Bing Will Improve Organic Search with Encyclopaedia Function, says Search Catalyst

LONDON, June 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

          As Bing move towards providing facts and figures in their search results,

    contact Search Catalyst to help adapt your SEO strategy and ensure a high ranking.

    Bing users can expect an improvement in their organic search results following the
announcement that Microsoft's search engine will partner with the Encyclopaedia
Brittanica. The update has been developed as a response to Google's Knowledge Graph, which
has been designed to generate relevant statistic, stories, and general information to
improve its search results.

    For small businesses and organisations that require search-based information, the Bing
update will reward websites that provide factual, informative, interesting, and unique
content. Therefore, much like the Panda and Penguin updates from Google, producing
original and informative content is essential to ranking highly on Bing.

    The Bing and Brittanica update is simply the latest in a series of changes made by
competing search engines. Google recently started this arms race by developing "Search
Plus Your World" to better integrate search with social media. Bing swiftly responded to
this change by displaying Facebook and Twitter results as part of their query results.

    So with Bing moving towards providing more facts and figures in its search results, it
can be harder for smaller organisations to rank themselves. With this in mind, it may be
advisable to get a specialist online marketing agency, such as Search Catalyst, to help
improve SEO for small businesses [http://www.searchcatalyst.co.uk/seo-packages ].

    Having a measured approach to SEO can have a major impact on the success of your
company. To begin with, businesses need to understand the source of the traffic to your
website. Are your customers, for instance, coming directly from search engines, or are
they coming from referral websites? Companies also need to track and understand keyword
performance, which means using tools to measure bounce rates and clickthrough rates.

    More small businesses are now looking to integrate search engine optimisation into
their marketing efforts. This strategy has proved very useful in providing companies with
greater exposure, while it can offer a significant return on your investment.

    So whether your small businesses is new to SEO, or you already have a strategy that
will need adopting following the latest updates from Bing and Google, do not hesitate to
contact a professional online marketing agency.

MoMinis Introduces Its Collaboration Program To Simplify The Transition Of Games To Mobile For Developers And Studios

TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MoMinis today introduces its new Collaboration Program, which helps developers transition their games from the Web, PC or other platforms to mobile. The Israeli-based gaming company, which focuses on providing solutions for developers and players in today's fragmented gaming marketplace, is partnering with independent developers and leading studios worldwide to create and distribute their existing gaming concepts on Android at no cost.

"Our goal has always been to make it easy to either create, publish or engage with games on any mobile device," said Eyal Rabinovich, Co-Founder of MoMinis.  "The Collaboration Program epitomizes this and complements our existing solutions for developers by using our ability to create and distribute content quickly.  The result is more developers' games on mobile and more people playing them."

Under its Collaboration Program, MoMinis will create, publish and monetize the mobile version of a developer partner's existing game.  Revenues generated from the mobile game's distribution, by either the developer or MoMinis, will be split between the two companies.

The Program includes three main phases: development; publishing and on-going optimization.  First, MoMinis will employ its development studio and existing expertise to make the necessary adaptations to the original game in order to create a successful Android version.  Next, MoMinis will publish and promote the game to its network of more than 25 million users worldwide.  And last, using its unique in-game analytics system to monitor and track users' behavior, MoMinis will optimize and modify the games to ensure a positive user experience, high engagement and profitability.

MoMinis has already demonstrated success with the Collaboration Program.  Pets Fun House--a PC game initially published by Big Fish Studios--was released in May 2012 on Android and generated more than 250,000 downloads in just one week.  It is currently ranked number 39 in the U.S. in the casual games category and generated an average ranking of 4.3 by users, according to Google Play.

To become MoMinis Collaboration Partner, developers must have a working version of a particular game on PC or a platform that demonstrates the quality of the game; a proven track record of that games' success on the existing platform; and a game design document.  Developers and studios can apply for the Program by visiting http://www.mominis.com/collaboration-program/.  MoMinis will reply to them within a week of the application and, if they are chosen to participate, will help the company develop and distribute its game concept within two to three months.

MoMinis plans to add 20 companies to the Collaboration Program by the end of 2012.  Initial participants include: Arkadium, a top game development studio in New York known for Mahjongg-Dimensions, Sparks and other casual and social games; Awem Studio, a casual game developer in Eastern Europe known for PC and Mac family games such as Cradle of Egypt, Aquitania and more; and Linksolutions, a Hong Kong-based studio known for its social games on Facebook and e-books for iOS such as Pets Fun House and Trpeeze, among others. 

