 Whether you have a large scale, enterprise-level, network of sites or require a simpler, single site; Platformic has solutions to meet a variety of needs. If not having a dedicated web staff has prevented you from keeping the content on your site fresh and current, Platformic makes it easy and secure. Our system allows more people to contribute, while enabling you to lock down the parts of the site you do not want modified.

Our foundation is in the radio business, from the CTO to the majority of our staff. In the past, many of our customers had to use multiple tools and various vendors to deliver the web property their listeners expected. With Platformic, all the tools you need are built in and easily used by all staff members. Working with Platformic gives your organization access to years of experience and best practices gained from launching hundreds of radio properties.

Radio stations find the following tools most useful on their sites:
  • Audio podcast feeds
  • Contest forms and user registration
  • Calendar and events tool
  • Scheduled content feeds
  • Blogs for personalities and community events

"Big web development companies have a lot invested in the status quo. That's why a  smaller company such as Platformic runs past them at lighting speed. Platformic offers a brilliant content management system which is especially sweet for media companies. Upload your video once... the site converts it to flash... and then you post it on multiple pages! Want a website live in 30-days? No problem. In fact, I don't think the word "problem" exists in the Platformic lexicon. Test drive Platformic and see for yourself what made me a believer."

Here at the Platformic blog it's a pretty loose forum. While I don't really think that anyone is going to post a blog about their cats (well, maybe Eric might ...) we post about a range of stuff that might be of interest to a client of a CMS or someone looking to work on websites and although Platformic does not provide graphic design services we do work with a host of people who might be interested in graphics and for certain who at some times might use Photoshop so I wanted to share something that I learned today which blew me away (and I have been using Photoshop for 15 years now!)
Google recently announced that it has acquired a social RSS service called Postrank which is a huge indication of their commitment to their social strategy. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this move is an indicator that social media and services continue to have a very big impact on the web as we know it today. The future will surely continue down the social road.

So what does Postrank do anyway? Here's a quote straight form their web site on the subject:

"Our platform tracks where and how users engage, and what they pay attention to — in real-time. PostRank social engagement data measures actual user activity, the most accurate indicator of the relevance and influence of a site, story, or author."
As sure as the sun will rise in the morning, your site users are going to end up hitting a 404 error page at some point or another. But what you provide them when they hit that pages can actually tell a lot about your site, and can help turn your what is technically a fail for the user into a win, if done properly.

By definition (remember when definition was pulled from encyclopedia rather than wikipedia? I guess I am dating myself somewhat here), a 404 page is:

"The 404 or Not Found error message is a HTTP standard response code indicating that the client was able to communicate with the server, but the server could not find what was requested. 404 errors should not be confused with "server not found" or similar errors, in which a connection to the destination server could not be made at all. A 404 error indicates that the requested resource may be available again in the future."
