<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Coming soon to the market from Sinclaire Motorsport, our own range of in-house developed gauge/engine monitor systems, which can be customised to read from any signal or source you may require. The gauges take the form of a small LCD display (different sizes may be available to cater for differing amounts of information required). Hardware and Firmware design is all carried out on site, so entirely custom applications can be easily catered for.</p>
<p>Currently at prototype testing stage, we are now looking to finalise case designs and standard applications.<br />
Advantages of our system over our competitors are...</p>
<ul>
<li>Superior screen refresh speed gives true real-time display</li>
<li>Totally custom one-off applications easily catered for</li>
<li>Almost any combination of sensors can be displayed, and data used mathematically (ie, MAP vs. EMAP)</li>
<li>Small footprint units take minimal cabin space (essential for Elise applications!)</li>
<li>"Night-mode" - the gauge lies dormant until it needs to alert the user</li>
<li>Upto five sensors can be read and displayed</li>
</ul>
<p>Want to know more about these? Discuss a custom application or any other electronic control/measurement/display project? Email : dan@sinclairemotorsport.com</p>

<p>This has been a busy week with plenty of trips into London town for the <a href="http://www.retailsolutions2008.com/">Retail Solutions</a> show at Excel and the <a href="http://www.europeanretailsolutionsawards.com/welcome.asp?m_pid=0&#38;m_nid=26324">European Retail Solutions Awards</a>.</p>
<p>I enjoyed my journey out of the office to the show immensely, arrived at Canary Wharf by boat then got the DLR over to Excel where I met up with our account manager from <a href="http://www.emap.com/">EMAP</a>.  EMAP publishes <a href="http://www.retail-week.com/Technology/2008/06/house_of_fraser_to_link_suppliers_to_data_pool.html;jsessionid=E5BECBF8100B322D7F748F3949E1A126">Retail Week</a>, where we had a wonderful article placed on our <a title="Inovis data sync house of fraser" href="http://www.inovis.co.uk/index.html">Data Sync </a>deal with <a href="http://www.houseoffraser.co.uk/">House of Fraser</a>, written by Joanna Perry.</p>

<strong>Four Murdoch magazines that have come and gone - now <em>Love It!</em> is under threat</strong></p>
<p>News International is understood to be set to close its consumer magazine division, after it made a loss of nearly £10m, <a href="http://www.brandrepublic.com/MediaWeek/News/Magazines/817190/News-Magazines-faces-threat-closure-losing-10m/" target="_blank"><em>Media Week</em></a> reports.</p>
<p>The Chelsea-based unit was set up in 2005 to launch women's weekly <em>Love It!</em> Plans for other mooted titles, such as a <a href="http://www.magforum.com/news_magazines.htm#mur">news weekly</a> and a second women's magazine failed to come to fruition. However, it did wrest the contract to publish seven million-circulation contract magazine <em>Sky Magazine</em> for its parent from John Brown. It also took back the contract for monthly paid-for title <em>Sunday Times Travel</em> from River Publishing.</p>
<p>If it does close the division, it won't the first time Murdoch's UK empire has lost enthusiasm for (and a lot of money on) magazines. In the mid-1980s it launched <a href="http://www.magforum.com/glossies/easy.htm#ell"><em>Elle</em></a>, and <a href="http://www.magforum.com/1975_89.htm#sky"><em>Sky</em> </a>in partnership with Hachette, both of which were sold to Emap and <a href="http://www.magforum.com/glossies/harper.htm#mir"><em>Mirabella</em></a> (launched 1990, closed 1991). <a href="http://www.magforum.com/1975_89.htm#tvg"><em>TV Guide</em></a> was another failed offering in that period.</p>
<p>More recently, <em>Inside Out</em> had another short tenure on the shelves (1996-97).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The following is a longer version of <a href="http://www.journalism.co.uk/7/articles/531439.php">the article that appeared in Journalism.co.uk last week</a>, with some extra tools and quotes.</em></p>
<p>It's almost impossible to sum up <a class="zem_slink" title="Twitter" rel="homepage" href="http://www.twitter.com" target="_blank">Twitter</a> in one line. To some, it is a way of delivering content to mobiles as headline text alerts. To others, it's a social networking tool for getting contacts and leads. Some use it as a research tool for developing stories; and still others as a project management tool to gather a number of contributors together - for example, <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/commuter_feed_twitter_mashup.php">drivers posting updates on traffic</a>.</p>
<p>In other words, it is what you make it and the only way to figure it out is to start using it. The following is a guide to getting started on Twitter as a journalist, and some of the things that can be done with it.<!--more--></p>
<h2>Twitter for newsgathering</h2>
