The Super Amazing Hovding Invisible Airbag Helmet

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 01 Oct 2015 14:59:00 +0000

Sweden is one of the countries where bicycles are more important to have than a TV set. Sweden has a greatly developed network of cycle paths within its towns and cities, and also dedicated cycle routes around the country as well. The idea of the invisible helmet namely Hovding was conceived by two students Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin as a Master's thesis while they were studying Industrial Design at the University of Lund.

In 2005 there came a law that it was mandatory for children upto the age 15 to wear Helmets, so it was thought of to be a good Master's thesis to see if there could be an invisible type helmet which adult people can wear with comfort as well, as many adults are hesitant to wear helmets due to many different reasons.

The Hovding which was initially a concept for an invisible helmet, processed itself into an Airbag helmet for bicycle users. The Hovding is a completely tried and tested product, of which you can see in some of the videos we have put up here on this page.

The below picture will give you an idea of how the Hovding is worn.

Let us first look into a little what is actually the Hovding Airbag Helmet and how it works. See the video below:

Upon an accident, an airbag pops out of the Hovding, shaping up like a jacket hood. The material that is used is an ultra-solid nylon fabric, which gives it the edge of not getting scratches or getting teared up on touching ground.

The Hovding covers a large area of head as compared to the conventional cycle helmets available. The best part of wearing the Hovding is that it can camouflage itself with your clothing style and no one will notice even that you are wearing it.

When the cyclist is about to crash down the Hovding gets the signal to let the airbag pop out. As you may have seen in the above video, the time taken by the Airbag to pop is almost of an eye blink.
There is an interesting video of the Hovding, namely Will it Pop, check it out below.

Another interesting video of the Hovding, will the Hovding pop out while using it doing Judo Karate ? Find out, watch the video below.

You can change the outer shell of the Hovding according to the style of your clothing. Which makes it very dynamic and friendly to use.

Not only the Hovding has application only for cyclist, but it can be used on many other purposes as well, for example it can be worn during hiking or horse riding ! The use of the Hovding is not specific to cycling only, in our humble view. If you want to buy this amazingly cool product, visit the shop page.

5 Money-Saving Niche Sites That Save You Time, Too

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 16 May 2012 14:53:00 +0000

With this difficult economy the whole world is trying to contend with, it’s no wonder penny-pinching has become a way of life. Online resources suggesting ways on how to save money on this and that have become valuable tools for a lot of entities – individuals and businesses alike.

And then came the emergence of collective buying websites like Groupon, LivingSocial and a whole host of others. For a lot of people who aim to get the most bang for their buck, deal of the day is here to stay. But did you know there are smaller niche websites that can help you save money, too? Here are 5 of those sites:

1. Bitrix24.com:

For a business to survive a competitive marketplace, communication among its employees is of paramount importance. Problem is, corporate intranets usually cost thousands of dollars, and most small businesses may not have enough operating budget to afford them.

Bitrix24 provides a solution to that problem. If your business has 12 employees or less, Bitrix24 offers a basic package that is absolutely free. Yes, you heard that right. The basic package is absolutely free. And the package comes with a fully functional CRM, activity streaming where every team member gets updates as events unfold, calendar, activity planner, sales funnel and a whole host of other features. If your company is comprised of more than 12 employees, the service costs just about $99 per month.

2. Logaster.com:

Online or not, if it’s a business you’re running, you need a logo. Unfortunately, professional logo designers command a high price – hundreds of dollars at the very least. And even with crowdsourcing sites, getting the logo you desire may render you at least $100 poorer.

Logaster.com lets you create your logo free of charge, and with a $4.99 subscription per month, you get other valuable features like business cards, letterheads and envelopes.

3. PickyDomains.com:

Some people think it odd to pay somebody to come up with a name for his company or a domain for his website. Then again, branding can make or break your business. What’s worse, with millions and millions of top-level domains registered already, coming up with a domain that hasn’t been registered yet may be harder than you think it is.

