Spool Raises $1 Million in Seed Financing from Marquee Angel Investors

Spool Raises $ 1 Million in Seed Financing from Marquee Angel Investors

Save from one device or computer, and watch on another

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 04, 2012

Spool, a popular San Francisco start-up that allows users to save text, image, and video content to mobile devices and push content to a friend’s mobile device, has raised $ 1 million in seed funding. Spool secured this funding from a number of marquee investors including SVAngel, StartFund, Felicis Ventures, Charles River Ventures, Steve Chen (the founder of YouTube), Vivi Nevo, and several successful entrepreneurs.

Spool is a digital recorder for the web. Users can save articles, videos, image galleries, PDFs, and have it pushed to all of their mobile devices. They can view this content later, either online or offline. Users can also push this content to their friends’ devices without worrying about Flash or the type of device their friend owns.

“Spool is a killer app for commuters and travelers because they can get their favorite Internet content on any of their devices, even if they’re offline. Users can save a blog post with a video to Spool, watch it on an Android phone or Kindle Fire on the train home, and push it to a co-worker’s iPad. Having articles and videos on all of your devices, and being able to share any of them with one-click is a fantastic user experience.” says Spool CEO and Co-Founder, Avichal Garg.

Avichal Garg and Curtis Spencer, Spool Co-Founder and CTO, were inspired to create Spool while on their commute. After a struggle to watch videos on the go, Garg and Spencer realized the need to simplify the way we access content on mobile devices, especially when Internet access is unreliable. “We created an artificial intelligence engine that can save any article or video. It’s an amazing piece of technology that acts like a DVR for the Internet. You can download any video or article and get it on any of your devices, or push it to your friends’ devices. It’s much better than pasting a link and emailing it. You’re guaranteed the content will work on your or your friend’s device, and it’s available even if you’re offline.” says Spencer.

Spool will use its seed funding to accelerate product development and hire additional engineers. Spool is currently in private beta and available for iPhone, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android phones and tablets, any HTML5 browser, and has add-ons for Chrome and Firefox. Invitations to the Spool private beta are available at http://www.getspool.com

Question by Joe1: Calls from someone claiming to be “Verizon Wireless Financial Services”?
I know this isn’t the real Financial Services because we pay our bills on time and I’m added onto the account, I’m not the main account… so they have absolutely NO reason to call me.
This number has called me day and night about 4-6 times a day. This started since last week.
Are the calls going to stop on their own or am I going to have to take this up with someone?
I reverse phonebooked the number for free.
It’s a landline phone in Irvine, California.

I Cannot Access “My Computer” or “Internet Explorer” from My Account?

by Jeffrey Keefer

Question by Genesiss: I Cannot Access “My Computer” or “Internet Explorer” from My Account?
For some strange reason, when I log in on my account, I click on “My Computer” the cursor quickly turns to an hourglass, but nothing appears. The same thing happens when I try to access “Internet Explorer”. When I go onto other accounts, everything works fine, just my account doesn’t. I recently downloaded a PS emulator for my computer and when I finished configuring everything, I clicked on “Insert CD-ROM” and the screen went all black. So, I just turned my computer off by holding the button and now, when I go back to my account, I can’t access “My Computer” and my account also begins to freeze. I am wondering if it is the emulator or not because I have already deleted all the files from my computer. If that isn’t the problem, could someone try and help me!?!

Best answer:

Answer by prince14
Sounds like something has screwed up ur account settings, either a virus or a program. The easiest thing to do would be to save all your files by browsing the hard drive from an administrator account, then deleting ur user account and creating a new one and put all ur files in there. You could also try the system restore function, (under accessories then system tools on the start menu) restore the system to a date before ur account messed up

Hope that helped!
