how to do it."

- online delivery of broadcast material and tracking thereof,
- specialist shopping technologies and user interface design,
- promotional e-mail marketing, e-mail reputation services and best
practice implementations,

of SEO for large blocks of data,

- design and logistical implementation of subscription based educational software,
- publishing of encrypted content online, for distribution to internet client software
through subscription based release mechanisms,
- data syndication through XML feeds, graphics, tickers, and other internet related media formats.
If it requires an Internet connection, we've done it. Read about some of our open projects below:
Tracking the world's first virtual Real Cash Economy since 2004
MyTwoPecs.com (2004 to present)
A website created for the virtual
economy of Entropia Universe,
MyTwoPecs.com has been delivering aggregated economy related data to select
traders, hunters and miners of Calypso since late 2004, and finally
going live to the public in 2005. The fully automated system includes customised
and branded market graphs, live XML data and RSS feeds, and a splash
page to view the most important commodities at a glance. Services offered
by the automated system is syndicated feeds to other data centres, websites
and individuals building applications for use by members of the virtual world.
Before 2004, Entropia Universe (formerly known as Project Entropia)
had not seen standardised information websites listing the plethora of
commodities sold every day in the Calypsonian economy. The only marketboards
available at the time, was managed by players themselves and required too much
human intervention for it to operate fairly and transparently for the community.
After identifying methods to track information on the virtual world auction system,
scrape the necessary data, and keep track of commodity histories over time, the
MyTwoPecs.com website was born.
At it's hey-day, MyTwoPecs.com had attracted over five million hits a
month, most of these being subscribers to the RSS feeds, and influenced
the development and standardisation of similar community websites.
MyTwoPecs 2.0 has been shelved for later release after the Entropia
Universe games company (MindArk) had deployed market related data inside
the virtual universe, mimicking what MyTwoPecs had done for the community
over the years. This essentially cuts out the urgency for aggregated
data in the virtual world, leaving MyTwoPecs to only satisfy the
need for community websites and other applications that required
real market data from the Entropia Universe.
The new MyTwoPecs website will launch with the Kayzen3.com automated
SEO engine installed, which by design, decreases the amount of effort
required for a specialist SEO consultant to perform his/her duties on a
hypertext content site.

Tripping the light fantastic, with an intelligent PC website
The online computer shop, that can't build an incompatible computer
Kayzen3.com is completing the shopping engine for it's first online computer
store. This website features an intelligent system that can help any user, expert
or not, to build a working computer using the site's price list.
This process automates the traditional "request a quote" functionality
which requires a technician to build a quotation and send it off to the client. Since
the success of the proof-of-concept for an intelligent shopping system to
know which computer parts are compatible with other parts, Kayzen3.com has been working
on completing the wizards that will guide a user of any background to building
a computer to suit their needs, and fit their pocket. Customers can save their configuration
on their member profile, and optionally purchase the computer when they are ready.
Since this system is geared as a generic mechanism for several different PC sales websites
to use, it will be using a shared data layer that will store standard component information in
a central database, including components that are brand aware. This will cut down on the
overall administration for all the PC stores that are part of the network, without violating
the privacy and sensitivity of data owned by each store.
Additionally, the traditional problem with online PC price lists, is the general
effort required by shop staff to update perpetually changing price lists, and the
tempo at which a price list stales to become out-of-date. Therefore, any
successful online computer store (or, for that matter, any online catalogue) needs
the easiest processes to update prices and content. Where possible,
this data will be plugged into each store's accounting system.
