21Ventures announces investment in CogniSafe Ltd. - Anti-cheat software provider for online-games


New York, NY and Tel-Aviv, Israel, October 1, 2008 --- 21Ventures, a U.S. based venture capital firm, announced today a seed investment in CogniSafe Ltd. – an Israeli company providing real-time anti-cheat software solution for online games . The funding is earmarked for sales and marketing and ongoing product development. “CogniSafe brings an exciting new approach to solve the cheating problem in online games, a problem which causes significant losses to gaming companies and harms the players ability to enjoy the challenge and adventure of a cheat-free game environment. Just like online banking and commerce services, the online gaming industry is vulnerable to fraud and cheating, but no real time solution has been presented so far to solve the cheating problem. We believe that CogniSafe solution will become the standard in detection and prevention of cheating in online games and we are happy to be among the first to identify CogniSafe potential” said David Anthony, Managing Partner of 21Ventures. The cheating problem in online games causes game providers to remove tens of thousands of paying players every month, due to suspected cheating. The removal is usually done following a complaint from other players, or after a post mortem analysis of player's actions. In addition, a significant number of legitimate players abandon some game titles, and cease paying, when they feel they have been cheated. CogniSafe's solution enables online game providers to detect, in real time, any deviation from proper gaming procedures by the online players, and remove cheaters from participation in the game, thus makes cheating attempts futile and enables other players to continue and enjoy a cheat-free gaming experience. "There is a clear need in the market for a real-time solution that will enable the gaming companies to really understand the magnitude of the cheating phenomena, gather evidence against cheaters, and remove them from the game before they affect the gaming experience for other players ”, said Izik Shimon, CEO of CogniSafe. Izik continues "We are already engaged with several leaders in the online gaming industry, which understand the potential of increasing the integrity of their games and avoiding significant losses, by working with CogniSafe".

Search for videos using regular SMS on JuiceCaster

JuiceCaster this week launched its Mobile Video Search (MVS), a search application that looks for user-posted videos via wireless devices. The free service lets anyone with a video-capable cell phone to instantly watch desired videos on-demand by texting a keyword to 84462. The search tool then immediately sends a reply, with links to the requested content. The company says MVS works on more than 95% of video-capable phones, including the iPhone, BlackBerry, Treo and Windows Mobile devices, as well as mass-market phones like the Motorola Razr series.

The free WAP version is accessible by sending the word "join" in a text message to 84462. Subscription-based and downloadable BREW and Java versions of the application are also available through different local and global wireless carriers.

Heres a quick explanation of JuiceCaster in case you don't know what it is yet:

iPhone with JuiceCaster

While most of what we saw at CES falls into the hardware category, there were a couple of companies showing off web applications that work with or are designed for the iPhone.

JuiceCaster lets you share and view videos online via your iPhone.

JuiceCaster is a social network site designed to let you share and view videos online. It automatically detects that you’re using an iPhone and displays videos in a compatible MPEG4 format. While iPhone users can’t record their own videos to upload, due to a lack of video recording functionality, you can also access the site via your Mac and embed the player on other social networking sites like MySpace and Xanga.

If it’s sharing music you’re into, FlyTunes is a forthcoming service that takes advantage of the thousands of available Internet radio stations to provide you with an unparalleled selection of music, streamed directly to your iPhone. Software installed on your PC or Mac works as a middleman, building a channel tailored to your musical preferences. And by caching 30 minutes of audio on your iPhone when a Wi-Fi signal is detected, FlyTunes doesn’t chew up your iPhone’s precious battery time.
