The new app is available for all three major smartphone platforms.

(PRWEB) December 05, 2012

SimpliSafe Inc, the maker of innovative wireless home security systems, has released a new application giving its customers remote control of their alarm systems right from their Apple iOS, Google Android, or Windows smartphones. With the swipe of a finger, SimpliSafe customers can now: control their home security settings; check for any alerts or warnings; and track who is entering their homes and when. Plus, they’re getting these features at prices never before seen in the home security industry. As a leader in DIY wireless security systems and contract-free alarm monitoring, SimpliSafe continues to push the home security market to offer more high-tech features for less money.

The SimpliSafe App affords customers additional security by removing the need to give a PIN code to occasional visitors, such as caretakers and maintenance workers. Traditional systems require a PIN code to be physically punched into a security system’s keypad. The SimpliSafe App offers system control from anywhere in the world. A customer vacationing in Bali can get a text alerting her of a water leak, call a trusted plumber, and disarm her system to give him entry into her home. After the plumber leaves, all the homeowner needs to do is press a button on her smartphone screen to re-arm her security system and rest easy. This ensures that SimpliSafe customers can control exactly who can enter their homes and when, and provides an added level of security.

The SimpliSafe App is available in Apple’s App Store, the Windows Phone App Store, and Google Play. Customers can download the app for free. Remote management features are included in SimpliSafe’s interactive alarm monitoring plan, which costs just $ 24.99/month. As with all SimpliSafe products and services, customers can enjoy these advanced features without needing to sign any long-term contracts.

About SimpliSafe Home Security:

SimpliSafe is a simple, secure and complete do-it-yourself security system. Using entirely wireless components, the alarm system can be easily customized and installed by a homeowner or renter. SimpliSafe also provides nationwide alarm monitoring services for their wireless security systems. SimpliSafe systems and alarm monitoring services are sold online at http://SimpliSafe.com

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 02, 2013

skobbler (http://www.skobbler.com), the premier provider and leading innovator of mobile map-based solutions using OpenStreetMap data, today announced the release of their hit mapping solution, ForeverMap 2, on iOS for iPhone and iPad. Powered by skobbler’s one-of-a-kind NGx map engine, arguably the most advanced mapping technology on the planet, ForeverMap 2 delivers the core functions any user craves from a mobile mapping service—reliable and convenient availability under any circumstances through TRUE “hybrid” online and offline mapping capabilities.

This degree of functionality is noticeably absent from today’s most popular iOS map solutions, including Apple Maps, Google Maps or City Maps 2Go. Whereas Apple and Google Maps can be used in full online, they only offer limited offline functionality, lacking any search and routing components while without an Internet connection. Other travel-oriented map services like City Maps 2Go that provide offline functionality generally do so via thousands of downloadable micro or city maps that are data-heavy and slow, performance-wise. These offline-only maps are not online-enabled and feature no routing or limited search capabilities. With its versatile feature set, ForeverMap 2 addresses all of these shortcomings, providing iOS owners with the ultimate mapping companion.

ForeverMap 2 delivers pure “hybrid” functionality, allowing users to switch between online or optional offline map access with offline functionality being unlimited. This means routing and various search capabilities are provided in full, no matter where you are or if you have access to a data connection. To enable offline maps, rather than download thousands of city maps that are difficult to manage and require large data packages, ForeverMap 2 offers downloadable continent and country maps, which are supported by a seamless, one-map-of-the-world interface that is convenient, easy-to-use, and fast-loading. These maps store locally and are at your disposal anytime, anywhere, with full search and routing. Importantly, all routing within ForeverMap 2 covers pedestrians, bikes and cars, whether on- or offline.

While ForeverMap2 brings the best of both worlds in terms map features, it is also best-in-class with regard to performance. Its visuals and data are delivered using ultrafast real-time rendering to make maps infinitely browsable with no empty loading tiles when panning or zooming. It also contains a range of unique map styles to adapt to specific settings, with colors shifting for outdoor use to improve clarity.

ForeverMap 2 is available for a one-time purchase of $ 2.99 via the iTunes App Store, though, to celebrate its launch, skobbler is making the service available for $ 0.99 for a limited time only. While there are in-app map downloads available after the initial purchase, including continent and country maps for offline use, these come at no additional cost. Users will also receive frequent updates for free. No subscription required. To download ForeverMap 2 for iOS, visit here: http://bit.ly/11z10Kp.

