    	<description>If mobile messaging is a key element of your business’s marketing strategy, then you should take time to ensure to double-check that it’s fully GDPR</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mobile messaging can be key element of your business’s marketing strategy as <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://usechalkboard.com/sms-texting-for-small-businesses" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Text message marketing for small businesses</a> have become quite successful and now big names are also using these simple techniques to grab customers. But before you start messaging, you should take time to ensure to double-check that it’s fully GDPR-compliant.</p>
<h2>GDPR: A Brief Explainer</h2>
<p>Launched by the European Union on May 2018, the <strong>General Data Protection Regulation</strong> (or GDPR for short) was a seminal moment in the history of data protection and privacy. If mobile messaging is a key element of your business’s <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/marketing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">marketing strategy</a>, then you should take time to ensure to double-check that it’s fully GDPR-compliant. </p>
<h2> </h2>
<h2>What Does Data Processing Encompass?</h2>
<p>The term data processing is quite broad and encompasses many different activities. The <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/what-constitutes-data-processing_en" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">EU Commission</a> lists a number of examples:</p>
<blockquote>“It includes the collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction of personal data.”</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<h2>Who is Affected By GDPR?</h2>
<p>GDPR must be followed by any organization that processes the data of EU citizens. This wide definition means that it’s not just European businesses that are affected, but rather all businesses that deal with EU citizens. For example, if you own a business that is based in the US you will still have to abide by the rules if you sell to customers in the EU.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2>Find Out More About GDPR &amp; Mobile Messaging</h2>
<p>GDPR puts the onus on organizations to make <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/articles/cost-effective-ways-to-improve-data-security-for-your-business" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data protection</a> a priority.  If you are running a mobile messaging campaign and would like to find out more about how to ensure full GDPR-compliance, then you should read this infographic from Cadoo, you can visit their website <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.cadoo.com/products/cadoo-app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>. This infographic contains a lot of useful information on GDPR and offers guidance on how to boost your data protection credentials. </p>

    	<description>WAF (shortened for Web Application Firewall) protects web applications by monitoring, filtering and blocking potentially harmful traffic and attacks</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Web Applications are very common these days. One cannot host a successful service without running their web application. So-called <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hat_(computer_security)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">black-hat</a>&nbsp;hackers love overtaking these applications and just as we protect ourselves from viruses and bacteria, we have to do the same to our web <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/app" target="_blank">applications</a>.</p><p>Hackers are much more interested in attacking servers than workstations though. This is for quite a few reasons. Firstly, servers are much more powerful, they are running 24/7 and have much better internet bandwidth. So, let’s take a look at <a href="https://www.positivetech-security.com/ww-en/analytics/knowledge-base/kek-waf-web-application-firewall/" target="_blank">what is WAF</a>.</p><p><br></p><h2>What is WAF?</h2><p>WAF (shortened for Web Application Firewall) protects web applications by monitoring, filtering and blocking potentially harmful traffic and attacks that can overtake or exploit them. On an enterprise level, WAFs are deployed to an application or group of applications to provide a layer of protection between the application and the end-users.</p><p>At a very basic level, they apply a set of rules to an HTTP conversation. These rules are generally good against cross-site scripting and <a href="https://www.acunetix.com/websitesecurity/sql-injection/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">SQL Injection</a>, but also cover file inclusion and cross-site forgery. If you are familiar with the proxy concept, which protects the end-user machine’s identity, you could think of WAF as a reverse-proxy. It protects the server from exposure by analyzing clients before passing them through a virtual shield.</p><p>The previously mentioned sets of rules are referred to as policies. These rules filter out malicious traffic. Algorithms which these are running off of are usually pretty quick and take just a few milliseconds to execute.</p><p><br></p><h2>Different WAFs</h2><p>WAFs are split into two categories – ones that operate based on the blacklist and the others that operate based on a whitelist. These are the complete opposites. The ones that operate on blacklist protect the application against known attacks. Whitelist ones do not operate on those only.
</p><p>WAFs do not necessarily have to be implemented using blacklist or whitelist mode only. There are even more different parameters which are important when implementing WAF. One of these is the platform they are running on. It can be either network-based, host-based or cloud-based. There is no perfect solution, but each one brings its advantages and trade-offs.</p><p>A network-based WAF is the rarest one of three. It is generally hardware-based and runs locally, which minimizes the overall latency. Network-based WAF requires physical space, storage, and regular maintenance. They are also the most expensive WAF implementation.</p><p>A host-based can be fully integrated into an application’s software. It is not as expensive as the network-based method and also allows for more customizability. There are some trade-offs one has to make when considering it though. They consume resources of local servers and they are costly to maintain.
Last but not least, is the cloud-based solution. It is affordable and easy to implement. Sometimes, it is as simple as changing DNS to redirect the traffic. They offer updates all the time, which makes it easy to include the latest rules when new threats are discovered.</p><p><br></p><h2>WAF Components</h2><p>WAF applications consist of two key modules – Detection and Protection.
</p><p><strong>Detection</strong> is the starting and probably the most important aspect of a WAF service. It is all about continuous scanning. This process discovers our application’s weaknesses. There are also stages in which our WAF protocol is checking whether some parameters were changed from their default values.
<span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;"><br></span></p><p><strong>Protection</strong> <span style="font-family: Poppins, sans-serif;">consists of DDoS Migration, SSL certificate verification, and platform-specific rules. There is not too much to explain here, as everything is happening in the background. After finishing both the processes, the web application should be protected against all the attacks.</span></p><p><br></p><h3>Final Words</h3><p>WAF may not be the most complex set of tools but for sure does what it promises perfectly. With some tweaking and proper planning, it can help you concentrate on improving user experience, while it completely protects your servers from malicious attacks.</p><p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">Featured image via Hacker Noon</span></em></p>]]></content:encoded>

