We’ve been talking a lot about Vayyoo for a few reasons: we love their product and we’ve been playing Settlers of Catan with their director of marketing on a pretty regular basis.

Here are some old articles about them that tells the story of the product’s progression.

Today Vayyoo has launched vPost to the public at a one-time purchase price of $9.95 with a free two-week trial.

Check them out in the store here.

vPost is an app that lets you capture and email any combination of Pictures, Video, Audio Notes, Text & GPS location using an extremely powerful and simple interface.

Once you capture any combination of media you can send it via email to friends, family, colleagues, blogs and social networks. Without vPost it can take over 5 minutes to compose an email with 2 pictures, an audio note, and GPS location. With vPost this task can be done in less than a minute with no hassles. You can try vPost today and start sending rich-media to anyone and everyone!

Use it for anything:
- File a life experience by emailing it to yourself
- Share moments with close friends while it’s happening (near real-time)
- Publish media to Facebook, Blogger, Wordpress, Flickr, Picasa, etc. and share with you online communities
- Annotate pictures with a voice recording of what’s actually happened
- Send accidents, act’s heroism, & other newsworthy events in to news agencies (CNN, BBC, etc.)
-Update Twitter via services like posterous.com, pixelpipe.com, and utterli.com
- Send vPost voice & video messages to each other
- Send your friends your exact location in near real time.

Vayyoo has assured us a that a storm version will be available soon.

Vayyoo has setup a vPost website at www.getvpost.com where they have a FAQ, contact info, and links to their Twitter account.

Comment with what you think of the app!

We’ll be sending an email to some of the comments with free license keys.

Again, you can see the app here.

Ziibii enables real-time social interaction between users across a variety of popular social media applications, as well as on-going discovery of news, stories and blogs throughout the day. Displayed on the screen of the handset, Ziibii’s visual expression metaphor is a river with content “rafts” floating with the user’s pre-defined content, including direct-connect to social networking sites and RSS feeds.

Aside from broadcasting, JuiceCaster also lets you view other videos on the network so you meet all sorts of other mobile video microbloggin’ types.

This isn’t breaking news or anything but I couldn’t let this site continue without posting Hitler’s frustration when he learns that Twitter is down. The QB Twitter feed is used fairly often and whenever it goes down during a conference we die a little inside. Feel free to follow us. We’ll be going to Korea and CTIA in the near future and you’ll want to hear all about it!

QuicklyBored editor in chief Kyle McInnes waits for an iPhone 3G


“I am a Golden God.”

After deciding that we had to have an iPhone 3G at launch, the QuicklyBored staff drew straws to see which lucky bastard would get to hold the Jesus Phone 2. With Machiavellian-like gusto Coincidentally, QB’s editor in chief, Kyle McInnes, just happened to win. Of course, that meant Kyle had to stand out in the cold all night in front of a Rogers store. What follows is is a time line of Kyle’s slow decent into madness, as told through the QuicklyBored Twitter feed.

5:08 pm — QuicklyBored is in line! It begins!
5:09 pm — The dude in front of me thinks he can sell spots ahead of him. What?!
5:18 pm — The first guy in line (I’m 3rd) has like 10 older iPhones and a Mercedes slk. Damn.
8:11 pm — Dude who wants to sell spots in line is breaking down his scam to reporters who are unimpressed.
10:11 pm — All the news crews have left. Now the party begins!
1:08 am — Getting drink at the bar across the street with some boys who were in line. And by drink I mean drunk.

Keep reading about Kyle’s decent into iPhone 3G madness!
