  • Backup your most important data using Genie Timeline Professional v2

    genie-box.gifBacking up the right kind of data is hard work for most business users. For example, how many times have we backed up our documents, accounts, other work files and user data, but forgotten vital files such as our font collection. If you purchase commercial fonts, you normally get a once-only opportunity to download and store on your computer. The aren’t cheap, either, particularly for a multi-seat commercial license. Make sure you safeguard important files such as this in a secure location.

    Genie Timeline 2.0 Professional is a superb backup application that enables you to choose the type of files you want to backup, such as your email, office files, documents and more, choose a destination, set a schedule and leave the files to backup. If you ever need to recover your data, you can reverse the progress. As the name suggest, the ‘timeline’ approach to backup enables you to quickly select a backup made previously, rather than a more recent backup.

    Best of all, we have Genie Timeline 2.0 Profesional within the V3.co.uk Software Store for only $39.95, rather than the RRP of $59.95!

  • Scanning the World for Reliable Suppliers, Panjiva Seeks to Bring Order to a Messy Process

    Erin Kutz wrote:

    If you’re in an industry where you depend on suppliers from across the globe, searching the Web for a part or a collaborator isn’t exactly as easy as trying to figure out where you should eat dinner. Josh Green discovered this around 2005 when he was a Harvard Business School student interning at E Ink, the maker of the screen behind Amazon’s Kindle, and needed to find a supplier for an electronic component.

    It wasn’t easy. So he started talking to MIT computer science student Jim Psota, who he had already been working with on putting together a startup. In 2006 they incorporated Panjiva, a Web company that aims to simplify the supplier search process for businesses of all sizes. Their product is out to tell manufacturers and retailers everything from who they can order parts from, to whether or not a potential supplier is stable enough to work with, to what their top competitors are shipping.

    “We’ve built a Google-like product, but we’re organizing information specific to the global trading space,” says Psota, the co-founder and chief technology officer, who I spoke with at the company’s Cambridge, MA, headquarters (CEO Green leads the operations in New York).

    Panjiva (a play on the name of the supercontinent Pangea) is based on a system of data mining algorithms, machine learning, and natural language processing that culls numbers from more than 10 sources, like U.S. Customs. After Green and Psota found their initial inspiration for the business, they spent a few years developing the product, and raising angel and venture financing. Its backers include Battery Ventures and angels like eBay veteran and Stanford professor Michael Dearing, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg, and David Frankel of the Founder Collective, Psota says. Panjiva’s Web-based, industry-comprehensive search tool launched in April 2009. Home Depot was its first customer.

    The core of the Panjiva product is its search engine, where users can find suppliers by searching for parts, or get more information on a particular supplier they have come across by searching their name. Panjiva’s database has more than 1.5 million companies (including suppliers and customers) from more than 190 countries. Its interface is made to allow users to sift through that deep set of data to find a short list of potential partners. Panjiva customers use drilldown menus based on variables such as country, certifications, shipping date, or the health of the supplier’s business.

    “The raw data that we get in is very messy, it provides disparate data points that are not that interesting in and of themselves to helping the user,” explains Psota. “The secret sauce is taking the disparate and messy data sources and boiling them down and cleaning them up.”

    Once users get a manageable list of suppliers they could potentially purchase from, they can select a particular company to view a complex profile, which includes information such as …Next Page »












  • From Bootstrap to VC: Appature Doubles Size in a Year, Looks for Next Defining Moment in Health IT

    Appature
    Gregory T. Huang wrote:

    What happens to a scrappy, profitable startup after it decides to take its first round of venture funding? Cynics might say the founders will give up too much control to venture capitalists, focus on growth while sacrificing profits, and try to make a splash in a bigger market before it’s ready.

    Seattle-based Appature would say none of the above.

    So far, at least, the healthcare marketing software company doesn’t seem too fat and happy with itself. On a recent visit to Appature’s offices in downtown Seattle, chief executive Kabir Shahani and chief technology officer Chris Hahn gave me the lowdown on how the company is working closely with its investors to grow responsibly. That includes adding some key new staff members (see below), and finding ways to attract new customers without spending huge amounts of cash.