    	<description>The best opportunity that any startup can get is the possibility of explosive growth, or rather, a combination of a number of circumstances</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/articles/why-do-some-startups-succeed-and-why-not-others" target="_blank">best opportunity that any startup</a><a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/startup" target="_blank">&nbsp;</a>can get is the possibility of explosive growth, or rather, a combination of a number of circumstances that make it possible. Explosive growth requires minimal or even virtual production, for which production facilities are not necessary at all.</p><p>Obviously, it is impossible to do without communication at each stage of the development and launch of a startup. And now we are not talking about marketing communications, but about communication within the team. In this article, we will consider the specifics of the tools for collaboration, determine the most necessary features, and conclude which application is the most convenient for use in a startup.</p><p><br></p><h2>The Main Communication Problem within a Startup</h2><p>As we have already said, any <a href="https://medium.com/@lijiang2087/rule-of-10-how-fast-does-your-startup-need-to-grow-6b43aa4cdeda" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">startup should grow very fast</a>. The costs of internal communication hinder growth. A team of five will already spend too much time communicating with each other. </p><p>In practice (or according to the laws of mathematics), current communication costs increase quadratically to the volume of the team. Between X people, there are X (X -1) / 2 connections, everyone needs to communicate with everyone. Accordingly, a team of two people is always better than a team of three, a team of three is better than four. Of course, provided that they all can do roughly the same thing.</p><p>This approach can be compared with the process of introducing a product into international markets. When a company focuses on two or three markets, it has an effect. Especially if the product and content have been qualitatively translated and localized, for example, using <a href="https://thewordpoint.com/" target="_blank">TheWordPoint.com</a>. But when the coverage area begins to increase, it does not bring the expected result. All according to the Pareto principle.</p><p>Therefore, it is important to find a solution that will not complicate the communication of an expanding team, but rather will make it as quick and effective as possible. Further, we will consider what basic features collaboration applications must have in order to meet this requirement.</p><p><br></p><h2>What Should Be Taken into Account Choosing the Best Group Chat App</h2><p>The main condition for the survival of any startup on the market is the ability to grow rapidly. And this is the ability to grow not only outside (access to new markets), but also inside (expanding the team). </p><p>A “team” of one, as the practice has shown, is bad. The study showed that a startup with one founder becomes successful on average in forty months. And with the two founders, this period is reduced to twenty months.</p><p>Each member of the team still needs an outside view. So an ideal startup team consists of more than two people, while one of them can be a purely technical specialist, and the other must combine technical and business knowledge.</p><p>And if a team is remote, a collaboration tool becomes the only way to communicate. In order for communication to be effective, it is necessary for the group chat app to solve several tasks at once: </p><ul><li>task and time management issues</li><li>tracking work progress</li><li>an ability to quickly ask a question and get an answer</li><li>a possibility to look for an answer before asking the question (in the history of correspondence or completed tasks)</li><li>technical opportunities for group calls, file sharing, etc. </li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Main Features to Be Present in a Group Chat App for the Most Effective Collaboration</h2><p>Here is the list of the most necessary collaboration tool features that are able to make communication and joint work as efficient as possible. </p><ul><li>Instant messaging</li><li>Voice and video calls</li><li>Task management board</li><li>Calendar</li><li>Conferences</li><li>Screen and files sharing</li><li>It should be low-cost or free. </li></ul><p><br></p><h2>List of Tools to Choose from</h2><p><br></p><h2>Google Hangouts Chat</h2>
<p class="text-center">

