The product has been rumored for the last several years. so far both Steve Jobs and now Tim Cook have called the Apple TV, the company’s set-top box, a hobby.

Hold The Phone — How The Future Of Web Advertising Is Linked To The Call

admin — Mon, 14 May 2012 08:00:03 +0000

We’re all now familiar with how adwords campaigns on Google work. you buy keywords commonly used in search terms, such as “plumber in X town”, and send people to a response mechanism, usually a web site. But increasingly that response mechanism is not a just a web site but a phone number as well – sometimes it’s even just a phone number. But these days it’s rarely an ordinary number – it’s usually a ’smart number’ that performs certain kinds of actions and sends data, just like browser calls a web page and sends data from that page. these smart numbers can be made to grab an RSS feed, play a sound file, make the caller fill out a form with their voice – just about anything.Increasingly we are seeing tech startups address what you do with that phone call and the data and analytics that can be pulled from it, just like on the Web.while Google and Facebook look at this area with their pet own projects, startups have appeared on the market to address this, such as AdInsight, Tropo, Twilio and Iovox, among others.

GoGoFantasy is a patent-pending system for crowdfunding porn. Folks with fetishes, grandmas with groin urgings, and couples into copulating can create projects and request cash in return for filming certain acts. For example, one young lady will mount two cameras in a small plane and film her activity in the cabin. and she won’t be reading her Kindle and eating peanuts, if you catch my meaning.

Blurb has had a good amount of success as a disruptive player in the “traditional” publishing space. The San Francisco-based company, which lets anyone write and publish a physical book at relatively affordable prices, has built a profitable business with more than 100 staff and more than a million paying customers since it launched to the public six years ago. but according to founder and CEO Eileen Gittins, Blurb wants more. Blurb is expanding into the e-book space this summer, gradually rolling out a software platform that will allow people to create and distribute multimedia-enabled digital books. So why is Blurb going into an industry in which even huge, established publishing players have notoriously had serious difficulties making money?

Journal begins app for iPhone and iPad

admin — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 14:00:14 +0000

WASHINGTON, April 21 (UPI) — Blood, the official journal of the American Society of Hematology, released the journal’s app for iPhone and iPad, the editors in Washington say.

“The start of the Blood journal app demonstrates our recognition that our readers expect to be able to access journals on the go and our commitment to offering them the most cutting-edge science in the field through as many channels as possible,” Dr. Cynthia Dunbar, editor in chief of the journal, said in a statement.

“By downloading the free application, users can access first edition articles, conduct full-text searches, and view listings of articles by author and date with the in-app browser.”

The app also allows users to share articles via e-mail and Twitter and download multiple issues on their devices and access them regardless of Internet connectivity, a feature not readily available on many other journal apps, Dunbar said.

A readership survey indicated that nearly 20 percent of journal readers anticipate regularly accessing, searching, and reading professional journal literature on smartphones and tablets by 2015, signaling an opportunity for Blood to further expand its digital footprint.

A version of the Blood journal app for Android devices will soon be available, Dunbar said.
