The DollarChimp team has aggregated thousands of products from almost a dozen suppliers to produce one of the largest Magento sites every built.

eBay wanted a way to bring their auction software to the kiosk. Monsoon worked with HP and eBay to build custom software that optimizes the touchscreen, kiosk experience for the world’s online auction leader.

AT&T wanted to add some interactivity to Fortune Magazine’s “The Most Powerful Women” event, so they talked to Monsoon and HP about building a touchscreen application that guests could interact with to get more information about the likes of Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Sarah Palin. Oops, scratch that. I meant NOT Sarah Palin.

Our team has learned a great deal from Tony Hsieh and the whole Delivering Happiness message. So, we jumped at the chance when the DH team approached Monsoon for help with their official website.

We’ve really enjoyed our recent partnership with eQuest, the leading international job posting distributor for the Fortune 500. Our partnership has included a redesigned version of the company’s flagship software product, Chameleon.

iReuse takes us way back. They were Monsoon’s second customer, when the company was still being run out of a San Francisco apartment. Years later, we are proud of our work helping them developing a range of tools, including the recently completed iScreen tool, which helps organizations screen businesses and reward them for taking positive environmental steps.

After years of using red carpet metaphors, we finally made it to the red carpet. Well sort of. Monsoon partnered with Motion Picture Television Fund and Variety Magazine to create the official touch-trivia application for the Oscars. We are totally psyched about launching this at the Oscars this weekend!

The application lets you spin a virtual orb and answer Oscar worthy trivia questions. HP will be giving away trivia participants some amazing prizes including TV’s, laptops, cameras and free Oscar morning kits.

And while the blue Pandorians may end up mourning their loss to The Hurt Locker, we’ll be celebrating…..because at the end of the day, it’s not really about who took the Oscar home, it’s about which consulting firm made it to the red carpet!

Special thanks to Kevin and John for helping with the install and sharing this video!

I admit it; I wasn’t among the first on the twitter blog wagon. I put if off, for no good reason really; just like everyone else I haven’t quite perfected the art of bending the space-time continuum to my advantage. Then in the summer of 2008, I bought myself an iPhone and dove thumb-first into twitter.

Fast-forward to today, and I can’t help but want to touchscreen-activate everything and tweet every one of my “lightbulb moments” (eat your heart out Deepak Chopra!). Yup, my name is John Doe and there is a tech-junkie in me. Thankfully geek-chic is in, and with Monsoon Company’s latest product launch, my tech-junkie and I are walking the metaphorical red carpet together. Body by touch, brains by tweet.

We are proud to premier the very first Touch Twitter app for Windows7.

Get a taste…scratch that…get a touch here.

The first release of the app brings with it many of the twitter essentials: quick access to tweets via a full feed, the ability to search, post an update, and lots of following/followed views. Let the touch-tweeting begin!

We’ll be releasing an update to the app with a lot more touch-friendly features shortly. The ability to share photos, drag Twitterati (or whomever else you choose to follow) into groups, and save searches and trends, to name just a few.

The app is getting media coverage in almost every major tech outlet and blog. See what Laptop mag and PC World had to say.

We’re working with one of our oldest clients to rethink the way the businesses track and manage sustainability efforts.  Here’s a sneak peak.

Monsoon Company collaborated with US News and HP to create a touch-centric Adobe AIR application for America’s Top 100 Colleges. The application provides a fun, interactive way to discover the best National Universities and Liberal Arts Colleges.

Being a boutique consultancy that is focused on touch software, we are always excited to see how touch is evolving in education and e-learning amongst other verticals!