"We are excited to join MoMinis' Collaboration Program which enables us to easily expand our mobile activities," said Mary Poltinnikova, Sr. Business Development of Awem.  "MoMinis assists us in solving the main challenges and simplifies this process. By taking advantage of all of MoMinis' assets, we feel that this collaboration will enhance our success in mobile."

MoMinis already offers development and distribution tools for independent developers including The MoMinis Studio.  Using the Studio, developers can easily complete the full lifecycle of mobile game creation - from the initial creative concept to rapid game completion. Games developed with The MoMinis Studio instantly operate on hundreds of Android devices and tablets, and are available for distribution in MoMinis' Games Network. The MoMinis Studio is available as a free download at dev.mominis.com.

About MoMinis

Startup Accelerator MuckerLab Calls for Fall Semester Applications; Announces Partnership with Mozilla Offering Joint Program To Help Give Entrepreneurs A Kick-Start For New Ventures

MuckerLab Teams Up With Mozilla's WebFWD To Offer Open Source Entrepreneurs Opportunity To Create New Venture In-Residence At MuckerLab Offices in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MuckerLab, a privately funded startup accelerator focused on incubation-stage Internet software, services and media ventures in the Los Angeles market, announced this week that it is currently accepting applications for its upcoming 2012 fall semester. Following a successful winter semester, the startup accelerator recently hosted its first inaugural, invitation-only Demo Day last April, in which start-up companies, including Instacanvas, Laffster, LifeCrowd, Penango, SurfAir, Retention Science, OttoLikesLab and Wallaby Financial, officially presented themselves to more than 200 potential investors.

MuckerLab also recently announced that it's teaming up with Mozilla's WebFWD to create a joint acceleration program. By combining the resources of Mozilla and MuckerLab, the companies plan to offer open source entrepreneurs a chance to create new venture in-residence at the MuckerLab offices in Los Angeles. WebFWD is Mozilla's Open Innovation program designed to transform open source projects into business.

The new MuckerLab-WebFWD joint acceleration program will provide teams with up to six months (including three months at MuckerLab) of mentorship from industry experts in the open source community, as well as the broader technology ecosystem, access to the Mozilla global network, infrastructure and other world-class resources.

MuckerLab will continue its commitment to working hands-on with accelerator companies to provide day-to-day guidance and resources to help make these companies successful. According to MuckerLab Co-Founder William Hsu, the new joint program with Mozilla's WebFWD creates yet one more unique avenue of support and exposure.

Pascal Finette, Director of Mozilla's WebFWD acceleration program, said: "The new MuckerLab-Mozilla partnership will allow open source entrepreneurs, especially those based in Los Angeles, to receive a great jump start to their venture via resources and expertise," Finette said. "The joint program will help provide a global platform to enhance entrepreneurs' reach through both the Mozilla brand and the MuckerLab network."

In an effort to boost the growth of L.A.'s overall technology ecosystem, MuckerLab provides seed funding to entrepreneurs, offering them a three-month structured program that gives them access to a network of mentors and advisors who can help them build, launch and grow their businesses.

"Perhaps not commonly known, Los Angeles has had a long-standing reputation as a hub for science- and deep technology-based innovations due to our proximity to some of the world's best research universities, as well as our history in supporting the defense and space industry," Hsu said. "Through the MuckerLab-WebFWD joint acceleration program, we hope to continue that legacy by helping the open source community in L.A. commercialize technology and build industry-defining businesses."

Founded in October 2011, privately funded MuckerLab recruits Internet software, services, and media entrepreneurs through an open, but selective, application process, similar to the models employed by Y-Combinator and TechStars. MuckerLab's 12-week program provides early-stage startups with up to $21K in funding, office space, access to world-class mentors, and hands-on product, and marketing, legal and fundraising support. At the end of the program, companies present their businesses to potential investors at a Demo Day event.

The new WebFWD-MuckerLab joint acceleration program provides teams with up to six months of interactive skill building. The program seeks:

    --  Projects and start-up companies which extend the Web and its "openness";
    --  Technologies that are oriented towards the social and mobile Web (as
        opposed to desktop and OS paradigms);
    --  Prototypes with working code and working minimum viable products;
    --  Teams comprised of deeply committed technologists who are determined to
        building a business, an innovative product and sustained social good.

