Samsung introduces ChatON Instant Message Service

Samsung is getting into the market that Apple, the maker of the iPhone, RIM, the maker of the BlackBerry, and Facebook are already in. Samsung, the maker of many popular mobile phones, "smart" and otherwise, introduced it's ChatON instant messaging service.

The ChatON service will allow users to send short messages to each other for free, including texts, photos, contacts, and calendar. The service will be available at first on Samsung devices running their "semi-smart" mobile operating system, called Bada.

A Samsung
device running Bada.

The service will later come as an app on Android and iOS devices. While the users of the Bada version will get the basic capabilities mentioned above, the users of the Android and iOS app will get some more advanced features, such as commenting on their friends profile pages, create special "animation messages", and keep track of how often they instant message.

Ho Soo Lee, Head of Media Solution Center at Samsung Electronics, said in a statement, "With ChatON, Samsung has vastly simplified mobile communication by allowing users to connect to our upcoming feature phones and all major smartphones in the market. Users around the world can now enjoy easier and richer interactivity with whoever they want, in the format they want."


While the ChatON service seems like a pretty good idea, like I mentioned at the beginning of the post, Samsung is competing with some pretty big contenders. RIM's BlackBerry Messenger was recently revamped to become more "social", Apple has a similar service coming out soon on all iOS devices, called iMessage, and of course Facebook, with more than 750 million users, recently launched it's Facebook Messenger app for iOS, so Samsung's app will have to be pretty good to compete.

Samsung's ChatON service will make it's official debut later this week at Berlin's IFA Conference, and will be available in over 120 countries with 62 languages.

So, the ChatON service has a lot to compete with, but it's one of the only services available on more than one platform, with it's Bada, iOS, and Android apps. Overall, it seems like a great service, and I wish it luck in succeeding in the large world of IM services.

Monday - Call To Order. Sale too!

I so desperately want this upcoming week to be a little easier on me.
Please!

Earthquake, Hurricane, Tornado Warnings - that's my three.
I'm done!

Riley playing with backup light as Light Saber (fake sounds too!).

My Saturday night was spent sleeping in the basement camped out with Dave, Chloe & Riley.

It felt like I was in preparation mode for days before…

Just mentally & physically draining.

Like getting ready for a week or two away from home…

Not that I was worried about the wind and rain from hurricane Irene,

But I was worried rather about the way these huge old trees may drop parts onto our house.

Or how they might come crashing through the house all the way to the street out front...

Riley watching the wind through the trees post Irene.

And I've had nightmares that have woken me with thoughts of these trees coming through the roof in a bad storm and neither Dave or myself not being able to get to the kids. 

The thoughts of their crying terrified voices is enough motivation to drop everything else and get us ready:

cat litter boxes area be damned - steam cleaned carpets, dehumidifier run, fans running, deodorizing spray a plenty, disinfectant cleaned, child proofed my office area where we would be hanging out and sleeping with a 1.5 and 3 year old, tarps to cover the rug, extra twin mattresses brought down from the attic, beds made, lights, batteries, food, water, diapers, potty seat, toys, chargers, must I go on...

Chloe coloring post Irene.

Luckily all the kids knew is that we were having our first family camping night in the basement together. They had a blast! Oh, the bliss of not knowing...

I was a bit worried for my garden.

Nothing that couldn't grow back, but I was expecting something worse than what is pictured above.

Reminded me a bit of Chloe's Rapunzel doll's hair:

Just a bit messy from the winds.

Guess it's like playing and sleeping with a 3.5 year old.

The haphazard life of a doll with very long hair...

And this photo was of the sun breaking through the clouds…

The last of the winds diminishing…

On our way to have Sunday dinner with Dave's family.

Lucky to have Irene treat us not so horribly…

Made it out ok - just a bit stressed…

Hurricane Irene. Earthquakes. Etsy Relevancy. The Turtle is Ready...

You know it's going to just be one of those weeks sometimes…

At least the sandbox turtle is prepared...

I was eating lunch on Tuesday when the earthquake happened.

Have to admit - eating a bowl of pumpkin mushroom soup was an ideal place to be.

For me - not scary - thank goodness.

Pretty cool actually…

So now we are under Hurricane Watch/Warning for this weekend…

Last night we took precautions to secure things outside that might take flight when the hurricane force winds hit us.

Inside, the kilns are unplugged and electrical parts up off the floor (just incase a bit of water makes its way in - if it is a lot, then we're in trouble regardless).

I'm getting anything paper related up off the ground if I can.

Books, magazines, etc…

Most of my stuff is stored in plastic bags within plastic bins anyway, so not much preparation is needed in the studio.

Over on Etsy, I've yet to really delve into the "relevancy search-ability" of my shop items.

I need to go by section by section to edit tags and titles…

And the whole thing is just unappealing to me right now.

Too many other things going on in life.

And any free time I have,

I want to be creative and not sucked into the computer.

Know the feeling?

Here is one quick section I managed to update:

Porcelain Halloween

MarshaNealStudio.Etsy Porcelain Halloween pre-update.

Above is what the old background & photographs looked like.

Of course, I had started the update when I remembered to take a screen shot…

MarshaNealStudio.Etsy Porcelain Halloween during update.

Above is what it looked like once I updated the background.

I wanted an old Transylvania eerie map feel to the images.

Like these are old pieces recently unearthed…

You know - Halloween style though.

MarshaNealStudio.Etsy Porcelain Halloween all cleaned up.

And above is the final update to the section.

New pieces photographed with the new background.

Tags and Titles updated.

Now will they be relevant enough to start to show up in searches?

What about Treasuries?

What about into shopping carts?

And then - into actual designs…

So how are you preparing for the hurricane?

Did you feel the earth move too?

Do you think the turtle in the first photo is over-reacting with 4 bungee cords?

(I think he takes after my side of the family if you ask me!)
