3 Facts you need to know, to blast your business into the future
I would like to take a moment of your time and talk about the brand new
ICANetwork Smartphone App with unlimited text messaging.
FACT No. 1:
The number of internet connected devices is set to explode in the next four years to over 15 billion - twice the world's population by 2015. Technology giant Cisco predicts the proliferation of tablets, mobile phones, connected appliances and other smart machines will drive this growth.
Don't get left out on this technological wave... it's happening right now!
Think of your smart phone app as an advertising tool, or as a communication tool, or both! Use it for Business, Family or just for fun.
FACT No 2:
Right now today, 95% of all text messages are read within five minutes of receipt. Compare that to email. Email messages do not even come close.
Alert your customers to specials, click the mouse, send a text message anytime of the day or night, as often as you want... No extra charge!
This technology works on all smart phones - iPhones, iPad and Android-based systems.
FACT No 3:
This app has already been trialled and is in use by Jane Mark and Phil Basten for Sokule and the Kule collection, so you know it has to be good.
No matter what field you're in, no matter what market you serve, you better hurry! You can beat your competitors to the punch.

ScreenHunter Free - Download.com
This software was recommended by a friend to use in making 468x60 banners
Reviewed by: CNET staff on June 01, 2009When information comes across your screen that you do not want to forget, a screen capture is in order. While using inaccurate and confusing hot keys was once the preferred method, ScreenHunter Free offers an alternative that promises to simplify the process.
This free program has a simple interface that makes this operation surprisingly easy. The main screen is well spaced and intuitive enough to have new users making screen captures in no time. A menu along the top allows users to make screen captures now or to stand by. Along the left side of the screen are the buttons to toggle between options of where the capture comes from, where it is sent, and more advanced options. The Advanced and Send To options are fairly standard for this type of software, but the Capture From option is quite unique. On this screen, users can select a single hot key to take screen captures, as well as select whether they'd like a full-screen capture, capture a window, or simple a small rectangle (which brings up crosshairs that let you zero in on target).
ScreenHunter Free promises to make getting screen captures easier and we were pleased to find it lived up to this promise. The process is simple, the options are easy to manage, and the results are flawless. We highly recommend this download for all users.
