(PRWEB) November 5, 2007 -- Imagine using your cell phone to search the web by pressing only a few letters. Boopsie Version 2, a free mobile web search engine, enables users to do precisely that."We created a fast, simple method to not just search, but actually FIND things from your mobile phone," says Greg Carpenter, Boopsie CEO. "Our 'Smart Prefix™' system was really inspired by the way that people text message each other using short codes - basically, minimizing the number of key-presses for every search."Boopsie identified the top requested search categories (flight times, Wikipedia queries, sports scores, weather reports, local business and restaurant addresses, etc.), and organized them into over 150 channels or "verticals" that are growing daily. When users search within these category channels, they discover how advanced Boopsie is from every other mobile web search engine.Organizing mobile web search around channels is only one differentiator between Boopsie and the one-size-fits-all mobile web versions of Google or Microsoft Live. "Boopsie finds faster and displays the precise information you seek -- not a laundry list of web sites that may or (more likely) may not be formatted for mobile phones," adds Carpenter. iCrossing reports that 75% of mobile searchers are not willing to go beyond the second page of search results on mobile. "With Boopsie, there is no 'page 2' - as each character is typed, results are updated virtually instantaneously; type an extra character or two and the result will pop right up to the top. Using our Smart Prefix™ system, we can reach over 90% of 8.5 million Wikipedia records in 7 keystrokes or less."Instead of typing entire keywords, this Smart Prefix™ system needs only two or three letters of each word to find what users are looking for. Using Boopsie, just type "we" and the Wunderground Weather Channel appears. From there, type "pa fr" and the weather for Paris, France appears formatted on the fly, ad free for your cell phone display. Searching for your neighborhood Starbucks has never been easier--just type in "star" and the Starbucks store locator appears.Brands also love Boopsie for its open channel, agnostic delivery of single-focused results. Content providers love the way Boopsie's Shrinkt™ API offers them mobile ready versions of their web sites. Not only does Boopsie reformat publisher's content on the fly, but it can easily add time-saving and revenue generating shortcuts like Boopsie's Click to Call, Show Map, and Click to Buy features. Typical content providers are up with a channel on Boopsie in around an hour - without requiring a mobile web team."Mobile search is the next major media market," observes Carpenter. "Consumers will increasingly demand more mobile friendly websites and the best way to efficiently search and shop using their phones. Boopsie is the connection that organizes the mobile web like a kind of short code search and by doing that, is creating a launch point for an entire set of web type standards right now."About BoopsieBased in Laguna Beach, California, the Boopsie Mobile Find Platform was built from the ground up to leverage the latest capabilities of mobile phones. The company's patent pending technology overcomes the limitations of small cell phone displays and keyboards by using a "Smart Prefix™" text entry system to quickly find exactly what users are seeking. For content publishers, Boopsie provides a brand-friendly environment that creates mobile ready versions of their web offerings in real time. The Boopsie mobile Web FIND engine is available for virtually all cell phone handsets and operating systems including Blackberry, BREW, Palm, Windows Mobile, Java, Symbian and the iPhone.www.boopsie.com Fri, 30 Nov 2007 15:07:25 -0800 http://www.w3exchange.com/view_topic.php?pid=5139#5139 5139@http://www.w3exchange.com Topic: Getting Serious Message: Getting Serious With Casual Play in the Game IndustryYou can find signs of the revolution everywhere. One of the fastest-growing parts of the game industry is centered on so-called casual online games, PC-based titles that users can generally start playing in minutes and usually don't require the mastery of some combination of multiple buttons to enjoy. The upheaval has spread to the console market.You might think that the face of one of the hottest areas in gaming right now is a young male in his 20s who owns the latest supercharged gaming system  from Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)  or Sony (NYSE: SNE)  -- or both.You'd be wrong.Instead, the epitome of the new-era gamer is a woman in her late 30s or early 40s who plays on an average PC.Yes, the video game industry seems to have been turned on its head.

