Do You Have A Check-In Addiction?
Do you?
With our smartphones in hand, we are connected. Always connected. Facebook, Twitter, email, instant messaging, SMS, and that’s just the beginning. Always connected. Always checking.
I remember my first smartphone. For the sake of my family (and weekend) I changed the settings so that I wouldn’t be alerted every time an email hit my work email address. It was bad enough that I would manually check my personal email, Facebook and Twitter. Adding an alert for work related emails only added to my check-in addiction.
If I wasn’t reaching for it, it was reaching for me.
HipChat Means Business
Despite the “hip” name, HipChat is a business chat app centered around team collaboration, offering both instant messaging and group chat.
HipChat is a hosted private chat service for your company or team. Invite colleagues to share ideas and files in persistent group chat rooms. Get your team off AIM, Google Talk, and Skype — HipChat was built for business.
HipChat isn’t just another player in the crowded IM game. This isn’t AIM in a suit, either. Admins control who joins the secure network as well as what can be seen. Meanwhile, it’s just as easy to use as any other IM client. It runs on every desktop, in your favorite modern browser, or your smartphone. You can also use their free iPhone/iPad app and SMS to stay connected when you’re on the go (Android app is in dev).

Cardcloud Reinvents Business Cards
This is the new way to pass out business cards. It was only a matter of time, really. Most people in the business world are sporting smartphones, packed full of business contacts and information. So, the migration of the business card from the wallet to the smartphone, and into the handheld instead of the hand, makes a lot of sense.
Cardcloud has made e-business cards useable. They’ve been available via email, Outlook, and the likes, for quite some time, but it had yet to be fully realized into the traditional means of business card swapping: face to face.
Cardcloud makes that possible.
