SignalFive has developed a number of Facebook Connect-enabled web and iPhone applications… It was about time we added that functionality to our blog, so here it is.

SignalFive recently worked with US / China-based startup Zoomino on it’s new site design.  Previously, Zoomino’s site didn’t quite have the kick it needed, design-wise, to communicate it’s offering: a customizable, keyword-based in-text discovery engine that engages users, increases pageviews, and boosts advertising revenues. We re-strategized their offering, gave them new designs and marketing tools in the form of web videos, and helped them re-focus their message around the theme of ‘Zoomify your Site’.

The results are live at http://www.zoomino.com.

The Repower America Wall is a campaign to raise awareness about Repower America and its efforts to solve the climate crisis. Through a combination of video, image and commentary, the American public now has a platform where it can speak its mind about climate matters.

The campaign launched in November 2009 with tandem efforts online and on television. The television ad campaign was driven by images from the repoweramerica.org/wall.

In the weeks prior to launch, thousands of videos, photos and comments had been gathered by field teams in all states. The video footage and images were then uploaded by volunteers using the Admin Panel developed by SignalFive.

Here at SignalFive we deal with in-progress apps a lot. This usually constitutes sending out an Ad Hoc distribution, or a version of the in-progress app, to various people with varying degrees of technical sophistication. Like anyone else, we had to go through this process a number of times before getting it right. There are a number of tutorials out there, such as this one, that offer some pointers. But ours has pictures, and goes through even more of the process. Ready? Let’s begin. (Note: This deals with Macs only..a Windows version might be coming in the future).

Find your UDID

First things first….Your iPhone/iPod Touch has a Unique Device Identifier. There are ways to find it in one click, but let’s go one step further. Most likely, you have to get this UDID number out to a developer who will then send you the Ad Hoc Distribution. So, let’s make your life easier. Download an app called AdHoc (it’s free)