</p>
<p>This is a service that allows you to conduct personal correspondence and jointly work on projects equally successfully.</p><p>Interface Features:</p><ul><li>Search for contacts is simple and convenient. Some of them are automatically added from Google+.</li><li>The messenger shows a list of dialogs, each of which has a unique name, emoticon or avatar.</li><li>Each dialogue, in fact, is a mini-chat that can be turned into a conference.</li><li>Once you add a user to the chat, you cannot delete it. It will be necessary to delete the entire dialogue and then create it again without unnecessary contact.</li><li>The application provides that each dialogue can become a video call (up to 30 participants).</li><li>GIF animation and photo editing are supported. There are many filters to choose from, with which you can make any image unique</li></ul><p>The <a href="https://hangouts.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Hangouts</a>&nbsp;software product has a number of advantages that make it popular:</p><ul><li>Easy installation and working interface of the program.</li><li>Quick and easy setup.</li><li>Secure cloud technology.</li><li>Cross-platformity - the program works on all devices.</li><li>Basic functionality is free, except for calls to some numbers.</li><li>The project’s business orientation, which allows startup creators and team members to use the capabilities of Hangouts for corporate purposes.</li></ul><p>To make the <a href="https://blog.proofhub.com/https-blog-proofhub-com-steps-to-streamline-work-process-and-improve-workflow-be7371841008" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">workflow more efficient</a>, the service uses the capabilities of artificial intelligence. There are 25 bots available on Hangouts Chat to help improve your workflow. The @Drive bot, for example, tells you when you were added to a file or when someone asks for access to your documents. And the @Meet bot integrated with the calendar helps you plan your meetings.</p><p><br></p><h2>Slack
</h2>
<p class="text-center">
	<amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/403553-slack-chat.jpg" layout="responsive" height="900" width="1600" alt="Slack"></amp-img>
	<small>Source: Pexels.com</small>
</p>
<p>The program positions itself as a "corporate messenger" and "a killer of Skype and corporate mail." According to company statistics, 10 million people use Slack daily.</p><p>There are main features of the program functionality:</p><ul><li>There are three tariff plans for the user to choose from: paid, free, and advanced. The free version has restrictions, for example, on downloading files (5 gigabytes) and the number of services connected to the application (5 pieces). In the free version, the search is carried out only on the last 10 thousand messages. The paid version costs about seven dollars a month.</li><li>At the heart of the work are Slack channels. Each channel is a separate chat. It is created for a separate topic. This is very convenient for the company and perfectly allows you to cooperate with the work of different departments in one messenger.</li><li>But! One of the disadvantages of channeling is that the user must be in certain channels in order to see the correspondence. After the visitor enters the channel, the entire message history becomes available.</li><li>The system loads links and pictures into the chat with a small preview as in social applications.</li><li>Slack is integrated with a large number of extraneous services, such as Dropbox, etc.</li><li>Reviews of regular users are mostly positive because the application consumes the battery of devices much less than analogs.</li><li>Slack has a special web version for Android and iOS.There is support for two-factor authentication, it works conveniently for mobile devices.</li><li>Messages are stored on separate servers, that is, users can always access them.</li><li>Slack provides a convenient search system for messages and documents.</li><li>The system also has special push notifications that are quite functional and easy to use.</li><li>A convenient file sharing function for users, however, the file size varies depending on the tariff plan.</li><li>Slack offers statistics on the use of the application for users, which is quite convenient.</li><li>Among the shortcomings of the system, it should be noted that Slack does not support calls and video calls. It allows you to only exchange messages.</li></ul><p>However, <a href="https://slack.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Slack</a>&nbsp;allows the user to be much less distracted and more focused on tasks. All typical questions can be asked to the chatbot, which in this service does its job perfectly.</p><p><br></p><h2>Chatwork</h2> 

<p class="text-center">
	<amp-img src="https://kenkarlo.com/assets/images/blog/632253-chatwork.png" layout="responsive" height="319" width="647" alt="Chatwork"></amp-img>
	<small>Source: Pexels.com</small></p><p>In general, <a href="https://go.chatwork.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this application</a>&nbsp;also has all the necessary functions for collaboration. You can use basic tools for free. These are functions such as</p><ul><li>Task, contact and project management</li><li>Screen sharing</li><li>Video conferencing</li><li>The ability to access from any device.</li></ul><p>According to user reviews, notifications from the application can sometimes come with a delay.</p><p>This is a very simple application that is suitable at the initial stage of the development of the team. Teams up to five people can perfectly manage all the available functionality. In other words, this is a good option to start, but in the future, most likely, you will want to start using something more powerful. </p><p><br></p><h2>Glip</h2><p>This platform focuses on organizing an optimal workflow. The task and its successful implementation are in the spotlight.</p><p>The system can be used as a knowledge base of the company and a messenger for the operational solution of business issues. It integrates with email, which allows you to collaborate with people using various project management applications.</p><p>To combine remote teams, text chat, the ability to send voice messages and organize a video conference in real-time are presented. The software provides unlimited cloud storage, in addition, the administrator can set the time frame for tasks, appoint responsible employees and restrict access rights.</p><p>At any time during the session, you can share a screen with your interlocutors, and the team’s calendar and news alerts will help each employee stay updated. In addition, a participant can upload third-party files and contacts from other services and databases to <a href="https://glip.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Glip</a>.</p><p>Glip features include:</p><ul><li>An unlimited number of colleagues.</li><li>Guest users.Teams and projects.</li><li>Team calendars.</li><li>Sync with Outlook, iCal, and GCal.</li><li>Notes.Collaborative editing of documents.</li><li>Customizable push notifications and email.</li><li>Mail attachments.Link sharing and archiving.</li><li>File sharing</li><li>Integration with Dropbox and GDrive.</li></ul><p><br></p><h2>Stride</h2><p>Stride will help users solve three main problems:</p><ul><li>a huge number of collaboration programs and notifications,l</li><li>ack of real communication effect</li><li>lack of clear meeting results.</li></ul><p>Stride copes with all three problems, combining all communication channels in one solution. It has features for audio and video calls, messaging and joint tasks management.</p><p>Stride also takes instant messaging / presence status to a new level. You can leave the conversation by placing yourself in a “concentration mode” that has many more options than the typical “do not disturb” mode. The “Concentration Mode” provides other users with information about what you are working on and when you are free. You can always return to your usual rhythm with the help of special alerts that will quickly bring you up to date.</p><p>You can connect instant voice and video conferencing, share the screen with the interlocutors, and mark discussions and dialogs as resolved. The service allows you to record meetings and store message history. Functions for managing users and remote desktop, adding bots and applications, as well as setting file permissions are available.</p><p><br></p><h2>Conclusion - What Is the Best One </h2><p>In our humble opinion, Glip proved to be the richest with the necessary functions program. While other developers are either focusing on communications or task management, Glip has combined both of these functions on the same platform. And it is already impossible to say that the functionality for communication has suffered because of the functionality for task management and planning.</p><p><em><span style="font-size: 12px;">Featured image via Pexels.com</span></em></p>]]></content:encoded>

