Never Miss a Moment with Group Albums from KODAK Gallery

Emeryville, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

KODAK Gallery (http://www.kodakgallery.com), the only online photo service uniquely designed for celebrating KODAK MOMENTS together, is changing the way people share photos with the launch of Group Albums. Group photo sharing is easier than ever. Multiple people can now upload, share and comment on photos all in one place, for free. The company has also announced a new version of the KODAK Gallery app for the iPhone devices. Using the app on the device makes it the easiest way for a group of friends to collect and share all the photos they take together at party or on a trip. Whether the pictures are on a mobile phone or digital camera, they can be shared and saved in one convenient place.

With Group Albums, a group of friends can easily collect, share, and interact with every moment they capture together by camera at a party or on a trip by starting a Group Album at kodakgallery.com/groupalbum. Simply collect, share and invite others from the event to contribute their own photos to the Group Album. All photos can be downloaded in full-resolution online for free, can be used to create a video slideshow of the event or turned into photo products such as books and calendars.

Everyones been at an event where multiple people are taking pictures. Those pictures end up fragmented across emails, texts, and social networks. Or even worse, theyre not shared at all, said Victor Cho, General Manager of KODAK Gallery, Eastman Kodak Company. Now with a KODAK Gallery Group Album and our new application for the iPhone device, a group of friends or family can instantly and privately collect, share and interact with all of the special moments from an event, in one easy-to-access place.

A Group Album can be started online at kodakgallery.com or right from an iPhone using the mobile app. Like all sharing tools at KODAK Gallery, members of the album can privately share pictures and invite others to join and participate by sending an email, text or FACEBOOK message. Once people join the album they can add photos and comments, plus invite others from the event to contribute their pictures.

More than 20 million photos have been uploaded to a Group Album and more than half a million through the mobile app, said Mark Cook, Vice President of Products. Whats most important is the joy people feel having all the pictures from an event; for example, a bride who has hundreds of pictures her guests took at her wedding reception. With our new mobile app, people can start sharing and interacting with those pictures while the event is still going on.

MOBILE APPLICATION

The KODAK Gallery app for iPhone devices allows users to start and participate in a Group Album. In addition, it includes other major feature enhancements such as multi-photo uploads; hundreds of ways to share; access to all pictures and albums in a KODAK Gallery account; and push notifications when photos, comments and Likes are added to an album.

The app addresses the shifting trends in consumer photo sharing behavior. The number of KODAK Gallery photo slideshows viewed on a mobile phone has increased almost 170% in the last year, and according to a recent survey 65% of 18-34 year-olds plan to take pictures this holiday season using their mobile phones.

The KODAK Gallery app for the iPhone device is currently available in the App Store and has received a 4

Reader Ratings and Book Reviews from Goodreads Being Added to NoveList Products

Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) June 22, 2011

NoveList, a division of EBSCO Publishing, will begin incorporating reader ratings and book reviews from Goodreads into NoveList products thanks to a new agreement between the companies. The agreement leverages the content of Goodreads, the largest social network for readers, adding additional content to the most popular readers advisory service available.

The agreement brings together two companies that are dedicated to fostering a love of reading while sharing a belief that libraries have a key role to play in a community of readers. Goodreads has more than five million members and polls indicate Goodreads members have strong ties to libraries. In one poll, thirty percent of the nearly 17,000 respondents indicated that they went to the library for more of their books, eclipsing brick and mortar chain bookstores (twenty-two percent) and online stores (eighteen percent).

Independent market research indicated that NoveList is the most highly-rated readers advisory resource in public libraries. NoveList Select allows libraries to add NoveList content into library catalogs allowing users to leverage the library catalog to discover new books and similar titles in the librarys collection. The agreement now allows Goodreads content to be incorporated into that same user experience.

