Raising children is no easy feat, and moms need connections to other likeminded moms who can offer camaraderie and advice. Often mothers have hectic schedules, though, and do not have the time to run to a myriad of sites for all of their interests. Many women do find themselves joining many different sites and clubs to meet all of their needs. They may join a different club or website to join with a community of other moms centered around exercise, professional networking, or book clubs, for instance. Simply put, MoxTree is a social network for moms. It makes connections between moms easier and focuses not only on the parenting component, but on the entire woman. It gives moms the tools to find other moms near them with varied interests, knowledge, experience, and compatibilities. 
Many people use their mobile devices to take photos in order to remember specific products, places, and more. Notepads on tablets or note-taking apps on smartphones are more time-consuming, and a photo is much quicker and simpler. Unfortunately, when returning to a location, they can find themselves scrolling through hundreds of photos in their photo gallery in order to find the one they want. WhereNotes exists to make it easy for users to remember important photos, text, and audio, then associate those items with a specific location. It is an app for iOS that also works on the Apple Watch, so notes are quickly accessible. It makes remembering something and recalling it when you return easy, and its developers claim that it is like having your own private notebook at each place you visit. 
Learning to type is necessary with our growing dependence on technology and computers, and it begins in school. Students need something that keeps their interest to learn most effectively.

It is interesting and engaging while adding a unique social element and providing more for teachers and parents as well. 
According to economists, there is ample demand for a social blogging service that targets stocks, trading, and financial information. While there is already plenty of similar data all over the Internet, Stocial is different, working to make stocks social. Its developers intend it to be, in their own words, a one-stop shop for all financial news, including stocks, analysis and financial journalism, all curated in a live feed. It does this by having an updated news feed that incorporates Twitter, StockTwits and Yahoo! Finance, as well as similar financial news sites and tickers. It goes even further, though, gathering information from your friends, family and followers as well. 
There are many medical apps for our technology, most effectively used in conjunction with doctors and medical professionals. These allow us to help ourselves between doctor visits while enabling collaboration with others responsible for our health. Mobile devices let us keep diligent notes if, for instance, we are tracking a fever, helping us to keep up on when it is time to take medication and reviewing information with a doctor. The problem is that writing everything down becomes very cumbersome, and there can be several different ways to use our mobile devices in these situations. This is where Cures comes in. Cures is an all-in-one medical reference tool and health journaling app that helps you track illness and treatment from your mobile device. It features thousands of treatments for the most common health problems, visually designed for easy browsing, searching, and bookmarking. Medical experts contribute the treatments, and community users can share their own tips and experiences. 
There are many websites, apps, and other online services designed to help us deal with the difficulties of booking travel. There is the issue of the trip itself, flights, rental cars, hotels, and other details, and booking for multiple cities can be an even greater challenge. Multi-city booking is available on sites such as KAYAK, Expedia, Priceline and others, though trying several different options to find the best price and itinerary can take hours. Other sites connect travelers to booking experts in order to build the perfect itinerary, charging a small fee for the service. Vamo is an app that does all these things and more, completely free. While big online booking sites have round-trip flights figured out, anyone who has tried to book a multi-city trip knows what a hassle it can be to find the best flights, local transportation, and lodging, especially for the best price. Vamo aims to make the arduous process of complex international travel booking as fast and simple as possible. 
When searching for social media information based around a specific area, the options social networks provide are limited to those specific websites, apps, or services. Echosec is a map-driven search engine that harvests and searches hundreds of social media services for real time posts and media. You can use the service to see breaking news and live updates from areas of conflict of any kind, or simply to see real time posts from your favorite sporting event. The idea is very self-explanatory; you simply choose the area that interests you by creating a square on the world map, and Echosec will then display the tweets, Facebook posts, and Flickr images, or any other social media mention from that area. While this is especially useful for obtaining the most relevant news as it happens right from the source, you can choose the period that interests you as well. 
The Exit Ticket is a well-known tool to many teachers, allowing them to discover what students have learned at the end of a lesson. A teacher can use them not just at the end of the day but at any point before students leave such as at recess, lunch, their next class, or a transition to another subject area. The concept is simple; students hand their teacher a “ticket” filled out with an answer to a question, a solution to a problem, or a response to what they have learned in order to make it possible to assess if students have understood subject matter and plan for the next lesson or unit of instruction. ExitTicket from EdStart, a company dedicated to making apps for educators, brings this process to the digital realm while improving it. It allows you to ask more questions more quickly and make quicker decisions with the feedback you receive. 
There are now more ways than ever before to stay in touch such as email, text messaging, video chat, social media, and many more. However, despite this extensive list of ways to communicate with others, it can seem more difficult than ever to actually connect with the person you are trying to reach. Ivytalk aims to solve the problems with communication gaps caused by any number of reasons, from people changing their cell phone numbers or email addresses without warning to fewer people using landlines by the day. Some people rarely check their email because they prefer to communicate via Facebook almost exclusively. Still others let each call go to voicemail because they would rather text. For any emergency notification system to be truly effective, people would require a service covering a wide variety of different devices and platforms, and that is exactly what Ivytalk does.