    	<description>By partnering yourself with such an enterprise, you can take the first step in creating a fantasy football application that leaves your customers want</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bringing all these facts together, it is evident that fantasy American football is nothing less than a lucrative and promising business opportunity.&nbsp;Some sports claim their fame in their fan-bases spread across the globe. Unlike those global-fan-sports, some of them find their fame in the specific country or continent that they are confined to. If that specific area of focus opens an avenue might mean a lucrative business in another parallel field, it makes sense to focus on that area to maximize your profits.</p><p>American fantasy football could be stated as an apt example for the above scenario. There might not be many nations that might even recognize the sport, but the fan-craze in the US is more than enough to make a fortune out of fantasy leagues. </p><p>The NFL has&nbsp;<a href="https://www.pledgesports.org/2017/03/top-10-most-watched-sports/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">400 million fans</a> around the world and it rakes in a whopping 13.68 billion dollars in revenue. There are 16 million fantasy football players in the United States and Canada alone. The Fantasy Sports Trade Association (FSTA) is estimated to have a market value of 7.22 billion dollars.</p><p>The revenue of the NFL is expected to reach 28 billion dollars by 2029. With more than 24 million followers on Twitter, 14 million followers on Instagram, and 17 million followers on Facebook, the NFL is among the top sports influencers on social media.</p><p><br></p><h2>What is Fantasy football and Why Fantasy Football?</h2><p>Fantasy football, or any other fantasy sport for that matter, is a virtual game that is played by users by using an online platform or mobile application. The users of the application can create their own fantasy team comprising of real players. The points accumulated are based on the actual performance of the fantasy team players in the real game.</p><p>The user whose team accumulates the highest amount of points is declared the winner. It is evident that winning and the gameplay in fantasy football are fuelled by actual football. The increasing number of fans, the global reach, and above everything, the desire of fans and users to win real cash prizes fuels the growth of fantasy football.</p><p>Fantasy football makes the user feel more connected to the game. Since every move translates into winnings for them, it increases the intensity of engagement for the fans. Fantasy sports provide an opportunity for the fans to win monetary rewards, and for the fantasy sports enthusiasts to delve deeper into the nuances of the game.</p><p><br></p><h2>How it all works?</h2>

</p>

<p>To start with, the user has to download the application. In most cases, the download is free. The users can sign up with their email address or mobile number or social media account.</p><p>The user also has the option to use a referral code during sign up. The referral code entitles the referrer some credits.</p><p>The user has to enter a league to start playing. There are different kinds of leagues - Private League, Public League, and Premier League. A private league is created by users to play with their social circles. The public leagues are free to enter and do not have any cash prizes. The Premier Leagues, on the other hand, have an entry fee and entitles the user to win cash prizes based on the entry fee.</p><p>Once a user enters a league, he/she has to create a team. The user is given a budget of hundred million dollars and each player has a price tag. The user has to build their team within the budget.</p><p>The user can make as many changes as he/she wants to the team until the lock-in period. Once the lock-in period is over, no changes can be done to the team unless there are special permissions and upgrades.</p><p>As soon as the match starts, the user can view the match and the scorecard. This will help them analyze the performance of the team and their fantasy players. The actual performance of the players determines the winning or losing of the fantasy team user.</p><p>Once the match is over, points are distributed between the players in line with their performance in the actual game. The user whose team players have accumulated the highest points is considered the winner.</p><p><br></p><h2>The Business Opportunity</h2><p>The astounding fan following of the sport in the USA and Canada and the growth of the sport worldwide opens business opportunities for you to create your own fantasy American football app.</p><p>Major fantasy football platforms in 2018 generated more than 750 million in revenue by just accounting the entry fees. Given the global reach and the craze of the fans that never seems to attenuate, fantasy football still has a lot of profits to unearth.&nbsp;</p><p>It is not only the entry fees but also the advertisements,&nbsp; the in-app purchases and the selling of merchandise that can bring in the revenue for your business.</p><p>For a fantasy sports application, the magnitude of revenue lies in the number of active users participating in the Premier League. Since the users do not have a problem in shelling out a negligible amount of money for the big bash prices that they might win, the fantasy American football app is surely poised to grow bigger and better. The bigger the growth, the greater the revenue!</p><p><br></p><h2>Essential Features of the Fantasy American Football App</h2><p>Any fantasy sports app like this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.inoru.com/fantasy-sports-app-development" target="_blank">website</a> needs to have both the user interface and the administrator interface. The features that face a user are required to be more intuitive and interactive whereas the administrator features are supposed to be utilitarian.</p><p><strong>Features of the User-Facing Application</strong></p><ul><li>As soon as the user signs in, they should be taken to the home screen where all the essential information is displayed. The information includes necessary shortcuts, updates, and news. The home screen should be so intuitive that it should facilitate navigation to any part of the application from there.</li><li>The user profile should contain all information about the fantasy-football career of the user. The total matches played, the joined and created leagues, the accumulated awards, and the social circles should be a part of the profile.</li><li>Information about American football players should be made available on the application. This helps users to make calculated decisions when forming their fantasy team.</li><li>The application should facilitate joining and creating leagues. Once a user joins the league, they should be able to create a fantasy team.&nbsp;</li><li>Football news and updates should be made available. It not only helps users be updated about the players but also helps them stay hooked to the app for reasons other than fantasy football. Having a live scoreboard or match live streaming could add to the engagement quotient of the application.</li><li>The eWallet should be integrated with mainstream banking systems to quickly realize the cash prizes that the users have won.</li></ul><p><strong>Features for an administrator:</strong></p><ul><li>The administrator should have dedicated role-based dashboards that give them the essential information based on their administrative status.</li><li>The administrator should be able to view the earnings of the application and the users. This helps administrators understand the intensity of participation and the spending patterns of the users.</li><li>There might be instances when users exhibit anomalous or malicious behavior. In these circumstances, the administrator should have the power to disable or suspend users.</li><li>The administrator should be able to control the private and public leagues. They should constantly check for potential policy violations.</li><li>The administrator should manage the cash prizes and distribution.</li><li>They should also have the powers or rather the responsibility to manage the content and customer relationship.</li><li>Constantly tracking bank transactions and keeping a tab on the reward points will ensure that the app is clean and free from legal violations. The administrator should take responsibility for these aspects.</li></ul><p><br></p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>A fantasy American <a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/app" target="_blank">football application</a> is a convergence of impeccable program management, flawless coding in the development of the application, a seamless user interface, and robust backend management.</p><p>To be a part of this fledgling industry, get in touch with a competent fantasy application developer who understands the marketplace and can equip you with the tools you need to succeed. By partnering yourself with such an enterprise, you can take the first step in creating a fantasy football application that leaves your customers wanting more.</p>]]></content:encoded>

