First of all we want to wish you all a happy 2009.
As we already mentioned in the last newsletter we will
implement a number of changes to PotatoPro this year and
today we can make three announcements:
New Design
We are currently working very hard on the new design of the
PotatoPro website. This weekend we plan to implement the
first phase of the new design. Implementation should not
cause any major issues – but should any interruptions occur,
we apologize for any inconveniences. And don't forget to
check out the new design next week!
Jobs in the Potato Processing Industry
In the new set-up, PotatoPro offers companies in the Potato
Industry the opportunity to list their job vacancies in the
Potato Industry. As an introduction, we offer this service
free of charge. If you have any positions you would like to
see listed, E-mail them to
Jobs@Foodinnovationonline.com.
PotatoPro on Twitter
 With
social media becoming more and more important, we decided to
get our feet wet as well. You can now find us on Twitter,
one of the fastest growing social media platforms. If you
"follow" PotatoPro on Twitter, you can get an impression of
what we are working on, get real time notifications,
contribute to PotatoPro or provide feedback and participate
in discussions. Twitter is also a convenient way to get
Potato News on your Blackberry/Cell Phone. You can "follow"
us at
www.Twitter.com/potatopro for a select number of updates
on what we are working on, discussions and some major
headlines. If you want notifications on all the News that we
add, you can follow us on
www.twitter.com/PotatoPro_All
Our use of Twitter is highly experimental and going forward,
we will make modifications to how we use Twitter based on
the feedback of the people who start using it.
Enjoy reading,