    What makes Appature unusual is that it was already a successful, bootstrapped company when it decided to pursue a dream of capturing a bigger market, which required taking venture capital. But that kind of experience is starting to become the norm in venture-backed software startups. Gone are the days of pre-revenue companies getting fat Series A checks, just because VCs want in on a fad. In Appature’s case, first came the profits, then the Series A check. And it has used the cash wisely. Appature has doubled in size over the past year, growing to about 20 employees. The company hit a rough patch in 2009, like most, but now appears to be back on track for major growth.

    Here’s the quick back story. Shahani and Hahn founded Appature in early 2007. They had met previously at Seattle-based social networking startup Blue Dot. The basic idea behind Appature was to make marketing and customer relationship management more efficient in the healthcare industry through software. They quickly found paying customers and became profitable in their first year, while growing slowly. Then, last December, the company raised $3.5 million in first-round funding from Seattle-area investors Ignition Partners, Madrona Venture Group, and Founder’s Co-op.

    Appature’s software helps companies in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer health and wellness deliver targeted marketing campaigns, track marketing activity and performance, and learn about their customers via sophisticated business intelligence and analytics tools. As Shahani explained at an Xconomy event earlier this month, Appature can help healthcare companies reach doctors and other customers more directly and effectively through the Web, social media, e-mail, direct mail, trade shows, and other marketing channels. “It’s about building the right workflow around the doctor’s day,” Shahani said. “How do I streamline all that information that’s coming in? For big companies, how do you get the right message to [doctors and healthcare providers]?”

    What he means is that many doctors are under pressure to see more patients per day, and spend less time with them, to get the kind of insurance reimbursement they need to run their offices. Then there’s the deluge of clinical data and medical publications that they need to keep up with. It’s all made doctors busier than ever, and has made it hard for healthcare sales reps to spend much time to get to know them and what their patients really need. So, healthcare companies need to be more strategic …Next Page »

  • Even more Windows Phone 7 titbits

    Windows Phone 7WMExperts have extracted some WP7 info from a presentation by Microsoft’s William Steele on "Building Applications on Windows Phone 7 with XNA" at IndyTechFest.

    They reveal some interesting points, such as rendering for XNA games will be locked to a 30fps frame rate, Silverlight apps will show up in the apps menu and XNA games in the games menu or hub, there will not be a cross over between Xbox marketplace on your console and the Windows Phone marketplace, and Microsoft is working on in-app purchasing, but this will not be available at release, but that in-game upgrades from trial to full versions will however be available.

  • Windows Live Sync to get Windows Phone support?

    Windows Live Wave 4

    Windows Live Sync is a Microsoft Live service which will allow users to sync files and settings between Windows desktops.

    The description below is from the latest version coming in Wave 4 of Microsoft’s Live Essentials release:

    • Sync folders across all your PCs (and Macs) Windows Live Sync keeps your files and folders, such as Documents, Pictures and
      Music, in sync across your computers so you can work or play wherever you want. Update a file on one computer, and it will automatically sync to the rest. Once your folders are synchronized, your files are available even when you don’t have internet access.
    • Program settings sync Star Share settings for your favorite programs across your PCs, so programs work the same way on every PC in your home.
    • Remote Desktop Star Leave your PC online and you can access it from devices.live.com. Find your PC among the list of devices on the website, and click Connect to remotely control your PC.

    Of note is that the service features closely match the features available in Microsoft’s Live Mesh service, which raises questions about Windows Phone support.

    The above icon set, taken from the leaked Live Sync client, does lend some hope, with a Devices Icon which appears to show a pretty familiar Windows Mobile handset.

    It seems Microsoft is using Windows Phone 7 as an opportunity to pull together many services, with the cell phone one of the major hubs, hopefully remedying a long-standing failing.


  • More Windows Phone 7 titbits

    LG Panther WMExperts have collected a few more Windows Phone 7 facts from an hour-long video interview of Brandon Watson, Microsoft’s Director of Developer Experience at their backstage event.