        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Google released it's new video app named&nbsp;<a href="https://tangi.co/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tangi</a> a video app focusing in short videos - DIY. The Video app was&nbsp;built by a Google team in its <a href="https://area120.google.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Area 120</a>, a workshop for experimental products. </p><p>It's a searchable library of  videos that inspire people to 
try any creative projects in kind of arts, cooking, fashion, beauty, and 
other lifestyle you want to share. You might even say it's a clone of the <a href="https://pinterest.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pinterest</a> app.</p><p>The difference among other DIY short-video social media apps is the 60 second videos to help&nbsp;creators try something new&nbsp; and its "Try It" feature.&nbsp;
 “Try It” is a way for anyone to share re-creations of videos they're doing, and it's a great way to interact with other community members - between the Tangi creators 
and their fans.</p>

    	<description>Apart from the common chat features like reality masks and emoticons, Messenger Kids also has a plethora of other great features</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>An App in Its Own Right</h2><p>As Facebook is taking over the world, it has decided to let kids join in the fun by introducing Messenger Kids. Like&nbsp;<a href="https://kenkarlo.com/tags/messenger" target="_blank">Facebook Messenger</a> itself, parents download this application into their child’s phone or tablet.</p><p>Thereafter, they go on to create the child’s profile and then approve of the family or friends that can communicate with the child. But, Messenger Kids only favors children who are thirteen years of age and below.</p><p>Needless to say, ‘tweens’ do not need a Facebook account, thus a messenger account makes for easy and convenient communication.</p><h2>The Great Features</h2><p>Apart from the common chat features like reality masks and emoticons, Messenger Kids also has a plethora of other great features that include: </p><ul><li><strong>Safety filters</strong> -&nbsp;<span>As this application creates a safe chat
environment for kids, it comes with safety filters that flag inappropriate
content like nudity or violence. Parents are also notified whenever their child

    	<description>One problem with the habit trackers is that there are so many of them, and not all of them will help you in the best way. ThesisHelpers will give you the best habit tr</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is hard to build good habits and also break the bad ones. The process requires reshaping behavior and resisting the natural patterns of everyday life. This process can be made easier by using a habit tracking application. The applications we won't because they will give you a representation of the progress and let you see how you continue down the habit, and after you see how your progress evolves, you will most likely stick to the habit. One problem with the habit trackers is that there are so many of them, and not all of them will help you in the best way. </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.thesishelpers.com/thesis-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ThesisHelpers</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> will give you the best habit tracking applications. </span></p>

If you fail to commit to your habits, both you and your character will suffer and risk damaging the entire party in a quest or a boss fight if any individual in the party fails to adhere to their habits.

<h2>Habitify</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The application is well designed and very simple, and it also boasts an attractive interface video.

The application also comes with a dark mode that will help you avoid straining your eyes, and it also has a lot of chats and graphs that can help you monitor your habit progress. </span></p>
<h2>Strides</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is an application that offers one of several ways of tracking their different types of habits. It is much similar to Habitify and features a professional and clean UI which is great to use. It also shares the same tracking functionality with ability. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It stands apart from the latter because of all the ways that it will let you track and set up your habits. If you are beginning to use the app, you can set your own goals, which are grouped into challenges lasting for 30 days, and there are other habit goals that you can find within the application. You also have the option of setting a habit goal either as a yes or no. If you feel like doing something repeatedly, the application will let you set a quantity for your goals. For example, you can set a goal to perform at least 30 pushups every morning or consume 2 liters of water every day. </span></p>
<h2>Coach.me </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a habit tracking app that will give you access to some of the professional coaches available and join you together with a supportive community. The purpose of tracking habits is one of the most effective ways to develop new ones, but you may find yourself needing extra motivation at given times. If you don't want to go through the road alone, then this is the app suitable for you. The application lets you balance and check your habits as you complete them. The best value lies in the coaching and community aspects that the application comes with. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a great venture for the community features because you add to your list for any habit. You will most likely find a discussion thread connecting you with other users on the same application. In the community, you can share your ideas of how you do your habit and get encouragement and support whenever you feel like you are struggling. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you're looking for personalized support, you can peruse the app and find the coaching section. In that section, you can find affordable coaching that will go in line with any habit that you desire.

