ResidualReach, LLC releases first Podio lesson on the Academy - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ResidualReach has just launched its first lesson on Podio in their online learning environment for small and medium businesses. Podio is an online platform with a new take on work and how it gets done. For the first time ever you can create your own work tools and shape the way you work. No technical skills required. No dependency on IT. Podio gives people more power than they've ever had before to do everyday work better, smarter and in their own way.

La Jolla, California - In 2010 world leading Daylite implementor, Marni Melrose launched The MacAngel Academy to help small businesses to learn Daylite. That has been very successful, but ResidualReach wanted to reach not only businesses that used Apple Computers and devices but any sort of computer or device. They went on a hunt to find a product that worked on any platform so that they could help impact more business people. In 2012 they found Podio and fell in love, just like they had fallen in love with Daylite 10 years ago. ResdiualReach is pleased to announce the first of their Podio lessons.

The lesson is free but you must first register to get access the entire lesson.

Lesson Details:

12-17 Why and how we use Podio

In this lesson we will go over the reason that we use Podio now and show you one of our workflows. In this workflow:

* We take an estimate from our website into Podio
* Link the estimate to a person in Podio
* Share the estimate with that person so that we can discuss it inside of Podio instead of inside of email
* Create an opportunity in Podio and link the estimate inside of it, so we have full access to the information there
* We use Quoteroller to produce beautiful quotes and then link the status back in to Podio
* We link the sale to the person and the opportunity which then gives us a calculated value of the contact over time and on that particular opportunity
* We then link the Person to a Client Workspace where we manage their project collaboratively with them
* We talk a bit about the apps that we have created in the client workspaces to help us manage our work together. For instance, we created an app to help manage the client pre-payments
* We link every appointment up to the Implementation project back in the CRM
* When the customer fills out feedback, we then link that feed back to the project in the CRM
* How we use the conversations app to pull conversations in to Podio or to email from Podio. We also are able to link emails while out of the office on our iPads, iPhones, or Androids
* We show you how to send outbound email using Podiotools
* We show you how we use Podio to interact with our members to have them propose and also vote on lessons

You will learn: Why we use Podio:
* How the estimate request form got onto our site
* How to set up some tasks to do when you receive a new item
* What the activity stream does and how information gets into it
* What a workspace is
* How to share an item in Podio
* How to email an item to an app

Britt Van Slyck, User Engagement at Podio said " We firmly believe Podio is more than technology, it should be a means of becoming more productive by changing the way you work for the better."

"I firmly agree with Britt and I am out to make an impact on small and medium sized businesses by helping them to collaborate more effectively externally as well as internally. The future of work is right here. Like Apple was the computer for the rest of us, Podio is the enterprise social network for the rest of us.", says Chief Technology Evangelist, Marni Melrose, author and Founder of the Academy.

In April of 2012 Citrix acquired Podio. Podio recently announced it's 18 Preferred Podio Partners. Marni Melrose was selected as one of those partners because of the Academy that she built to help users with Marketcircle's Daylite small business productivity application. She plans to bring the same level of high quality training on Podio that she did with Daylite.

About Podio:
Podio is an online platform with a new take on work and how it gets done. For the first time ever you can create your own work tools and shape the way you work. No technical skills required. No dependency on IT. Podio gives people more power than they've ever had before to do everyday work better, smarter and in their own way.

About Citrix:
Citrix (NASDAQ:CTXS) transforms how businesses and IT work and people collaborate in the cloud era. With market-leading cloud, collaboration, networking and virtualization technologies, Citrix powers mobile work styles and cloud services, making complex enterprise IT simpler and more accessible for 260,000 organizations.

Wobbery 2.0 Released, Words Stolen, Rationing Expected - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Word thieves everywhere rejoice! MassLight today announces Wobbery 2.0, a major update to its real time word game developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Wobbery requires both a fast mind and a fast finger. Players try to protect their own words while stealing their opponent's words. And because all the action is live, anyone can steal words at any time. Originally released as an iPad board game, Wobbery was completely rewritten to support both real time and turn based network play.

Washington, D.C. - MassLight is pleased to announce the release of Wobbery 2.0 today, a major update to its real time word game. "It's so much easier to steal your friends' words," said MassLight CEO Daniel Abrams. "We added network play and iPhone support. Now you can steal words from a friend halfway around the world while standing in line at the supermarket."

In Wobbery players try to protect their own words while stealing their opponent's words.

"Other games let you take turns making new words, and that's fun" said Wobbery fan Suzanne Kamel, "but even more fun is letting your boyfriend do all the work of making the words and then stealing them from him. Unless he catches on and starts stealing all your words first, that's the worst. Fortunately he doesn't know that hints appeared in this release."

