1. TurlyTag
Before you leave on your next business trip, sign up for some Turly Tags. The idea is simple: the tags use a private code and do not display your full name and address. The company has versions that tie onto your bag or that you can apply as a sticker. If you lose your bag"”or laptop, or smartphone"”the finder can tap in the code at TurlyTag.com and send you a note. You can then arrange terms for the finder to send your bag. What I like about Turly Tag is the anonymity. Criminals who find bags would never return your belongings anyway, so you might as well protect your identity when you travel. Prices range from about $5 per month for 14 tags up to $12 per month for 96 tags.
2. Wall St. Scanner
One of the great challenges of owning a business is understanding the economic climate; few of us have the time to study the markets every day. The free Wall St. Scanner app for iPhone uses proprietary algorithms to scan social networks, corporate sites, and the stock markets to report on economic trends. You can check stock prices, read headlines, and check the economic mood and buzz. What I liked best is a simple chart that showed me the stock trend for today and the forecast for the next day

Adapx Capturx Forms for Excel includes an Anoto digital pen and software to focus just on forms. You can fill out a form with the pen, and only the data for that form is captured"”such as name, checkboxes for medical conditions, or a social security number. That more limited approach may be the innovation required to make digital pen technology work for more businesses.