    	<description>We think that Invideo is the best video editor online that can kick start your vlogging, YouTuber, and social media influencer career. </description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are tons of video editing software that you can use to edit your videos and make them look professional. But a lot of them are paid, but what if we told you that on the internet, some online video makers let you upload your videos and allow you to make professional-grade edits to them. We think that Invideo is the best </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://invideo.io/make/online-video-editor/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Online Video Editor</a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> online that can kick start your <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/vlogging" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">vlogging</a>, YouTuber, and <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/social-media" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">social media</a> influencer career. </span></p>
<ol start="1">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>InVideo Online Video Editing Software </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We will start our list with one of the most advanced online video editing software that is InVideo. Once you log in to the InVideo homepage, you can start uploading your video or making a completely new one from scratch based on the company's templates. </span><a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://invideo.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Invideo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was released in 2019 as an online video maker and quickly gained its fame due to its extensive library of pre-made templates. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It makes it possible for a user to create videos with simple drag and drop options. You can export out 60 videos in a month; that's two videos each day. But the actual use of Invideo is hidden in its premium features, making it possible for users to do voiceovers on their video.</span></p>
<ol start="2">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>OpenShot </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OpenShot is an offline free video maker tool used in Windows, Mac, and even Linux operating systems. It offers unlimited tracks and layers which can be used in making videos. Moreover, you are getting 3D animated titles that users can insert at the beginning of their videos to make them look attractive. OpenShot can do a lot of video editing work such as resize, scale up or down, trim, snap, and rotate your video while showing you the real-time preview of your video. The issue with OpenShot is that we have seen some lag during our usage. Likewise, it has multiple layers of setup, which seems to be a tedious task on its own. </span></p>
<ol start="3">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>Final Cut Pro X </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There's no doubt about Apple upgrading Final Cut Pro to become one of the best video maker programs. Thus, it is one of the top competitors in our list of best video editing software. But to use Final Cut Pro, you need to have an Apple computer which is pretty expensive in the first place. So instead, a three-pane view designs the user interface with a trackless, magnetic timeline made to be used with a dual monitor configuration optimally. </span></p>
<ol start="4">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>Corel Video Studio </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Suppose you are looking for a video maker who can help you turn your regular photos into a movie. In that case, Corel Video Studio is a video editing software made just for you. It comes with 1500+ filters, transitions, title presets, and project templates etc. </span></p>
<ol start="5">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>EaseUS Video Editor </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Last on our list is a company formed in 2004, but recently they have stepped into the video maker software market. Their software has quickly placed itself in the recommendation list of top video creators and editors due to the simplicity of its interface. It offers all the essential video editing tools and plugins that you want, along with 50 built-in transitions. You can download it for free and use it to edit your videos on your desktop.  </span></p>
<ol start="6">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>Apple iMovie </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">iMovie comes with high-fidelity filters, which are some of the most iconic in video editing. On the other hand, if you are shooting a video from an Apple device, you can AirDrop the file wirelessly and effortlessly transfer your project to your Mac. Also, you can try iMovie for free, and there are no account creation or video exporting chargers. All you need to have is a Mac OS supporting system. </span></p>
<ol start="7">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>Nero Video </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nero has all the video editing capabilities which one is looking for in video editing software, from text editing to 3D animation; you can do anything with your video using Nero. Moreover, it is one of the few video makers which allows you to easily export videos in 4k and a 360-degree video with ease. </span></p>
<ol start="8">
<li aria-level="1">
<h3>Filmora From Wondershare </h3>
</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One thing which makes Filmora great is the title tools that come with it. The title tool has some great features that make your video look more attractive and focus on the viewer's attention. In addition, the “Easy Mode” allows you to create fun and polished videos from scratch using drag and drop features. </span></p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The list given above is entirely unbiased, and we have found this editing software from thorough research done on the internet. Moreover, each of these software has its own sets of benefits which a user can easily enjoy when editing videos in them. Thus, this list could be pretty handy for both beginners and experts in video editing. </span></p>]]></content:encoded>

