"Make your project work a breeze with Trailhead: Basecamp Client for iPad"

My favorite iPhone and iPad applications development company Faqden Labs has announced the release of Trailhead, a Basecamp client for iPAD. This app provides a true mobility layer to the project management and collaboration application of 37Signals.com’s Basecamp.
 

So, it is good news for all the people who are either using Basecamp as their Project Management tool or planning to use it sometime soon. Trailhead is an intuitively designed iPad app that provides a slick and quick interface to your Basecamp projects. The current release of Trailhead supports the two most important functions of Basecamp i.e, Messages and To-Dos. One of the main advantage for the existing Basecamp users is that using Trailhead, you can connect to any of your Basecamp accounts and browse through all your projects. You can view, edit and add comments to your messages. It retrieves all the right people and companies that are registered with each project for you to conveniently subscribe the messages to.

The user experience and usability design is very intuitive and flexible. The app lets users jump from a certain activity in one project, directly to an entirely different activity in any another project. It consumes as few user actions as possibly can in doing so.

Some of the exciting features that Trailhead offers are-

• Browse projects 
• Work with Messages and To-Dos 
• Easy access to Messages: Users can View\Edit messages and also can view\edit and post new comments. The intuitive UI design makes the messages always available with one-button touch 
• Flexible management of To-Dos: Users can View\Edit To-Do lists and also can view\edit and post new comments.
• Users can Create new To-Do lists or add items to existing To-Do lists right from the app, and like everything else, it is only a button touch away 
• Users can drag\drop action items to re-order them, but can also re-order the to-do lists themselves. 
• Users can Finish\Unfinish items and lists right from the app. You can toggle between finished and unfinished action items for convenience. 
• Pick the right people and companies to subscribe items to 
• Calendar feature is added. Now you can add, modify and monitor your milestones and events of your Basecamp account 
• Calendar displays pins to indicate presence of events at a high level 
• Remember Login, so you don’t need to enter it over and over. Convenience is the mantra!
• Login\Logout functionality   

By the way for the record, Trailhead has got a phenomenal start. Trailhead Basecamp client for iPAD is 81st ranked "Productivity application" of the entire Apple app-store that too competing with 12000 other applications and climbing into the top 100 in less than 2 days from its release is simply massive !!

SOMETIMES...

Sometimes I feel no connection to this world...
I feel everyone is so much into its own life
I feel no reason to be connected to anyone

Sometimes I just want to be with thyself...
I reincarnate the love for what I do
Though, I feel like going into my shell

Sometimes I like to be lonely....
I rediscover myself
I go in introspection

Sometimes I think if it were easy to do whatever I want to do...
I wish I could do anything thing without worrying about the money
I could leave everything to change someone's life in the mountains

Sometimes I'm genius, others dumb...
I know what I want
Yet sometimes there is a confusion

Sometimes I'm not what I'm...
May be I go wrong
Yet I know my intentions weren't wrong !!

R.I.P. STEVE JOBS- THE END OF AN ERA

 

Steven P. Jobs, the Apple Inc. chairman and co-founder who pioneered the personal-computer industry and changed the way people think about technology, died Wednesday at the age of 56.

I'm a big fan of this very great soul, who changed the world and made us all believe in the innovative technologies. Mr. Jobs had battled pancreatic cancer and several years ago received a liver transplant. In August, Mr. Jobs stepped down as chief executive, handing the reins to longtime deputy Tim Cook.

Steve Jobs in younger days - Picture taken in 1984

A college drop-out and the son of adoptive parents, Jobs changed the technology world in the late 1970s, when the Apple II became the first personal computer to gain a wide following. He did it again in 1984 with the Macintosh, which built on the breakthrough technologies developed at Xerox Parc and elsewhere to create the personal computing experience as we know it today.

The rebel streak that's central to his persona got him tossed out of the company in 1985, but he returned in 1997 and after a few years began the rollout of a troika of products -- the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad -- that again upended the established order in major industries.

The whole world has gone into a state of shock after hearing the news of the death of Steve Jobs. The is the message on the Apple.com, the company that Steve Jobs founded –

 

There are so many companies around the world who develop iPhone/iPad/Mac applications and their business started just because Steve started Apple. Here is tribute from one of such company called- Panic

 

Steve Jobs is a great inspiration to everyone and I cannot forget his speech at the Stanford University few years ago.

STEVE WE ALL MISS YOU !! R.I.P........ 

STAY HUNGRY, STAY FOOLISH ~ Steve Jobs

SOMETHING REALLY CLOSE TO MY HEART

Hello people, we are in the middle of the weekend over here in India, and I'm going through mixed feelings about something really close to my heart. For the last couple of weeks I was working on my "Social Responsibility" project and finally, today in the morning I changed the website for the same to a completely new look. I think it has turned out the way I wanted, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed to hear your comments about the same. I invite you visit my new website here - www.iBlog4aCause.com.

Along with the website makeover, I've also added a lot of new features to it.One of the feature that will be of interest to a lot of you who really want to make a difference by using the power of your words is- "iBLOG4ACAUSE" partners with various small and big firms who want to market their products over the internet using the power of blog marketing. iBlog4aCause will charge these partner companies on a per post basis or for a fixed amount as per the negotiated deal with the partner company. Whatever may be the deal, iBlog4aCause will publish the details for the same in the invitational post to the bloggers. The money raised from the partner companies will then be used for a social cause, and all its details and proofs will be published on iBlog4aCause.com in the subsequent future posts.
 
iBlog4aCause will publish a post on its website with the complete details as per the requirements and the guidelines of the partner company, inviting bloggers to write a blog-spot about the same on their own blogs. Each blogger interested to do a blog-post for the partner company will have to first comment against the invitational post published on iBlog4aCause.com expressing its willingness for the same, and later on posting a new comment with the link to your original blog-post for the partner company. I feel never before it was so easy to be part of something that makes a real difference to the society, and iBlog4aCause provides you with this simple and holistic approach to raise money for the social causes that we all support.

Even though, I mentioned the opportunities for blogger to contribute towards the various social cause, but let me clarify that it is NOT just for blogger. There are several other things for the people who are interested in being a part of social campaign but not interested in blogging. I would request you to visit the website for more details. May be, I will publish another post over here to explain opportunities for non-bloggers soon.
I wish more and more people will join iBlog4aCause and try to make a difference. I've a big vision for this non-profit social responsibility project of mine, and I know we have made right moves in the right direction, but the more new people I can add to my network the more easy it will be to serve the purpose. I hope a lot of you will start following iBlog4aCause soon and playing your part in the social causes that we are working for.
