Whether you’re unorganized, forgetful, or prone to losing things, the Doc Keeper app by mobile application development company Dr. Appz keeps track of the endless traces of information needed to stay on top of it all. Think of this app as a smart database for all the most important documents in your life – in your pocket. Doc Keeper stores everything you need to reference and in a few swipes of your finger provides proof, support, evidence, account of ownership or obligation, and more.

Storing a document is simple and straightforward. Scroll to the appropriate category, locate the type of document you have, and enter its information in the document-specific fields (ie, it knows if you’re entering a passport to prompt you for the Place Where Issued). After data entry, Doc Keeper asks you to add a picture of the original.  You can take an in-app snapshot of the document or choose an existing image from your gallery. Moreover, Doc Keeper not only keeps your documents, but also reminds you when they’re about to expire. For example, most countries require your passport to be valid for 3-6 months from the date of entry. Doc Keeper won’t let you lapse.

Built-in security features include passcode-lock, hardware encryption, and remote data wipe if your phone ever gets lost or stolen – a feature you won’t find in other personal organizers at this price. Designed with security in mind and simplicity in its entirety, document management app Doc Keeper by Dr. Appz costs $2.99 in the Apple App Store and is available now.

Read It Later lets you keep track of your “to-read” list. Between Twitter, Facebook, and emails from my mom, I get sent dozens of articles per day. When I don’t have time to read an article immediately, I simply click the “Read It Later” button I’ve added to my web browser and the article is added to my reading list. I can then get back to my work without having to worry about forgetting to read the article. I can call up my reading list at the touch of a button and each saved article is synced for reading offline (on my laptop or iPhone).

The Dangers of Not Having A Website

Not having a website is like voluntarily wearing a muzzle.

Clients regularly come to Blue Fountain Media looking for help with their online reputation. These clients fall into two categories: a) Those who want to build their online presence in general; and b) Those who want to build an online presence in response to specific events.

Problems inevitably occur in business, and it’s important to be prepared. Having a web presence means you have a forum to communicate with the outside world. If When something happens, people will turn to your website and blog for information.

Here’s an example of a big company neglecting their online presence and (probably) regretting it:

An Example: AT&T Has Trouble Communicating

iPhone sales have been halted in New York City and AT&T has given no explanation.

Over 500 news articles about the New York iPhone debacle

Last night The Consumerist & CNET reported that AT&T had stopped selling the iPhone in the greater New York area.
