Gartner about the social media

By 2014, refusing to communicate with customers via social channels will be as harmful as ignoring emails or phone calls today.

Agile and Apple app store

One of the principles of Agile development is to make a regular releases of the product: "Release your software to your end customers as often as you can without inconveniencing them."  Why is it necessary? The regular project releases would help to produce revenue earlier. Except when the product is not ready, full of bugs and new features which are not welcome y consumers (remember the "Start" button in Windows 8 story?).  For mobile apps development this principle is even more important. When user searches for the application in the app store and see thousands of apps with similar functionality and even similar icons, the release date and the update frequency can be the final factor.  If application was not updated during last 6 months, it can be just an abandoned application - the user thinks and he will give the favor to another one, released just few days ago.  Thus, make updates regularly, do not disappoint your users!

Krento Suite Desktop Widgets

From the beginning Krento was designed to be a combination of Widget Engine and Application Launcher.  Later, the Application Launcher functionality received a higher priority and the Widget Engine development was frozen. Before Krento a few interesting and powerful widget engine alternatives existed but unfortunately the best of them have now been abandoned by developers. On 14 September 2011 Google discontinued the Google Desktop, it is no longer available for download and existing installations are not updated to include new features or fixes. Another popular application Yahoo! Desktop Widgets discontinued on April 11, 2012 and Yahoo Desktop Widgets can no longer be downloaded. While Microsoft is concentrated on the new Metro interface of Windows 8, the situation with Microsoft Windows Sidebar is unclear and finally my favourite application, Kapsules, has not been updated for more than 3 years. For this reason from version 3.1 of Krento the Widget Engine received a second life a...