    	<description>So, let’s move on to get a better grasp of secure messaging apps.</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It was just a day or two ago that <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Facebook" href="/tags/facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Facebook</a> CEO Mark Zuckerberg declared that his team has added another layer of <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Privacy" href="/tags/privacy" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">privacy</a> and <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Security" href="/tags/security" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"> security</a> to WhatsApp thereby making it a  highly scalable end-to-end encrypted messaging service platform. With such news coming your way and your retrospective knowledge of the fact that your privacy is often breached, you would like to settle for a highly secure messaging app wherein the information shared is read by none except the intended recipient. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">So, let’s move on to get a better grasp of secure messaging apps.</span></p>
<h2>Things to Consider When Selecting a Secure App Messaging Service </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">When choosing between different messaging services, one must emphasize three essential features such as end-to-end encryption, multi-mode communication, and synchronization across different devices or platforms. If there’s more to this by way of additional features then that would certainly be an app to look out for, in the current age of internet surveillance and advanced technologies.   </span></p>
<table class="table table-bordered">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<p><strong>Essential Features </strong></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><strong>Additional Features (Good-To-Have)  </strong></p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">End-to-End Encryption, Multi-Mode Communication, and Synchronization Across Different Platforms or Devices  </span></p>
</td>
<td>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Open Source, Messages That Can be Self-Destructing After a Time-Frame,  </span></p>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<h2>Explained: What Secure Messaging Really Is?<span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If your message can neither be opened by your service provider on their server nor be opened by any government agency or third party, rest assured, your message is completely secure and encrypted end-to-end. Secondly, if you can send the message via multiple modes such as text, audio, and video and then deletable by the user, it’s a secure messaging service. Finally, your messaging is secure if it can be synced across different platforms such as the web, mobile, or desktop and at the same time be deleted from one platform while stored on another. </span></p>
<h2>End-to-End Encryption </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is a method by which a message gets encrypted from the time it gets typed by the sender in any secure app to the time it gets delivered -- a perfectly safe and secure method. Such a message only gets decrypted through a locally stored code and no authority or entity other than the reader of the message can view it.   </span></p>
<h2>Variable-mode Communication </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A platform is considered to offer variable-mode communication if a user can send messages in more than just text format, that is, in audio and video formats as well. A messaging app with such an option also allows the user to delete a message that comes his/her way.   </span></p>
<h2>Synchronization Across Multiple Platforms </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A messaging app that allows for messages to be sent across many different platforms such as the web, mobile, or desktop and where the user can also store the message on one platform while delete on the other is considered as a completely private, safe, and secure platform. </span></p>
<h2>The Top 10 Secure Messaging Apps </h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are several options available when it comes to choosing any secure messaging app. But, how do you choose one that is dedicated to ensuring complete data privacy and confidentiality? By all means, a messaging app is secure and confidential if it provides for end-to-end encryption, variable-mode communication (text, audio, and video), and synchronization across multiple platforms/devices. Needless to say, the latest privacy labels in such encrypted messaging apps also tell you how much data is being used by those apps at any particular point in time.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If privacy is your utmost priority, then, you should read about the following ten most reliable secure messaging apps and make a choice that appeals to you the most. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Now that you have gone through all the above 10 choices, you would ask which is the best one. Read on to know more...   </span></p>
<h2>Most Secure Messaging App</h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Though all the apps are good, careful consideration of their features, policies, and origin assures you that Signal is the most secure and reliable messaging app. One of the other reasons for that is - it is funded by donations and grants and not by the corporate houses. Additionally, it is 100% open-source and brought into existence by Open Whisper Systems - a community of internal and external experts and cryptographers dedicated to users’ privacy and security. What can be more awakening than to know that most of the well-known messaging apps such as Wire, WhatsApp, Facebook, and Skype make use of its messaging protocol for security?  </span></p>

    	<description>If you're looking for a way to track someone's location, look no further than Google Maps. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Read on to learn more!</description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today's connected world, it's easy to take the ability to <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://north-app.com/how-to-track-phone-numbers-in-the-philippines/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">track someone's location</a> for granted. Whether you're trying to meet up with a friend in a crowded city or keeping tabs on a loved one while traveling, finding someone's location via their smartphone is incredibly useful.</p>
<p>And thanks to the power of Google Maps, it's also relatively simple to do. This blog post will show you how to find someone's location on Google Maps in a few quick and easy steps.</p>
<h2>Five Steps to Find Someone's Location </h2>
<p>Imagine: It's a Saturday night, and you're trying to meet up with your friends at a crowded bar. You could spend 20 minutes on the phone giving them turn-by-turn directions, or you could simply open up Google Maps, type in the address of the bar, and hit the "share" button.</p>
<p>Once you do that, your friends will get a notification on their phone with your location and can follow the map to meet up with you.</p>
<p>Here are five steps to find someone's location on Google Maps:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Open the Google Maps app on your smartphone or tablet. If you don't have the app installed, you can download it for free from the App Store or Google Play Store.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong> In the top-right corner of the screen, tap on your profile picture. This will bring up a menu with several options.</p>
<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Select "Location sharing."</p>
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong> Choose the person you want to share your location with from the contacts list.</p>
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong> Click on the entry for that person. The app will display a map showing their current location.</p>
<p>And that's all there is to it! By following these simple steps, you'll be able to track someone's location via their smartphone using Google Maps.</p>
<p>[Location services must be turned on for this feature to work.]</p>
<h2>How to Share Your Location Using Google Maps</h2>
<p>Now that you know how to track someone's location using Google Maps, you might wonder how to share your location with others. The process is just as simple:</p>
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong> Open the Google Maps app on your smartphone.</p>
<p><strong>Step 2</strong>: Go to the side menu and select "Location sharing." -&gt; "Share location"</p>
<p><strong>Step 3: </strong>Determine how long and with whom you want to share your location. You can share your position with specific people or make it public.</p>
<p>Beware that sharing your location publicly could lead to strangers tracking you, so only do this if you're comfortable with that. How is it possible?</p>
<p>When you share your location with someone on Google Maps, you send a link to your location via email, text message, or another app. So naturally, if that person decides to share that link with someone else, that second person can also see your location.</p>
<h2>Location Sharing: Do and Do Not's</h2>
<p>There are a few things you should and shouldn't do to stay safe while sharing your location :</p>
<p>-<strong>Use a trusted location-sharing app like Google Maps</strong>. Not all tracking apps are created equal, and some may not have the same privacy features as others.</p>
<p>-<strong>Turn off location sharing when you're not using it.</strong> If you don't need to share your location with anyone, there's no reason to have it turned on.</p>
<p>-<strong>Keep your software up to date.</strong> Location-sharing apps typically release updates that include new privacy features and security fixes. If you make sure you have the most recent version of the app, you can use these new features and be sure that your data is as safe as possible.</p>
<p>-<strong>Use a private messaging app</strong>. When sharing your location with just a few people, it's best to use a private messaging app like WhatsApp or Signal. These apps encrypt your messages, meaning only the intended recipient can read them.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Whether you're trying to meet up with a friend in a crowded city or keep tabs on a loved one while they travel, finding someone's location via their smartphone is incredibly useful. And thanks to the power of Google Maps, it's also relatively simple. Just follow the steps outlined in this blog post, and you'll be able to track anyone's location in no time!</p>

