HopStop Live! Launches to Help Transit Riders Worldwide Receive, Contribute and Share Real-Time Transit Information
New York, New York (PRWEB) April 08, 2013
HopStop, the number one ranked transit app in iTunes and Google Play with over three million downloads, today launched HopStop Live! TM – the only free, real-time social transit app backed by the power of millions of highly-engaged mobile users across seven countries, 700 transit agencies, 20,000 lines and 750,000 stops. HopStop Live! is the first social navigation platform that allows public transportation riders to contribute, receive and share real-time transit information about the stations, lines and transit systems that matter most to them. The new service will launch exclusively on the iPhone platform with other platforms, including iPad and Google Play, to follow in subsequent releases. The real-time transit service includes every market, across every transit agency, for every line/route that HopStop currently supports.
HopStop Live! is the only all-in-one transit app, providing unparalleled door-to-door walking and transit directions, schedules and officially licensed transit maps and, for the first time, real-time crowd-sourced information from fellow transit riders. The service benefits from an immediate install-base of 2 million monthly active users, not available anywhere else at this scale. The service also fills a large void left by the lack of real-time information currently available from most transit agencies – especially in periods of disruption caused by unforeseen incidents. Real-time, crowd-sourced information will be available both within HopStop’s familiar step-by-step direction search experience and also through a new standalone service with the iPhone app called “Live!”. Through the standalone service “Live!”, users can follow their specific lines and stations of regular use.
“The real-time public transportation space has attracted so much attention over the past twelve months with a countless number of new transit apps all professing to have the answer to real-time,” says Joe Meyer, CEO, HopStop. “The problem with the vast majority of these is that as impressive and headline-grabbing as their goals or claims may be –they all lack the critical ingredient for any crowd-sourced service to be useful –a big enough crowd of endemic users. Over the past nine years, HopStop has grown to be the biggest independent player in the transit routing market, and today’s launch of HopStop Live! will leverage our large user base and strong commitment to product excellence to define the future of real-time public transportation information.”
HopStop Live! also aims to help transit riders create micro-communities around their particular train line, bus route, stations or stops; and share real-time information and tips to make everyone’s trip better, easier and safer. HopStop Live! analyzes real-time user reports on lines, stations and routes across its entire global footprint to give transit riders a real-time snapshot of whether their ride is delayed, by how long, and an indication of the likely reason.
Joe Meyer, CEO, HopStop added, “Our reliable and highly accurate door-to-door transit directions revolutionized the transit industry a few years ago, and now HopStop Live! will do the same by becoming a must-have tool for any commuter. The new service will also help riders create micro-social communities around the specific stations, lines and stops that they care most about, thereby making everyone’s trip better, easier and safer.”
Cute quotes about friendship and relationships
Friendship Quotes – “Many people will walk in and out of you life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.”
Cute Quotes – “If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate.” – A Child Speaking On “What Is Love?
“The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing… not healing… not curing… that is a friend who cares.”
“A mighty pain to love it is, and ’tis a pain that pain to miss; but of all the pains, the greatest pain is to love, but love in vain.”
To have a good friend is one of the highest delights in life; to be a good friend is one of the noblest and most difficult undertakings.
I do not want a friend who smiles when I smile who weeps when I weep for my shadow in the pool can do better than that.
Do everything with so much love in your heart that you would never love to do it any other way.
“Everybody will be your friend when you’re doing the right things. Your true best friends will stick with you support you even when you’re doing the wrong things.”
Cute quotes – Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner in his joy. He who shares tears with us wipes them away. He divides them in two, and he who laughs with us makes the joy double.
“Life has taught us that friendship does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.”
There is no distance too far between best friends, for friendship gives wings to the heart.
“If you are able to see friendship in its entirety, you will know all things, the all in all, the secrets of all reality.”
Friendship quotes – “True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.”
Best friends: they know you better than you know yourself.
Friends: they think they know you better than yourself. Best friends: you can be a million miles away and still you’ll be on their mind when times get rough. Friends: out of site out of mind.
No one person can possibly combine all the elements supposed to make up what everyone means by friendship.
Quotes – Advice from your friends is like the weather, some of it is good; some of it is bad.

Monique Honaman Takes the High Road on the Today Show
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 09, 2013
Monique Honaman had been married for seventeen years when her husband dropped the proverbial bomb with a simple phrase: “How do you think we’re doing?” Two months later, she became a self-proclaimed cliché—forty years old, two kids, and still wondering what happened.
