Automated Content Generation

Jun 28, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- InfoMentis, a global consulting and performance improvement company, announced the launch of Dealmaker Pulse, a solution that provides intelligent social networking for sales, with instant objective deal alerts.

According to InfoMentis, Pulse lets users keep their finger on the pulse of critical sales events and customer sentiment by following sales opportunities and accounts, and integrating social network feeds from Twitter and LinkedIn. Pulse is available as part of the Dealmaker Sales Performance Automation platform.

Dealmaker Pulse improves knowledge and collaboration across sales teams. With permission, anyone can follow any sales opportunity, account or user and Pulse advises them, in real-time, of what's changing. Pulse allows sales people and management to interact with each other around deals and accounts.

Additionally, since Pulse is based on the Dealmaker Sales Performance Automation platform, it benefits from the InfoMentis sales methodology, and the automated sales process coaching that Dealmaker provides. For the first time, business-to-business sales organizations are provided with informed, instant, objective deal alerts as part of their social networking conversations. This automated content generation ensures that these notifications are relevant, timely, and benefit from sales best practices.

As someone who’s always understood the power of the narrative for attracting audiences, I believe Demand Media has discovered a new and largely untapped story telling platform on the web. As part of its Board, I look forward to helping unlock this value and drive innovation online, using the insight and experience I bring from the entertainment industry.

But as paidContent noticed , the connection with Guber goes a little further than just a seat on the board: Rosenblatt also mentions on Twitter that he and Guber had breakfast on Sunday, followed by a tennis game with the Hollywood mogul, as well as someone named Semel — likely former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel, also a Hollywood studio veteran.

Rosenblatt also mentions in recent tweets that he had dinner with film producer Brian Grazer and comedy legend Rob Reiner at Nobu the night before (Nobu is a famous Hollywood hangout), and promises to “get Brian on Twitter tomorrow.” The Demand CEO also apparently spent at least part of the evening debating the value of the iPad with former supermodel Cindy Crawford (he adds later that “cindy did not like the iPAD and i did; she thought just a big iphone with no service; i think convenient and travelable”). The socializing may not be all that surprising, considering Demand is based in Los Angeles, but it still seems like an odd pairing, that of the company that’s commoditizing media from all angles and the old media veterans whose margins are rapidly dwindling as a result of that same process.

Although Time Warner's future is far from certain, bloggers have been preoccupied with what lies ahead for the new " Aol.

"--now one of the oldest Internet companies. With broad agreement that AOL's failure stemmed from faulty predictions about the direction of Web growth, bloggers aren't convinced that the company's new course of action is airtight. Still, they say, it's too soon to count AOL out for good.

Rory Cellan-Jones analyses just how and why one of the most-hyped mergers of the modern-era went so awry. His conclusion- the duo made what turned out to be an extraordinarily bad bet on vertical integration as the ticket to Internet success: The idea of bringing together the people who supplied the internet with the owners of compelling content - the pipes and the poetry as the phrase went - seemed compelling in January 2000.
