Pixel Vector launches Helping with Crohns Social Network

Crohns and Colitis are deseases which we hold close to our heart’s here at Pixel Vector and we’re delighted to announce the launch of our latest social networking website; Helping with Crohns. The website is designed to help the sufferers of Crohns and Colitis and their families by providing a platform for them to discuss and share.

The website was launched last month and the following press release is taken from the Telegraph & Argus;

A Bradford patient who spent six months in hospital battling a debilitating disease has started a social network site to connect with other sufferers.

Chris Carroll, 29, was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease seven years ago and has undergone practically every procedure possible, including life-saving operations at Bradford Royal Infirmary.

The disease is a painful condition which can affect anywhere from the mouth to the bottom and can lead to a narrowing in the gut.

Typical signs include diahorrea and bleeding, weight loss, abdominal pain and sometimes malnutrition.

Mr Carroll said: “Crohn’s is a very anti-social disease due to the nature of the symptoms and this stops many people from talking about their illness – this means it goes untreated for too long.

“I remember being embarrassed about discussing my bodily functions and tried to ignore symptoms but this only causes more problems. I want to reassure others going through the same thing there are others they can talk to who understand.”

He has now started the website – helpingwithcrohns.org – to encourage others with Crohn’s and colitis diseases to share information and experiences.

Mr Carroll, formerly of Bradford, but now living in Northallerton, shares his story, which includes going into BRI in May last year when, what should have been a week’s stay, turned into six months and included two weeks in intensive care.

Jane Healey, IBD nurse specialist at Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust said: “Chris is an inspirational young man. Unfortunately he has had a particularly bad time with his condition and has been through more than most.

“As Chris says, many people find it difficult to talk about symptoms that they find embarrassing.

“He recognised that this was a problem and has turned his bad experiences into a positive one. The internet is an excellent way to reach many people and creating a social network is an innovative way of enabling people to talk to others with similar experiences.”

Introducing the fflap.com Re-design

Richard Blyth — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 23:29:29 +0000

Last month we launched the new version of www.fflap.com which includes a new design and a host of exciting new features.

The first version of fflap was launched last April with a simple concept; a new way to sell eBay items by harnessing the power of social networks.

The original development included the use of the eBay and Twitter API’s – fetching listed items from eBay and posting them to Twitter. While this functionality was fundamental to success of the first version of fflap, the ‘bigger picture’ was always to include more social networks. With this latest update, fflap members can now post items to their Facebook accounts.

Working closely with Canada-based Invoke Media (who’s impressive marketing portfolio includes Hootsuite, Disney and MSN) we have deployed a fresh new design to the fflap.com site. New technical features include the advanced scheduling of items, greatly enhanced user profiles and item listings.

You can learn more about fflap at fflap.com.
