Share Tab Default

The CrossLoop client now defaults to the Share Tab after the initial installation. This will make it easier for Helpers to instruct Customers when they launch CrossLoop to share their screen. After the initial run, the software will remember your last use and return to that state upon subsequent start-ups.

Nicholas Butler's Tips On Leveraging Twitter As A CrossLoop HelperNovember 13

As many of you probably know by now that I am very active on Twitter and believe in that medium personally a lot.

As one of my objectives is to bring best practices to make all our Helpers successful with and through the best marketing channels, I requested Nik, a resident of England and whom I 'met' on Twitter a while ago and follow closely, to share his thoughts and best practices with all our Helpers on how he leverages social media as a Helper with a focus on Twitter since I was impressed by his use of it.

MD - Tell us a little about your self and your expertise with technology and what you help with.

NB: I have been involved in IT support and System administration since 1990 where I worked as the HelpDesk support guy at Lloyds Bank Insurance Services. Back then it was supporting DOS on IBM PC XTs and ATs and wordprocessors were Samba printing to dot matrix printers. My Career has  covered Application Development of Enterprise systems for a Large highsteet Retailer in the UK and over 9 years ago I went self employed to promote an awareness of Open Source Software. More recently my commentaries on the use of Social Networks and Social Media in business have lead me into a more Marketing and Web strategy role for a variety of marketing, civil engineering and sustainability clients.

In short if you need a developer, a system administrator, an analyst a consultant or just an Answer I have become known as the goto guy to get more than a solution fr
