That’s the exact toolkit Celoxis offers to its users, who now include some big names like HBO, Bombardier, University of Washington, The Supreme Court of Ohio, KPMG and Bank Mandiri, the largest Indonesian bank. How Celoxis Works The particular appeal of Celoxis is that while offering multiple tools and applications to manage all sort of tasks, the interface is still very simple and user-friendly (even for non-professional project managers). Here’s a video to show you how the software functions and what you can set up with the dashboard:...

To hold on to top-notch employees like Peter, both employers and employees need to give each other an occasional pat on the back. Unfortunately, while Peter’s managers and colleagues want to thank him for going the extra mile, good intentions can get lost in the hustle and bustle of the workplace. Unless, of course, you have an instant peer-to-peer feedback platform like Braavoo for employee engagement. How Braavoo Works Braavoo is a gamified peer-to-peer feedback platform that enables employers and their employees to easily (and instantly) provide meaningful feedback....

One particular panel that was filled with the likes of experts from New Balance, San Francisco 49ers, and even the U.S. Olympic Committee dug in even further by explaining how athletes were evolving due to innovation. For most consumers, we’d typically assume it was the technology that helps our athletes get the competitive edge; however, in a unanimous decision, the panel stated it was really the data that fuels it....

Literally millions of forms are filled every day by people from all over the world – that’s millions of people, every day, having to go through the drudgery of mindlessly filling in all these blank spaces. At some point, though, we’ll all cross the threshold of sanity, and our souls will begin to imprint themselves on all the empty space that will never be filled (because, you know, by then we’ll be brain-dead)....

It’s something we all feel, at one time or another. Seattle UX designer Dylan Wilbanks only confirmed that with his recent post on Medium, “You are better than you think.” Both of them found solace in looking back at their careers and everything they’ve accomplished. But that technique doesn’t always work. You can always accomplish more; you can always find someone with a better resumé or better coding skills. If accomplishment is the key, you have to keep chasing after the next thing, and the next thing, and the next thing....

Last week’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco, put on by Apple, was no exception. They invited individuals from the community to come and learn about the future of iOS and OS X via technical sessions, meetings with Apple engineers, and hands on labs. Paralleling that were, in typical Apple fashion, a host of announcements. However, despite the advancements Apple is making there are a few startups out there who might be a big nervous....

Facebook and Spotify swiftly followed suit, with the social network removing four pages associated with Alex Jones and Infowars: the Alex Jones Channel Page, the Alex Jones Page, the Infowars Nightly News Page and the Infowars Page. Spotify removed all episodes of the Alex Jones Show after removing some episodes last week. Again, both companies stated that the shows had violated their hate speech guidelines, among other infringements. Reaction from the alt-right and conspiracy theorists who make up a large part of Jones’ audience has – perhaps unsurprisingly – been vicious and unyielding....

A new study out from eMarketer confirms that attention spans are making U.S. adults turn to a second screen, even when they’re already watching a first one. The Stats The report, “US Simultaneous Media Users: eMarketer’s Estimates for 2017,” estimates 177.7 million adults will regularly use another device while watching TV in 2017, which is an increase of 5.1 percent over the previous year. Around 162.6 million of those second-screeners will be using a smartphone, the secondary device of choice....

Energy Intelligence – a company that has developed a road-mounted system that harnesses the kinetic energy of braking vehicles to generate electricity, saving high-traffic sites such as parking garages, distribution centers, and tollbooths up to 50 percent of their electric bill – went home with both the grand prize and the People’s Choice award. The company currently has three patents, a tested product, and seven major facilities on board for commercial pilots in 2016....

Being an entrepreneur is an exciting ride, but it is also an emotional roller coaster with drops, turns, and spins. One of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make is not dealing with the emotional impact of the job. It’s much easier to focus on investors, analytics, and finances than your personal emotional and mental health. Why Entrepreneur Psychology is Important A secret most people don’t know is that your emotional life affects every aspect of your business....

New data exporting tools should make it easier for users who want to leave Facebook and keep hold of all the memories they’ve posted to the site, while new audio-only tools that ape other platforms show that social media innovation is, well and truly, dead. Will Facebook’s “throw it at a wall and see what sticks” approach to product development ever bear fruit? Facebook Introduces New Audio Tools Free markets are supposed to breed innovation but, yet again, another social media giant has decided that the way to inspire a flagging user base is by copying Clubhouse....

Though initially launched with a focus on education, Flipgrid attempted to expand their scope and adapt the platform for everyone to use. Having found some success and a sizable funding round, the team was split between two offerings, which also hampered growth. More recently, they made a conscious effort to solely focus on the education driven app. Having done so, Flipgrid not only had an explosive year of growth, their renewed product focus has allowed the company to expand their solution even further with a free offering....

It launched in the US back in July 2021. The tool is available for free with a selection of templates and images, or as part of a GoDaddy website builder package, with a larger catalogue of images and fonts....

What you maybe didn’t know is that he’s incredibly wary of artificial intelligence (AI). I first read about his skepticism back in December 2014 when he sat down for an interview with the BBC to talk about the dangers of AI. Let’s just say that he didn’t sugar coat his views. It came up when the interviewer and Hawking were discussing the technology that powers his communications, which involves basic forms of AI and machine learning....

With a storied history of far too many apps, Google appears to be taking the hint and consolidating its communication platform in hopes of driving more usage from everyday users. Competing with the likes of iMessage isn’t easy, but let’s be honest, Google should be better positioned to make users happy with a more comprehensive communication tool. Now, Google is taking a step in the right direction by knocking off another of its many apps in hopes of making messaging and video calls a bit easier for everyone....

Arriving in Ireland after an epic 80-day journey from Newfoundland, the boat, known as Sailbuoy, bobbed its way into the record books travelling over 3,000 miles at an average speed of 0.8 knots (just under 0.9mph). While not the speediest ship on the seas, Sailbuoy represents an exciting technological development, with huge potential for scientific and commercial applications. As its trip across the Atlantic proved, small autonomous boats needn’t be stuck to the shallows, either....

Benchmark Capital general partner Bob Gurley had this to say of the Grubhub investment: We featured Grubhub and talked with CEO Matt Maloney when they visited DC in September as they were part of the coveted Inc 500 list this year. We also just caught up with both co-founders Matt Maloney and Mike Evans when they spoke at the Tech Cocktail Startup Mixology Conference in Chicago on October 28th. Needless to say, we were happy to hear about their success in raising another round of funding....
