Hate apps for ad content? OnSwipe may be for you
Apr 15th
With tablets and touch devices like iPhones and Androids becoming increasingly ubiquitous in today’s society, publishers and companies have a few new hurdles in advertising to folks glued to their touchscreens. To overcome those hurdles, there’s OnSwipe, a platform that makes it easy for publishers of all sizes to make their content and advertising a beautiful experience on touch enabled devices via the browser.
The OnSwipe platform works on any device with a browser and allows content to be touch-optimized, so a tablet user viewing an ad can flip through the content and recommend it to their contacts. Ads and content can also fill the entire tablet or touchscreen, providing more room for brand messaging and creativity. The best part, OnSwipe is a publishing option that doesn’t include Apple, in case going through Apple isn’t something you are interested it?
Don’t believe that tablets become more than just the latest fad? Then check out OnSwipe’s infographic on how the tablets compare amongst each other. If you are a believer, then check out sign up for beta testing.

Startup Of The Day: Mobicip
Oct 12th
Your kid has an iPod touch eh? Or an iPhone? Now, how do you control your kids from accessing unsuitable online content on these personal devices? Safari gives you some amount of control on how the internet is accesses on an iOS device but if you want to control specific aspects of browsing the internet, you need something else. That something else may be “Mobicip” Mobicip or Mobile Child Internet Protection lets you replace Safari with a robust parental control based browser. Mobicip gives parents the power to control and report browsing on idevices. Mobicip maintains a database of the websites and services your kids should not be viewing. Based on each parent’s preference, a web based portal allows parents to configure the websites and categories of websites you want blocked. These settings are then pushed into the idevice via the internet. The device is then “safe” for kid browsing since you will obviously disable Safari and ask your kids to use the mobicip browser. The app also lets you view reporst of browsing activity on every device. Give them a peek at Mobicip.com