Vice President of Business Development at Goodreads, Kyusik Chung, says this agreement is the companys first product specifically for libraries. At Goodreads, we are passionate about helping people discover the next book they should read. The NoveList and NoveList Select products are the premier tools that libraries use to help patrons choose their next book. EBSCO Publishing is the ideal integration partner as we offer our 11 million book reviews and 110 million ratings to librarians and their patrons.

NoveList founder Duncan Smith says the agreement brings together resources that are well matched to provide an even greater service to librarians and readers alike. Goodreads and NoveList not only share an interest in reading and reading recommendations but recognize and value the role that libraries play in supporting and sustaining reading in their communities. Im looking forward to not only having Goodreads ratings and excellent reviews in all of our products but continuing to work with them and our customers on how this relationship can best help libraries meet the needs of their readers.

The partnership between NoveList and Goodreads not only provides additional information for readers searching the library catalog, the added information will help librarians answer one of their most frequently asked questionswhat do I read next? Smith says librarians are always being asked for their recommendations. With Goodreads we can point the user to thousands of readers who have read and commented on the books readers are considering.

Dr. Mary K. Chelton is a professor at the Graduate School of Library and Information Studies at Queens College in New York. Chelton, a noted researcher and advocate for readers advisory service whose students are studying the use of social technologies in readers advisory says,

Goodreads and NoveList are two sides of the same coin with the reader's voice at the center. Combining their different but mutually reinforcing strengths for readers and the librarians serving them can only be a cause for celebration.

Barry Trott, the head of adult services at Williamsburg Regional Library in Virginia says the combined resources serve both readers advisory professionals and readers. The combination of NoveList and Goodreads is a great match. It combines the potency of expertise from librarians and literature professionals with the benefits of collaborative reader crowdsourcing. This will offer new opportunities for readers' advisors and readers to build on each other's strengths. I am excited about the possibilities that this coming together presents. Williamsburg is an innovative library that is already using social technologies to reach readers. Williamsburgs Blogging for a Good Book blog won ALAs Louis Shore Award in 2009 and has also been referred to as the future of book reviewing. Williamsburg staff members have also authored several standard readers advisory print resources for Libraries Unlimited.

Point Roberts, WA, - http://www.nanotechnologyinvestment.com, a global research portal for the nanotechnology investment community is pleased to update investors on recent news and events within the sector evidencing the long-term investment opportunities for nanotechnology. The formation of the Merrily Lynch Nanotech Index and recent $ 115million Registration for Nanosys, Inc are significant indicators that the institutional investment community is now agreeing with avid retail investors, that Nanotech does represent long-term potential. According to recent research from Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com), the global annual industrial production in the nanotech sectors is estimated to exceed $ 1 trillion in the next 10 to 15 years.

On April 01, 2004, Merrill launched an index of 25 companies, and has already dropped several companies from the original index and added new companies based on defining the merging field criteria. The American Stock Exchange quoted index, NNZ.A, includes companies like Nanophase (NANX) and Harris & Harris (TINY).

Packaging Executive Challenges Industry to Heed Lessons From the Legacy of Steve Jobs

Marlton, N.J. (PRWEB) October 26, 2011

Following the passing of Steve Jobs, the president of T.H.E.M. Technical Help in Engineering and Marketing) publicly expressed his belief that the packaging industry can greatly benefit from the many lessons to be learned from his legacy of forward thinking, personal drive and relentless pursuit of perfection.

"When one of the world's most successful game changers passes away, it's worth taking the time to reflect on how his thinking can help all of us." says Neil Kozarsky, long-time president of T.H.E.M. "I believe that what Jobs taught us about vision, persistence, and exceptionalism can and must have a real impact on the future of packaging."

Kozarsky pointed to the daunting fact that Jobs never relied on consumer research to plot the course of personal computing and his mobile communications vision. "Steve Jobs had the ability to put himself in the consumer's shoes, to imagine fulfilling his own wants and needs, and he had the strength of character to make it happen," says Kozarsky. "The consumer experience was more important to him than any other factor. That is exactly how we need to be thinking in the packaging industry."

