Facebook & Google+ Alternative Emerges: OnlyMeWorld

Honolulu, Hawaii (PRWEB) September 25, 2011

There is a growing concern over the handling of users information, security, privacy, data mining, web tracking, and facial recognition software used by Facebook and other social networking sites. Most critics and so-called private alternative social networking sites today complain that Facebook and others collect users information and sell it to advertisers, making billions of dollars. Although these things should be reason enough for concern, the sale of peoples information to advertisers and companies is not new and has been going on long before Facebook arrived. Nothing Is For Nothing.

The real issues people should be concerned about are: how much information Facebook and other social networking sites are collecting about them Knowingly versus. Unknowingly, how this information is being used by Cyber Criminals versus. Law Enforcement, and how all this information someday will be or could be used in a Positive versus. Negative way.

Regardless of what sites today promise regarding security, any site can be hacked. (Some examples would be: governments, banks, and law enforcement agencies who all have "so called" state of art security systems) Social networking sites such as Google+ and Facebook are open-door gold mines for cyber criminals. The obvious solution to address these problems involving privacy, anonymity and cyber crime is simple; no real names, no emails.

Should you be worried about all the information Facebook and other social networking sites are collecting? If used in a positive way, perhaps it could occasionally help law enforcement agencies throughout the world combat crime, or help end poverty and disease, or even promote socioeconomic equality. If used in a negative way, there will only be the haves and have-nots, the rich and the poor, all automatically profiled according to individual demographics.

"Some people complain that they wont be able to find friends, family and associates. I always apologize and explain, if you want to find a classmate there's classmates.com, if you want to find friends and family there are sites that'll help you find them, but if you want to social network again with some privacy, anonymity, confidently and effectively, there's onlymeworld.com." said Carlson Yamamoto, President of OnlyMeWorld.com.

L4 Systems Connected TV Application to Blend Speech, Social Networking & Internet Radio on Yahoo! & Google Platforms

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) June 8, 2010

L4 Systems, a leading provider of high quality mobile and speech recognition applications, announced today their plans to release L4 Connected TV this fall. The initial focus will be support for visual and voice navigation of features on both the connected TV and the consumers Smartphone that includes real-time social networking, local search, and personal radio.

Market research on the consumers digital lifestyle indicates the market for web-connected TVs will reach global shipments nearing 300 million units by 2014, said Tom Freeman, L4 Systems CEO & President. Delivering an integrated user experience on both the TV and the Smartphone that leverages speech recognition with features that enhance the consumers digital lifestyle represents a revenue opportunity to leverage spontaneous downloads of multimedia content, location based advertising, and subscriptions for premium features.

L4 Systems plans to simultaneously release L4 Connected TV and L4 Connected TV for Mobile to TV and Smartphone application stores this fall. Using a WiFi connected TV and the consumers 3G/4G or WiFi connected Smartphone, the centerpiece of L4 Connected TV will be voice navigation of features along with an open web service hosted in the cloud that aggregates and manages connections to the consumers social network, local search provider, and music.

Launch features and platforms will support:

Web Services: Facebook, Twitter, Google Buzz, Blogger, Bing, and Apple iTunes or Amazon Music Store.
In Living Room: Yahoo Connected TV on Samsung, Sony, Vizio & LG, Google TV, and TiVo.
On the Go: iPhone, Blackberry, and Android.

Consumers who have used the demo gave the L4 Connected TV app strong accolades. In the words of one user: Posting comments to Twitter and interacting with online friends using a voice remote on my Droid phone while watching Glee on my couch is super cool! I could download a song featured on the show and use it to personalize a new channel on Internet radio.

L4 Connected TV will support emerging technology platforms to integrate TV with the web for real-time, interactive visual and voice experiences that connect the consumer to their friends, their music, and their world whether at home or on the go, said Stephen Fishburn, CTO of L4 Systems. We believe convergence of the web with the living room with the Smartphone in a portal-like app that uses voice navigation and open web services is the next thing!

L4 Connected TV launch features will include support on the TV and the Smartphone for social networking, local search, and music. Enhancements coming before Christmas 2010 will include support for video downloads, mapping, traffic, weather, and e-mail & text messaging.

ShowClix Introduces Axess, a Google Android Application that Transforms Android-Powered Devices, Including Nexus One, into Barcode Ticket Scanners

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) January 27, 2010

ShowClix - a full-service ticketing company that provides web-based solutions to event organizers, promoters and venue managers - today introduced ShowClix Axess, an application created for the Google Android operating system that transforms Android-powered devices, including Google Nexus One, Motorola Droid and HTC myTouch, into barcode ticket scanners. While Axess runs on most Android-powered devices with an autofocus camera, ShowClix is providing its ticketing clients with Axess-ready, Nexus One devices exclusively.

Axess is the product of years of frustration with the existing barcode scanning options that have been available to our clients. The introduction of Axess and our new ticket scanners carries the innovation of our web-based platform to the door of the venue, says ShowClix CEO Joshua Dziabiak. Our new ticket scanners arent just easy-to-use and affordable, theyre also packed with features that give our clients more flexibility and control over the way they admit ticket buyers into their events. Venues and event promoters finally have a better option when it comes to barcode scanning.

Android-powered devices provisioned with ShowClix Axess can verify tickets online in real-time by connecting to any wi-fi or cellular network. If a wi-fi or cellular network is not available, or the device loses connection to a network, users can continue to scan and verify tickets offline. Multiple ticket scanners running Axess can be used at several check-in points at a venue without having to be networked. In less than two seconds per scan, the devices can read both 1D and 2D barcodes appearing on thermal tickets, print-at-home e-tickets or mobile tickets. In addition to quickly scanning tickets for entry into an event, Axess scanners also provide users with a checkout mode that allows them to scan tickets in and out of an event for re-entry. Axess devices also include search functionality that lets users obtain detailed customer information directly from the ticket scanner. Customer information can be retrieved through the applications voice recognition search feature or by manually inputting details such as the customer name, confirmation ID or barcode number.

Joker Productions (http://www.jokerprod.com), a Pittsburgh-based production company that has been booking and promoting concerts since 1989, was one of the first companies to use the new Axess-powered, Nexus One ticket scanner. The scanner has worked very well, says Joker Productions Founder Jon Rinaldo. Weve even had a number of customers comment on how cool and cutting edge the scanner is. Im happy to be partnered with a company like ShowClix. Not only are they helping my company stay ahead of the curve, but theyre developing tools that help out the ticketing and concert industries as a whole.

In conjunction with the launch of Axess, ShowClix is giving away two free Axess-powered, Nexus One ticket scanners to the first five qualified venues or event promoters that enter into an exclusive ticketing agreement with ShowClix.
