HONG KONG, March 29, 2013 (Press-News.org) Yeloworld has launched an Indiegogo campaign (http://www.igg.me/at/yelworld) today in order to put its smart low-cost calling App into the hands of 100,000 smartphone users by June. Yeloworld is able to offer rates up to 90% cheaper than SkypeOut in some destinations, making it a great alternative for international calling and roaming in over 200 countries.
Yeloworld targets Indiegogo contributors, who have experienced high telephone bills and wondered why you have to pay a fortune when calling overseas or when travelling. Yeloworld gives away calling minutes in return for an Indiegogo contribution, contributors will enjoy all the benefits of the Yeloworld low cost calling service while helping Yeloworld expand.
The company had a flying start since the launch of its first suite of calling Apps for iPhone, iPad and Android in January 2013. It has already passed the first milestone of 10,000 downloads and continues to challenge the big mobile operators: Vodafone, Verizon, AT&T and others and established challengers: SkypeOut, Google Voice, Rebtel with significantly lower rates to mobile numbers.
Yeloworld was founded by a team of technology entrepreneurs with a track record of successful products and services in the mobile space. The team has used this experience and knowledge to create an attractive proposition to mobile users, who regularly call international, or travel and were - until now - struggling to reduce their phone bill costs while roaming.
The company now wants to launch the Apps for Blackberry and Windows Mobile to increase its reach of smartphone users and attract 100,000 users by June.
"Our team has worked very hard to get this far without external investment by bootstrapping as much as possible. We decided that crowdfunding is the most appropriate option to fulfill our immediate need while we continue to build momentum" said Philippe Joly, co-founder of Yeloworld

Admiral Reveals the UK's In-car Eating Habits
2013-03-29
Admiral research has revealed two thirds of motorists eat when behind the wheel despite most drivers thinking it's dangerous and should be illegal. Almost one in six (15%) motorists have also crashed or had a near miss as a result of in-car eating.
The survey of 2,000 motorists by Admiral has shown that while two thirds of drivers have eaten when driving, for one in twelve it's commonplace with them doing so between five and ten times a week.
Admiral's study also revealed three quarters (77%) of British motorists believe eating when driving is dangerous and more than ...
Does it Really Matter if I Use Proper Grammar or Not? Prompt Proofing Answers
2013-03-29
To be blunt about it: yes.
This article from Yahoo Finance reports that a Grammarly research study revealed that the quality of people's grammar has a strong correlation with their income level. In short, if you have good grammar, you are likely to earn more.
They found that not only do professionals with fewer grammar errors in their LinkedIn profiles hold higher positions, but there was also a correlation between grammar errors and promotions - those professionals with fewer errors were receiving more promotions.
As the article states, there are a number of reasons ...
America: Time to shake the salt habit?
2013-03-28
The love affair between U.S. residents and salt is making us sick: high sodium intake increases blood pressure, and leads to higher rates of heart attack and strokes. Nonetheless, Americans continue to ingest far higher amounts of sodium than those recommended by physicians and national guidelines.
A balanced review of the relevant literature has been published in the March 27, 2013 edition of The New England Journal of Medicine. Theodore A. Kotchen, M.D., professor of medicine (endocrinology), and associate dean for clinical research at the Medical College of Wisconsin, ...
How herpesvirus invades nervous system
2013-03-28
(Chicago) – Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified a component of the herpesvirus that "hijacks" machinery inside human cells, allowing the virus to rapidly and successfully invade the nervous system upon initial exposure.
Led by Gregory Smith, associate professor in immunology and microbiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, researchers found that viral protein 1-2, or VP1/2, allows the herpesvirus to interact with cellular motors, known as dynein. Once the protein has overtaken this motor, the virus can speed along intercellular highways, ...
HIV antibodies that are worth the wait
2013-03-28
An effective vaccine against HIV-1 remains elusive, but one promising strategy focuses on designer antibodies that have much broader potency than most normal, exquisitely specific antibodies. These broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) can handle the high mutation rate of HIV particles that makes normal, very specific antibodies useless within a short space of time. A study published by Cell Press on March 28th in the journal Cell reveals surprising mutations in these antibodies that are crucial for strong protection against HIV-1. The findings could guide efforts to ...
In solving social dilemmas, vervet monkeys get by with a little patience
2013-03-28
People could learn a lot from vervet monkeys. When vervets need to work together, they don't tell each other what to do or punish uncooperative behavior. But according to evidence reported on March 28 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology, they do get by, with a little patience.
"The vervets show us that tolerance towards group members and patience while others are learning how they can improve things individually can go a long way in solving coordination problems," said Ronald Noë of Université de Strasbourg in France.
In the study, the researchers had groups of ...
Sustainable fishing practices produce local rewards
2013-03-28
Communities that act locally to limit their fish catches will reap the rewards of their action, as will their neighbors. That's the conclusion of a study reported on March 28 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology of the highly sought-after fish known as squaretail coral grouper living in five community-owned reef systems in Papua New Guinea.
"We found that many larvae that were produced by the managed adults return to that same fish population, which means that the same fishers that agree to regulate their catch benefit from their actions," said Glenn Almany of the ...
Opposites attract: How cells and cell fragments move in electric fields
2013-03-28
VIDEO:
These fish cells crawl towards the negative electrode, or cathode, and change direction when the electric field is reversed. Electric fields may recruit or guide cells into wounded tissue.
Click here for more information.
Like tiny crawling compass needles, whole living cells and cell fragments orient and move in response to electric fields — but in opposite directions, scientists at the University of California, Davis, have found. Their results, published April 8 in ...
UMMS scientists tie dietary influences to changes in gene expression and physiology
2013-03-28
WORCESTER, MA – Sometimes you just can't resist a tiny piece of chocolate cake. Even the most health-conscious eaters find themselves indulging in junk foods from time to time. New research by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) raises the striking possibility that even small amounts of these occasional indulgences may produce significant changes in gene expression that could negatively impact physiology and health.
A pair of papers published in Cell by A.J. Marian Walhout, PhD, co-director of the Program in Systems Biology and professor ...
Hubble observes the hidden depths of Messier 77
2013-03-28
Messier 77 is a galaxy in the constellation of Cetus, some 45 million light-years away from us. Also known as NGC 1068, it is one of the most famous and well-studied galaxies. It is a real star among galaxies, with more papers written about it than many other galaxies put together!
Despite its current fame and striking swirling appearance, the galaxy has been a victim of mistaken identity a couple of times; when it was initially discovered in 1780, the distinction between gas clouds and galaxies was not known, causing finder Pierre Mechain to miss its true nature and ...