When you look back at the career of Steve Jobs from a branding point of view, you realize how pivotal a role packaging played in his success as an innovator and marketer. More than anyone else in the consumer electronics industry, Jobs realized the critical potential of packaging. The look he gave his products was consistently clean and fresh, from the early multi-colored MACS to the iPod nanos. Everything had to be sleek, trim and good looking. His packaging was as much a statement of cultural sensibility as it was a means to deliver and differentiate the goods.

"His products had to do more than perform uniquely," says Kozarsky. "They had to look different. Today's marketers have the same opportunity to distinguish their products with every new launch or line extension. It's up to us, in the packaging industry, to give them the tools and the encouragement to keep pushing the creative envelop. We have to remember that before Steve Jobs, computers were no sexier than early fax machines."

There is no disputing the fact that Steve Jobs did more than create exciting products that delighted and delivered on their promise beyond expectations. But he was also one of the most influential packaging innovators of our time.

Jobs also proved to every product manufacturer that it pays to seek perfection. His unwillingness to compromise in any aspect of product development, design and manufacture is legendary. Cost-effectiveness always factored in. It had to. But Jobs was never afraid to ask his customer base to pay a little more for an experience over and above the ordinary.

Celebrate Black History Month With A Gift Of Historical Significance From Thomas Blackshear's Award-Winning Collection

Ripon, CA (PRWEB) January 7, 2010

Now that the holiday season is over, what better way to ring in the New Year than to start making plans for a Black History Month Celebration? Only a few weeks away, the month of February is set aside to focus on the many momentous events and courageous feats of Black Americans. Just in time to commemorate some of these great contributions, internationally acclaimed artist, Thomas Blackshear unveils several new designs of historical significance. Each piece of his collection can be purchased from Collector Hub for yourself or as a thought-provoking gift that will arouse interest and inspire style for any decor.

Barack Obama figurine & bust

Beginning with the highest office in the land, Blackshear presents a handsome figurine of our 44th President and Commander in Chief, Barack Obama, an artistically detailed rendition produced by the famous Lenox China Company, our president stands in front of two American flags as he looks toward the future as Leader of the Free World.

In a candid interview, Thomas explains the inspiration that led him to create the Obama figurine. "The reason why I wanted to do the Obama piece was because something was happening in this country that had never been done before. This was a piece of history that was unfolding right before our eyes. Who ever thought that we would have a black president in our life time, and it's already happened."

Winner of the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize, Obama's election was a historic event, not only for Black History but for the history of the United States. In addition to the figurine, Blackshear is introducing the Barack Obama Bust, a stately sculpture that adds distinction to any room. Both presidential pieces ship February in plenty of time to celebrate Black History Month.

The Tuskegee Airmen

Taking a step back in time, Blackshear salutes The Tuskegee Airmen of WWII, dedicated, determined young black men who enlisted to become America's first black military airmen. Part of the award winning Ebony Visions collection and a first in its series, The Airman is a realistically detailed figurine that portrays the proud courage of those brave men who fought for America while battling racial injustice both here and abroad. History buffs and military collectors will appreciate the authenticity of the airman's flight gear. An honorable piece that is sure to incite intelligent conversation and in-depth studies into the historic contributions of Black Americans.

African-American Nativity Series

Another new addition to Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions, collection is the much awaited and highly anticipated Wise Man and The Nativity Camel. The fifth and sixth pieces in the Nativity Series that also includes Joseph, Mary, Baby Jesus, and the Angel Gabriel along with The Nativity Donkey and Sheep with Lamb figurines. Each piece is painstakingly detailed and brought to life in full color. Like all of Blackshear's Ebony Visions collection, the Nativity features a blend of African culture and Art Nouveau that Thomas refers to as Afro-Nouveau, as he explains, "Ebony Visions is inspired by art deco works that have been practiced for centuries, all I did was put a black face on it."