<p>Contacts are central to a journalist's work. Twitter makes it easier to find them. But whereas, for instance, <a class="zem_slink" title="Facebook" rel="homepage" href="http://www.facebook.com/" target="_blank">Facebook</a> requires someone to accept you as their 'friend' before you get updates; you can follow people on Twitter regardless. It's where blogging meets social networking.<!--more--></p>
<p>The more people you follow on Twitter, the more likely you are to come across a lead or a useful contact. News of <a href="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/earthquake_in_uk_news_broken_on_twitter.php">the recent UK earthquake, for example, broke first on Twitter</a>, while last year news of a fire in <a href="http://blogs.journalism.co.uk/editors/2007/11/12/breaking-news-coverage-on-twitter-of-fire-in-east-london/">East London broke there too</a>. And even as I type this, someone I know at St Pancras station has <a href="http://twitter.com/Cybersoc/statuses/791061095">twittered that it is being evacuated</a>. You might also use <a href="http://www.twitterverse.com/">Twitterverse</a> or <a href="http://picobuzz.com/">PicoBuzz </a>to spot important phrases (e.g. events).</p>
<p>Here's a simple ticklist to fill your Twitter contacts book:</p>
<ol>
<li>Obviously you should begin by searching Twitter for people you know, or know <em>of</em>, in your field. The <a href="http://twitter.com/uklabour">Labour Party</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/libdems">Lib Dems</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/Conservatives">Conservatives </a>all have their own Twitter accounts, for example, as do <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2007/may/17/guardianweeklytechnologysection.socialnetworking">some politicians</a>. But beware of hoaxers. <a href="http://twitter.com/chucknorris">This isn't really Chuck Norris</a>, for example. <em>Is it?</em></li>
<li>Then, look at who they're following (I find entering someone's username on <a href="http://www.gridjit.com/">Gridjit </a>is the best way of seeing someone's contacts and what they're saying, or you can <a href="http://quotably.com/">use Quotably</a> to follow their conversations).</li>
<li>Then try <a href="http://www.chrisfinke.com/twitslikeme/">Twits Like Me</a> to find people with similar interests (based on what you've twittered)</li>
<li>and <a href="http://www.crazybob.org/twubble/">Twubble </a>(based on your friends) or<a href="http://www.whoshouldifollow.com/"> Who Should I Follow?</a> (which allows you to adjust according to whether you want people nearer your location or more or less popular)</li>
<li>and <a href="http://www.tweetscan.com/">Tweetscan</a> for key words (e.g. "health", "NHS").</li>
<li>Finally <a href="http://www.twitterlocal.net/">Twitterlocal</a> will help you find twitterers in your local area.</li>
<li>You can also find <a href="http://twitterpacks.pbwiki.com/">a list of significant Twitter users in various fields at the Twitter Pack Project</a>. However, as this is a wiki there is a risk that people have added themselves. It's also US-focused.</li>
</ol>
<p><a class="zem_slink" title="Birmingham Post" rel="homepage" href="http://icbirmingham.co.uk/birminghampost" target="_blank">The Birmingham Post</a>, and particularly reporter Jo Geary, are leading Twitter-users among regional newspapers. She sees it as a great way of building a relationship with your contacts and target audience.</p>
<blockquote><p>"It's not just popping in, getting something, and popping out, but building something more. And because of that it's also become a support network of people who help me, and vice versa. It moves into the crowdsourcing thing - if you want to do something you can put out questions and get answers."</p></blockquote>
<p>It's all part of the wider move of journalism to becoming a conversation with readers. Abbie Lundberg, for instance, <a href="http://advice.cio.com/abbie_lundberg/the_business_value_of_twitter">wrote one article</a> by soliciting tweets on the topic from her followers. Nico Luchsinger even <a href="http://150worte.ch/blog/?p=219">conducted his interview with me via Twitter</a> (which gave me the unique experience of being interviewed while shopping in Tesco.)</p>
<h3>Managing your Twitter feeds</h3>
<p>Once you've set up all those contacts, it's useful to create some filters to help manage the incoming information. <a href="http://www.gridjit.com/">Gridjit</a>, again, has a clearer interface for viewing tweets. Desktop applications like <a href="http://www.twhirl.org/">Twhirl </a>will give you an audio alert; <a href="http://getsnitter.com/">Snitter </a>allows you to filter your tweets - for key words or tweets containing links for instance. You can also set up pages to organise tweets from 'crowds' of twitterers (for example, friends, colleagues, contacts) using <a href="http://crowdstatus.com/Default.aspx">Crowdstatus.com</a>.</p>
<p>You can - and should - set up Twitter to send updates to your mobile phone (click on 'add device' or look in settings). It's free, and is particularly useful for following what's happening while you're on the move. But pick your sources carefully - Twitter will only send 250 updates per week, and it's easy to hit that.</p>