Continuity Software's RecoverGuard v6.0 Delivers DR Vulnerability Detection and Service Availability Risk Management to Tens of Thousands of Servers

NEW YORK, June 28, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

            Enhancements Ensure Highest Levels of Data Availability and Protection

                     across Physical, Virtual and Cloud Environments

    Continuity Software(TM), the world's leading provider of disaster recovery (DR)
[http://www.continuitysoftware.com/solutions/disaster_recovery_testing ] and business
continuity monitoring and management solutions [http://www.continuitysoftware.com ], today
announced the general availability of RecoverGuard version 6.0 (v6.0) featuring
significant management, scalability, flexibility, and security enhancements. Designed and
engineered in response to direct, real-world customer feedback, the RecoverGuard v6.0 new
features and functionality will ensure that customers continue to be fully protected from
loss of data or availability, and that business continuity will be maintained during any
level of disaster, across their physical, virtual and cloud environments.

    (Logo:
http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20070611/260049 )

    Specifically, RecoverGuard v6.0 has added:

   
    - Distributed Collectors - Users can now setup multiple remote distributed
      data collectors across multiple geographies that are managed centrally by a single
      RecoverGuard server. This new feature enhances RecoverGuard's ease of use, increases
      scalability to tens of thousands of servers, and improves the security of data
      collection by eliminating the need to share information across multiple domains, as
      well as enables automatic load balancing and seamless failover.
    - IntegrationOptions - Continuity Software has opened-up large portions of its
      RecoverGuard Configuration Management Database (CMDB) engine which allows for
      increased flexibility and easier integration into existing processes, a much deeper
      understanding of an IT environment's storage and availability, as well as permits
      integration with additional external reporting tools, consoles, portals and other
      systems. Ticket management system integration has also been enhanced for easy
      integration with all major enterprise ticket management systems, with simple
      configuration via the UI.
    - Host Configuration Comparison Module - Enables users to baseline their server
      environment, analyze and compare arbitrary groups of servers in order to understand
      which servers have deviations from the group, view side-by-side graphical comparisons
      for an even deeper understanding of the environment, and customize host configuration
      reporting for more effective and efficient management.
    - Expansion Packs and Custom Signatures - Users can now specify the data to
      collect (e.g., file existence, metadata, content, registry value, command output,
      etc...), specify custom comparison criteria, easily share custom signatures, and
      customize the output reporting this information.
    - Coverage and Support - IBM PowerVM (VIO server), IBM SAN Volume Controller
      (SVM), IBM PowerHA, and NetApp ZAPI have been added to the extensive array of servers,
      storage, and virtualization platforms supported by RecoverGuard (including EMC, HDS,
      NetApp, IBM, HP, VMware, Oracle, Microsoft, and others).

    "One need look no further than Amazon Web Services (AWS) recent outage and
interruption in customer service to know that disasters happen," said Deni Connor
[http://www.ssg-now.com/who-we-are ], Founding Analyst, Storage Strategies NOW
[http://www.ssg-now.com ] (SSG-NOW). "The ability to proactively identify potential
weaknesses in your high availability and disaster recovery infrastructure in order to
eradicate the issues before they negatively impact your business is critical. Not only can
such outages negatively impact your business - after all, your nearest competitor is
usually just a click away - a loss of service and/or data can also have dire regulatory
compliance consequences. Clearly, a solution such as Continuity Software's RecoverGuard is
a 'must have' in today's information-age economy."

    "RecoverGuard is the only tool on the market today that is able to detect complex
situations and analyze their impact on such a level of granularity, in order to provide an
unprecedented level of risk detection, so that the risks can be eliminated long before
business impact," said Doron Pinhas, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Continuity Software
[http://www.continuitysoftware.com ]. "Our customers can sleep soundly knowing that should
a disaster occur, their data and business applications will remain protected and highly
available."

Network Instruments® Expands Insight into UC, Virtual, and Distributed Environments

New Observer® Infrastructure Integrates Advanced Flow Technologies for App Visibility Across Complex Networks

MINNEAPOLIS, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Network Instruments, a worldwide leader in network and application performance monitoring, announced today the latest release of its resource and infrastructure monitoring solution Observer Infrastructure (OI). OI offers significantly expanded visibility and monitoring of applications, as well as complex virtual and cloud environments.

Through the integration of advanced flow technologies such as Flexible NetFlow, IPFIX, Citrix AppFlow, and Cisco Medianet Performance Monitor, OI queries systems, applications, and critical resources to provide advanced insight into the services and conversations traversing the infrastructure.

Harnessing Flow Technologies
IT teams can now utilize NetFlow and IPFIX within OI to obtain detailed traffic metrics valuable for troubleshooting, assessing bandwidth usage, and optimizing infrastructure performance. In addition, new product support for AppFlow allows OI to provide enhanced analysis of applications traversing Citrix virtual environments. Capturing AppFlow records generated by Citrix Netscaler application delivery controllers, OI tracks application status codes, average request response times, and average turn response times. All of these new metrics are then correlated alongside existing application and infrastructure data, providing a complete view of performance.

