Super Yacht Video Platform Confirms iTunes App Release as Move to Adhere to Firm?s Lifestyle Commitment
Super Yacht Video Platform Confirms iTunes App Release as Move to Adhere to Firm’s Lifestyle Commitment
Berlicum, The Netherlands (PRWEB) October 28, 2011
Roy and Maik van Zoggel, founders of the locally based international super mega yacht media portal YachtsXL, have jointly confirmed that their recent work with software developer Aspider Web to come up with an iOS and Android-compatible YachtsXL application was, indeed, to make sure that their platform delivers on its promise to provide high-end clients “the sense of luxury and freedom associated with owning a superyacht.”
“YachtsXL is the first of its kind to offer real value to target clients, in ways that they can fully relate to,” says Maik. The platform hosts high-definition video portals that yachting enthusiasts, partner businesses and industry suppliers from all over the world can use to give their products, services and other offerings world-wide online exposure.
The YachtsXL platform is open for yacht brokers, yacht rental and luxury yacht charter services, hosting videos for most of the processes involved in buying and selling yachts, as well as showcasing all the latest news, developments and important events in this particular field.
The video platform hosts professionally produced videos and segments meant to bring together the key players in the high-end yachting business, providing high-definition video outputs through both web-enabled and stand-alone software options. The software allows users to easily view yachtsXL videos, as well as get updates from the video platform, which will play on any mobile device and through any internet service carrier.
“This gives our clients the option to access them from practically any mobile gadget – from handheld iPhones and iPad tablets, to notebook computers and PCs – and, if they so choose, even on home theatres and HDTVs,” Roy points out.
“The new mobile application initiative, which was made for us by software developer Aspider Web and released on iTunes early last month, serves as yet another successful move for (our firm) to underscore our commitment to giving our luxury sailing yacht clients only the best, which is what they deserve,” he explains, adding that “most of the people who move in these circles are used to simple luxuries like gaining access to what they need when they need it, and we obviously don’t want to fall short in that area.”

Kidzvuz?, the First Video Review Site for Tweens, Launches
Kidzvuz™, the First Video Review Site for Tweens, Launches
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 04, 2011
Starting today, kids have their own dedicated website for sharing their views about what they love – from books to movies to games and more: KidzVuz™. KidzVuz is the first online community designed specifically for tweens, ages 7 to 12, to create their own video review content in a safe, parent-friendly environment. Just like grown-ups, kids love to share their opinions. With KidzVuz, they now have a community built just for them where they can safely have their say.
On KidzVuz, kids create and upload the videos and engage in the conversation. But unlike other video-sharing sites, KidzVuz is designed specifically for the under-13 set. The site engages kids, encourages creative thinking and even provides the tools to learn about video creation. Plus, it is fully monitored by a panel of parents and COPPA compliant. Age-inappropriate videos and comments or personal information are never allowed or posted.
Key features of the site include:
An integrated webcam – so kids can record their videos without leaving their computer.
A film school that teaches kids how to make great videos
Badges: With each review or comment, kids earn badges and points, complete missions, and follow the leader boards, all powered by Badgeville
Social media features that allow kids to create communities based on shared interests.
Fan Clubs…and more
KidzVuz™ is the brainchild of two prominent Mom Bloggers, Rebecca Levey and Nancy Friedman. They met in the virtual space, and turned the online friendship into a real life partnership and business. As mothers of tech-savvy tweens who like to share their opinions, they recognized there was no safe online community for them to do so.
“Adults love to check out review sites before they buy. We figured that tweens would want to do the same” explains Levey. “So we created KidzVuz as the first safe, dedicated place for them to do just that.”
Safety for this age group was a big factor – but so was fun. “We understand the dangers of the Internet for kids this age, but we’re tired of all the focus on the negative.” says Friedman. “KidzVuz celebrates kids in the digital world. It’s a safe space for them to start creating their digital footprint — expressing their views, forming virtual communities, creating their own content, and having their say.”