PickyDomains.com is a site of over 55,000 namer contributors. All a client needs to do is register, pay the required $50 downpayment for a domain, brand or name (or $75 for a slogan), specify his parameters, then wait for suggestions to start pouring in. If none of the suggestions are to his liking, he may ask for a refund.

4. JetRadar.com:

Expedia, CheapFlights and Orbitz are just three of several niche sites that have changed the way the securing-cheap-air-fare game is played forever. If you’re a businessman constantly on the go or somebody who simply likes to travel, with JetRadar.com, you can search for tickets that are even cheaper.

Cheaper than cheap? How’s that for a cool deal? JetRadar.com is a meta search engine that searches through every travel agency, major flight site and through registers of 728 individual airlines.

If you’re a business owner, you want to know what your competitor is up to. With iSpionage, you get to manage client campaigns, save valuable time monitoring affiliates and paid search competition, manage through search engine gaps, view the ads your competitor is running and a whole lot more.

Role of Google Plus in SEO

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 18:12:00 +0000

Businesses and organisations who are spending significant resources on building and managing their websites require a lot of online traffic to make this investment worthwhile. They often employ a variety of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics in order to get their website a top ranking in the Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).

Traditionally, websites relied on link-building to obtain better search engine optimisation rankings. These rankings are now, however, being influenced by the increasing socialisation of the internet. With the advent of social media, the page rank is being modified significantly by activities on social websites.

In fact, founder of SEOmoz, Rand Fishkin recently performed an experiment to show that page ranking was demonstrably affected by the shares and retweets on Facebook and Twitter. The more the shares and retweets, the higher the page stood in search rankings. Giving the control of page rankings over to internet users seems quite logical – after all, they are whom the content belongs to.

One of the most recent and significant social media platforms affecting SEO ranking is Google Plus. Google Plus marketing is the official social media platform offered by Google for sharing on web. It offers many features that aid in sharing interests and content with other Google Plus users, including Google+ Sparks, hangouts, circles, and the +1 button.

From an SEO standpoint, the +1 button is the most significant. It is similar in functionality to the Facebook 'like' button, but it does not directly share the content on user profiles. Rather, it is a public 'stamp for approval' (as advocated by Google) by the user for that content.

There are signs that suggest that the +1 button results directly in improved SEO and a higher page ranking. However, simply obtaining more +1s for your page does not mean that your site ranking automatically improves. Rather, if a user's circle connections search for a relevant term to the site that was +1ed by him / her, they will be more likely to obtain higher ranking of that web site and will be more likely to click link to that web page (i.e. a higher Click Through Rate (CTR)). This is what Google has called Search Plus Your World.

Even users who are not signed into Google Plus receive better page rankings for the +1ed pages. This "open" search engine optimisation is an indirect effect of the +1 button. Because a more +1ed page will receive a higher CTR in Search Plus Your World, making it more likely to be shared on Facebook, Twitter and other social web sites, this will in turn increase page ranking.

TrueKnowledge Launches Evi Questioning Answering Application

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 12:05:00 +0000

iPhone recently launched their voice driven personal assistant in their latest version the iPhone 4S. iPhone 4 the predecessor doesn't have this feature, but with some tricks and tweaks you can install it. Siri got a real good response and became very popular among the smartphone community. Now, a new software has been launched not by Apple but by the famous website TrueKnowledge, the software is called Evi and has stepped up the Siri competitor. There is a lot more to tell about this new software and how it works, so keep hooked on to this post. Evi is available both for iOS and Android, so need to wait for it to get to your device. Evi was launched back a couple of days back but the servers hosting it have been overloaded due to its immense popularity gain. Let's check out some of the features and details of Evi, read on below.

TrueKnowledge, if you have not visited this website before you should do it then. It's a really well designed website which answers your search queries with proper details and accuracy. Above is a screen shot of the the question we asked "Where is Turkey?"

TrueKnowledge which is the backend of Evi software doesn't works like a normal search engine like Google.com, it works on its own algorithm and this is what makes it unique. There semantic technology understands the user's questions and answer it rather then giving various results. To understand how the search engine works, see the descriptive video.

