Description: Two data transmission applications were developed.

BTInfo
BTInfo application is intended for broadcasting images through Bluetooth: it obtains images available on the webservice, checks for suitable mobile phones in the vicinity, sends certain images, with informational/advertising purposes mainly, and then records the processed mobile phone numbers and images sent.

Client: CityExpress

Description: CityExpress is a Moscow company providing courier and mail delivery services. Their goal was to increase repeat traffic and build community while simultaneously promoting their brand and creating buzz. They decided that a game built around CityExpress services would accomplish all four goals.

NTR presented several game ideas; the winning one having the user to play the role of mail sorter at CityExpress. This appealed to the client and we agreed on developing this Flash game for their entertainment portal CityExpression.ru.

Developed using Flash technology, the game is set in a storage facility where envelopes and parcels are falling from shelves and the player scores points by catching the falling items; it has three skill levels.

• introduced page caching with Memcached that speeded up page load time and reduced database load;
• amended image storage structure, so that more files can be stored with substantially less stress to the server’s file system;
• integrated Userplane webmessenger;
• improved user’s session management;
• added search-by-interest function;
• improved “more like him/her” feature in the way that a CMS admin can manage the allowable variance of search parameters to broaden/narrow search results (matches);
