BROOKLINE, NH, June 25, 2011 (Press-News.org) Pinpoint, LLC announces the launch of Pinpoint, an innovative web application that allows people to point, store, and share their personal locations with the world.

Pinpoint will save businesses and people time by enabling them to create pins on a map. Users can give each pin its own customized URL, which makes referring back to a particular place easier than ever!

Businesses can also use their office pin as an alternative to their postal address.

"I invented Pinpoint when I found myself searching the same place over and over again on Google Maps and sending the same link to friends," says Max Tolstokorov, Pinpoint CEO.

"People can use [Pinpoint] to store and share pins with friends. Businesses can use it in everyday work flow or as a marketing tool when they need to manipulate dozens of points on a map and to share them with colleagues or clients. It will be a dynamic asset to real estate agencies, banks, hotels, even locations for Hollywood film crews."

Pinpoint also allows users to use tags to classify pins, or multiple locations, then group them into sets for easy organization. These sets can be shared on Facebook and Twitter, or embedded into a personal or business Website.

Additionally, Pinpoint tracks how many people visit a pin. It also counts favorites - so users will know which pins are the most popular.

Pinpoint is a simple, user-friendly, and perhaps the most effective way to track and share locations with people around the globe.

Humpback whales catch prey with bubble-nets

2011-06-25

Marine biologist David Wiley of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and others report in the latest issue of Behaviour (Volume 148, Nos. 5-6) how humpback whales in the Gulf of Maine catch prey with advanced water technology. Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) are large baleen whales (up to 14 m long) that feed on a small prey in dense concentrations, such as krill or herrings. Humpbacks whales have large flukes relative to their size providing greater thrust for quick maneuvers. While other baleen whales feed by swimming rapidly forward, ...

Pollinators make critical contribution to healthy diets

2011-06-25

Fruits and vegetables that provide the highest levels of vitamins and minerals to the human diet globally depend heavily on bees and other pollinating animals, according to a new study published in the international online journal PLoS ONE. The new study was carried out by an interdisciplinary research team, comprised of pollination ecologists and a nutrition expert, based at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg, the University of Berlin in Germany, and the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco. The research team showed that globally "animal-pollinated ...

Singapore scientists discover how to control fate of stem cells

2011-06-25

Scientists from the Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), an institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), in collaboration with the Cancer Science Institute of Singapore (CSI), have discovered how the body uses a single communication system to decide the fate of stem cells. The study, published in the scientific journal PLoS Genetics on 23rd June 2011, paves the way for the development of new methods of stem cell therapy with fewer side effects. Dr Kian Leong Lee and his team of scientists studied how a single signaling system known as the Nodal/Activin ...

Precise assembly of engines

2011-06-25

This release is available in German. Valves, nozzles, pistons, spark plugs and camshafts – the heart of each car is its engine. It is a complex structure with many levels and individual parts and must therefore be assembled in a correspondingly precise way. Parts that are slightly damaged, malformed or assembled the wrong way can cause engine damage. The results would be an angry customer and damage to the reputation of the car manufacturer. While assembly is mostly automated for the construction of the body, the engine is still assembled by hand over long stretches. ...

Crafting a Parenting Plan for Unwed Parents

2011-06-25

Making arrangements for child custody and visitation can be difficult in the best of situations, but even more so if the parents are unmarried. Unwed parents have to work even harder to ensure that the best interests of their children are protected when making decisions about child custody and parenting time (perhaps better known as "visitation"). Since roughly 40 percent of children are now born out of wedlock, issues surrounding parenting plans for the children of unmarried parents are more important than ever. While it is always advisable to craft a comprehensive ...

Optical circuit enables new approach to quantum technologies

2011-06-25

Professor Jeremy O'Brien, Director of the University of Bristol's Centre for Quantum Photonics, and his Japanese colleagues have demonstrated a quantum logic gate acting on four particles of light – photons. The researchers believe their device could provide important routes to new quantum technologies, including secure communication, precision measurement, and ultimately a quantum computer—a powerful type of computer that uses quantum bits (qubits) rather than the conventional bits used in today's computers. Unlike conventional bits or transistors, which can be in one ...

Mantis shrimp eye could improve high-definition CDs, DVDs

2011-06-25

The eye of the peacock mantis shrimp has led an international team of researchers to develop a two-part waveplate that could improve CD, DVD, blu-ray and holographic technology, creating even higher definition and larger storage density. Peacock mantis shrimp are one of only a few animal species that can see circularly polarized light -- like the light used to create 3-D movies. Some researchers believe the mantis shrimp's eyes are better over the entire visual spectrum than any man-made waveplates. A waveplate is a transparent slab that can alter the polarization of ...
