Vision Internet Launches Social Networking Component for Local Governments
Vision Internet recently launched OneClick Social Networking. This component combines updates for all social networking profiles with one click - catering to the increasing trend of local governments maintaining profiles on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
Online, January 21, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Vision Internet announced the launch of the visionGov2.0 OneClick Social Networking component. This innovative new component is fully integrated into the Vision Content Management System and allows users to instantaneously update their website and social networking profiles.
The creation of OneClick Social Networking came in response to a growing increase in municipal involvement on social networking websites. Government staff members were finding it difficult to devote enough time and energy into broadcasting information across the many different online platforms available to them. With these efficiency objectives in mind, the experts at Vision Internet created a powerful communications tool that incorporates the user-friendly interface of the Vision CMS. The ability to easily and efficiently provide Facebook fans with updates, Twitter followers with feeds, and keep website visitors informed through multiple web channels can now be a reality for Vision CMS users.
The new component promises to help save precious staff time and resources, by eliminating the duplication of content posting efforts. Other key benefits are retention of the data which addresses government records issues ("sunshine laws") and the ability to post to social network sites that may otherwise be blocked by an agency's firewall.
To demonstrate the capabilities of this new component, Vision Internet is providing interested parties with a free webinar on their website at www.visioninternet.com/webinar.
