Quimble Now Makes Group Opinions and Decisions Easy

Brooklyn, NY (PRWEB) November 28, 2005

Let’s face it, polls on websites and blogs have been around for a long time. The interfaces have been atrocious and usually you are signing up to put ads on your site. There has been no easy way to collect the opinion of a group of people through email.

The new web service, Quimble (http://quimble.com), changes all that. Quimble sports an easy-to-use interface that gives you all the tools you need with none of the usual complexity.

The idea for Quimble grew out of large group meeting. Twenty friends of Topper Bowers (the site’s founder) needed to decide on a restaurant to use for a reunion. Group email was not working as no consensus was being reached. The initial version of Quimble was born. The votes were quickly counted and comments and discussions were all held in a central place rather then scattered through inboxes.

Since that initial version, Quimble now makes it easier than ever to add a poll to a blog or website (copy and paste one line of code). Quimble has boomed with Spanish speakers which is a testament to the ease of the English-only interface.

Quimble was created by Topper Bowers from Brooklyn, NY. Topper is a 25 year old graphic designer who taught himself how to program on the web. Quimble uses many of the latest technologies including Ruby on Rails and light AJAX interface features. Every user on Quimble has a personal RSS feed of their latest polls. Many users are now subscribing to their friend’s Quimble feeds in order to get the latest polls, bypassing email all together. Topper publishes a blog (http://blog.quimble.com) chronicling his work on the site.

Quimble has made a quick splash over the Thanksgiving weekend with links from Robert Scoble (http://scobleizer.wordpress.com/) and the nBlog (http://utilidades.bitacoras.com).

James Schramko Announces Critical Changes for SuperFastBusiness, Recommends Business Management Decisions that Guarantee Rewards


Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) November 14, 2012

James Schramko makes a revealing statement in his latest business video update. The SuperFastBusiness owner recently disclosed he would be concluding his affiliate programs at the tail end of 2012 and that he is working on achieving market leadership in his industry by providing superior products and services to customers without the affiliate markups. Citing a need to keep business management simpler and outputs more rewarding, Schramko also mentions a very specific reason for the impending changes to his successful business.

Schramko explains, Theres such a huge racket going on right now of credit card fraud, where people join an affiliate program, rack up purchases with a stolen card, and pocket the affiliate commissions before the chargeback arrives. Schramko reveals that the recent business decision to shut down affiliate programs was based on several other reasons; however, the Aussie-based business owner stops short of going into further detail. He does mention that closing the affiliate program might be temporary and its reintroduction would depend on whether it would benefit the business or not.

Beginning the first week of January next year, Schramko will no longer be accepting affiliate programs for all his products. Some of Schramkos products include FastWebFormula (web business coaching), Wealthification (business strategy training), LinkJuice (web promotion and content creation), ATLWeb (custom WordPress web design), and the highly anticipated done-for-you version of Own The Racecourse pack. Schramko remarks tellingly, I really want to focus on being a market leader and I want people to promote my stuffnot because theyre getting paid for itbecause the products are good.

Schramkos video also delivers some very specific ways other businesses can achieve productivity, improve efficiencies, and, eventually, gain footing in their own market. The SuperFastBusiness owner points to using effective tools like Wistia, which does video hosting, and DropBox, which does file hosting, as smart weapons for running and growing any good business. Schramko says of Wistia, Its very fast in streaming for the sales pages, and the inside of the membership videos are giving my users a better experience because it just streams so quickly and it looks sweet. Incidentally, FastWebFormula has just developed a new section dubbed Wistatorium, which is a how-to area where members get the inside scoop on video lighting, sound production, and equipment handling. Wistia provides the training videos.

Make sure your data is backed up, Schramko reminds other businesses. He goes on to add, Get something in place for your local computer as well. A lot of things are on cloud computing now so thats some solution, but you might also want a little back-up locally a hard drive that you stick in grandmas cupboard or whatever, so that in case the worse comes to worst, you can get back up and running quickly It is easy to do before a disaster happens Use something like DropBox and youll be fine.

Schramko encourages all businesses to not waste valuable time and precious energy on practices that yield little to no incentives. He himself applies it for all his businesses. Whether its providing just service or offering products along with those services, Schramkos advice for any business is to rethink how their decisions affect customers needs and profits, and to come up with better solutions.

He says, Question whether you need stuff. Question if what you set up a long time ago is still working for you now, and if not, make the necessary changes even if theyre painful. Youll be better off when you have a simpler, more effective machine. And Im not just talking about the affiliate model, Im talking about anything that has to do with your business.
