerned to honour Maori as our other official language, and our programmers are to be congratulated for tweaking the Unicode we use as text-only to accommodate these particular diacritics. Newsdesks don't like HTML or attachments so there is motivation to stay text-only.
But of course you still can't copy a Word file to text-only and expect your 99s and 66s inverted commas to stay intact —machine code, used by all computers to receive text-only has severe limitations.
Segment search is useful if you want to pick specialists out of the collection of freelancers to add to a target list covering that: topic. The program will pull interests out of their personal profiles and present their names for addition to the group in Selected Media. Just remember to hit the Update Group button to confirm changes.
Also Downloading (sometimes known as Exporting) has been made easier: choose your Download fields and they'll be remembered for next time.
Read-only has been added as a product option, useful as a teaching aid where students need to understand the structure of the media. Read-only in this context means Downloading and Despatch are closed, but group composition can be shared.
Over recent months we've been researching Oceania — all the neighbour nations from Guam to Rapa Nui. So MediaOceaniaOnline is on the web and will soon be a marketable product. The temptation is to think about islands in the Pacific as being small, scattered and commercially insignificant. But French Polynesia includes Tahiti and her islands with a GDP of USD4.6billion and New Caledonia at USD3.15billion. Then there's Fiji at USD5.6billion, Hawaii over USD39billion, Guam at USD2.5billion, and the Cooks with USD183.2million . Compare New Zealand at USD70billion and it concentrates the mind a bit.
On the monitoring front our full-cycle product is now available so that invoices can be combined into one per month to cover all. A button on our Edit screen links to the Media Monitors newsroom so clients with the full-cycle service can send story and target groups to the monitoring company and can receive a per release report as part of the monitoring/analysis package.
