Capturing Moments with your Pulse Smartpen

Monday, January 19th, 2009

We’ve heard countless stories from people from all walks of life about how they use their Pulse smartpen and enjoyed discovering the unique ways they have incorporated Pulse into their everyday lives, both personally and professionally.

Take a look at our Livescribe Online Community, and you’ll see all types of pencasts – from a tutorial on how to write Chinese characters to a drawing review of “The Wiz” – that people have captured and shared using their Pulse smartpen.

Thanks to your feedback and suggestions, we’re creating a new category called “Moments” on our Livescribe Community for all those special never-miss-a-word pencasts.

Speaking of special moments, January 20th marks a memorable and historical moment for our country as we inaugurate our nations’ 44th President, Barack Obama. We encourage you to use your Pulse smartpen to capture your inaugural experience and share it with the Livescribe Community. If we pick your pencast as one our five favorites, we’ll send you a little thank you gift.

Tomorrow, we’ll have a few people capturing and sharing their key inauguration moments nationwide from Washington D.C. to Dallas to our headquarters here in Oakland, California.

Beyond the inauguration, we hope you’ll share your unique uses, stories, and memories in the “Moments” section in the Livescribe Community.
