June 29, 2011 – Los Angeles, CA – A new, free location-based services iPhone app called Vidappe [“Vid-app”] sends users discount notifications and reminders in real-time as they’re going about their day. Many people have free discounts they can use thanks to their student ID, employee ID, auto insurance membership card, and more. Vidappe has stored the discount info for 130+ of those cards and sends the user an alert whenever he is physically near a discount relevant for him.



Many plans are brought forth when the founder feels the need to correct some injustice in the world. Vidappe is no exception. Only in this case, the injustice just applied to the founder, Star Li, when she realized she could have been getting cash back for all the money she spent the first three years of college if she had just used a cash back credit card instead of a debit card. After the waves of annoyance and nausea passed with the realization that she could have saved some money if she had just used the right card, Star did some research and discovered something even more amazing – a ton of cards, not just credit cards, offered their cardholders great perks in the form of free discounts.

June 18, 2011 – Sunnyvale, CA – KidSpring Studio, a producer of next generation apps on iPad and Android tablets for early childhood education, has today announced the successful recent release of two new applications for iPad tablets, iPhones and iPod Touch devices. １～１００ (Find & Match Numbers – Sharks) and Alphabet Letter & Number Sequencing – Space Aliens are the latest apps from KidSpring Studio and both will be featured on the popular Moms With Apps App Friday promotion scheduled for Friday June 17, 2011.

１～１００ (Find & Match Numbers – Sharks) is an application designed for early childhood and preschool development which helps to teach children number names from 1 to 100 and challenges them to search, identify and match the numbers. The “Sharks” theme incorporates an oceanic setting with hungry sharks eager to eat matching numbers. The numbers are accompanied by various types of food your child can feed to the sharks. What’s special about this app is while many apps focus on counting and numbers, the majority tend to focus on the introductory concepts geared for younger children (ie, numbers 1 through 10 or 1 through 20) leaving a gap for children who have mastered that range and are ready for subsequent challenges. With 1 – 100 (Find & Match Numbers – Sharks) children will learn through interactive discovery and matching of number characters and names ranging from 1 to 100. The universal app is designed for kindergarten aged children (4,5,6) and offers 5 distinct modes of play which focus on specific number ranges plus a mode for a mix of all numbers between 1 and 100. There is also a teach assist mode which can be turned on in the parental settings menu which gives visual hints to help the children learn unfamiliar numbers.

Last.fm is a popular music recommendation service that helps listeners find more music they may like based on the songs they play. The service tracks the following for each listener: songs played, frequency of song being played, favorite songs and artists, and which friends have similar musical tastes. Music Marquee automatically sends a message (scrobble) to Last.fm containing this information as it pertains to the user, a process known as scrobbling.

According to Last.fm, which also offers an Internet radio service, “Scrobbles mean we can deliver personalized recommendations for every single Last.fm listener, every single day. We compare what you play to the scrobbles of millions of listeners around the world, meaning your recommendations are the result of more than 43 billion scrobbles and counting.”
