London, UK (PRWEB) November 16, 2011

Today, the touch panel market is continuing its upward trend, but it is still hard for the small and medium-sized manufacturers to gain profits. Last year, when the industry thrived, a host of enterprises expanded their capacities, leading to the fierce price competition of both resistive touch screen and capacitive touch screen.

The key issue in the touch screen industry becomes the single-plate touch glass solution Touch on Lens or One Glass Solution, whose touch control module is expected to facilitate great cost reductions and better performance in production speed and yield. Though Touch on Lens progresses slowly, promisingly, it will approximate 25% of capacitive touch screen at the end of 2012 and 60% at the end of 2014.

Our first contest was nothing but fun, and we are Comedy Guys Defensive Driving after all: were all about taking a court-ordered driving safety course and making it fun. Our contest was so much fun for us and for our defensive driving customers that we wanted to continue it, said ComedyGuys.com co-owner Cash Cooper.

Omaha, NE (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

The number of internet searches, and especially local searches made from mobile devices like smart phones and tablet computers has risen at an alarming rate. It has been estimated the vast majority of web searches in the year 2013 will be from some sort of mobile device.

This is a nascent market where early adopters will have a decided edge against their web competition because the age of a web site is a determining factor in how the Search Engines rank web sites, stated Cal Hesson, CEO of SEO-Company-Services.com in Omaha, NE.

We deployed our Mobilizing Mobile website to provide a free mobile website resource for business owners to learn about this next huge wave of marketing opportunities, continued Mr. Hesson.

The mobilizingmobile.com web site covers such topics as mobile website optimization, intuitive website navigation, should you use an app or a mobile website, QR Codes and a host of other topics. Additionally, new content will be added to the website on a weekly basis.

New York, NY (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

For New Yorkers and tri-state residents, the holidays arent complete without a visit to Manhattan to see the spectacular window displays, exquisite decorations and holiday finery that make the city so magical at this time of year. Beginning December 1, Stray Boots new Fifth Avenue Holiday Hunt adds a fun and interactive way to explore the sights around Fifth Avenue and Rockefeller Center with a scavenger hunt-style walking tour with your cell phone leading the way.

Stray Boots urban games have been compared to a little Amazing Race, and the Fifth Avenue Holiday Hunt is a unique cell phone guided experience that turns the famous thoroughfare into a real-world game board. From wonderful windows to dazzling decorations, the Fifth Avenue Holiday Hunt takes players to the grandest holiday displays NYC has to offer. Players will journey to the center of the toy earth at FAO Schwarz and the Lego Store. Theyll “kick” the holiday cheer into gear at Radio City Music Hall, then help decorate NYC’s most famous Christmas tree. Theyll see the sparkly side of the season at Cartier and Tiffany’s, and learn the science of window displays at Bergdorf Goodman and Saks 5th Avenue. And they don’t have to worry about becoming red-nosed in the cold thanks to the numerous indoor stops along the way.

The Fifth Avenue Holiday Hunt is easy to play and works by text message or smartphone web browser, so customers can use virtually any US mobile phone. Players are guided with text messages that include riddles, puzzles, photo opps and trivia questions as they are treated to a tour of the top holiday sights. Each challenge earns players points and reveals fun facts about the area. The hunt is self-paced and flexible, so participants can start whenever is convenient and stop for snacks, drinks, or do a bit of shopping along the way. The hunt takes between 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 hours to complete. And at a budget-friendly price of just $ 12 per ticket, its a new kind of holiday fun for less than the cost of a movie.

Ideal for families, couples and visitors looking to catch the highlights of the season, the Fifth Avenue Holiday Hunt adds a new level of holiday fun to traditional excursions to see the legendary New York City lights and window displays.

Cupertino, CA (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Crowdsourcing using the collective knowledge of an audience to aid ones business is much more than just other buzzword. It is a growing trend that has quickly become a central business concept. Driven by the power of the web, businesses can now crowdsource to greatly expand the talent pool available at their disposal. Typically, this enables organizations to complete tasks faster, more efficiently and often simply better.

Kiruba Shankar and Mitchell Levy, co-authors of this cutting-edge book, are both firm believers in collaborative wisdom. In very diverse and singularly successful careers, they have deployed crowdsourcing for greater success. Now they bring you #CROWDSOURCING tweet Book01, in which they share with you smart ideas (crowdsourced, of course!) that teach you to tap into the wisdom of the crowd.