<p>The first thing you should do once you've set up Twitter to send text alerts is to text Twitter the word "track" followed by your username. This means Twitter will text you whenever anyone mentions your username on Twitter - very useful for picking up messages aimed at you. You can use the same trick to track mentions of key words in your area, such as a key employer or your own organisation (<a href="http://twitter.com/help/lingo">More tips on mobile commands can be found here</a>). If you prefer email alerts, <a href="http://www.mobifeedlive.com/">MobiFeedLive.com</a> and <a href="http://www.davidsterry.com/tweetscan">Tweet Scan</a> (not to be confused with Tweetscan) provide them.</p>
<p>You can also follow links that are getting passed about a lot on Twitter though <a href="http://twitterbuzz.com/">Twitterbuzz</a> and <a href="http://twitturly.com/">Twitt(url)y</a>. While <a href="http://twist.flaptor.com/">Twist</a> is a pretty impressive equivalent of Google Trends (<em>from comments</em>).</p>
<h2>Twitter for news publishing, distribution and creation</h2>
<p>If you want an idea of what Twitter can do for news publishing check out <a href="http://twitter.com/breakingnewson">BreakingNewsOn</a>. Headline alerts of breaking news that people can receive on their mobiles are the most obvious application, and used by dozens of organisations including the <a href="http://twitter.com/tw/search/users?q=bbc">BBC</a>, the <a href="http://twitter.com/guardiannews">Guardian </a>and <a href="http://twitter.com/cnnbrk">CNN</a> (<a href="http://red66.com/2008/02/a-list-of-news-organizations-using-twitter/">This post has a list of news organisations using Twitter</a>). It's a good way of alerting people to your content, as well as inviting participation, as Emap's David Cushman <a href="http://twitter.com/davidcushman/statuses/794948694">recently tweeted</a>: "Comments on my blog are going mad. Nothing has changed except I now use twitter regularly."</p>
<p>Many newspapers have separate Twitter accounts for different sections, such as <a href="http://twitter.com/OregonianBiz%20">business</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/OregonianTraff%20">traffic</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/OregonianSports%20">sports</a>. Sky even have one for <a href="http://twitter.com/MadeleineNews">news about Madeleine McCann</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://twitterfeed.com/">Twitterfeed </a>will save you typing updates by pushing RSS feeds from your newspaper to a Twitter account, but this means you have to write the article first and risk missing the scoop. Instead it's better to 'tweet' (post to Twitter) <em>before </em>you write the article - ensuring you get to the top of Google quickly, <a href="http://blogs.birminghampost.net/news/2008/04/how-the-birmingham-post-scoope.html">as Birmingham Post editor Marc Reeves did with the arrest of Karren Brady</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>"I'm only followed by 30 people or so ... But these people are all ... in the business of sharing information and knowledge. Consequently, a number of them followed my link to the story on the Post website, and started to talk about it on their own blogs and again through Twitter, with the effect that the Post site received an incredible number of hits as word spread."</p></blockquote>
<p>If you really want to track how many people are clicking on any of your links you can also use <a href="http://tweetburner.com/">Tweetburner</a> (or <a href="http://twitturly.com/">Twitt(url)y</a> to see what they're saying if they pass it on). Or you can use <a href="http://intwition.com/">Intwition </a>to see who's linking to a particular domain.</p>
<p>Twitter is particularly useful for journalists reporting live via text message themselves. <a href="http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1310773,00.html">Sky reporter Julia Reid recently used it to post her "minute-by-minute" experiences at Heathrow's Terminal 5</a>. Robert LaHue <a href="http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2008/04/02/twitter-what-are-you-doing-in-your-newsroom-what-would-you-like-to-do/">used it "to semi-liveblog a board meeting via texting</a>" and it's often <a href="http://blog.abrenna.com/twitter-journalism/">used at conferences</a> and events. You can also download applications that allow you to update Twitter from your mobile - <a href="http://www.simplehelp.net/2008/04/16/20-ways-to-use-twitter-on-your-cell-phone-or-mobile-internet-device/">this article compares 20 of them</a>.</p>
<h2>Going beyond 140 characters</h2>
<p>And if you're frustrated by the 140 character limit try some of these tools:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://shorttext.com/twitzer.aspx">Twitzer </a>is a Firefox extension that allows you to write tweets over 140 characters. <a href="http://www.messagedance.com/twittermail">MessageDance </a>does much the same via email, and also allows comments on tweets.</li>