“With ForeverMap 2, users are getting a service that works in any situation, no matter where they are,” said Philipp Kandal, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of skobbler. “We are addressing a need in the market today, overcoming the most obvious shortcomings of several others in the space, particularly with regard to offline functionality. ForeverMap 2 is how mobile maps should be and we’re able to deliver this through years of development, experience, and the most powerful map engine out there—NGx.”

ForeverMap 2 is the product of skobbler’s unique access technology package, skobbler GeOS. skobbler GeOS enables access to and structures the OpenStreetMap’s raw data and detail, delivering what is poised to be the most powerful SDK for OpenStreetMap implementation into a mobile product or web service.

At GeOS’ core is skobbler NGx, an advanced vector map engine. NGx facilitates fluid, high-performance map implementation both on- and offline. NGx powers ForeverMap 2’s intuitive map interactions, cutting-edge visuals, and its adaptive user interface with multiple map styles.

“We are thrilled to finally see our new map engine skobbler NGx live in one of our own Apple apps,” said Kandal. “This engine, with its unique styling and performance capabilities, is a big leap forward and an important milestone for our company. When you put so much effort into a project, you can’t wait to find out how the customers respond to it.”

ForeverMap 2 is also available for Android, NOOK and Kindle Fire devices. In addition to ForeverMap 2, the company’s internationally popular GPS Navigation 2, which offers true voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation at an unbelievable price, has been available to iOS users with full online-offline capabilities since October 2011. Together, the apps provide the best in maps and navigation on iPhone and iPad.

London, United Kingdom (PRWEB UK) 17 May 2013

Having officially launched its Squared programme earlier this year, Google has now created an exciting online version in partnership with e-learning experts, Home Learning College.

The website for the Squared Online course is now live at http://www.wearesquared.com and the team are accepting enrolments for two pilot intakes in July and September.

Taught part-time over six months, with interactive classes, high profile expert speakers, debates, projects and case studies, participants are set to graduate with a unique expertise in digital marketing as required by agencies, advertisers, and employers.

Dan Cobley continued: “Squared’s collaborative and interactive network has increased well beyond being just an education programme, and now more future leaders can take part in the learning experience than ever before. The online programme can be accessed from anywhere across the country, making the Squared fraternity richer and even more expansive.”

Endorsed by the IPA and created by Google in collaboration with the wider marketing community, the new course is designed to equip the leaders of the future with the tools and mindset to embrace emerging opportunities in digital marketing.

Michael Curry, co-founder of Floream, the parent company of Home Learning College, said: “Since the online version was announced in February we have received a lot of interest from both individuals who want to take the course and employers who want to send their staff. Notably of the 500 people who have expressed an interest to date, almost 100 of these have been from outside of the UK – another early indicator of the potential reach and scale of the online programme.”

Applicants who get placed onto one of the two pilot courses in July and September will pay the reduced price of £1,000 + VAT (or £1,200 including VAT). The pricing model will be revisited in 2014 to be more in line with other courses at this level, with the opportunity for bursaries for exceptional young talent.

Bethesda, MD (PRWEB) December 05, 2012

Kajeet® (http://www.kajeet.com), the preeminent wireless service platform for kids and those who love them, is pleased to announce the launch of it’s new Bring Your Own Device Program. Customers with used, inactive Sprint® devices may now activate these on Kajeet instead of purchasing a brand new phone or tablet. The start of the Bring Your Own Device Program coincides with the holiday season, making it a great gift idea for parents who have older cell phones, smartphones and tablets no longer in use that can be handed down to their kids.

“Now is the perfect time of year to introduce our Bring Your Own Device Program. Every kid wants an Android™ smartphone or a cell phone this holiday season, but not every parent can afford a new one. With Kajeet’s Bring Your Own Device Program, that’s no longer a problem; parents can give their used mobile devices to their kids and activate them on one of our affordable, no-contract plans. Plus, they get Kajeet’s patented parental controls and Smart Blocker™ for free. Kids get the gift they want and parents can manage device use appropriately and safely. It’s a win for everyone,” said Daniel Neal, CEO and Founder of Kajeet.

Eligible devices that can be activated under Kajeet’s Bring Your Own Device Program must be Sprint branded, no longer under contract and not currently running on the Sprint network. Not all device models are supported, but customers can check if their device is by visiting http://www.kajeet.com/4u/BYOSD. With Kajeet, there is no activation fee and no contract required. Kajeet’s Bring Your Own Device Program is also green, giving customers a way to recycle – and reuse – their old phones rather than contribute to the growing problem of electronic waste.