Shankar and Levy share a vision of crowdsourcing worth examining and exploring, says global business celebrity and bestselling author, Jeffrey Hayzlett. #CROWDSOURCING tweet demonstrates the benefits of collecting knowledge in bite-sized formats on key topics in a relatively quick fashion. Well-edited, this content provides a robust, consolidated view of the topic at hand, states Hayzlett. The crowdsourced content within the THiNKaha series may truly become the Cliff Notes of crowdsourcing and marketing for anyone in business.

The bite-sized learning in this slim volume is a tribute to collective wisdom. To begin, consider #CROWDSOURCING tweet Book01s aha #34: Encyclopedia Britannica took 200 years to write 80,000 articles. Wikipedia: 9 years, 10 million+ articles. Personal stories are especially powerful. For example, aha #48: I crowdsourced the creation of my logo and got 95 logo concepts for $ 300. My graphics agency just lost a customer to crowdsourcing. And lest you start thinking of crowdsourcing as a silver bullet, here’s a reality check with aha #52: Crowdsourcing is a democratic process. However, just like in any democracy, it needs leaders to hold the flag and lead.

“We now live in a time of rapid technological advances, where people are over-stimulated with information, and where the knowledge and experience of others can be acquired within a click’s notice, says co-author Mitchell Levy. Crowdsourcing is an extremely effective way to tap into the wisdom of others; bringing together a sense of community (a global one at that) and collecting ideas that have no boundaries of cultures, geographies, and backgrounds is truly an innovative tool of the 21st century.

#CROWDSOURCING tweet Book01 is the book on leveraging the experience of the crowd, brought to you by two experienced authors who are comfortable with walking their talk. Replete with actionable knowledge from start to finish, you will surely find yourself flipping through its pages time and again as you tap into the collective wisdom of your crowd.

Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Comedy Guys Defensive Driving created the Get Mobile! Giveaway to publicize the mobile versatility of its online defensive driving course. Earlier this year, the online driving safety course was reformatted and reprogrammed to work more easily on mobile devices such as Apples iPhone and iPad and Googles Android operating system used on smart phones and tablets.

The contest officially began on May 1 and ended at midnight on October 30.

THREE WAYS TO WIN

The Get Mobile! Giveaway was structured to give contestants three ways to enter and win one of three Apple iPads offered as prizes. Two of these prizes were awarded by random drawing among entrants, and the third prize was decided by popular vote.

Though being a Comedy Guys customer was not required to enter the contest, all three winners of an Apple iPad 2 have taken the Comedy Guys Defensive Driving course, either online or at one of the Comedy Guys live class locations across Texas.

The simplest way to enter the contest was by texting MYIPAD to 69302. Over 500 people entered the contest this way, and a random drawing among those people awarded the Apple iPad 2 to William Noyer of Killeen, who had taken the Comedy Guys Defensive Driving course online.

He had this to say about the Comedy Guys’ online defensive driving course: I used both my computer at home and my iPhone to complete this course. It was easy, and I could stop at any time and come back to it, which made it so much more convenient. I would recommend these guys to any of my friends in need of an insurance break or trying to get a ticket off of their record.

The heart of the contest involved people registering at ComedyGuys.com and submitting their funny caption to the contest photograph. Between May 1 and July 31, 112 people submitted their captions. Beginning August 1, people were asked to register for the contest and vote for their favorite caption as often as once per day until the contest ended on October 30.

The caption that received the most votes was submitted by Shaley Lucas of Coppell. She had taken a live Comedy Guys class in Arlington with defensive driving instructor Becky Jane Romine.

After being informed that shed won, Lucas had the following things to say about the course: I have and will continue to highly recommend using the Comedy Guys for a defensive driving course. The time flew by and it didn’t feel like a classroom at all. Getting a ticket is a real drag, but the Comedy Guys course actually made the process really fun.

By registering and voting for a favorite caption, people were actually entering the third component of the Get Mobile! Giveaway. The email addresses of everyone who registered to vote were entered into a random drawing to win the third Apple iPad 2. This drawing was won by John Lovell of Dallas.

A fourth prize, an Apple TV, was offered as a consolation prize by a random drawing among everyone who submitted a caption to the contest photo. The winner of this part of the contest has yet to respond to email contact from ComedyGuys.com, but attempts to make contact continue.

Because of the fun and success of the contest, ComedyGuys has decided to create the Text Message Giveaway and extend the prizes through December and into 2012. The next prize, an AppleTV, will be awarded on December 15, 2011.

For a chance to win, text MYIPAD to 69302 before midnight CST on Wednesday, December 14, 2011.

Everyone who sends the text message MYIPAD to 69302 before the deadline will be entered into a random drawing for the AppleTV. Anyone who entered the text message component of the Get Mobile! Giveaway is already entered into this giveaway as well, unless theyve previously chosen to remove their numbers from eligibility.