"When expanding networks through cloud, virtualization, or building remote sites, teams are often forced to sacrifice visibility," said Charles Thompson, director of product strategy for Network Instruments. "But with Network Instruments, engineers do not face those limitations. OI allows teams to track resource and infrastructure health regardless of the environment, pre-emptively detecting issues before they impact service delivery. OI also serves as a component of our overall performance management platform, which combines intelligence from flow technologies and packet analysis presenting a complete picture of IT activity." 

Cisco: End-to-End UC Tracking
As companies expand use of video and voice, integrated views of communications and the underlying infrastructure are essential for ensuring consistent performance. The newest OI version now supports monitoring of Cisco endpoints, offering complete video and voice session views -- from the call manager to the Cisco desktop client or handset. In addition, organizations with Cisco Medianet can use advanced OI tracking to monitor media communications traversing Medianet-enabled devices. OI reports on critical quality metrics including jitter, latency, packet loss, MOS, and conceal ratios.

Virtual and Public Cloud Monitoring
OI continues to enhance its in-depth tracking of critical virtual and cloud components, guaranteeing seamless performance monitoring across any environment. The latest version provides increased insight into VMware virtual networks with the added monitoring of vCenter. Network engineers can track the management, provisioning, and updating of VMware vSphere hosts. The product also expanded monitoring of critical cloud components. Organizations using Amazon AWS will now be able to query and validate the performance of the Amazon DynamoDB managed service and the elastic load-balancing capability of EC2 environments.

About Network Instruments, LLC
Established in 1994, Network Instruments is an industry leader in application and network management. It provides products that optimize performance and speed problem resolution, helping ensure delivery of critical applications for businesses worldwide. Network Instruments delivers these benefits through a seamlessly integrated line of software and hardware systems that are precision engineered for exact network monitoring and analysis.

"We are very enthusiastic about the GLASS Lab project," said Robert Torres, Senior Program Officer at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  "We need projects that will work with students and speak to them in their native language - digital media. Through game-based learning, students will be challenged, and teachers and parents can get real-time feedback on student progress."

GLASS Lab reflects a major shift in the way students learn and acquire knowledge.  Students today are expected to learn new skills, such as creative problem solving, collaboration and systems thinking, and master new technologies.  GLASS Lab will address these new challenges by exploring how video games can be effective environments for learning.

"Learning is changing and so must educational institutions in order to engage kids and ensure they are taught the participatory and creative skills that are needed to succeed in the 21(st) century," said Connie Yowell, Director of Education at the MacArthur Foundation, which leads a $100-million digital media and learning initiative that aims to determine how digital media are changing the way young people learn, play, socialize, and participate in civic life.  "MacArthur is excited about the potential for GLASS Lab to create and apply new video games and innovation to learning."   

GLASS Lab is based on the understanding that video games and simulations can validate student learning and provide feedback for teachers and parents on students' progress toward established learning goals. Unlike traditional measurement tools, video games are by nature designed to measure progress since learning is happening, and is captured, in the gaming experience itself.

"The video game industry has experienced a transformative change over the past decade with the advent of new mobile, social and online platforms that have opened up opportunities for gaming in a number of sectors, including education," said Jeff Brown, Senior Vice President of Public Affairs, EA. "We are excited to be a founding partner of GLASS Lab and not only house the organization at our headquarters but lend our world-class IP and talent to the project."

Commenting on the potential of video games to provide evidence of learning, Katie Salen, Executive Director of Institute of Play said: "Video games are data rich environments designed to provide ongoing feedback to players; tapping into this richness has the potential to radically alter the way we approach both teaching and learning."

DancePad is a brand new finger-dancing game for the iPad that challenges players to move their hands to the beat. Although the app is easy to learn, it is hard to master as users will have to skillfully jump, slide and jive around the dance floor following dance moves with their fingers. The better gamers get, the more levels they will unlock.

"DancePad combines great music and cool dance steps to create an amazing experience, so there is no one better to partner with on this app than Jennifer Lopez," said Matt Kozlov, CEO of Moonshark. "When we first showed the game to her, she was hooked, and now she's got everyone from her backup singers and dancers to her own kids playing DancePad."

