Covering Today
• One of the most important ways to keep everyone
in your digital workplace on the same page is to
ensure that they all are informed about the latest
company updates.
• Let's take a more in-depth look at some of the
benefits a company news feed can have.

The 101 on Newsfeeds
A dynamic newsfeed allows users to filter information by
relevancy. Administrators responsible for updating news can choose certain stories
to only be sent to certain users' newsfeeds. It’s an easy way to avoid clutter and
ensure employees from different areas of your company are kept up to date with
the latest company news. You should start thinking like a news channel—writing
updates that are relevant, to the point, and written in language that best
communicates the information.
The Digital Workplace Group points out the disconnect between
typical intranet newsfeeds and professional news sites. They have different ways
of conveying new information, since they're developed with very different
audiences in mind. Because the former is designed to give news to a small group of
coworkers, it can be short, straightforward and delivered to an audience that you
know already has at least some understanding of the issues discussed.

Professional news sites are instead intended
for hundreds of thousands of readers all across the globe. Because of this,
they assumedly speak to an audience with no prior understanding of the
topic at hand. Following this logic, many designers often think intranet
feeds for employees can be less visually engaging because their audience is
already part of the company. But even employees need to stay focused
within updates and while superfluous details may be deleted, it still helps
to keep core principles of design intact on intranet systems. Without
associated images or videos, the news blends together for users and can
lack the level of immediate importance.

Comments sections are another ubiquitous aspect of news
sites, allowing anyone to easily give their opinion on what's going on.
Likewise, putting a comments section below every news post provides a way
for the company to easily come together and discuss these updates,
regardless of their geographic location. This keeps members of the digital
workplace even more engaged as a group and allows administrators to easily
get feedback on what their employees think of the latest announcements.
Hubs like Communifire show that a mainstream news
site approach to intranet feeds is entirely possible with enough dedication
and creativity. Its header image shows the most important news to the whole
company, while the subcategories below apply more to different aspects of
the business. While this isn't quite the same as an RSS feed, this business
communication tool and similar sources make your intranet familiar and
easily navigable.

LiveTiles News Feed…
Plugging the news sources directly into your
intranet's main hub is a way to deliver updates without sacrificing
productivity. LiveTiles' new News Feed Tile allows for a quick and
compact way to communicate the latest company updates to all
members of your digital workplace. By placing the tile at the most
visible point on your intranet layout, you can best convey this news as
soon as users visit the site. It also lets you use images to accompany
every news story, which adds a more appealing component to the
design and gives company members a better idea of what the updates
are about.

Internal communication is essential for a
connected workplace, and intranet platforms like LiveTiles are
working to make this dispersion of information as easy and
engaging as possible. By keeping up to date on the latest news
distribution software updates, you too can make your digital
workplace a more involved place for everyone in it.

CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“You’d probably rather not spent your time on the phone. But when
you have to, it’s nice to put a face to a name and voice. Skype, the
original video-conferencing software, is still the perfect utility for
small and growing businesses. With long roots in the industry, and
millions of users, Skype remains free to call for other users and you’re
able to buy credits to cheaply call landlines and mobiles (even
internationally !)”.
