Dave Troy’s 410 Labs keeps improving their inbox-zero creation Mailstrom. According to an e-mail sent to Mailstrom beta users, they’ve upgraded Mailstrom with a “new responsive left-to-right UI design” to work better on smaller screens, “faster and more responsive processing” and a pared down inbox-zero progress meter. All beta users also now have three invitations to send out to friends with far too many e-mails to contend with.

Mindgrub Technologies, which just established a mobile gaming division last month, is now an official developer for the Barnes and Noble Nook tablet, according to a press release. This means that Mindgrub can now create apps specifically for the Nook platform.
Head to the home of Advertising.com in Locust Point tonight for a Baltimore Lean Startup session on how to develop products that solve customer needs.

The Maryland Biotechnology Center is now accepting applications for its 2012-2013 biotechnology development awards. The awards are “for commercialization and translational research [that] will be granted on a competitive basis in amounts ranging from $50,000 to $200,000.”
