SwiftPad gets face time on neobinaries.com and techcrunch.com. I submitted to techcrunch.com the end of April and neobinaries.com on May 2nd. Both got some quick hits and climbed above entries around them. Here’s the page hit count for each: techcrunch.com forum view and neobinaries.com application listings. Both entries also resulted in a nice number of account sign ups.

Emre Sokullu also has a nice article about marketing web apps on Read/Write Web: How To Market Your Web App. Lots of comments as well.

When Is A Project A Project?

You have a new idea. Now it’s time to start the long journey of finding resources and validating the idea. The process usually involves saving website URLs, subscribing to different RSS feeds, keeping track of questions or interesting posts from various forums, taking notes or cutting out paragraphs of useful text from a site. Then you realize keeping tracking of all this information is becoming cumbersome to say the least. As you go from work or school to your home laptop then home desktop, you keep having to send URLs, RSS subscriptions, forums (some of which don’t allow watching threads), and finally your notes. Much of your information is scattered across multiple computers, since that’s where everything was compiled. It’s not uncommon to forget to ship the newest information over to the PC you’ll be working at. To make matters worse, each time you start researching your idea at a PC you haven’t worked with before, you have to install and configure a new RSS reader, wait for it to download feeds, start saving new bookmarks again that you may potentially forget on the current PC. You also notice the growing pile of URLs and logins for the various sites you are using to help keep track of everything.

All of these distractions are time consuming to say the least and greatly hendering your progress. You just want to know if the information you’ve compiled will turn into a feasible project, business, consulting job, or perhaps you just need a place to store random bits of usual info. If only there were a simple workspace that could keep everything together.

Cygen SwiftPad to the rescue. SwiftPad’s aim is to take the above difficult process and simplify it by letting you work in a single workspace accessible from anywhere. SwiftPad contains the tools you are familiar with for gathering information such as RSS Reader, website bookmarking, forum subscriptions, and notes. SwiftPad also works behind firewalls since it is all text based, allowing access from public and corporate computers without any hassle.

SwiftPad’s work space is composed of a left side navigation containing content for RSS feeds, website bookmarks, forum subscriptions with notications, and notes. Each item opens in a tab, allowing you to view multiple notes, edit/add content all at the same site. SwiftPad will continue improving this process, helping you get your idea into a tangible project with confidence. Sign up for a SwiftPad account for free or try a quick demo. After using SwiftPad’s simplified workspace, I’m sure you will see how much time and energy you can save in gathering resources across the Internet.