    	<description>Blockchain technology is a decentralized, distributed ledger that maintains a record of economic transactions over a network of computers or nodes.  I've attached the </description>
        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since the first public <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Blockchain" href="/tags/blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Blockchain</a> allowed bitcoin transactions, Blockchain technology has made significant progress towards improving the business process across a vast range of <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://otwosoft.com/mobile-app-development-company-in-london.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">App Developers UK </a>industries. In all the excitement surrounding blockchain technology, the question of utilising Blockchain within mobile apps gets a lot of interest.</p>
<p>We get many inquiries from our partners, who are eager to use this tech's full potential. We'll look at some of the benefits and disadvantages of using blockchain technology in the mobile market.</p>
<h2>What's unique about Blockchain?</h2>
<p>In short, Blockchain is a distributed digital ledger allowing data to be automatically replicated among independent nodes. All nodes are equally part of a consensus verification process on each node before new data blocks are added to the chain.</p>
<p>This absence of central oversight has made the Blockchain extremely profitable. In instances where there's no trust between people, Blockchain is the perfect solution to store an unbeatable, secure record of all transactions, which are easily accessible and auditable by all parties.</p>
<h2>Blockchain's Application to Mobile App Development:</h2>
<p>Blockchain technology is steadily impacting the development of the mobile apps sector. Many industries are embracing it to guarantee a safe environment, provide secure access to your data, and provide security and transparency for payments.</p>
<p>Blockchain mobile applications have already revolutionized the world of industries such as Finance and Banking, Insurance, Healthcare, <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/scm.asp" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">Supply Chain Management</a>, and <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  href="/tags/IoT" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">IoT</a>.</p>
<p>It's typical in the financial and insurance industries to have multiple signatures on different documents or contracts. In this scenario, blockchain-based applications confidently allow an essential database to be used. Additionally, they provide safe access for many users.</p>
<p><amp-img layout="responsive"  src="/assets/images/blog/139512-pro-cons.webp" alt="pros and cons" width="425" height="313" ></amp-img></p>
<h2>Pros and Cons and Blockchain for Mobile Application Development:</h2>
<p>A recent survey on Blockchain by Deloitte across seven countries shows that half of the respondents (1000plus businesses) intend to invest between 1 and 10 million dollars on blockchain solutions this year.</p>
<p>Let's examine the benefits of this explosive technology that businesses who invest in Blockchain are betting on.</p>
<h3>Distributed:</h3>
<p>As we've previously discussed that a blockchain is an open ledger. This means that to function, it relies on several independent nodes and does not require a dedicated central server or authority. The nodes manage the transactions, and there are no middlemen needed.</p>
<p>The result is that businesses profit:</p>
<ul>
<li>A higher profit margins</li>
<li>Lower operating costs</li>
<li>Faster transactions</li>
</ul>
<p>Can it stand up to the test when we consider Blockchain's distributed nature through the mobile lens? A blockchain-based 100% mobile application would turn the tablet or smartphone into a node, but with some obvious adverse effects.</p>
<h3>Blockchain vs Mobile Storage:</h3>
<p>Mobile devices are naturally limited in the amount of data they can hold. Blockchain mobile apps can quickly take up all available space on a tablet or smartphone.</p>
<p>The size of Bitcoin's blockchain has exceeded 3300 gigabytes. The more extensive the chain, the more space it will need on mobile devices in March 2021. It's up to you to calculate.</p>
<h3>Blockchain is akin to Mobile Performance:</h3>
<p>Although the latest smartphones can compete with middle-class PCs, which make up the majority of nodes in the typical Blockchain, we must admit that most smartphones on the market need to be equipped with sufficient power to allow for the correct function of the Blockchain.</p>
<p>In addition, the battery capacity could create another issue since constant connection and processing activities consume a phone's battery quickly.</p>
<h3>Secure and Immutable:</h3>
<p>Every block of data that makes it onto the Blockchain is checked by every node that is part of the Blockchain. A time stamp and encryption for each new data block make the blockchain database impervious to attacks.</p>
<p>Data immutability will likely be a viable option for mobile applications, but an extended verification could render the entire exercise pointless. Additionally, many smartphones have biometric authentication today -- an already self-sufficient security feature.</p>
<h3>Transparent:</h3>
<p>In addition to providing every person in the system with instant access to their data and information, Blockchain does not allow <strong>App Development UK </strong>companies to alter the information in a particular node and not be recognized.</p>
<p>While not exposing personal information, Blockchain technology lets you determine what data was altered by whom and at what time. This implies that any data manipulation can be observed by anyone who is a part of the network. This means it's not possible to falsify transactions or data.</p>
<p>If an application requires greater transparency and control over data, the Blockchain is the right technology to utilize.</p>
<h3>Efficient &amp; Rapid:</h3>
<p>Many financial institutions develop and deploy mobile applications to help them streamline their operations and improve customer experience. The traditional management method involves a series of processes and checks when dealing with transactions.</p>
<p>Blockchain technology means you don't need a mediator to complete transactions; it permits you to automatize and streamline the process. The technology allows mobile apps to facilitate quick and efficient operations 24 hours daily.</p>
<p>Not quite. Blockchain technology is still finding its way into the world of mobile. A digital wallet application is an ideal way to manage the transactions made with <a data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top"  title="Cryptocurrency" href="/tags/cryptocurrency" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top">cryptocurrency</a>. Take a look at the applications for mobile wallets.</p>
<p>It is essential to understand that mobile wallets are not an app that runs on blockchain technology. In reality, wallets only connect to blockchains, which operate on desktop computers, just like one would imagine.</p>
