New software holds smartphone alerts when you are busy

The information is then sent anonymously to Triggerhood's servers, where an algorithm determines whether you are likely to find it a good or bad time to get a notification, according to 'MIT Technology Review'.

The software will help apps to time their push notifications so that maximum communication with each user is ensured.

It helps smartphone apps evaluate the way their users spend time on their phone, see which other apps they are using, and also know at which location their device is used the most.

Integration with Triggerhood requires just one line of code, according to the website.

It takes a few days to build a personal profile for a user before Triggerhood can determine that, say, a news app should send you notifications about articles after you go running rather than during your run.

Triggerhood's cofounder and product head, Guy Balzam, said several small apps are using it. His company is working to bring it to some larger apps as well. http://post.jagran.com/new-software-holds-smartphone-alerts-when-you-are-busy-1439444644

Airtel launches platform for free access to certain smartphone apps

Tech News - "Akin to the established concept of toll-free voice calling, Airtel Zero will allow everyone from big marketers to small-time application developers to make parts or their entire mobile app free for customers – thus reviving interest of dormant customers, attracting new potential users and increasing retention," Airtel said in a statement.

 The country's largest telecom operator said the platform is a compelling marketing tool for marketers as the application providers pay for customers’ data charges, thus giving customers toll-free access to their mobile application.
  
"From startups to enterprises, it is an open marketing platform that empowers companies ranging from small businesses 0to large conglomerates with an equal opportunity to reach out to customers in India," it added.

Mobile application makers need to register with Airtel Zero to give customers toll-free access to their apps and the company will inform the customers. The customers can then download the apps and access them at zero data charges.
  
"We believe that this platform is consistent with India's digital inclusion agenda and also contributes to government's 'Make in India' vision by providing a platform to millions of small businesses to reach out to the end consumer," Bharti Airtel (India)  Director (Consumer Business) Srini Gopalan said.
