On the Floor

I've been with factor[e] for almost five months and I'm now fully into the swing of things. When I arrived I was thrown head first into learning Rails, Ruby, Haml and jQuery and I have to say I'm loving it. I've also been working a lot with Forge, our content management system. Planning has already begun on Forge 3 and it's looking like it's going to be a powerful package.

Shortly after my arrival here Adrian suggested that I look at creating a social media strategy for factor[e]. I wrote a few reports outlining some suggested uses and best practices for a number of platforms. This was followed up by a list of next steps. As we find time in our busy schedules we'll slowly be hacking away at those steps.

Today's step is RSS and comments on our blog as well as an update to the archive section. We're going to start posting a little more frequently too. Stay tuned for biweekly posts about some of the back room discussions, ideas, research and shenanigans. All filtered for public viewing of course.

We'll also be keeping everyone in the loop as we launch projects. We've always got a pile of projects on the go and lately we've been launching some big ones. Check out our new portfolio to see some of the projects that are already out there.

There will be lots more to come so stay in touch!
