Bccthis App Extends BlackBerry Mail Capabilities by Allowing Users to Securely Send Private Notes to Selected Recipients of Their Emails
Los Angeles, CA -March 18, 2010 – Bccthis, developers of an innovative new technology that allows users to send private messages along with their emails, today announced the availability of the Bccthis for BlackBerry application. The application integrates seamlessly into the device’s email client and provides the same innovative features of the Bccthis desktop plug-in for Outlook.
Savvy organizations increasingly track the costs and efficiencies lost as a result of time spent dealing with spam and poorly written communication. Using Bccthis, sales professionals can keep team members in sync with progress, HR professionals can securely send and receive additional context to sensitive emails, and the general public can benefit from the ability to deliver private footnotes to complicated email threads.
Bccthis offers a new approach to messaging that enriches the current trend of short-form, rapid-fire bursts of information by providing a platform that allows users to add focused, relevant context to email.
Like sticky notes for your email, the BlackBerry application allows users to compose private, secure messages to selected recipients in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields of their emails while simultaneously sending a message to a larger group. No plug-in is necessary to view the private messages and the application can be downloaded starting today free from Bccthis.com or the BlackBerry App World store.
“Bccthis offers a new way to improve the effectiveness of everyday communication,” says Dave Waldman, CEO of Bccthis. “A lot of people are concerned with inbox clutter and our BlackBerry app allows users to reduce unnecessary communication by sending the right message to the right people – something that’s critical for the millions of BlackBerry users worldwide who rely on efficient day-to-day communication.”
The Bccthis product suite is designed to address the information and relationship disparity that exists in digital communication and extends across desktop and mobile email clients through to social networking services. For email, Bccthis offers a plug-in for Microsoft Outlook which allows users to send personalized notes to selected recipients in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields along with their original email.
For Twitter, Bccth.is provides an innovative interface to send personalized messages to selected recipients while tweeting to a broader group of followers.
The full Bccthis product suite is available in beta today at www.bccthis.com, and the Bccthis BlackBerry app can, for selected handset models, also be downloaded free via the BlackBerry App World portal.

SUGARSYNC LAUNCHES ‘UPLOAD BY EMAIL’; ADDS NEW 500 GB STORAGE PLAN
Feb 24, 2010 Apps, Deals, Technology
Email attachments can now sync instantly to multiple computers and smartphones in one easy step
SAN MATEO, CALIF., February 24, 2010 – Sugarsync
Inc., makers of the award-winning Sugarsync
digital sync, backup and sharing service, today unveiled Upload by Email, a new feature designed to dramatically simplify the process of syncing email attachments to a user’s SugarSync ecosystem of computers and smartphones.
The new feature enables a Sugarsync user to sync any email attachment to a dedicated folder in their SugarSync account by simply forwarding it to a special email address. Instantly, the file(s) is available on all synced devices.
“It’s our goal to make your data always available at your fingertips,” said Laura Yecies, chief executive officer at SugarSync. “Upload by Email eliminates the need to download attachments and re-save them. We’re happy to add another way to make sync your most important files easier and more transparent.”
For example, if a user receives an email with many attachments, they can simply forward it to their unique Sugarsync email address (comprised of random numbers and letters for spam protection). All attachments will transfer to their SugarSync account – available on all of their devices immediately. This is much easier than downloading attachments one-by-one.
A user could also provide the unique email address to trusted friends and family or colleagues to upload photos or other documents directly to their PC. The email address can be easily changed from within Sugarsync at any time.
Upload by Email is also a particularly valuable tool to sync a file while traveling. If a user sees an important attachment arrive in their inbox via any mobile phone with email or on a Web-based service, they can forward the email to the unique address. Next time they log into their computer, the attachment will be there, ready and waiting.
Lastly, many business users are plagued by limits to e-mail account sizes. With Upload by E-Mail, a user can forward the attachment and then delete the original e-mail to keep an account under pre-set limits.
For added security, SugarSync will scan all file attachments for viruses prior to syncing, and certain file types are not accepted (e.g., .exe, .cmd, .bat) to prevent malicious files from landing in an account.
SugarSync Raises Storage to 500 GB
The company also unveiled a new 500 GB SugarSync Plan ($39.99/mo, or $399/year USD introductory price). Previously, the highest level of storage available was 250 GB.
“The rate with which we consume gigabits is only increasing,” said Yecies. “Smartphones, with picture and video-taking capabilities, and streaming media services are only adding to this data explosion. As a result, we’ve had many requests for higher-storage accounts. We’re very happy to formalize this plan at an attractive introductory price for power users everywhere.”
Continued Yecies, “SugarSync can easily scale to support larger amounts of data while maintaining the level of control only found with our selective sync technologies. This is critical, because many new devices today, especially netbooks and tablets, are designed with limited local storage. Customers with large amounts of data need to be able to mix-and-match their folder syncing to maximize their storage and have offline access to important files.”
Sugarsync is a flexible syncing and online backup service providing always-connected consumers and busy professionals a powerful way to organize, manage, share and access all their files on-the-go, instantly and securely from any Mac, PC or mobile device.
Sugarsync supports virtually all computer and smartphone operating systems, including Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone, Blackberry, and WinMo. This breadth of support ensures that users can choose to work from virtually any device from any location.
About SugarSync:

Pop-Up Blocker
Dec 22, 2008 Apps
Those cool cats at SmrtGuard have released a new beta of the popular PeekaWho notification tool, popup blocker! You can now decide who you want to get the popup notifications from. The interface is pretty easy to use, you add people to the white list or black list depending on your settings and viola, they’re either blocked or not.
If you haven’t been using PeekaWho or Aerize Email Alerts you should look look in to one of them. Using either tool can save you time in switching from whatever you were doing to mail just to see that Mom wrote to say she misses you (again). IF anyone’s using either PeekaWho or Aerize and would like to do a review, let us know!