Wobbery, originally released as an iPad board game, was completely rewritten to support both real time and turn based network play.

"Wobbery is an unusual word game because all the action is live," said developer Robert Zinger. "Anyone can steal words at any time, it requires both a fast mind and a fast finger. Of course, we also support slower, turn based play for users who don't want to aggravate a heart condition."

Wobbery: Steal Words From Friends 2.0 is available in the app store for iPhone and iPad today.

New In This Release:
* iPhone support
* Real time and turn based network play
* In game hints
* Improved computer opponents

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 21.8 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Wobbery: Steal Words From Friends 2.0 is free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

Students Jump Higher with new Middle School Algebra App for iPad - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Monkey in the Middle Apps introduces Middle School Algebra 8th Grade 1.0, their new educational game for iOS. While helping the monkey jump from level to level, students practice their middle school Algebra 1 topics. The app gives students a fun way to practice at their own pace until they're comfortable with each topic. The quiz topics have been carefully chosen to follow common Algebra textbooks and core standards. Each quiz also includes review notes and links to online tutorials and videos.

Longmont, Colorado - Monkey in the Middle Apps announces the launch of their new educational game, Middle School Algebra 8th Grade, which is available now from the App Store. While helping the monkey jump from level to level, students practice their middle school Algebra 1 topics. Joining the previously released Math, Science, and Vocabulary apps, Middle School Algebra 8th Grade help fills the "app gap" for junior high students.

Algebra truly is a big jump in Mathematics because it is the first time students see variables and symbols instead of just numbers. Unfortunately, it's also a place where many kids get stuck and give up on Math. Our children need to succeed and feel confident in their Algebra skills so they can move on to Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus in high school.

Fun for Students:
The Middle School Algebra 8th Grade app gives students a fun way to practice at their own pace until they're comfortable with each topic. The big change with the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch is that this isn't just happening in the classroom. Learning takes place in small chunks whenever and wherever it is convenient - on the bus, waiting for a soccer game, or at home.

"The goal of all of our apps is to make learning fun" explained Andrew Meier, co-founder and CTO. "If students enjoy playing the games, they won't even notice how much they've been learning."

Teacher Approved:
While it's fun for students, this app has been designed for teachers. The quiz topics have been carefully chosen to follow common Algebra textbooks and core standards. Each quiz also includes review notes and links to online tutorials and videos. Most importantly, teachers can track progress for an entire classroom using either score emails or web based reports.

The free app includes four quizzes: Words to Equations, Evaluating Expressions, 1 Step Equations, and 2 Step Equations. The Pro version adds quizzes on Linear Equations, Multi-step Equations, Inequalities, Systems Equations, Rational Equations, and Exponential Functions.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 28.4 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Middle School Algebra 8th Grade works on all versions of iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch with iOS 4.3 or later. It is free and is available now from the App Store. Middle School Algebra Pro 8th Grade is also available now from the App Store for 99 cents. A 50% educational discount is available through the Apple Volume Purchasing Program for Education.

Student protesters use anonymous chat app in anti-government rally - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Student protests have been continuing in Hungary all week with students occupying university and government buildings and holding mass marches to disrupt city traffic. The young protesters have been spotted to use Loki, a new location-based iPhone app that offers an anonymous chat service for nearby users. Loki is a location based people-discovery application that uses GPS location data to offer users chats with people nearby.

Budapest, Hungary - Student protests have been continuing throughout the past week with the yet largest mass rally taking place today at 17:00 CET in front of the parliament building. Last week the government announced drastic changes in the state funding of higher education which resulted in spontaneous protests all over the country, with students occupying university and government buildings and holding mass marches to disrupt city traffic. The young protesters have been spotted to use Loki, a new location-based iPhone app that offers an anonymous chat service for nearby users.

Loki is a location based people-discovery application that uses GPS location data to offer users chats with people nearby, suggesting the idea that if you find someone interesting online, you can actually go and meet this person(s). This is of course very useful for a mass event where you want to quickly propagate information to people who are in the same area.

Loki lets users drop pics and messages on the map, broadcasting them to the phones of nearby users. Nearby users can in turn react to these broadcasts, which then become a sort of chatroom where the users interacting with the post can see and interact with each other.

And just like chatrooms, Loki lets people use anonymous nicks so no personal information is revealed to other users unvoluntarily. This feature seems to run perfectly with the needs of these youngsters, who seem to be very quick in adapting new technologies to their needs. No surprise that this anonymous chat app is also seeing great pickup in more closed societies, where the option of anonimity seems to have more importance for people who are looking to make new friendships.

