We've updated the way you can share files that you upload to Glasscubes. At the moment, you either need to be a member of the workspace or you use the 'Share this File' button in the tool box when clicking on a file in a workspace, which emails out directly a link.

Today a great new feature is available on all Glasscubes accounts that will help your online collaboration better and increase the document management online tools - the ability to get a document (or any file) approved by a set of people. we're confident you'll find this a much better way to get that all important file approved by your manager, team or client when working in a project rather than sending out an email with a file attached - we feel this is much better way of collaborating online. It keeps track of who's approved, who has yet to approve the file - it even handles tricky situations when someone has approved a version but you've updated a newer version of the document.

We're rolling out a new major update at Christmas and it brings some new exciting features. We'll go into details about each one when they become live in the coming 2 weeks but I wanted to give you some information now so you know what to expect

I'm really happy to let you know that the mobile version of Glasscubes is now available to everyone. We wanted to make this mobile interface light and simple and to give you access to the key things you need when on the road to help your online project management. We also wanted to make it available to as many phone types as possible. So with this in mind we didn't create a specific 'app' for a specific phone (ie iPhone app, etc) - instead we've created a specific web interface that you can access on any mobile phone that has a web browser. So no matter what phone you have you can access Glasscubes when you're on the move.

As of today we've made live our integration with Google documents. This means that you can link to Google documents right within your Glasscubes account, so no matter what files you need to reference and work together on , whether its an Excel file, Google document, images etc - your online collaboration just got better within Glasscubes!. So how does it work? There's now a new button in the Tool bar under documents:

Something I know we've been wanted to make available for you - Customization - is finally here!

Well as many of our customers are working with clients and need to track time spent on work done we're delighted to let you now know that Time Tracking is now available in Glasscubes for better online project management. Not only that but we are offering this on all accounts including the Basic free accounts at no extra charge.

Ok I'll keep short as I'm sure you're busy!

We've added a couple of new features to Glasscubes which I think you'll find useful.

- Time tracking - if you charge your time spent on projects for customers or need to track time against work & tasks performed you can now do this quickly on Glasscubes. For more information see Wayne's blog post

- Customization - Hide the tabs and areas of Glasscubes you don't use, making it more easy and quick to access what's important to you. This only takes a few seconds to do and really improves your experience using Glasscubes. Again see another blog post by Wayne here

We're now preparing the mobile version of Glasscubes, so if you are interested in beta testing this then drop us and email and we'll make this available to you in the coming weeks.

Results from an online survey of public relations professionals indicate that agency/client relationships are “somewhat collaborative,” according to 55% of respondents. Nearly 90% of those surveyed said they’d achieve better results if these relationships were more collaborative.
 
When asked to define an effective, collaborative PR relationship, some common themes emerged, including:
 
•    Openness (open door, open minds, open communication)
•    Frequent, two-way communication
•    Trust
•    Clear expectations
•    Partnership

We love this new addition to Glasscubes and we think you'll find it really useful - integration with email.