    They note:

    • Final version of developer tools will be available "months" before final release of hardware.
    • New builds of WP7 developer tools every month or two
    • Developers: Do expect access to WP7 phones! More info coming soon…
    • Hundreds of thousands of downloads of WP7 dev tools already
    • 2 million C# developers in the US  –> all potential WP7 developers
    • If you’re a competent Silverlight developer, you should be able to build WP7 apps in just a few hours.
    • 3rd party apps won’t be able to use email attachments
    • No support for in-browser Silverlight at this time, didn’t make the cut
    • Business experience was not "main concern" with this initial release; consumer UX was.
    • Rejection of apps will feature a bullet list of things to fix to get it in, no vagaries
    • OEM applications can’t multitask either
    • No restriction on programming tools as long it compiles down to their common language runtime (C# only, more languages later)
    • Socket support for WP7 will come later but is not in initial release.
    • Markets of availability have not yet been announced (i.e. U.S. release vs. Europe)

    Much of it is confirmation from what we know before, but of note is that developer phones are coming (hopefully soon), 3rd party apps will not be able to open e-mail attachments (a major minus for an OS that does not have a file system), phones may not come to Europe at the same time as US (!) and that socket support for apps is planned eventually.

  • J Allard ousted over Courier decision?

    J Allard championed the Courier project In more Microsoft news, one of Microsoft’s most anticipated products on the last 6 months has been the Microsoft Courier, an advanced note-taking device with both pen and finger input.  Unfortunately Microsoft has recently announced that the device was never really intended to be a product, and has now been dropped.

    According to Mary Jo Foley from the ZDNet blog there is much more to the story than that.  Apparently the device was J Allard’s, who steered the XBox 360 to success, pet project, and one he took personal offense from when it was cancelled.

    Engadget claimed this resulted in a heated exchange with Steve Ballmer and with Allard eventually “being shown the door”.  At present he is on a lengthy sabbatical that may see him never return to Microsoft.

    According to Mary Jo’s sources Allard was somewhat of a visionary in the company.

    “Allard was a key guy on Xbox and organizationally he was set up to drive innovations like Courier. He was one of the few there that really was willing to think outside the box and has people working on top secret projects off the main campus….He was regarded as being a bit (Apple CEO Steve) Jobs like in that he understood the importance of design, not just function. Hence if he departs Microsoft would lose an important design advocate and innovator.”

    This is of course exactly the kind of talent Microsoft is loathe to lose at this moment, so we certainly hope both J Allard and Microsoft rethink their differences, and not see Microsoft again waiting 3 years to emulate their successful competitors.

  • New Sense Theme, 10/10

    Have you ever seen a theme that has more colors than a Dr.Seuss book? Well today is a new day, and a new theme for you. The theme made by an XDA member who managed to make a great looking theme, with a nice color match, a sleek design, and the nice wallpaper.

    I like this theme, it has a great look to me. I like the strip of color right on the calendar, and notification area, it reminds me of the speaker grill on the HD2. The wallpaper has a nice, simple, but yet elegant look that goes with the Zune colored clock. Everything simple looks great, and matches.

    The theme can be downloaded over at XDA, and just for fun, he has about 6+ more if you are not a colorful person, or if you like something a bit more green, blue, or boring, he has more themes which can be seen below.image image image

  • Some Old SPB Theme But Looks GREAT

    How many of you run SPB Mobile Shell? Now how would like the Touch Flow look for it? Well I do. Today while looking for a new UI due to Sense being very slow on my HD2, I came across this old good looking theme at XDA. The theme while old, is one of the best looking theme you can have for SPB (other than the Windows Phone 7 theme by MSKip).

    The theme is pretty simple. It changes the look of the bottom controls, the design and background, while adding some Sense like icons/widgets. This is all added with a simple CAB installation, and boom, your device has a sleek, fresh as life look.

    If you want to join me in the “Good looking Home Screen” group then download this, install and maybe comment your screen shot or something.

  • Mocospace Moves Beyond Feature Phones, Launching Android and iPhone Apps for Mobile Social Networking

    The Mocospace app on an Android phone
    Wade Roush wrote:

    Boston-based Mocospace, proprietor of one of the country’s largest mobile social networking services, has long kept its focus on users of feature phones—meaning cell phones that can connect to the Internet via built-in Web browsers but that don’t run separate apps. Now, in a major change of tactics, the company has launched Mocospace apps for both Android phones and the iPhone.

    The company soft-launched the apps in the Android Marketplace and the iTunes App Store last week, and officially announced them today.

