What can you do with a UDID?
The only way an iPhone can install programs is if Apple approves them. Applications in the App Store have been approved by Apple for general distribution, but beta/demo customers who wish to try the app before it is in the store need to register the UDID. This will allow the user to be approved for use of the application and embed a provision kit onto the phone. This kit will then grant permission so the application works on the device.

How do I get my UDID?
You can copy your UDID from iTunes. Here are the steps to getting your UDID.
Copy from iTunes
1. Launch iTunes and connect your iPhone.
2. In the left panel, locate the device and select it

Phoenix, Arizona – April 2, 2009 – TechPad Productions, a social media research and online publication company, announced today that its first game, iNetMania, is now ready for download for the Apple® iPhone™ and iPod® touch! It is available for a limited-time promotional price of $2.99 USD (regularly $4.99) from the Apple App Store and can be found at http://itunes.inetmaniagame.com/.

iNetMania is based upon TechPad’s popular board game, ServerMania, which features players competing to build a successful web hosting company and finish with the most money at the end of the game. iNetMania uses a similar format and rule set as the award-winning board game, but instead of a web hosting company, your goal is to create a successful website!

In iNetMania, you compete with up to three other players (either in hot-seat mode with human controlled opponents or an intelligent computer-controlled AI) all the way from the start-up phase to the finish line, with plenty of highs and lows (or “Spikes and “Slumps”) along the way. Increase your web traffic with savvy rolling, lucky card draws and strategy, as more visitors translate into more money – the player with the largest pile of cash at the end of the game wins!

iNetMania has loads of great features, including:

• Great graphics with dynamic, fluid, openGL animations
• A quick-play option that allows you to get into the game quickly and easily
• Easy to understand rules and a low learning curves ensures that anyone can get in on the fun
• The ability to create up to 30 profiles to keep track of your progress and prowess
• Gameplay achievements (similar to Xbox 360 Achievements) that set gameplay goals, allow you to track your prowess against your friends and lead to unlockable content, including new game pieces!
• Auto-save gameplay (if you quit or have to take a call)
• An Accelerometer-based, 3D dice cup to roll the die – a first for the iPhone!
• Swap n’ Play™ with up to three other AI or human-controlled players

Buzz Research Services
Description
Buzz research refers to a Public Relations and Market Research Service that is used to discover where, what and how people are discussing products and services in the blogosphere, forums or other social media areas. Our investigative process allows us to identify:

• Critical discussions, trends, popular opinions, suggestions and rumors
• Major individual influencers in the blogosphere
• PR contacts, Alexa ratings, number of users and postings
• Miscellaneous data useful in customer relations and marketing

Utilizing the data from Buzz Research, it is possible to
determine:

• What the “buzz” is about a product—before, during and post-launch
• Whether marketing/promotion programs are resonating with consumers
• That products and services are having the desired impact and building the right kind of buzz
• What key issues generate and influence buzz and sentiment about a brand (and the competition) and if the issues match the expected behavior
• Who the most influential consumers are, where their online influence is concentrated, and how they can best be leveraged
• If products and services are addressing customer need; and How consumer suggestions, innovations and adaptations can be best utilized.

Buzz Interaction Services
Description
“Buzz Interaction” refers to a Public Relations and Advertising Service that is used to promote products, services, events and ideas of all kinds. The rapid growth of Internet marketing has necessitated more strategic and effective methods of gaining consumer interest, as well as developing and maintaining customer trust.

On Internet forums, discussion sites, blogs, Usenet newsgroups and review/ratings sites, today’s Internet-savvy consumers are creating, sharing and relying on each other for information about what to buy and what not to buy – as well as corporate and brand reputation issues and ongoing marketing campaigns.
Buzz interaction, management and promotion includes Social Media techniques that are used as a component of online public relations and interactive marketing activities. These methods are also employed to influence the messages that exist or are created, using our PN3 system.
The PN3 System
Our PN3 system was created to label social media discussions in blogs, forums and other social areas of the Internet. A previous 15 days of conversation is reviewed, and a discussion is labeled as one of four levels:

1. Positive Buzz
2. Negative Buzz
3. Neutral Buzz
4. No Buzz

We manually read through active conversations and reviews, and document what the PN3 buzz level is of each specific discussion. Using this information along with interaction, we return to the posting on a weekly basis, and benchmark the discussion again, to determine if the interaction has had a positive impact. At that time, we can also determine how best to
proceed, for the most positive results possible. Sometimes the goal or issue is resolved; other times, it may be necessary to create another posting and follow up until the situation is handled in the most desirable way.