<li><a href="http://twi8r.com/">twi8r </a>translates text speak into 'English' and vice versa, allowing you to truncate your messages</li>

<p><img src="http://l.yimg.com/www.flickr.com/images/spaceball.gif" alt="" /><br />
But Twitter becomes really impressive when you tap into its social, conversational nature - or combine the RSS feeds from a number of twitterers. Shawn Smith used it to create the <a href="http://www.mlive.com/twitter/">Michigan Twitter Network</a>, which "follows more than 1,300 Michigan twitterers. We’ve gained about 200+ followers and use this account @mlive to send breaking news alerts and also poll users." (I've <a href="http://birminghambloggers.com/twitter/">created something similar for Birmingham twitterers</a>). In Spain, ADN.es used it to follow <a href="http://www.adn.es/politica/elecciones_2008/debate">voter reactions during a televised presidential candidate debate on TV</a>.</p>
<p>My <a href="http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2008/04/07/twitter-reviewing-some-reflections/">recent experiment with, of all things, a live book review on Twitter</a> demonstrated that the boundary between publishing and conversation becomes blurred when you use the technology - confusing if you're bothered about semantics, but encouraging if you're interested in positive relationships between the journalist and reader.</p>
<p>At the end of the day, Twitter is just a platform. What I've outlined here is just the start, and <a href="http://twitter.pbwiki.com/Apps">there are plenty of experiments being done</a> - the really interesting stuff starts when you try something completely new...<a href="http://red66.com/2008/02/a-list-of-news-organizations-using-twitter/"><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had an email recently from the Editor of <a class="zem_slink" title="NME" rel="homepage" href="http://www.nme.com" target="_blank">NME</a>.com, David Moynihan, about <a href="http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2007/09/17/a-model-for-the-21st-century-newsroom-pt1-the-news-diamond/">the News Diamond</a> in practice. I thought it was worth reprinting in full:</p>
<blockquote><p>"You describe much of what I do for a living: I am the  Editor of NME.com and work in a buzzing cross-platform environment that mirrors  your theories. Now that the dust is starting to settle a bit more in digital  publishing, <span class="zem_slink">publishers</span> are really taking notice of websites and web staff in  ways that would have been unimaginable a few years ago.<!--more--></p>
<p>"The challenge was  always convincing paper staff that we were colleagues not rivals, here to  compliment and expand upon their work, rather than cannibalise or undermine it.  For the first time, in 2007/08 I have print staff coming and asking me about how  they can get more involved with <span class="zem_slink">web publishing</span> and asking what they need to know  or do. People are really starting to wake up to the exciting future of digital  publishing – right across organisations like IPC (or <a class="zem_slink" title="EMAP" rel="homepage" href="http://www.emap.com" target="_blank">Emap</a>, where I was Editor of  FHM.com), from the board to the staff writer. That said, as a web editor I find  that the change in processes, skill sets and attitude is still much too slow.  The theories abound, but the practice is much more sluggish!</p>
<p>"Your news  diamond was fascinating as it fits closely with what we do.</p>
<p>"An example:  <a class="zem_slink" title="The Raconteurs" rel="homepage" href="http://www.theraconteurs.com/" target="_blank">The Raconteurs</a> (<a class="zem_slink" title="Jack White" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_White" target="_blank">Jack White</a> of <a class="zem_slink" title="The White Stripes" rel="homepage" href="http://www.whitestripes.com/" target="_blank">the White Stripes</a> ‘other’ band) release a new  album today, in an unusual manner. They have side-stepped the usual pormotional  and marketing moves and ruch-released the album with no warning, and therefore  no reviews. It almost makes journalism redundant. Fan can simply listen to the  album online at legal Mp3 download sites – why do they need NME?</p>
<p>"Except  they do, it turns out. To mark the release of the album we have done all of the  following on NME.com and the traffic speaks volumes about users’  needs:</p>
<ol>
<li>Daily  news stories in the run up to the release, covering a number of angles from  <span class="zem_slink">album artwork</span>, to release details to lyrics.</li>
<li>A Photo  Gallery of the band to mark the release.</li>
<li>An  instant review online, written by our writers in ‘blog’ format during their  first listen. The full in-depth review and a feature about the unusual method of  release will be in (yep, you guessed it) NME magazine, out this week.</li>
<li>Updated  our Artist page nme.com/artists/the-raconteurs.</li>
<li>Streamed the album online with our radio media player.</li>
<li>Video  to go online as soon as it’s released"</li>