Kajeet makes staying connected at home or in school safe, secure and affordable. The only wireless service platform that provides Internet-filtered Android™ devices, wallets for multi-payer services, kid-friendly content and GPS location technology, Kajeet enables communication between kids, parents and educators in a safe setting.

Crowdfunding Expert Kendall Almerico

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) April 20, 2013

Crowdfunding expert, Kendall Almerico, the CEO of emerging crowdfunding site ClickStartMe, released a new instructional video in his online crowdfunding series. In the new video, Almerico gives five important tips on how to use Twitter in an effective crowdfunding campaign.

“Twitter is perfect for crowdfunding, because of its reach and the speed with which news can be spread,” the crowdfunding guru says. “But effective use of Twitter is necessary to fully benefit from that reach and speed.” From the new video, here are Almerico’s five tips for using Twitter in a successful crowdfunding campaign:

1.    Tweet everything posted on Facebook. Don’t assume that the people who read a Facebook post are the same people who read a Tweet. Post the same information on both because there are different audiences. Make sure every Tweet has a link directly to the crowdfunding project. Just linking Facebook and Twitter is not enough because Facebook will automatically Tweet a link to the Facebook post, not the crowdfunding project. This requires a potential donor to jump through an extra hoop to make a donation, which is never a good idea.

2.    Tweet several times a day, not just once. Twitter is a constantly moving target and sending one Tweet a day isn’t enough. Tweet at least 4 times a day, every day, at various times to catch everyone who is a follower.

3.    Ask people to retweet. The secret to obtaining viral Twitter reach is the retweet. But, people rarely retweet anything unless it is compelling news, or if they are asked to do so. Add “Please Retweet” to your crowdfunding Tweets, so that followers will do so, and help spread the word as a result.

4.    Build relationships with others on Twitter through interaction. Assuming the crowdfunder already has followers on Twitter, he or she needs to be sure to interact with them. Sending followers @messages and, more importantly, retweeting their Tweets, helps build a relationship where those followers will be more likely to retweet for the crowdfunding project.

5.    Use hashtags to help spread the word. In the Twittersphere, hashtags allow anyone to find the crowdfunding project easily, which make it easier for Tweets to be retweeted and for word to spread.

Crowdfunding expert Kendall Almerico is the CEO of ClickStartMe, and is also an expert on The JOBS Act. Almerico is available for interviews, media appearances and speaking engagements.

Crowdfunding expert, Kendall Almerico, the CEO of emerging crowdfunding site ClickStartMe, released a new instructional video in his online crowdfunding series. In the new video, Almerico gives five important tips on how to use Twitter in an effective crowdfunding campaign.

“Twitter is perfect for crowdfunding, because of its reach and the speed with which news can be spread,” the crowdfunding guru says. “But effective use of Twitter is necessary to fully benefit from that reach and speed.” From the new video, here are Almerico’s five tips for using Twitter in a successful crowdfunding campaign:

1.    Tweet everything posted on Facebook. Don’t assume that the people who read a Facebook post are the same people who read a Tweet. Post the same information on both because there are different audiences. Make sure every Tweet has a link directly to the crowdfunding project. Just linking Facebook and Twitter is not enough because Facebook will automatically Tweet a link to the Facebook post, not the crowdfunding project. This requires a potential donor to jump through an extra hoop to make a donation, which is never a good idea.

2.    Tweet several times a day, not just once. Twitter is a constantly moving target and sending one Tweet a day isn’t enough. Tweet at least 4 times a day, every day, at various times to catch everyone who is a follower.

3.    Ask people to retweet. The secret to obtaining viral Twitter reach is the retweet. But, people rarely retweet anything unless it is compelling news, or if they are asked to do so. Add “Please Retweet” to your crowdfunding Tweets, so that followers will do so, and help spread the word as a result.

4.    Build relationships with others on Twitter through interaction. Assuming the crowdfunder already has followers on Twitter, he or she needs to be sure to interact with them. Sending followers @messages and, more importantly, retweeting their Tweets, helps build a relationship where those followers will be more likely to retweet for the crowdfunding project.

5.    Use hashtags to help spread the word. In the Twittersphere, hashtags allow anyone to find the crowdfunding project easily, which make it easier for Tweets to be retweeted and for word to spread.