Adds Levey, “There are 20 million tweens in the US, with $ 43 billion to spend – and we want KidzVuz.com to be the place they go to find out how to spend it – not from editors or professional reviewers – but from kids like them.”
More About Rebecca Levey: Rebecca began her career in advertising where she worked on campaigns for entertainment companies including ABC TV Daytime and Primetime, as well as brands such as Nabisco and The Discovery Channel Store.
She is the Social Media Editor of Mom Blog Magazine, and is the founder and co-host of The Blogging Angels Podcast, a weekly show about women in social media and the blogosphere. A member of the Yahoo! Mother Board, her blog posts have been nationally syndicated through McClatchy/Tribune and in The Washington Post. Her personal blog is Beccarama.com.
A respected public education advocate, Rebecca was the 2011 New York State delegate to the Mom Congress in Washington DC and a White House Champion of Change for Education.
More about Nancy Friedman: Nancy spent nearly two decades as a freelance television writer and producer, creating marketing, promotional and branding material for clients such as Nickelodeon, HBO, Lifetime Television, WCBS, and The Disney Channel.
A veteran blogger, her posts have appeared online in The Miami Herald, The Philadelphia Inquirer, The Sacramento Bee and more. With Rebecca, she is one of The Blogging Angels, co-hosting a popular weekly podcast for women about harnessing the power of social-media.
Nancy was a founding member of the online Pregnancy Community of the personal genome testing company, 23andMe. She is the NY travel expert on TravelingMom.com, and has been published in numerous magazines and anthologies. Nancy is the founder and creator of the humor blog, FromHiptoHousewife.com.
More About KidzVuz: http://www.KidzVuz.com, wholly owned by KidzVuz LLC, is a video sharing site for kids age 7-12 . On KidzVuz, tweens watch and leave video reviews of books, movies, TV shows, toys, tech and more. In a safe, COPPA compliant space, create community, content, and connections with other kids who share their passions.
KidzVuz’ Mission is to:
Promote a community where tweens connect, comment and create.
Provide a safe, parentally approved, moderated space where kids can have their say.
Encourage critical thinking.
Give brands the opportunity to create authentic connections with Tweens.
Create the most valuable kid-to-kid experience on the Internet.
In fulfilling our mission, KidzVuz will become the premier destination for brands looking to reach and understand a highly targeted tween market, and the go-to site for the 20 million US tweens who want to know where and how to exercise their $ 43 billion of spending power.

Top 3D Gaming Laptops Video Released By 3D-GamingLaptops.com
Top 3D Gaming Laptops Video Released By 3D-GamingLaptops.com
(PRWEB) November 01, 2011
A new video entitled “Top 3D Gaming Laptops Worth Considering” has just been released by 3D-GamingLaptops.com, a helpful online buyer’s guide to 3d gaming notebooks. This new video examines some of the latest 3D gaming machines to hit the market in recent months and is well worth viewing if you’re planning on buying a gaming rig.
The criteria for choosing these specific gaming laptops was based on customer feedback, online reviews and the features/specs available for the price one has to pay. In other words, whether or not the buyer is getting great value for their money.
“Many of the big manufacturers are now adding the 3D option to many of their popular gaming laptops, but everyone has to remember that these powerful high performance machines can still operate in 2D or as a normal gaming laptop,” says Titus Hoskins, a former teacher who now operates 3D-GamingLaptops.com. “So even if 3D is not your cup of tea, don’t dismiss these rigs just because they have the 3D option.”
Some of the models included in the new video are: Alienware M17x R3, Toshiba Qosmio X775-3DV78, Asus G73SW-3DE and the HP Envy 17 3D. Many of these brands are well known in the gaming world and these rigs offer the consumer a well-balanced selection that should cover everyone’s requirements and price range. Although for a fully maxed out system, gamers will still have to pay a hefty price for all those extra features or upgrades.
