Helperoo launches a simple and affordable email support system


Helperoo is a free email support system made especially for small no nonsense businesses that has just launched today. No extra features, no confusing interface, and forget about that 500 page manual needed to get started; everything a small business needs for email support is here.

Helperoo was started as a way for companies to handle simple email support without sifting through other feature rich applications that take time to learn. They stripped out all of the features that would never normally get used by smaller companies and built their simple core system. The Helperoo support system does not require any special installations or maintenance, and they look after everything by storing all information on top grade web servers. Helperoo claims that your data will be secure by using leading encryption and backup services. The system works by accepting your forwarded standard company support emails, which are then protected by industry leading spam and virus protection, to your account on Helperoo. From your Helperoo account you can then reply to, forward, close, open, hold, or create new support issues. No dedicated applications necessary, to use the support system application all you need is a browser, so you can stay in touch with issues wherever you may be.

There are two plans offered. A free 200 email per month plan that is ad supported, and a pro unlimited email plan for $12 per month.

And Yes, this is a Canadian web application.

Check out some Helperoo interface screenshots.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
