The Start-Up That Promises a Billion Dollar Donation and Offers the Truth About Online Advertising

Sunny Isles, FL (PRWEB) January 07, 2014

Innovative. Groundbreaking technology. New business model. All are words to describe Livecharity, yet ones that do not paint the whole picture. But, how about a billion dollar promise? A promise not to the company, but a promise to the world. Livecharitys CEO, Johnny Saffar, has made this promise: Over half of the companys net profits earned through its users will be donated to non-profit organizations that Livecharity software users select.

The beta version of Livecharitys free software is available today at http://www.livecharity.com for Chrome users first (it integrates within the browser based upon user settings) and is verified by Norton antivirus. Livecharity is an online ad networking company, one with a revolutionary new ad model that puts control into the hands of the users. Ads are displayed every day when one surfs the Internet; those ads generate money because advertisers pay for the ads to be seen. Livecharity now offers a new online surfing experience.

Johnny Saffar noted, What we have to offer is simple: We are giving you the ability to help. Fifteen million children across the world die of hunger each year. One hundred million people are homeless, and 780 million people don't have clean water to drink. Overwhelming numbers, but how about this number? Three billion. Thats the number that some corporations have made in one month from online advertising revenue.

That is money made from individuals browsing the web. Livecharity has created a way to change things, a way to turn the conventional advertising model around so that better targeted ads are displayed and proceeds help NPOs with their causes to make a real, positive difference. Now its not an issue of wanting to help, but rather doing it. That is what Livecharity is truly about empowering people with the ability to effect change.

With the free software, Livecharity users can make a powerful difference at no cost to them simply by downloading the software and doing what they do every day online. The user has control and is able to set ad preferences for a personalized experienced. Its time to #surf4change.

Free Version Of Document Management Software Flow From ProQuest

ANN ARBOR (WWJ) The collaboration and document managementsoftware Flow, from the Ann Arbor database publisher ProQuest LLC, is nowaccessible free for researchers including those working for institutions that dontsubscribe to the service.

Flow manages researcher workflows while integrating document management and sharing with citation data. This enables users to discover and manage content, store and organize documents, and through integration with Microsoft Word, write papers, supported with instant bibliographies and annotation.

Flows social capabilities also allow simple document sharing.

Flow is based on ProQuests RefWorks-COS software, the combination of two web-based research management, writing and collaboration tools now in use by millions of university researchers around the world.

Like RefWorks, Flow is designed to keep libraries at the hub of university research. Subscribing libraries can tap into usage data, revealing patterns that help them understand what their users are researching and which resources are most useful to them. Broadening access to Flow via free individual accounts is expected to yield richer analytics and content usage data.

The ways in which researchers are managing materials and collaborating has changed, said Sharol Lubrano, vice president of research solutions for ProQuest. Flow recognizes and supports those new routines intuitively. But it also takes the next step by generating data that libraries can rely on to improve their service, hone their collections and plot trends that help them anticipate future needs.

Flow was introduced in mid-2013. Its integration of text documents and references enables researchers and scholars to easily organize their research. Sharing capabilities support team collaboration, providing a platform for study groups to work together from multiple locations and for instructors to make class readings accessible within the student workflow.

Users can save web page content and metadata, create collections to organize documents and citations, and upload PDF and Office documents. Flow also has built-in recognition of documents and citations so users dont have to enter metadata manually. Once saved to the cloud, these documents can be read, highlighted, and annotated.

In addition to providing usage statistics, institutional subscriptions enable libraries to offer a premium service to their users, including 10 gigabits of storage per user, unlimited collaborators and training services. The free accounts have 2 gigabits of storage and may add up to 10 collaborators per project.

CES 2014: Intel Changing McAfee Name to "Intel Security"

The company is also offering certain McAfee Security components for free on Android and iOS

Intel wants to hold onto the McAfee Security software, but drop the name for something a little more synonymous with the Intel name.

According to a new report from CNET, Intel CEOBrian Krzanich told an audience at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014 that his company is killing off the McAfee Security brand name and will instead call it Intel Security. This transition is expected to take about a year to complete.

Krzanich said the software will stay the same, right down to thered McAfee shield logo (at least for now). Just the name is getting a makeover.

In addition,Krzanich noted that the mobile versions of the McAfee software will start offering certain components for free on Android and iOS. However, he wasn't clear on which components were the free ones, but said more details would roll out in the coming months.

Intel acquired McAfee back in 2010 for $48 USD a share, for a total price of $7.68 billion USD. At the time, Intel said themajor reason for the acquisition was to expand its wireless security offerings.

Oh, and John McAfee is also known for being a little "crazy" in his personal life. Just last year, he created an ad full of guns, drugs and women that explained how to uninstall the McAfee Antivirus software he created. It's not real shocking that Intel would want to withdraw his name from the software it now owns.

The only reason to hold onto the McAfee name would be for recognition purposes. Many customers out there are very familiar with the McAfee name, but at the same time, there are negative associations with the brand because it, like many other security software packages in the early 2000s, had issues where it either didn't work or bogged computers down to much slower speeds.

Also, Intel is a big name in computers that many customers will recognize and likely trust.
