The ultimate bordeom buster for when you&#8217;re actually stuck in traffic or on the train, Rush Hour Logic is one of those games where you aim to release your car from the unbearable traffic jam.<span></span></p>
<p>&#8220;Our customers around the world have been asking for a Rush Hour app, the iPhone version was introduced in November 2009, and now the Android application joins the Rush Hour family,&#8221; says Bill Ritchie, ThinkFun co-founder and CEO.</p>
<p>And with the new apps, it&#8217;s not good enough to simply get your car out of the traffic jam, but rather in Perfect Score mode, your Android phone can grade you on how efficiently you got out of the jam. And of course, there is a solve button for those who cannot stand the traffic jam anymore!</p>
<p>And if you&#8217;re a hardcore Rush Hour Logic fan, you can unlock over 2500 new challenges with the purchase of the $1.99 version of the app, available in the Android marketplace or app store. With the regular app, you will get 35 puzzles. Find the Rush Hour/Android app for free in the Android Market on your handset – categories:  Games – Brain &amp; Puzzle.</p>

Buying is about trust. Is what you’re selling me really as good as you say it is? Obviously a shopper would trust an expert or friend more than a product page or sales person. Based on the concept of trust to enhance online shopping, RunToShop is an online tool that integrates with any e-commerce store and lets customers recommend, compare and ask questions about different products through social networks.  This active sharing is designed to enhance trust and increasing online sales.</p>
<p>So here’s how it works: companies can purchase the RunToShop widget and integrate it into their e-commerce store. When customers are looking at a particular product in the store, they can easily pull up information about what other customers are saying about the product including reviews or recommendations.  If they want to leave a review or recommendation, the customer <span></span><a href="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/runtoshop2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11687" src="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/runtoshop2-300x157.jpg" alt="runtoshop2 300x157 RunToShop Recommendation Widget Makes Shopping A Trusting Experience " width="300" height="157" /></a>can quickly log in through a social network like Facebook. The added benefit of using social networks in conjunction with this tool is that a) it’s easy to leave a review because you probably already have a Facebook or other social network account  and b) a customer’s product recommendation will be pushed out through those channels, giving the product free publicity.</p>
<p>RunToShop has a website that lets users search for various products and reviews, which is currently only in Finnish but will soon be in English too. Besides just searching for reviews, the website acts as it’s own social network that lets users create profiles that highlight their favorite products. Users become “experts” in a particular genre, increasing trust and brand awareness. RunToShop hopes that by using the familiarity and trust that comes from social networking will enhance a buyer’s experience and ultimately lead to more sales.  Also with a Facebook app, RunToShop is using social networking to change the way people shop, search for, and buy products.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/5.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11577" src="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/5-300x219.jpg" alt="-5" width="300" height="219" /></a>If you know me personally, then you know that I’m a huge Twitter addict, but I have to admit that some of Twitter&#8217;s usability is a little lacking. 140 characters limits long-winded-self-promoters to just a few words, which prompts the use of shortened URLS for the maximum tweetage. But with the use of shortened links, tweets may contain links to either really cool content or spammy websites and self promoting blogs. So how can we know for sure where those shortened links are taking us without clicking on them? Also, is that twitpic your friend just sent of his breakfast worth taking the time to open up in a new window? If you struggle with these dilemmas everyday like I do, then <strong><a href="http://brizzly.com/">Brizzly</a> </strong>is here to help. An enhanced way to experience Twitter, the site pulls in your Twitter feed and takes its usability to the next level. Plus its mascot is a really cute grizzly bear.<span></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/brizzly-bear.png"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11576" src="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/brizzly-bear.png" alt="brizzly bear" width="140" height="163" /></a>What makes Brizzly really cool is the fact that links are expanded to their original size so you can see where a link will take you, photos are revealed, and videos are embedded directly into the feed so you can easily start watching. Since I started using Brizzly, I’ve seen Twitpics that I never thought I’d see before by just glancing – no clicking required! Also, I check out a lot more videos now, which I might&#8217;ve have otherwise missed. Brizzly reveals links from twitpic, Yfrog, Flickr, etc., maps from Google Maps, and video from YouTube and Vimeo.</p>
<p>Direct messages appear in an IM style box to the right of your Twitter feed along with an alert, which is a hell of a lot easier than clicking on “direct message” everytime you want to check your messages. You can also add up to five different Twitter accounts and manage them all from the Brizzly interface.</p>
<p>An added feature totally unique to Brizzly is the “groups” function, which lets you filter the conversation based on network. For example, you can add the people you’re following to various groups like “Work,” “Friends,” “Celebrities,” etc. Brizzly basically has all the features of regular Twitter with added helpful things like the IM feature, tweet drafts, trends explained, and expanded URLs and pictures. Although unavailable to the public yet, you can sign up for this free tool on Brizzly.com. Pretty much, Brizzly rules.<a href="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/brizzly4.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-11590" src="http://www.chipchick.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/brizzly4-226x300.jpg" alt="brizzly4 226x300 Brizzly Fixes Everything You Hate About Twitter " width="226" height="300" /></a></p>
