Midwest Communities Find GateKeeper Social Media Strategy to be Simple, Cost-Effective, and Successful

GateKeeper custom-designed strategy puts communities in control of their online economic development presence.

2011-11-03

LITTLE FALLS, MN, November 03, 2011 (Press-News.org) GateKeeper is proving to be the "difference-maker" for communities who are serious about moving their social media strategy forward.

Social media is gaining traction as a PR tool for communities who wish to attract new businesses. As a content medium, social media is efficient, instantaneous, and popular. Social media is also time-consuming and daunting for communities strapped for time and resources. GateKeeper, from Golden Shovel Agency, will make social media implementation manageable.

According to company president Ron Kresha: "The key to our GateKeeper service is our experienced and knowledgeable support staff. Most companies are just setting up the tools. We make sure the tools are working and then we continually support users to be successful. We simply don't accept failure."

Golden Shovel is a Minnesota-based Web development firm specializing in online tools for economic and community development. GateKeeper Social Management is a new and progressive social media service that focuses on building strategic relationships, promoting tourism, and converting community interest into leads, prospects, and new business growth.

The Web development firm also launched another revolutionary tool, Economic Gateway, late last year. The first-of-its Web system, which infuses an innovative new SAAS Web framework with GIS-Based site selector tool, allows Greater America to compete in the global marketplace.

Software to prevent abuse at the click of a mouse

2011-11-03

Investigators estimate that there are currently more than 15 million photographs of child abuse victims circulating on the Internet. By the time this material has been tracked down and deleted, pedophiles have long since downloaded it to their computers. Many are avid data collectors: when suspects' data media are confiscated, detectives must often click their way through hundreds of thousands of files to find the illegal images they seek. An extremely time-consuming process – until now. Because researchers working with Dr. Bertram Nickolay of the Fraunhofer Institute for ...

A living factory

2011-11-03

As soon as DNA is mentioned, we automatically think of biology and living beings. It is the DNA molecule found inside each and every cell that holds the encoded blueprints for humans, animals or plants. But factories too have a master plan of this kind. All modern manufacturing facilities resemble living organisms in their complex structure. And, just as in biology, all their constituent parts are linked to one another and have to be painstakingly coordinated. Now, the Fraunhofer Institute for Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation IOSB in Karlsruhe has taken ...

With flu season just around the corner, scientists are reporting development of a new material for the fiber in face masks, air conditioning filters and air cleaning filters that captures influenza viruses before they can get into people's eyes, noses and mouths and cause infection. The report on the fiber appears in ACS' journal Biomacromolecules.

Benefits of nut consumption for people with abdominal obesity, high blood sugar, high blood pressure

2011-11-03

For the first time, scientists report a link between eating nuts and higher levels of serotonin in the bodies of patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS), who are at high risk for heart disease. Serotonin is a substance that helps transmit nerve signals and decreases feelings of hunger, makes people feel happier and improves heart health. It took only one ounce of mixed nuts (raw unpeeled walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts) a day to produce the good effects. The report appears in ACS' Journal of Proteome Research. Cristina Andrés-Lacueva and colleagues from the Biomarkers ...

Peatland carbon storage is stabilized against catastrophic release of carbon

2011-11-03

Concerns that global warming may have a domino effect —unleashing 600 billion tons of carbon in vast expanses of peat in the Northern hemisphere and accelerating warming to disastrous proportions — may be less justified than previously thought. That's the conclusion of a new study on the topic in ACS' journal Environmental Science & Technology. Christian Blodau and colleagues explain that peat bogs — wet deposits of partially decayed plants that are the source of gardeners' peat moss and fuel — hold about one-third of the world's carbon. Scientists have been concerned ...

Online Auto Insurance: Delaware Recoveries Underscore Importance of Regulators

2011-11-03

The Delaware Insurance Department's recent announcement that it has recovered nearly $2 million this year for auto, homeowner and other policyholders in that state exemplifies the work regulators carry out on behalf of consumers nationwide, according to Online Auto Insurance (OAI). For the average person, filing a claim on a low cost car insurance policy and then trying to work out a settlement with a large insurer can be a daunting task. But regulatory agencies in every state can help residents settle claims that might otherwise never be paid. A vehicle policy is ...

When the fat comes out of food, what goes in?

2011-11-03

When fat, sugar and gluten come out of salad dressings, sauces, cookies, beverages, and other foods with the new genre of package labels shouting what's not there, what goes into "light" or "-free" versions of products to make them taste like the original version? The answers appear in the cover story in the current edition of Chemical & Engineering News, ACS' weekly newsmagazine. In the article Melody Bombgardner, C&EN Senior Business Editor, explains that food processors usually face the problem of reproducing the texture or "mouth feel" of products that have cut back ...

Video game playing tied to creativity

2011-11-03

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Both boys and girls who play video games tend to be more creative, regardless of whether the games are violent or nonviolent, according to new research by Michigan State University scholars. A study of nearly 500 12-year-olds found that the more kids played video games, the more creative they were in tasks such as drawing pictures and writing stories. In contrast, use of cell phones, the Internet and computers (other than for video games) was unrelated to creativity, the study found. Linda Jackson, professor of psychology and lead researcher on ...
