Tags are "Awesome"!

It was a long, snowy winter here in New Hampshire, which means our Developers were basically snowbound and were able to create some great new enhancements to our ClipIQ product.  One of my favorite new features is the ability to "Tag" a clip.  By adding a Tag or Tags to the news and blog clips that our system aggregates, customers have a simple, yet powerful way to work with thier clips. 

Some of our clients are using it as a rating system.  They are tagging clips as Positive, Slightly Positive, Neutral, Slightly Negative and Negative.  They can then easily retrieve their clips and generate reports off the Tagged clips.  Other clients are using it as a simple way to group similar clips by product or company, or by competition or partner. As with most successful features in a product, the customers are finding new and different ways to use the feature every day.

The exciting thing for our Development team is to see that the users are really using their features, which means their hard work has paid off and is appreciated.  In fact, you could see them beaming with excitement when one of our customers was quoted as saying, "That's Awesome" after using the Tags.

You know, I might be biased, but I agree with them.  Tags are pretty awesome!

ClipIQ 5.0 - New Features for All!

I am very excited to tell you that we’ve launched a new version of our online news clipping service. As we expand our product line, we felt it best to give our clipping service its own name. And since we think it makes clip search and analysis smarter, we’re calling it ClipIQ.

But it’s not just a name. The product not only looks better – with a totally redesigned user interface – it provides new functionality for every customer. Users now have access to enhanced clip sorting to make finding clips easier, additional reporting options for more media measurement options, and a customizable design to continue with our promise to deliver a truly custom solution for every client.

This new version also allows us to offer our media database – Media Bullseye – to all ClipIQ customers. This expansive database of media contact information would appear as another tab within the client’s account.

If you’ve tried our product in the past, I encourage you to test drive it again. I think you’ll enjoy the intuitive interface and additional functionality.