DancePad features 100 levels and a soundtrack of more than 30 top artists including Mayer Hawthorne, Vintage Trouble, Nabiha, The Whigs, Saint Motel, Shu Sho, and many more. Also featured are The Bangerz, best known as the musical masterminds behind the award-winning dance crew, Jabbawockeez. DancePad was originally conceived by Bounce House Games as an undergraduate project at the University of Southern California (USC), and further developed by Triangle Studios.

Moonshark worked with Jabbawockeez to create a video showcasing the energy of DancePad. The dance crew's celebrated moves and stylized rhythm were captured to show how dance embodies human expression. The DancePad promo video featuring Jabbawockeez is available here: http://youtu.be/7Js8kgU8t64

Moonshark's mission is to collaborate with the entertainment industry's most creative talent such as Lopez and Jabbawockeez, to create cutting-edge, engaging and original mobile experiences. With access to CAA's vast resources and deep relationships in entertainment, Moonshark is able to bring ideas to life from high-profile artists by identifying and working with leading developers, and then funding, marketing and publishing the apps.

The DancePad app is available for free from the App Store on iPad or at http://www.itunes.com/appstore .

central data centre. The entire server architecture is completely virtualised and thus
seamlessly scalable at all times. Storage, memory, and CPU are being triggered
automatically when reaching 60 per cent capacity utilization. Due to the flexibility of
the set-up, the system can also be duplicated for major clients for their own use upon
request. Highest standards also apply to the security concept, which complies with all the
requirements of PCI-DSS v2. Among other things, this includes redundantly installed
firewalls in all system connections, comprehensive intrusion detection and DDOS mitigation
for immediately averting attacks, extensive anti-virus measures in every interface as well
as a corresponding multi-layer network design. In addition to PCI-DSS v2, the data centre
itself is additionally certified in accordance with ISO 27001 and ISO 9001.

    About PAY.ON:

    PAY.ON AG is a world leading operator of payment infrastructure systems and supplier
of the white label platform 'PaySourcing' and the routing gateway 'PayPipe'. 'PaySourcing'
makes it possible for customers to outsource all relevant payment and risk-management
processes, or procure them via cloud computing and thus become a payment service provider
themselves whilst saving money, time and resources. 'PayPipe' is a high-performance
payment gateway that connects all payment market participants with each other using just
one interface. Accordingly, 'PayPipe' accelerates global availability for all market
participants like no other network. Using 'PayPipe', transactions can be processed online

Quantum Computing Pioneer D-Wave Inks Deal with Cloud Platform Leader PiCloud

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- PiCloud, the leader in providing easy access to conventional computing power on the cloud, and D-Wave Systems Inc., the leader in commercial quantum computing technology, have announced a formal development partnership. Projects are underway to integrate the two companies' technologies.

"PiCloud is a cloud computing platform dedicated to giving every developer, scientist, and engineer in the world a supercomputer at their fingertips," stated PiCloud co-Founder Ken Elkabany.

The partnership will align the two companies' development goals. D-Wave's development library will be integrated with PiCloud's cloud platform to give developers easy remote access to both quantum and conventional computing power from within the same framework. With the thousands of cores that can be leveraged on-demand with PiCloud, developers will be able to access a new type of supercomputing / quantum computing hybrid capability from anywhere with Internet access.

"Because of the exotic nature of our technology, it was designed from the ground up to be used remotely. This remote access model works beautifully with PiCloud's cloud computing platform. As a developer, you can send parts of your code to the conventional cloud, and parts to D-Wave quantum computers, and the result is a tool that provides access to a new type of high performance computer that has never existed before," said D-Wave Founder and CTO Dr. Geordie Rose.

"D-Wave was a natural fit for PiCloud," said Elkabany, "as we operate in some of the same market spaces, such as financial modeling, defense systems, biological modeling and image analysis.  We share the same vision of making all of the world's compute capability - be it conventional or quantum - easily accessible."

D-Wave's quantum computing technology is designed to excel at machine learning and optimization problems. These types of problems naturally arise in "Big Data" applications where enormous amounts of data must be handled and processed. The classical computing power that PiCloud provides allows aspects of handling Big Data to be done using conventional cloud techniques, while specialized, highly complex tasks can be run on D-Wave hardware.

"One very interesting application of such hybrid systems is in large-scale machine learning, where data volumes are vast, and the learning process requires solution of large numbers of combinatorial optimization problems," said Dr. Suzanne Gildert, Applications Strategist for D-Wave. "This allows all of the best practices currently used for handling and processing large data volumes to continue to be used, but now with a specialized hardware system designed to solve the hard combinatorial nuggets that conventional computers can't deal with."