Evi is the front end of TrueKnowledge, so it's important for you to understand that how the back end of it works. It is currently available both for iOS and Android, which is definitely a good step to initiate into the smartphone market. On iTunes it is available at a price of $0.99 and for Android it is absolutely free.

Evi on Android Screenshots:

Evi on iPhone Screenshots:

Evi supports a very nice look and the design is somewhat eye catchy as well. You may see the official 'Meet Evi' and introduction to Evi video below, which is uploaded officially.

Evi may not be supporting the funny answers as Siri does, like will you marry me Siri? etc. but this may be the sign that Evi is for serious users or for those who like it to the point. Evi servers are getting overloaded and they need not to be, the users should be provided with a full service and it should not be interrupted. Anyhow, the response Evi is getting is pretty much good but it should be made better.

Here are the links if you want to download it for Android or for the iPhone.

Google Plus Age Restriction and New Policies

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 09:30:00 +0000

Google is back with a buzz, with the news that their social networking website Google+ has lowered its age restriction from 18 to 13. It has also changed 60 privacy policies which will be in action after a month. A little about Google plus before we rip the news apart and talk about it like an insane critic, we need to look a little deeper into the website and its statistics. Google Plus or G+ was launched on June 28, 2011 as a fierce competitor of Facebook the world's largest social networking website with millions of active users on it. Ever since the launch of Google Plus it has always been compared to Facebook and every move they make will be counter checked with Facebook in mind. It's definitely not an easy road which Google has taken but since they have, they need to face the music for sure. Google Plus has done a fairly well job actually and so far has grasped over 90Million users, which is pretty much excellent.

Below is the video which was posted originally by Google, as an introduction to Google Plus.

Google Plus started off with a promising start to take over the social networking websites and be on top of the list with that respect. It groped 10Million users within the two weeks of it being launched. Now for me this is amazing and a job well done by Google. They always find a way to go along things and jump across the hurdles which they face.

What Google plus did from the start is by giving something new to the user, so that they may feel the excitement and a new energy one needs to feel about something new.

Circles is a really cool feature from Google Plus which enables the user to make friends groups with and ease. A little drag drop here and there and you are done. Circles work both ways actually, in Google Plus you can add anyone you like and they will show up on your circle and if they add you up as well, their circle will have you in it. Circles are helpful, because one can easily select the circles to which a desired post needs to be shared.

Hangouts, as the name suggests is super amazing. It's like a live webcam show, where you can invite all your friends to chit chat. Hangouts, is a must to use feature. For many it could get addictive, because the feeling of you talking about a certain topic or just a random chit chat with the people you want is amazing. I like this feature personally, as it gives a real time life like social experience.

Sparks is probably one of the very best feature that Google Plus has, its simply superb to say it right. Do you like to get the news and updates about the things you like ! then Sparks is meant for you. It's like Twitter, getting you stories from you the stuff you have liked. Lately the spark feature has been updated, the video below can be helpful to you if you can't find Sparks in Google Plus.

You can choose from various categories like technology, fashion, food, sports and much more. Below you can see a video about Sparks which has originally been uploaded by Google.

Now, let's come to the most definite feature the Google Plus Chat. You can chat with your buddies and also select which circles you want to chat with, which is very necessary as there are some people in your list with whom you don't like to chat.

There are also Games in Google Plus to play, the most joyful part of any social networking website.

Here you would find varieties of games and yes there are strategic games in which you need your friends to send you stuff in order to finish a certain task (Darn! I hate such games, no offense). There are plenty of games to choose from and here you will also see some of the big game names which are also in Facebook such as Zynga.

You can find on Youtube the individuals videos for each feature that has been given in Google Plus. Talking about the videos, one thing needs to be appreciated here is the excellent easy to understand intro to Google Plus videos Google launched. Every video which they launched for Google Plus has been kept very upbeat yet simple, giving the message in a short time span and making the viewer understand what it is all about is certainly a plus point.

