<p><span style="color: #000000"><em><br />

<p><a href="http://maxborgesagencyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/WEB-5-Connected-Bodyscale_iPhone_H.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-4324" src="http://maxborgesagencyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/WEB-5-Connected-Bodyscale_iPhone_H-600x398.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="398" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Issy-les-Moulineaux, France</strong><strong> </strong><strong>– September 2, 2010 &#8211;</strong> In less than one year the Withings company has successfully conquered the American, Japanese and European markets with its first communicating object, the Withings WiFi Body Scale- a product without equivalent. With the arrival of the capital from Ventech, Withings is escalating its activity, accelerating its development and will offer two new communicating products before the end of the first quarter 2011.</p>
<p>For Cédric Hutchings, co-founder of Withings, <em>“The success of the first connected scale, an innovation entirely developed by Withings, shows the relevance of our activity. The arrival of a partner like Ventech, gives us additional means to extend our capacity of innovation towards other products and quickly increase our territories of distribution”.</em></p>
<p>In September 2009, Withings launched the first connected body scale that incorporated the Internet and WiFi connection. Very quickly this object, with the distinctive design, was enriched by the additional services brought by third party companies.  Health, coaching, fitness and sportsmen websites see the connected scale as the ideal was to finally interface and bring their services “on line” to supplement a users training program in a non-constraining manner. The Withings scale is also the first general public communicating object interfaced with health records by way of Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault.  For these reasons, Withings is a great pioneer of health 2.0.</p>
<p>Eric Carreel, president de Withings adds “<em>We do not see ourselves as a start-up working in a prospective field. The Internet of the Objects is a concrete reality today and the communicating objects show their superiority compared to the traditional electronic objects, while at the same time simpler to use. Our vocation is to repurpose everyday mundane electronic objects the general public uses regularly and enhance them with connectivity and style, thus increasing the quality of users lives. Our ambition is to make Withings the largest industrialist of communicating objects”.</em></p>
<p>The addition of the Ventech will not change the executive staff of Withings. Eric Carreel will remain President of Withings, Cédric Hutchings, General Manager and Frederic Potter, Technical Director.</p>
<p><strong>Over the next months, Withings will market 2 new communicating products.</strong> One product will be related to health industry and the other will serve a family purpose.  The latter has already received an award from the APCI (Agency for the Promotion of Industrial Creation), Observeur du Design 2011.</p>
<p>According to Jean Bourcereau, General Partner of Ventech: “Withings proposes a creative economic model of richnesses and employment where the value is divided between the object, the platform and the suppliers of services. Withings is in the heart of this positive revolution of electronics general public which will impact the whole of the economy”.</p>

<p><strong>Minneapolis, MN </strong>– <strong>August 24, 2010</strong> – Jostens, a leading provider of world-renowned yearbook products, programs and services, today introduced Personal Yearbook Pages™, a revolutionary new application that creates a more inclusive yearbook by giving every student the ability to create personalized pages that will appear exclusively in the student’s copy of the yearbook.

What’s more, student’s can invite friends to collaborate on the design of one or more pages.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Web Uploading</span></strong></p>
<p>The Personal Yearbook Pages experience begins by simply logging on to <a href="http://www.yearbookyourself.com/">www.yearbookyourself.com</a> and uploading all of your favorite pictures taken throughout the year whether it is school shots or even moments captured from your free time. Photos can even be retrieved from your personal Facebook<sup>®</sup> or Flickr<sup>®</sup> account.

<p><strong>Livermore, CA </strong><strong>– (August 30, 2010) &#8211; </strong>FINIS, the Worldwide Leader in Technical Swimming Development and provider of select training equipment for the U.S. Olympic Swim Team, unveils the Swimsense® Performance Monitor (powered by SportSense), an intuitive device worn around the wrist while swimming.

<p>“Most fitness enthusiasts and serious athletes who partake in swimming as part of their training routine can’t remember how many laps they swam last week or how many calories they burned,” says John Mix, President of FINIS. “With the Swimsense you can easily keep track of that and more. Simply get in the water and go, the Swimsense will automatically capture your entire swim workout as soon as you hit the start button. At the completion of your workout you can view your current swim session and any of your prior workouts for comparison.”</p>
