Plug Software's Head Honored as Tech Woman of the Year
By Carmen Marshall
Rebecca Curtis, CEO of software company Ping, has been named the most successful woman in the tech world by Gadget Lover magazine. Ms. Curtis, who took over the company five years ago and transformed it into a thriving multi-platform enterprise, is expected to deliver an acceptance speech at the Gadget Lover annual conference on December 2.
Ms. Curtis's achievements as CEO have been widely celebrated. When she replaced the previous CEO, Mark Spalding, Ping was mainly known for its word processing software. Due to the influx of new word processing products, Ping's software was not selling as well as it once had. Ms. Curtis quickly reversed that situation by developing a wide range of high-quality software including photo-editing and spreadsheet programs. Now the name "Ping" is notable for its cutting-edge, dependable technology.
Over the next several years, Ms. Curtis says Ping will create a membership plan for its frequent users. Those who sign up will be able to download new Ping products at a reduced rate. Ms. Curtis says the company also plans to redevelop its Web site. With all these plans ahead. Ping is expected to grow even more.

City Trends Report — Valencia
Tourism numbers in Valencia have been increasing for three years running as people are beginning to discover this often underrated city on the eastern coast of Spain. At the beginning of the survey period, the city received just under a million visitors a year, but the latest figures show this has jumped to over 1.4 million.
There are a number of factors that can account for this change. The new Sanchez Museum of Iberian Art and its nearby conference facilities have proven to be a big draw since opening last year. And updates to rail services from Valencia to Madrid and Barcelona have reduced travel time significantly. With a major airport expansion due to be completed before the end of the year, things are expected to get even better for Valencia.
In addition, the city government's launch of an international advertising campaign two years ago has also proved beneficial. The city was marketed by television, print, and social media as a tourism destination. Reaction to the campaign continues to be positive.
Finally, as well as its attraction to tourists and business visitors, Valencia is increasingly being recognized as an excellent place to live. The consultancy Apollo and Company recently put the city in third place in a report measuring the quality of life in small European cities. They cited its lovely waterfront location, low housing costs, and modern infrastructure as reasons for its high place.