Loki keeps users safe by encouraging them to use anonymous nicks, and by user's location off the app, only the messages and pics they exchange are shown on the map. A built-in decaying mechanism also supports the privacy of the conversations and content posted within the app - everything that is put on the map simply disappear once they become obsolete.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.0 or later
* 4.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Loki 1.0.4 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

New Collaborator Magazine Debuts on iPad - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Independent developer Jeffrey Clark announced today the public launch of Collaborator Magazine. Debuting on Apple's iPad Newsstand, the magazine brings together a digital media community from across myriad sectors, including non-profit professionals, public servants, social entrepreneurs, activists, community builders, and concerned citizens, who are interested in forging relationships to address social problems and promote the common good.

Baltimore, Maryland - Independent developer Jeffrey Clark is thrilled to announce today the public launch of Collaborator Magazine. Debuting on Apple's iPad Newsstand, Collaborator is the world's first monthly digital periodical that explores how we advance society by working together. The inaugural issue is complementary for prospective readers.

The magazine brings together a digital media community from across myriad sectors: non-profit professionals, public servants, social entrepreneurs, activists, community builders, and concerned citizens who are interested in forging relationships to address social problems and promote the common good. Readers will find works on social innovations, grassroots initiatives, and tips for collaborating and forming partnerships. Topics include governance and citizen engagement, media reflections, the environment, business, personal well-being, arts and culture. The magazine is complemented by a blog, and forums on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter for engaging with fellow readers in topical discussions.

The premiere issue features an in-depth interview with Jeff Raderstrong, founder of the UnSectored community platform. Also presented are tips on how to collaborate with others from positions of leadership, a piece on setting audacious goals for our communities, an argument for re-thinking how society is governed, the opportunity to join a global awareness campaign, and a case-study about a neighborhood group who started their own solar co-op.

The magazine was founded by Publisher and Editor Jeffrey Clark after he struggled to find tablet based periodicals dedicated to advancing the social good. He brings over a decade of experience working in public and private agencies, training and educational institutions, and print and digital media. Clark has masters degrees in social work and social justice in intercultural relations.

"It's becoming increasingly clear that competing for funds, for clients, for recognition prevents us from addressing the social ills that surround us," says Clark. "Collaborator Magazine is committed to forging a community around the idea that we can achieve more when we work together."

Device Requirements:
* Runs on iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* File Size: 3.1 MB (app), 20 MB (average issue size)

Giftwrapp - Shaping the Future of Digital Gifting - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thomas Waterfall introduces Giftwrapp 1.1.0.0, his innovative new lifestyle application developed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. With digital gifting growing in popularity, 'Giftwrapp' aims to make the experience more fun, engaging, and cooler than ever before. Giftwrapp is free of charge to users who wish to unwrap a digital gift they have received via the application, while those wishing to send a gift via 'Giftwrapp' can do so through a simple in-app purchase.

London, United Kingdom - Thomas Waterfall is delighted to announce the release of the innovative new lifestyle application, 'Giftwrapp,' which will be available worldwide from 14 December 2012 exclusively from iTunes, and is compatible with all iOS mobile devices. 'Giftwrapp' is free of charge to users who wish to unwrap a digital gift they have received via the application, while those wishing to send a gift via 'Giftwrapp' can do so through a simple in-app purchase.

With digital gifting growing in popularity, 'Giftwrapp' aims to make the experience more fun, engaging, and cooler than ever before, by bringing the digital gift experience as close as possible to that of receiving a physical one. Although there is an ever increasing demand for digital gifting, simply sending a gift via e-mail that the receiver can view immediately doesn't provide an exciting or memorable experience for consumers.

'Giftwrapp,' has the potential to revolutionise digital gifting forever, bringing users those personal, thoughtful touches that truly make a gift stand out as being special. Using 'Giftwrapp,' users can fully customise their gift, with almost 20,000 different ways to personalise a gift using the in-built standard gift pack, with many more available to purchase from within the application itself. Aspects of each digital gift that can be personalised include the wrapping paper, ribbon, bow, and gift tag. There is even a function for those sending gifts to add their own personal message for the receiver on the back of the gift tag. Additional digital wrapping packs will be introduced throughout the year, so that those available constantly remain relevant with current trends.

'Giftwrapp' goes even further to replicating the real life gift experience with the addition of a timer function, to ensure a gift is only unwrapped when the time is right. Whether sending a gift for Christmas, a birthday, or an anniversary, the sender simply sets the date of the occasion, so the receiver cannot open the gift until the pre-determined time. Agonisingly, the gift recipient feels the anticipation build as they watch the timer count down, just like the thrill of seeing presents under the tree that you can't open until Christmas.