In a candid interview with Kathie Lee and Hoda on the Today Show, Monique discussed her experience with divorce and what prompted her to write The High Road Has Less Traffic: Honest advice on the path through love and divorce. She said, “So many people get stuck, and for me [my divorce] was a lesson in moving forward.” When asked what advice she had for others going through divorce, her response was simple: “Know there is hope for the future.”
The High Road Has Less Traffic–half memoir, half self-help title—is an inspiring roadmap for marriage, a positive exit strategy for “surviving” divorce, and a powerful life philosophy that supports superior decision-making in all facets of raising a family. With current divorce rates remaining high, this philosophy could not come at a better time. It is estimated that 20% of first marriages end in separation or divorce within five years. 33% of marriages don’t make it to ten years. And by fifteen years, a full 43% of couples have called it quits.
Readers and experts are giving The High Road rave reviews. Dr. Marcia H. Rogers calls it “an excellent resource for parents experiencing divorce,” and Dr. Bill Lampton, author of The Complete Communicator, hails it as a “must-read.” Dr. D. B. Shelnutt, Jr. states, “This is a phenomenal read that will help bring healing for those wounded from divorce. I could not put it down.” In the spirit of giving back, a portion of proceeds from book sales is being donated to organizations that help women and children transition through divorce.
Monique A. Honaman is an expert contributor at HopeAfterDivorce.org and FamilyShare.com. She has been featured in HR Executive, the New York Times, NY Post, Corp Magazine, and several regional business publications. Monique received her Juris Doctorate from Albany Law School and was profiled by the Atlanta Business Chronicle as one of the “40-Under-40-Up-and-Comers.” She was named one of the “2007 Enterprising Women of the Year” by Enterprising Women and one of the “2011 Women Business Enterprise National Enterprise (WBE) Stars” by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). Monique received the POW! Award (2012) by Womenetics and is a regular contributor for The Huffington Post.
Monique lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, Justin, and her two children. In her free time, she enjoys being outside, traveling, boating, watching college football, reading books, and taking photographs.

FPgirl Market Insights Program: Tweens Prefer Clothes Over Bling, and Rank Disney Channel As Their Fan Favorite
Beverly, Massachusetts (PRWEB) April 09, 2013
FashionPlaytes, Inc. today released new data about how tween girls think about fashion, style, entertainment and brands as part of its FPgirl Market Insights Program. Tweens are playing an increasingly active role in how and who they engage with from a brand perspective and are commanding a larger percentage of the family spend on entertainment, technology, fashion and travel.
According to a recent Market Insights poll, nearly 50% tween girls consider clothing as their top fashion item over jewelry, bags or shoes. This data reflects the buying habits tween girls have shown on FPgirl’s e-commerce platform, both in terms of buying behavior but also in the types of fashion choices they make as they engage with the fashion design process. To date, girls have designed over 8 million outfits on FPgirl.com, including everything from dresses and skirts to tops and pants.
FPgirls also prefer Disney Channel over rival Nickelodeon by a nearly 4 to 1 margin, according to a recent poll. In commenting on their entertainment preferences, several girls mentioned the loss of shows such as iCarly and Victorious as a primary driver for their move to the house the mouse built, as well as the popularity of the shows Austin & Ally, Shake It Up, Jessie and Good Luck Charlie. Tween girls are also showing a growing interest in reality-based shows that run on networks such as the Food Network, Animal Planet, HGTV and specifically A&E’s Duck Dynasty. PBS Kids ranked last in the poll, with many girls noting that the content was geared toward a younger audience.
“The girls of Generation Z are clearly tapped into the world around them and can change their preferences and loyalties based on what they see and hear from brands they love, as demonstrated by the shift to Disney following the end of shows they watched on Nickelodeon,” said Andy Komack, Market Insights Program Director. “We expect brands to closely monitor and engage with this key demographic as the market develops to ensure they stay engaged with this highly elusive and in-demand group of girls.”
About FPgirl Market Insights:
FPgirl Market Insights pulls information from FPgirl’s 700,000+ member fashion design community, where girls regularly post information, interact with each other and provide unique input via the site’s polls. The program is designed to provide previously unavailable information on everything from what girls wear, how and where they shop, and how they like to be entertained. Insights uncovered through the FPgirl Market Insights program gives brands a unique and unfiltered glimpse into what makes these digital natives tick.
