iYunque: Rainforest App with Maps, Routes and More..

Dean Sherwin — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:35:51 +0000

So the summer is nearly over and you’re wondering what to do. Sure, it’s not long now until big yellow busses start pulling up outside houses to cart kids all over the US back to school and as such the summer is over and the monotony of life kicks back in for a cold winter. However, there is one app that could appeal to your adventurous side before that too is shut away until next July – it’s called iYunque and it offers advice for, and indeed a virtual experience of the only rainforest in the US – El Yunque.

The main feature of this app is giving advice. There are maps, photographs, warnings and local information about the rainforest that will help you stay on track, literally. The maps are detailed and up to date with all the popular tourist and adventure routes taken today in the rain forest. The maps also point out good places to get a good view and nice places to take a little break and how to get to the area if you have to travel first.

Because it’s a rainforest it also offers a few words of warning about travelling alone into the forest and about the wildlife in there.

The virtual tour feature is also really cool for those who can’t make it. It allows you to tap on the map and it gives you information of that area and some pictures.

iYunque is available for download right here.

Here at Crenk we have been on Twitter since the start, but we have never really tried to push our Twitter account too much, we just let the growth happen organically. However, Im really wanting to try to build a community around our twitter account. At the moment we are getting very close to 1,500 twitter followers. I know this is nothing compared to Ashton Kutcher, but then again im not a movie star (well at the moment, lol).

Anyways, help us find more Twitter followers! Our account is www.twitter.com/crenk.

JumboURL: The Worlds Second Ever URL Extending Service

Steven Finch — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 20:48:43 +0000

There are so many url shortening websites on the web these days and more and more are popping up every day. Today I was using stumbleupon when I was bored for a couple of minutes and came across a bit of a different take on url shortening. JumboURL is the complete opposite to url shortening, its a url extending service.

JumboURL claims to be the second website of its kind on the net and I’m surprised it wasn’t the first. I’m not entirely too sure what the point is of this service. Why would you be looking to extend you url? Anyways, its an interesting service and decent site to check out.
