Running a business takes large quantities of hard work and dedication to succeed. Sometimes it takes more than one company or group of people to make all ideas and goals a reality. The infographic below tells the story of a business decision that landed two companies with some pretty powerful success.
It all began with Hothead games, an award winning, independent game development studio whose main focus was on games of the mobile world. Of these mobile games were some iPhone App store favorites, such as “Big Win Soccer,” a sports game that skyrocketed to success after only two days.
Then, it was time to move Hothead Games’ data layer over to new hands in order for them to focus on development and better player experience. Along came Cloudant, the world’s first globally distributed data layer as a service for loading, storing, analyzing, and distributing application data. What followed over the next sixteen weeks was a multitude of success with Big Win Hockey and Big Win Baseball. Check out the infographic below presented by Cloudant to see the full story!

Steve Jobs was a man who could see into the future. He would change our lives through technology and eventually with the introduction of mobile internet. His many gadgets made us think in a different light when it came to the way we communicated, worked, and played. The boom made possible in social media was due to his extraordinary vision and commitment to changing the world we live in.
Chances are pretty strong that if you have a smartphone, tablet, or other device that is mobile-app-enabled, then your devices are loaded with apps. Some come with the devices. Most can be downloaded. Some are free. Some are not. Games are huge. The trends are clear.
This growing segment of eCommerce is embedding itself into our lives every day.
The attachment that social media has to entertainment is clear. We tweet the shows we watch, like the Facebook pages of movies we’re going to go see, and blast out or elation or rage on all social networks when our sports team wins or loses.
No sport or other form of entertainment has as big of a social media following as football. No, not American football, even though it’s pretty darn big as well. We’re talking about soccer. We’re talking about the little round ball that goes up and down the field trying to find its way into one goal or another.
I was listening to my rock radio station of choice the other day, and when the commercial for a big bank mobile app aired, some thoughts I’d been having about social media and apps started to really make sense.
The spokesperson, in jocular, soothing tones, told me how even if I forgot to deposit my checks before I went to the ballgame, it didn’t matter, because I could do so with the app while the pitchers warm up. “All you have to do is take a picture of both sides of the check and boom it’s deposited,” he said.
They have become such an embedded part of our lives that we often forget the trouble they cause on a daily basis. Smart phones are wonderful and immensely troubling at the same time.