While 3D hasn’t exactly conquered the home entertainment market, it is now being offered as an option on many TVs, Blu-ray DVD Players and Gaming Devices. We have even seen the introduction of some glasses-free products and laptops. In addition, Nvidia has confirmed its commitment to 3D, by releasing an upgrade to its popular 3D Vision Kit, which can be found in many PCs and laptops. This new 3D kit offers bigger and brighter images and is backwards compatible.
This new video on the top 3D gaming laptops will give potential buyers a quick overview of the different notebooks – along with the features, specs and tentative prices. It was created to give these buyers a good solid starting point in their search for the perfect 3D gaming laptop.
The video can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/user/laptopguide
About Us – 3D-GamingLaptops.com is a handy online 3D Laptop Guide which is run in partnership with http://www.bizwaremagic.com, a popular site which covers all aspects of running a business, from marketing tools to corporate gifts to computer notebooks. This video was created by Curtis Hoskins, who runs http://www.bluray-dvd-players.com, a comprehensive site on Blu-ray players and devices.

Video Email Gives the E-Card Much Needed Sincerity
(PRWEB) June 15, 2006
The tens of millions of people throughout the world who send electronic greetings each year need no longer be accused of being cheap, unromantic and tacky, thanks to a fun free service called Springdoo that allows any internet user to very easily record and send a sincere message by video email.
Anyone can visit the Springdoo website (www.springdoo.com) and record a video email using a web camera, or an audio email using a standard computer microphone. Just like the basic services provided by Skype and Hotmail, Springdoo video email is simple to use and provided for free.
Each holiday season, or on occasions such as Valentine’s Day, Halloween, and birthdays, up to 500,000 people per hour make a last-minute dash to the internet to find an e-card to rescue them from being branded ‘forgetful.’ But the e-card is showing signs of consumer fatigue, with insulted recipients declaring that those who send e-cards lack affection and sincerity, or are ‘just too cheap to buy a card.’
Springdoo CEO Jason Kerr says that, “what it comes down to is the fact that people still desire good old fashioned thoughtful human contact, and like a handwritten letter, video delivers the ‘personal effort’ element that a flashy animated cartoon can never do.”
Springdoo is designed to provide a more personal and human way for people to communicate over the internet. Industry commentators all say that video is the ‘next big thing’ for internet users, and is a technology that has numerous applications for delivering messages with emotion – from special occasions through to selling products and services.
Owning a web camera is no longer seen to be a barrier, with inexpensive and easy to use units readily available for purchase online (even via the Springdoo website), for about the same price as a mouse.
By sending a Springdoo video email, Kerr says you will be forgiven for being cheap and admired for being so clever.
About Springdoo™
Springdoo is a free online service that offers a quick and easy way to record and send video and audio email from any computer in the world. Springdoo is about connecting in a human and personal way again. It’s email with emotion! www.springdoo.com

My 1 year old daughter Melodie knows her games. She’s like a little sponge, soaking up everything (we have to really start watching our language, and stop watching Family Guy with her in the room!). This was just a test to see how long it would take for her to memorize these things. It only took a few days, going through them about 4 times a day. Each time she surprised us by remembering one from the time before. Here’s the list:
1) Solid Snake (from Metal Gear Solid)
2) 1up (mushroom from Super Mario Bros.)
3) Alucard (Castlevania: Symphony of the Night)
4) Goomba (Super Mario Bros.), not Transformers.
5) Sonic (the Hedgehog)
6) Yoshi (Super Mario Bros.)
7) Megaman
Pikachu (Pokemon)
9) Kratos (God of War)
10) Link (Legend of Zelda)
11) Cloud (Final Fantasy 7, Kingdom Hearts)
12) Chimera (Resistance: Fall of Man)
13) Samus (Metroid)
14) Kirby
15) Donkey Kong (sounds like “monkey con”)
16) Big Daddy (Bioshock)
17) Master Chief (Halo)
18) Triforce (Legend of Zelda)
19) Dante (Devil May Cry)
20) Sackboy (Littlebigplanet)
