GoalWorthy uses social media and gamification to create a unique goal-setting experience. Users play by accepting real-life goals from the GoalWorthy community or by contributing their own goals. They can also use GoalWorthy to follow their friends' goal activity and provide encouragement. Players determine the worth of a goal using a voting system and as a goal receives more "worthy" votes, the points awarded to players upon achievement of that goal increases as well. The continued earning of points will cause a player's life to "Level Up." The GoalWorthy platform integrates seamlessly with Facebook, and GoalWorthy users can suggest goals and gift badges in recognition of achievements to their Facebook friends.

"Our society spends a tremendous amount of time and energy on video games. As a gaming enthusiast myself, it would be great if we could channel some of that enthusiasm into achieving real world goals that matter to ourselves and our communities and Level Up our real lives." says Don Shin, CrossComm CEO. "Social media is an inherently powerful platform for personal goals as we tend to try harder when others are watching, and support from our community is essential for overcoming life's challenges. With the New Year approaching, we hope GoalWorthy will help our players have more fun in setting New Year's resolutions with their friends."

GoalWorthy, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of CrossComm, Inc., a mobile and web development studio headquartered in downtown Durham, NC. CrossComm sees the GoalWorthy launch as only the beginning, and plans to significantly enhance the platform in 2013 based upon initial end-user feedback and suggestions. CrossComm has kept the "beta" label on GoalWorthy as a reflection of these upcoming improvements, and aims to make GoalWorthy a catalyst for helping people reach their life dreams.

ProfNet Connect

ProfNet Connect is a free, interactive online community where PR professionals, experts, and media professionals can network and engage with one another.

The site also features enhanced profile capabilities, allowing users to easily add multimedia components -- photos, videos, white papers and more -- to their profiles.

News Widget

Our widget allows you to display PR Newswire content on your site with very little back-end programming required. You not only get the headline, but also the body of text of the news release, keeping the user on your site at all times. In order to do so, the difference between our Widget and other widgets is at the end of the sign-up process, you will be provided with two pieces of source code -- one for the page where the Widget itself will be displayed and one for the pages that will display the body of text of each news release. In addition, the sign-up process allows you to have 100 percent control over every aspect of the Widget's appearance, so that the Widget can blend in fully with the look and feel of your site. Still not convinced? Here's what one blogger had to say about the widget.
