London, 11 May 2011 - 10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms and applications, today announces that it has assisted Masher in the creation of a bespoke video creation application for Facebook.
Frej Salminiitty, Chief Technology Officer and Co-founder of 10Duke comments: "Masher asked us to take them into Facebook with a completely new application; they set us a challenging deadline that most technology companies would find impossible. Using the 10Duke Social Media SDK we built a completely new application within the timeframe given and produced a tool that enables users to create superb videos using their own Facebook photos - just one of the new great features. As users can upload their own photos, videos and audio we integrated Masher into Amazon S3 to enable them to scale and reduce storage costs."
James Clifton, Managing Director of Masher, comments: "Facebook represents a new market for Masher and 10Duke enabled us to get there in a short timeframe. We knew 10Duke have excellent technology and so we were able to concept the new application without boundaries. We improved user experience by making it faster than ever thanks to 10Duke using CSS and JavaScript where possible to replace Flash and gave it a new user flow. Masher is now easier than ever to access and offers a better user experience, faster speed, simple sharing options and many new exciting features. The 10Duke Social Media SDK also gives us great flexibility with extending the application in the future and also provides a firm, reliable foundation for the application to sit upon."

London, 15 February 2011 - 10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms and applications, today announces that the 10Duke Social Media SDK was used in 3 core applications of Tekla BIMsight, an enterprise 2.0 collaboration software platform released by Tekla Corporation, an international provider of model-based software tools for the construction and infrastructure industries.

Additionally, the service provides a first line support solution allowing customers to provide support to each other and the technology continually feeds Tekla's CRM application.

10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms, today announces the release of VideoSprout (www.videosprout.com.), a private video sharing service. Free to use, videosprout.com allows users to upload and share their video clips across the internet with only the people they choose.
Speaking from the Nordic Tech Tour in Helsinki, Neil Fenton, founder and Chairman of 10Duke comments: "Video cameras and mobile phones have enabled us all to capture special moments like never before, but not everyone wants to post these clips into public video sites. Emailing video clips as attachments causes problems of congested email accounts and many people can't play clips sent to them if they are in the wrong format. VideoSprout solves all of these problems."
Simon Penn, VideoSprout Senior Product Manager, comments: "We developed the service to be easy and simple to use. Anyone who has a video they want to share can register for free, upload the video and send a link to just the people they want. The recipient simply clicks on the link they've been sent and can watch the video streamed directly to their web browser. To make things even simpler, users can import their contacts from Hotmail or Gmail to share their clips, and they can include a text or chat message to send along with the clip."
"People who want to share a video of their child on a family holiday, wedding videos or internal company video messages are just some of the applications VideoSprout can be used for. The most important thing is that users have complete control over who gets invited to watch the video. There are no video galleries like YouTube, and unlike Facebook you can target just a small set of friends, giving total privacy to the content."
VideoSprout was created using the 10Duke Social Media Application Platform in just 10 days. The service can be accessed for free at www.videosprout.com .
London, April 2010 - 10Duke, the European leader in bespoke social media platforms, today announces that it has partnered with Jongleurs, the leading brand in British comedy, to assist with the distribution and monetisation of Jongleurs video content throughout online and mobile channels.
Maria Kempinska, Jongleurs' founder comments: "We're looking to extend the Jongelurs brand across the Internet so that fans can access clips of Britain's best comedians online from wherever and whenever they want. By partnering with 10Duke we can quickly deliver our content internationally, monetise it through ticket sales, advertising and pay per view, and help up and coming comedians gain international exposure. We chose to partner with 10Duke because of the reach it gives us to social media cost effectively and easily."
Neil Fenton, founder and Chairman of 10Duke comments, "When it comes to comedy there is no better brand out there than Jongleurs. Comedy is one of the most popular categories of video consumed by Internet users and 10Duke's advanced international video streaming capabilities means we can automatically distribute clips of some of the UK's leading comedians to an international audience both online and via mobile. Content remains king, but it is an increasing challenge to get it seen by a fragmented online audience - our platform helps Jongleurs to meet that challenge.
The 10Duke social media engine allows Jongleurs' videos to be quickly and simply syndicated throughout many of the leading social networks online, including Facebook, MySpace, and Orkut. The content is intelligently tagged to increase its visibility to search engines, and formatted for simultaneous distribution to mobile devices. Content can easily be shared between users and simple information tags allows comedy fans to book tickets to see their favourite comedian and enjoy shows online or via a mobile device.
