When it comes to online collaborating, sharing files, etc its good to keep abreast of who else on your account is doing what so you can keep an overview of everything happening in your organization. Of course we have the Activity feeds in Glasscubes that gives you a snapshot of everything that has been happening.

We've changed the default Workspace dashboard to include a micro message/blog field just like you have in Facebook and Twitter. This is great for sharing information with Glasscubes online project management

This weekend we are making available across all accounts the ability to create User Groups. What are user groups? Its a convenient way of grouping users together so that you can select a group of people with a single click when sending a notification or adding them to a Workspace. Groups can be anything you want from an internal team, or an external company. So how does it work? - first go to the 'Admin area' then 'User security', scroll down to just under the list of users and you will see this now:

We've just recently updated the the way you can navigate Workspaces with Glasscubes in an effort to make your navigation around your account more quick and easy thus reducing the number of clicks to get where you want to be.

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.

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

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.

- 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