</ol>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mike Soutar, publisher of weekly freebie <i>Shortlist </i>denies a claim from Alan Brydon, head of press communication at MPG, a media buyer, that 'the anecdotal evidence is unfortunately that they distribute [the magazine] to anybody and everybody who will take one.'</p>
<p>Soutar claims 82% of readers are in the ABC1 socioeconomic groups, but admits distributors have to judge age and wealth by appearance alone: 'If somebody who’s female or doesn’t seem to fit the demographic wants it, you can’t snatch it back off them.'</p>
<p>The title is expected to deliver a circulation figure of more than 460,000, almost double that of Bauer/Emap monthly <i>FHM</i> - of which Soutar was once editor-in-chief - in today's <a href="http://www.abc.org.uk/" target="_blank">ABC figures</a>.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, after some internal discussions and brainstorming, we've decided to name our surveillance software "π-Vu". "Vu" as obvious as it sounds and looks, it means "View" in French. We decided to use the mathematical constant "π", as it respresents the ratio of any circle circumstances. And putting these two words together, we're delivering a message that by using our software, you are able to get clear and vivid video around the area you are monitoring in. We think it's a great name and it is easy to remember.</p>

Bauer <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/feb/08/emap.pressandpublishing?gusrc=rss&#38;feed=media" target="_blank">is shutting</a> both struggling weekly <i>First</i> and monthly <i>New Woman</i>, its first acts since taking over Emap's consumer magazines - the news comes ahead of the release of the Jul-Dec ABC sales figures.</p>
<p><i>First</i> was launched in May 2006 but failed to meet its 150,000 sales target. It was closed for a month last year and relaunched in September as a more upmarket title. The last issue comes out on Tuesday. <a href="http://www.magforum.com/wom_week.htm">Women's weeklies profiled</a>.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.magforum.com/2006/nw_2006dec_110.jpg" alt="New Woman relaunch in 2006" height="151" width="110" /><i>New Woman</i> will leave a big hole in the Bauer porfolio because the company will be without a mainstream women's monthly. It was <a href="http://www.magforum.com/2006.htm#nwr">relaunched</a> as <i>NW</i> in December 2006 but had continued to lose sales - and that after a relaunch in 2005. <a href="http://www.magforum.com/glossies/new.htm#new"><br />

We've spent few weeks on selecting the hardware platform and discussing software structure. Basically we are making a stand-alone network video recorder based on embedded platform. It serves the similar funcationality as our surveillance software and it will be targeted for small businesses or home use. More updates coming up and we need to get back to the hard work for now!</p>

<description><![CDATA[The News of the World is to launch a Closer-style magazine called Fabulous as part of its relaunch u]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <i>News of the World</i> is to launch a <i>Closer</i>-style magazine called <i>Fabulous</i> as part of its relaunch under new editor Colin Mylar. The news comes in an interview with him - 'Sex, drugs and responsibilities' in the <a href="http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article3354057.ece" target="_blank">Independent</a>.</p>
<p>The title will be a glossy with high production values and come out on 3 February. The paper's sales figure is 3.2m every week, giving the title one of the biggest print runs in the UK.</p>
<p>Myler 'didn't think [the previous magazine] was relevant to our women readers and I think it had completely lost touch with the market'. <i>Fabulous</i> will feature fashion, beauty, accessories, celebrity and real life. Myler adds: 'Nobody has produced a magazine on the scale that we are doing, and of this quality – and it's free. The market research from potential readers has shown one fact loud and clear – they said, not knowing it would be coming free with the <i>News of the World</i>, that they would have been prepared to pay between 70p and £1 for it as a standalone.'</p>
<p>Hmmm. Isn't that what the <i>Mail on Sunday</i> said when it tried to sell <a href="http://www.magforum.com/2006.htm#sne" target="_blank"><i>You</i></a> separately for £1? That lasted about six months. The fact is that the big nationals have had a hard time with this - the <i>Mirror</i> put a fortune into its <a href="http://www.magforum.com/1999.htm#mir" target="_blank"><i>M</i> launch</a> before that folded. What might make the <i>NoW</i>'s effort different is that News International has made a shift back to magazines with <a href="http://www.magforum.com/magpubs1.htm#new">News Magazines</a> running weekly  <i>Love It!</i> and <i>Sky</i>.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Myler  has taken on Mandy Appleyard from Emap as <i>Fabulous</i> editor and already has Jane Johnson, former editor of <i>Closer</i>, as his deputy. He says the supplement will have a staff of 23, with Johnson as editorial director.</p>