Google Plus now has "Create a Page" feature as well. This enables the user to create a page for its company or of any other interest. Facebook pages are very popular among masses and big companies have a very strong fan following on those pages. Would Google Plus come as the number one choice for brand image or not is still a question, only time would see that how people respond to this feature and if they are happy to check them out as much as they do in Facebook.

Now, since we have looked into Google Plus and the features it provides, let's go in a little deeper to see Google Plus's future and exceptions from a common user's perspective. Over the time span, Google Plus has achieved many milestones which may include the following:

Reaching millions of active users.
Competing with Facebook at a good level.
Giving new and exciting features.
Easy sharing capabilities than Facebook.
Web integration provided at a very early stage when it was launched, which was indeed a superb move to give Google Plus a kick start.
Developing its own standards and not being termed as a copycat of Facebook.
Fast browsing speeds and calm feel all over Google Plus.
Providing the user almost everything it needs in a very short time. Possibly whatever you thought should be on Google Plus was there when it started.
Not giving out loud shouts to the competitors, ethical competitor-ship shown by Google which was important.

These are just the few achievement and plus points about the social networking website. The question here is that, is there anything which Google is doing wrong or not?. Seems like they are not doing anything wrong enough to put fingers on, Google Plus is growing slowly and the time could possibly comes up when it becomes the top social networking website. Having said that, in my opinion this would happen when people get bored or unsatisfied with Facebook and then opt to something bit same bit different and there they would see Google Plus as their saviour. With the strength that Google Plus possess with its current 90Million user base, it is only going one way up right now and its upwards.

Now, as it is mentioned on the very beginning of this article that Google Plus has lowered its registration age limit to 13+ and 14+ in some countries rather than 18+ as it was before, let's check out the after effect of this update. The age limit of Google Plus now at 13+ means two things, one is that younger kids are going to be excited because some parents don't let their young ones use Facebook because of their age, now such kids would be glad to be on their G+ with a smirk on their faces and secondly the effect of this could be huge as it would carry a lot of web news and attention to Google Plus. Good Job done by Google, seems like they always want to be in the news. Google has consulted teen safety and child safety experts before getting the age restriction down.

Having said enough, one point should be kept in mind that Google is going to default some of the options in the younger age level to keep it safe for browsing but they can be changed. This means parents need to look after their young ones and what they are giving a plus on Google Plus !.

Google has changed 60 privacy policies to their alternative shorter and simpler ones. Original message from Google says:

March 1, 2012 is when the new Privacy Policy and Terms will come into effect. If you choose to keep using Google once the change occurs, you will be doing so under the new Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

So, it would take one month for it as in whole to change. The general response for these new policies would be seen in a few days time as the news grows.

PEEL P50 World’s Smallest Car Back in Production

noreply@blogger.com (Admin) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:37:00 +0000

The world of technology always astonishes us and lives up to our expectations. As the world is moving forward, we see latest technologies and advancements being made by companies today but there are few people out there who will always take something from the past and bring it up again with a whole new twist and presentation. Do you remember those small little tiny cars, not with the ones you used to play but those which were seen on the roads. These one seated cars are definitely not every man's dream nor someone would want to go out on a party in such cars, but one has to admit that these cars have a certain charm to them and it can't be denied. Below we got some more details on the news and also a video in which you can see one of these cute cars driven.

Some businessmen from UK have decided to get the mini cars which are the world's most smallest cars back into action. The resurrected company PEEL will be producing these small cars once again and you would have a chance to finally show off in-front of your friends !

The P50 and the Trident both three wheelers will support 3.55 horsepower 49 cc two stroke gasoline engine. These small vehicles would also be available with brush-less electric motors, maximising to a speed of 15mph.

What could be the use of such cars? comes the question. The P5O is a cool mini car and is in the Guinness Book of World Records for the the smallest car in the world. Check out Jeremy from the famous TV show Top Gear driving a P50 car.

It's a nice environmental friendly car and would cost $10,772 and upwards.