When the time comes to unwrap the digital gift, users interact with their mobile device to reveal what it is one-step at a time, fully replicating the real life experience of reading a personal message, removing the bow, the ribbon, and finally eagerly tearing away the wrapping paper. 'Giftwrapp' is the only mobile application in the market that goes so far in replicating a real-life gift experience by digitally recreating the anticipation and excitement associated with receiving.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 6.0 or later
* 143 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Giftwrapp 1.1.0.0 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Lifestyle category.

Download From iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id502491505
Media Assets: http://giftwrapp.appromoter.com/

Appsmiths Ltd began when co-founder Tom Waterfall had the brainwave idea for Giftwrapp. He had the idea on Christmas Day 2011 when he and his family were discussing how boring Christmas Day will be when all of the music and videos are exchanged online and presents had to be opened through emails. He approached Frank Rush who he knew to be a fantastic developer through a mutual friend, and for the best part of a year have worked on Giftwrapp. As they are a new and emerging company, Appsmiths are currently working solely on this one app. They have a pipeline of fun ideas to introduce into Giftwrapp over the coming months, and once it has taken off (fingers crossed) will have the opportunity to work on other apps they have already had ideas for.

Groovideo helps users create videos with friends - Published on 12/17/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

California based Groovideo recently launched its collaborative video tool allowing a group of friends to record and automatically edit videos without the hassle of editing. Groovideo 4.5 will enable groups to create videos while each person recording their own video segment separately. The application then automatically collects the different videos and edits them into one collaborative video, aiming to simplify the process while integrating fun effects and soundtrack.

Cupertino, California - Groovideo's web and iPhone apps, launched out of Silicon Valley Accelerator UpWest Labs, will enable groups to create videos while each person recording their own video segment separately. The application then automatically collects the different videos and edits them into one collaborative video, aiming to simplify the process while integrating fun effects and soundtrack.

As the holidays creep up, everyone seems to be looking for new and innovative ways to let loved ones know that they care. Thus, Groovideo is providing our users with new, high-tech ways to celebrate and connect with friends and family both locally and around the world.

The idea for Groovideo came from the founders' personal attempt to assemble videos with friends for a special occasion. They quickly realized that they needed to schedule, record, and finally work long hours to edit the video. One more challenge was that some of their friends were scattered around the world making it difficult to implement.

Groovideo offers a simple solution to creating group videos. Users select the content they want in the video from a template of music and elements, and send Facebook invitations to friends who are then instructed on what to record.

These instructions, designed to simplify the video editing process, relay the specific nature of the video greeting and the allotted time frame to record. Each invitee records their own part using their mobile devices, and with each new participant joining the video is automatically reedited into a new video featuring them inside.

Groovideo's unique editing algorithm combines both high-end image prepossessing algorithms and special editing heuristics. The team worked with top-notch video editors and created different kind of templates and editing algorithms for different kinds of videos. The end result is very unique and it can be automatically reedited into different kinds of videos from the same footage.

Groovideo is aimed for users who want to record video greetings for special occasions. It is starting with occasion-based videos because it is fun and emotionally engaging for our users. However users who currently engage with this product already requesting added features and providing the team with more exciting ideas for future use cases.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3/4/5 gen) and iPad
* Requires iOS 5.0 or later
* 13.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Groovideo 4.5 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Photo & Video category.

Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer works with Photoshop to reduce InDesign link size by eliminating excess image data; perform essential image adjustments; convert image formats and much more.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today is thrilled to announce that its workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign, LinkOptimizer, is available at 50% off on TheMacBundles. LinkOptimizer is featured as a weekly special until December 23, which allows users to save $130 on each copy. Awarded 4 out of 5 starts by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, cut processing time and reduce production costs. The software is designed to meet the needs of ad agencies, prepress bureaus, printers and publishing houses, whether they target print, web or mobile devices.

"LinkOptimizer makes cutting huge linked images down to size a cinch," says Computer Arts. "For those wanting to quickly optimize their images and cut down on processing time, LinkOptimizer is a very smart choice."

In order to eliminate excess image data, LinkOptimizer automatically scales and crops the images in Photoshop to match their dimensions in InDesign, changes resolution according to the target resolution specified, and reimports images to InDesign at 100%. As a result, the size of InDesign job can be reduced dramatically - some jobs can shrink by 50% and more.

In addition, with just a click of a button users can:
* Convert all RGB images to CMYK
* Resave all JPEG images as TIFF
* Delete hidden layers and apply sharpening
* Run Photoshop action on each image
* Back up images and assign variable names
* And much more

As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer can be purchased from TheMacBundles online at 50% off for $129.97 (USD) until December 23 only. Trial version is also available for download. LinkOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.5-10.8, a Universal Binary and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CS6.
