Commitment to our Users

Our users are very important to us, and we don't just say it, we really mean it.  As the CEO, I want to tell all our users that we are committed to responding to your feedback - positive and negative - and helping you to make the most out of LeapTag.  As an example, I would like to point you to Dan Morrill who initially was concerned that our application might pose a security risk.  He sent us an e-mail and he was so impressed with our prompt reply that he decided to talk about his experience with us in his blog.  I urge you to read it. 

We welcome your opinions, good or bad.  If you have a problem, we will work with you to address it as soon as we can.  If you request a feature, we will do our best to put it in our release schedule.  If you praise us, we may not respond to you right away, just because we are extremely busy building you a better application, but we may ask your permission to quote you on our website.  This is our commitment. 

So, please write to us at support@leaptag.com if you have a question, need help installing or using LeapTag, or just to tell us about your experience with our product. 

Thank you for your continued support.

Discoveries from my LeapTag gadget tag

One of my passions is following and using gadgets.  So naturally, I have this gadget tag that I have set up in LeapTag and I have been using it for about a year now. I had an advanced copy of the application, you see :-).  Thanks to our new "publish" feature, I can now share some of these results with everyone.  Here is a recent sample:

• Sony’s Odo line of environmentally friendly products
  I am so glad that Sony is bringing these new innovations to market.  We saw a preview of some of these at Etech this year. 
• US Army's Joint Repair Facility acts as ER for injured robots
  Preparing for the brave new world.  If we are going to be surrounded by robots we certainly need ER facilities for them.  Asimov, where are you when we really need you?
• MIT professor pulls plug on cables
  Kudos for my alma mater.  This is a problem I wished someone had solved for a long time.  The other advantage of this "wireless electricity" is that it removes the need for all different types of chargers and adapters.  It could lead to a standardization in charging  ALL my gadgets.  YAY!
• Through the filter of a Victorian Aesthetic: And you thought James ...
  An intriguing 19th century gadget.  It reminded me of the trip we took to Florence (or Firenze) in Italy.  If you go to Florence make sure you visit the Museum of the History of Science.  You will see all the gadgets that the artists at the time used to assist their work.  I think they were the engineers and the entrepreneurs of their time. 

Discovered with LeapTag

LeapTag now offers publishing

On Friday we released an update to LeapTag that introduces a number of new features our users have been asking for. The focus of this release is on enabling the sharing of users' discoveries and we have approached this from a number of directions.

• Publishing. Users can select individual LeapTag results, write comments about them and publish the items as HTML, which can be embedded into their blogs and web sites using cut and paste.
• Sharing. Users can now send interesting articles to their friends with our built-in email tool. This feature also enables people to send entire tags via e-mail. Our users have built some great tags and now they can share them with their friends, giving others a leg-up on building their tag collection.

In addition to these sharing features, we added a couple of features to make it easier for people to manage their results with more control:

• News and Blog Feed (RSS) Management. An advanced feature for most users, this feature enables users to select whether LeapTag should never, automatically or always monitor specific RSS feeds - tag by tag.
• Sort-by options and turn off "discovery." We have added new sorting options to the header of every tag results page that will allow users to sort their results by relevance (default), date and source. In addition users can turn off the "discovery" feature for those times when they only want to see results generated by the keywords they selected and the RSS feeds they imported.

These last two features were requested by people who are using LeapTag to filter their RSS feeds and who want the option to to be able to view their results without the benefit of LeapTag discovery.

We hope you will give this new version a try, and look forward to hearing your feedback.
