Candy Crush Saga last level reveals to be quite disappointing.

Addicted to Candy Crush Saga? Curious to know about the last level?

Like many of us Candy Crush Saga players and non players, I’ve been faced to massive demands of “lifes” from friends or relations on Facebook.

I have to admit that I was caught playing at Candy Crush after being called by relations on Facebook. I’m not among game addicts at all but I have to admit that the user experience related to candy is relaxing. Colors and music along with TIC TAC TOE moves also make it very intuitive compared to Angry Birds that became very “technical” to handle, with time. According to Polygon  “It's because of all the candy. ».

Still Candy Crush Saga last level reveals to be very disappointing for players that have paid an average of $4.53 with addicts at $200 in a single day!

Just this morning a gamer amongst my Facebook friends shared this screen shot of Last Level 485 of Candy Crush Saga with comment “ It doesn’t have a decent end :( “

Candy Crush Saga's last Level

Candy Crush Saga: To pay or not to pay for in-app features ?
Candy Crush Saga has found success with 600 million plays and, according to the most recent figures from analysis site Think Gaming , over $965,531 daily revenue estimate,  47,745 daily installs and 6,536,328 daily active users, despite the fact that it utilizes free-to-pay monetization tactics.

According to Tommy Palm, the "games guru" — that's his official position — at Candy Crush developer King , 70% of gamers reaching the last level of Candy Crush Saga have done so without paying a single dollar. “The game was designed from the beginning so you can make it to the end without ever having to pay.” according to Palm.

I suppose this is why Candy Crush Saga is RANKED #1 on Top Grossing Apps & #9 on Top Free Apps.

22 Must Haves For Every Enterprise-wide Social Media Deployment by Sprinklr

The Enterprise Social Media Security Reality

“Almost two-thirds of companies surveyed say that social media is a significant or critical risk to their brand reputation; yet 60% of companies either never train their employees about their corporate social media policies or do so only upon hiring. Moreover, 43% of companies have less than one Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) dedicated to managing social media risk.”
Guarding the Social Gates: The Imperative for Social Media Risk Management
(Alan Webber, Altimeter, August 2012)

“Nearly two-thirds of security and risk professionals (64%) have no social media policy in place or if they do, they lack tools to sufficiently enforce and support the policy.”

"I'm Excited to Announce Secret Boards" said Pinterest

"Secret boards give you a place for things you’re not quite ready to share yet, like a surprise party, special gift ideas, or even planning for a new baby."

Received this email a few hours ago that I find to keep as an example.

"Hi, Arnaud!
I had two thoughts driving home from the hospital with my wife, Divya. The first was, “I can’t believe I’m a Dad.” The second was, “I hope I can get our new baby, Max, out of that new car seat when we get home.”
During the first couple weeks, we started to figure out all the little things that are second nature for experienced parents: changing diapers, swaddling a wriggly infant, and doing every household task with one arm. As usual, Divya was a few steps ahead of me. When our doctor suggested we buy a humidifier she said, “Oh, I already have one!” When I was getting Max ready for his first bath, she pulled out a neat homemade bath kit, complete with a tiny towel, comb and toothbrush. I felt like I’d forgotten to read a secret New Baby Instruction Manual. In an exasperated moment, I remember asking Divya, “How did you figure all this stuff out already?!” She looked at me and and cheerfully replied, “I just follow other parents on Pinterest!”
Over the last year, there have been so many ways, big and small, that the Pinterest community has made my life better. I’m happy to say that I’m not alone. We’ve heard from teachers who use Pinterest to plan lessons, chefs who share recipes, and museums that pin their archives. We've also heard from millions of people who’ve been inspired to pick up an old hobby or try something new. It’s honestly more than we ever expected when we started Pinterest. We’re humbled to be part of such a positive, warm and creative community.
Today, we’re excited to continue this tradition with a new feature we hope will make Pinterest even better—secret boards. Secret boards give you a place for things you’re not quite ready to share yet, like a surprise party, special gift ideas, or even planning for a new baby. We’re testing out the feature by giving everyone 3 secret boards. You’ll find them at the bottom of your profile. We can’t wait to hear what you think!
On behalf of our team here at Pinterest, thanks so much for pinning, inviting your friends, and sending us ideas for how we can improve. Most of all, thanks for sharing your inspirations. With your help, we’ll make Pinterest a little better every day.
—Ben & the Pinterest Team

The Team

Lifelong friends David and Kouros left their promising jobs at Amadeus North America and Deutsche Bank, respectively, to join forces and sayisfy their entrepreneurial drives.




Kouros and David are both avid online shoppers because of its convenience and their ability to compare prices on the products they want. They were frustrated by existing "cash back" offers, and saw an opportunity to improve the concept and save more money. This led to successfully founding MonaBar with the help of a friend and famed technology entrepreneur Tyler Mclntyre. The future is bright for this young and innovative company, and the MonaBar team is looking forward to launching in October 2012.
