n24.de – Complete Management of the News Portal
Ongoing Development and Quality Assurance
The range of tasks included in the management account includes both the identification and analysis of optimisation potential, and the technical conceptualisation and realisation of applications and redevelopments. At the same time, interactive tools performs the ongoing quality assurance and testing of the news platform. The objective is to expand the online portal as an interactive media offering of the broadcasting system, and to redevelop the existing information offerings and multi-media features in a user-centric manner. These tasks are implemented in the existing portal environment on the basis of FirstSpirit high-end content management system. For many years now, interactive tools has developed complex portal environments and applications on the basis of content management systems, having gathered a wealth of experience through the use of FirstSpirit.
New Tool Uses Facebook Connect
The latest redevelopment of the online portal was the implementation of a social bar that uses Facebook Connect. This makes it even easier for readers of N24.de to comment on articles, or to forward videos and articles to friends. And as of now, Facebook user can use Facebook Connect to log onto N24.de. Above and below each article, users will find the social bar with a variety of functions. User can employ it to set a link to an N24.de item or images and videos on their Facebook profile, making it available to their contacts there. The rating function makes it positive to leave a positive or negative rating of a given article. Ratings and comments will display directly on the page.
