... LouderVoice now in Riverdance iPhone and Android App via LouderVoice Customer Reviews
LouderVoice was one of the first reviewing apps on Android and was the first ever Irish Android App. It made full use of our powerful API and was a great calling card for our capabilities.
We're now thrilled to tell you that our API is being used by another mobile application. This time it's the fabulous Riverdance. If you are a fan of the show, as we are, you are going to want this on your phone. It's available for both iPhone and Android and has everything you need to enjoy Riverdance ever more.
... LouderVoice Now Available in Spanish and Russian via LouderVoice Customer Reviews
Our development team have been hard at work this summer building a ton of new features for LouderVoice. The first fruits of their labour is the full front-end and back-end localisation of the service.

Riverdance Steps Out with LouderVoice via LouderVoice Customer Reviews
To describe Riverdance as a global entertainment phenomenon is to undersell it. Over the past sixteen years, millions of people have seen the show in places ranging from Sligo to Shanghai.
The Riverdance team decided to go with a totally new site towards the end of 2010 and the result is an absolute triumph. When they contacted us about powering the reviews for them, we couldn't have been more excited. We quickly deployed our Social Commerce Reviews solution on the site and you can now review both the overall experience and every individual show. Of course we have Facebook and Twitter baked in so everyone can get the message out about how much they love Riverdance.
Mary O'Donnell, who heads up their marketing and online teams, describes the new site and our part in it as follows:... Nokia, a wholy owned subsidary of MicroSoft via Branedy

Fastnet Line Swansea-Cork Ferry... nct via A Langers Blog
My car is due its NCT on Wednesday morning. I had a look at the NCT website and they publish their test stats, showing how many tests took place and the pass rate. What I found really interesting was that it doesn't change from one year to the next. Take a look at the graph I did comparing their data and the consistency between years:
I have about exactly 51% chance of passing first time. If I fail, I will have about exactly 90% chance of passing.
It will be interesting on Wednesday if I am in the lucky 51% or the unlucky 48% (±1%)...
LouderVoice Reviews on Facebook Pages via LouderVoice Customer Reviews
We have just added a new Facebook capability for all of our customers. They can now show all their latest reviews in a dedicated "Our Reviews" tab on their Facebook Page. Whilst our Facebook Connect implementation has always given reviewers the ability to post their reviews to their personal wall, this new feature enables our clients to showcase their reviews from all their products and services in one place.
Now a simple review written on a client's site or submitted by SMS can appear on their Facebook Page within minutes, building confidence and guiding others who want to know more about that business. Fundamentally it's about selling by word of mouth.
Some of our clients who have already turned the new feature on (total effort 2 minutes each!) are:

Fastnet Line Cork-Swansea Ferry on-board with LouderVoice via LouderVoice Customer Reviews
Business books will be written about the amazing story of the new Fastnet Line Ferry to Ireland. This much needed service operating from Swansea to Cork is proving to be a major success for the region. So you can imagine our excitement at LouderVoice becoming part of this story by powering the customer reviews on their site.
Whilst reviews are important for any business, their importance to new businesses cannot be under-estimated. The response from travellers has been phenomenal since reviews were turned on last week. The unique direct feedback has enabled Fastnet Line to immediately discover what is working very well and what can potentially be changed or improved.
That feedback then goes on to inform anyone thinking of travelling on the Ferry. Customer Reviews are not just about... Another WordPress upgrade failure via Branedy

We are often asked what types of business are most suited to reviews. Our answer is "all of them"! LouderVoice recently went live with a UK site called Parcel2Ship which offers a brilliantly simple but powerful service. They have aggregated all the parcel and document delivery services so that you just enter a destination and package size and they show you all the options and prices available.
If only we had known about the service when we were going to Internet World in London in May! We bounced from site to site to site trying to find the best price/delivery combination. Parcel2Ship would have saved us hours of effort and stress.
LouderVoice adds a critical new dimension to the site - reviews. Now you don't just select based on price but also on what previous users thought of each... Amazing Internet via Branedy
Yesterday I just got a trackback from a new article on Business News, Advices, Quotes And quite a handful of link through’s from there also. The funny part, call it amazing, they were linking to blog post I wrote 18 Months ago. Hardly a current, breaking news item, but the article seem to be quite active considering the link through’s and the minor nature, in context, with what the article was on about.