Message: Nanotubes Power Paper-Thin Battery...Collaboration among three separate groups of students at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute has come up with the idea of a paper-thin battery. Made mostly of cellulose -- the main fiber in paper -- embedded with carbon nanotubes and an electrolyte, the devices actually can be used as a battery, a supercapacitor or a combination of the two, depending on how it's assembled.

Message: Burned by Overheating Batteries, Nokia Recalls 46 MillionWhile no one has been injured and there are no reports of property damage, Nokia recalled 46 million batteries because they can overheat while recharging. The battery, model BL-5C, is used in dozens of Nokia phones. However, the recall does not affect every single battery of that model, the company said.Finnish cell phone giant Nokia (NYSE: NOK)  will replace for free 46 million batteries due to an overheating problem, even though incidents of the batteries malfunctioning have been "very rare."The company will replace any Nokia-branded BL-5C battery made by Matsushita Battery Industrial between December 2005 and November 2006. About 100 of these 3.7 volt batteries have malfunctioned so far, causing them to overheat due to a short circuit while being charged, Nokia said. The overheating makes the batteries "dislodge," the company said, stressing that nobody has been injured and no property damage has been reported.The recall does not apply to any other Nokia-branded battery and only to a portion of the BL-5C batteries that were sold. Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries "who have collectively produced more than 300 million" of the units, the company said. It is "working closely" with Matsushita and cooperating with authorities investigating the problem...

Message: Google Raises Storage Ceiling - for a Fee.Gmail users who utilize the Web e-mail service to back up data on their home or work PCs and are approaching its 3 GB limit level may appreciate Google's additional storage offering. However, the extra space comes for a price: Users could buy as little as 6 GB of storage for $20 per year, or up to 250 gigabytes for $500 annually. It will also offer a 25 GB plan for $75 and a 100 GB option costing $250.

"The ability to bring people together, identify people who have key skills and expertise, the ability to provide immediate feedback to people, all are relevant to the corporate environment." Skills Are the Same In the games, players create online characters, join teams to complete tasks and survive in a simple economy. Skills that translate well are collaboration, self-organization, risk-taking, openness, influence and communication, according to the study.Jesse Baker, 23, said he is addicted to "World of Warcraft," where his favorite character is an assassin troll. He has led up to 40 other players in raids on opponents' strongholds."Communications are key in a raid. When you have 40 people, you have to talk to each one and make sure everybody understands what they are supposed to do, because everyone has a key job," he said.Competitors, Not Monsters It's the same way at work -- except there are no monsters to slay.Baker's job as a game tester for Octopi in Tucson, Ariz., requires him to work with game developers and designers, he said."I've actually never thought about it consciously before, but you do learn some things about patience, concentration, teambuilding and working with others," Baker said. "Sometimes you have to take risks and you have to make the right decisions at the right moment." Learning From Mistakes For its study, IBM surveyed 214 of its own employees who are gamers and found that nearly half believe game playing is improving their real-world leadership capabilities. Four out of 10 said they have applied leadership techniques learned in games to workplace situations.Leading a raid in an online city might translate to building a team of coworkers with a variety of skills and motivating them to collaborate to complete a project, Lesser said.In games, characters can make lots of mistakes and be able to play again, he said. In business, the stakes are different. Workers can have a lot of small failures at low costs and discard them. "You learn from those things and place your bets on those things you think will be most effective," Lesser said. The New Metaphor IBM is about as virtual as it can get. The company owns an island in the online game Second Life, a virtual world created by its players. Lesser said 40 percent of employees don't go to an office daily, and even his research group is virtual, with members living across the world.The point, Lesser said, isn't to rush out and buy a game but rather to look for lessons about what virtual leadership looks like and apply that to the workplace."People have always used sports and military metaphors to describe leadership," he said, "but online gaming provides a new window on how companies should think."