Four-Part Military Series

Rounding out these poignant pieces of the Ebony Visions collections is the first of its series, United We Stand--Army. Blackshear does a splendid job of capturing the bravery and integrity of a young soldier and what better time than Black History Month to honor our heroic men and women in the armed forces? This four-part military series will eventually include the Navy, Air Force and Marines figurines.

Mother Teresa United States Postal Stamp

Award-winning artist, Thomas Blackshear is widely known for his many works including illustrations for the United States Postal Service. His most recent contribution is a portrait of Mother Teresa, Nobel Peace Prize honoree, she was known worldwide for her humanitarian efforts of ministering to the poor and indigent. On August 26, 2010, Mother Teresa's 100th birthday, the USPS will honor her life's work with the release of a commemorative stamp featuring Blackshear's heart-warming portrait of her.

About Thomas Blackshear

Bringing history to life, Blackshear describes his work with the U.S. Postal Service as a blessing from God. Thomas says he will always remember the day he received a message from Jerry Pinkney, a well-known black illustrator he had always admired, asking if he would be interested in finishing a series of illustrations for the U.S. Postal Service's Black Heritage stamp series. Beginning with number 10 in the series, Thomas illustrated stamps from 1986 until 1989. These works include Jean Baptiste, James Weldon Johnson, Asa Philip Randolph, and Ida B. Wells. In 1990, the post office released a group of 50th anniversary movie poster stamps also illustrated by Thomas such as The Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Stagecoach, Beau Geste, and Dracula. In 1991 he was commissioned by the United States Postal Service to illustrate a book called "I Have A Dream," (A Collection of Black Americans on U.S. Postage Stamps). Today this is a sought after collectible item in the philatelic world.

"One of the driving forces that make Mr. Blackshear's art so attractive to collectors is its constantly escalating value on the secondary market," exclaims Larraine Covington, Community Director of Collector Hub. "The Storyteller, one of the most sought-after pieces of all time from the Ebony Visions collection, has been sold out since 1996. It originally sold for $ 410 in 1995, and is currently trading on the secondary market for up to $ 5000."

Winner of the coveted International Collectible Artist award, Thomas Blackshear's work has won him worldwide recognition as one of the hottest contemporary collectible artists in the world. His Black Heritage works premiered at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History. He has also been featured on The 700 Club, Ebony/Jet Showcase, and in The Saturday Evening Post. In addition to his designs for the USPS, Blackshear has created works for Disney, Coca-Cola, National Geographic, and Universal Studios, just to name a few.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) October 5, 2010

TabbedOut, the secure and innovative way to pay your bar or restaurant tab with a smartphone, today announced that the company has secured $ 2.05 million in funding from New Enterprise Associates, Inc. (NEA) in a Series A round of venture funding.

The round will be used to extend lighthouse markets onto a national stage, continue to build out the companys hospitality partner network, and enhance TabbedOuts breakthrough mobile payment technology.

The TabbedOut product works with existing point-of-sale systems removing the need for merchants to purchase any new equipment while patrons are able to checkout without presenting a credit card and receipts are emailed to them afterwards.

NEA was an obvious fit because of their expertise in IT, mobile and security and were confident our collective efforts will bring TabbedOut to a city near you soon said Rick Orr, Co-Founder and CEO of TabbedOut. Weve already seen great adoption in our test markets and are looking forward to expanding into other areas where mobile payments will make life easier for merchants and their patrons.

Sandell focuses on information technology investing and has led NEAs investments in industry-leading companies like Salesforce.com, WebEx and Data Domain.

In the rapidly expanding mobile payments market, TabbedOut is emerging as a leader in both innovation and security, said Sandell. The team has a tremendous depth of experience in security software and card payments, garnered at leading companies like Whole Security, MPOWER Labs and Symantec. Were thrilled to partner with TabbedOut as they scale their operations and really deliver on the potential of this incredible technology.

TabbedOut also recently brought on Kevin McKeand, former VP of Strategic Account Sales for AT&T Wi-Fi Services (acquired as Wayport in 2008), to serve as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
