Have you ever played Idle Worship? If not, you should! We think Idle Worship blows away the competition.  We want to see if this small startup can beat Zynga at its own game.

As part of our Founders Spotlight, we like to highlight promising startups. This week we’re shining our light on Teamitt.

Teamitt helps companies unleash the passion of employees along with helping employees realize their purpose at work.  Teamitt simplifies creating engagement with your employees, customers and at events. It not only allows you to set engagement goals but also allows you to measure and reward engagement.

As part of our Founders Spotlight series, we cover new, promising startups.  This week we’re featuring Eye Capture, a free mobile app designed for magazines that acts like QR codes on steroids — only without the QR codes or the steroids.

With Eye Capture, you take a picture of the entire page — no tiny QR codes or hidden codes or any codes — and are presented with an screen full of images and magazine-approved links of content that’s directly related to what’s on that page.

You can visit product websites, watch a video or two or three, Like them on Facebook, follow them on twitter, and yes, even buy the product, all from the capture of just the single page. All without having to search for it on a browser, or dig through confusing websites on your iPhone or iPod. Read More...