    Mocospace CEO Justin Siegel says he expects that most users—who come for the service’s mix of chat and media sharing tools, as I’ve detailed in past profiles—will continue to access the service via the mobile Web browsers in their feature phones. But since the beginning of 2010, he says, the company has seen a doubling in the number of users accessing Mocospace from iPhones and Android phones. “Our strategy has been on the browser side of things, but we want to make sure that we are integrating with our users and given them the most and best options possible for accessing Mocospace,” Siegel says.

    And there’s another reason for the shift: the time had come, Siegel says, to get on the app bandwagon. “Very few people think of the mobile space as a browser-based space,” he says. “The constant question, even from our own board and investors and potential partners, was ‘How many people are using your app?’ We’d have to explain that no, this is a browser-based service. We spent so much time explaining why we don’t have an app that we finally said, ‘Let’s just build an app.’”

    Mocospace’s iPhone and Android apps are designed mainly to facilitate live chat, photo uploads and sharing, and profile viewing and commenting. They don’t yet include advertising, virtual currency features, or the other mechanisms Mocospace uses to monetize the Web version of its service, but those features will arrive over the next couple of months, Siegel says.

    Interestingly, today’s news release from Mocospace focused completely on the Android app and didn’t even mention the iPhone app, though it came out concurrently. Siegel says that’s for two reasons: first, “We’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth in our base of Android users,” at a pace outstripping the number of new users connecting over iPhones or BlackBerry devices. Second, according to Siegel, there’s just so much coverage of the iPhone that it’s no longer news when companies launch iPhone apps.

    Overall, the release of the smartphone apps “is not a change in strategy,” Siegel says. “We continue to believe that the browser wins in the long run. In fact, yesterday at Google I/O, Sergey Brin commented that the Web and applications will merge in the not-too-distant future, and we believe that. But as a startup we’re pretty nimble and fast-moving, and apps are going to have a little bit more staying power and play a bigger role than we thought a couple of years ago.”

  • InsideTrip Goes Mainstream, Rates Itinerary Quality, Provides Broad Lessons in Online Travel

    InsideTrip
    Gregory T. Huang wrote:

    Think about the last time you flew anywhere. How would you rate the overall experience? Unless you’re a bird, there were probably things that could have been a lot better—legroom, connection time, delays, quality of service, and so on. In fact, the general level of misery in air travel feels like it’s always going up.

    But when you made your last travel reservation, your decision was probably based on price more than any other factor, with connections and seat assignments as secondary considerations. The question is, would you want more information about the flights themselves before you book them, if it were available?

    That’s what entrepreneur Dave Pelter is currently exploring with his Seattle-based online travel startup, InsideTrip. The company rates each flight based on 12 metrics, such as the age and type of plane, baggage handling record, on-time record, and how crowded it is. For Pelter, it all boils down to one thing: “Do people care about quality?” he asks.

    InsideTrip is part of a new wave of technologies and business models in online travel. It’s not too surprising that Seattle would be a leader in the sector, since this is the backyard of Expedia (which includes TripAdvisor and SeatGuru), Farecast (now part of Microsoft’s Bing Travel), and numerous smaller companies like Yapta and Raveable. Maybe it’s because of the combination of a strong tech community and lousy weather.

    Indeed, several travel startups have been bubbling up around town lately. The newest ones aren’t talking publicly yet about what they’re up to. But they have attracted some interesting players. One of them, TravelPost, was founded by former Expedia execs and backed by Ignition Partners and General Catalyst. Another, Off & Away, is being incubated by Madrona Venture Group.

    Unlike those startups, InsideTrip is ready to talk about what it’s doing. Pelter, a former airline executive and Farecast vice president, sat down with me recently to chat about his company, where it’s headed, and how it fits into the broader story of online travel businesses. As of today, InsideTrip has officially emerged from beta testing mode and is opening its consumer website to the general public. It is also in the process of raising money and signing up new partners and customers for other parts of its business.

    This isn’t the first we’ve heard of InsideTrip. Pelter rolled out the beta version of his website back in March 2008 and got a fair amount of national press. And just last month, he pitched InsideTrip to investors at the “First Look Forum” organized by the Northwest Entrepreneur Network in Seattle—and won as the audience favorite.

    But to fully appreciate what InsideTrip is doing, you need to know Pelter’s background. …Next Page »
