Tarlov's mission was to grow wines to match those of Burgundy's best and Evening Land has been winning a developing reputation for making the outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnays outside the Côte d'Or. He set up the venture after managing to gain two of America's most important vineyards – the fantastic Seven Springs in Oregon, and Sonoma's famed Occidental in California.

He then persuaded Dominique Lafon, one of Burgundy's most reputable winemakers, to nurture the development of the Oregon vineyard. Peter Ahl, Managing Director of London-based Serenata Wines, which specialize in providing high-quality wine online, said: 'This is a major coup for Serenata Wines.'Evening Land Vineyards was set up by a late Hollywood film manager and there's no question its wine range has true leading quality.'

Serenata assured the Evening Land deal by connecting up with a companion which is the single UK importer of Evening Land Vineyards. Although Ten-Acre is a wholesaler, it has preferred to operate with Serenata on the retail side, making Serenata the single UK retailer. The wines of Evening Land, whose name was inspired by a wedding gift to Zeus, include the velvety 2006 Evening Coast Pinot Noir California/Oregon and the great 2006 Occidental Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast.

Serenata Wines is a UK one stop wine shop and a purveyor of top-quality wine online with a distribution system all over the UK. Its luxury gift-giving service occurs with quality packaging and super-fast wine delivery. The Serenata brand also specializes in online flower and chocolate delivery with its award-winning sister sites Serenata Flowers and Serenata Chocolates.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - As cybercriminals begin to take advantage of the holiday season, McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today revealed the 'Twelve Scams of Christmas' – the twelve most dangerous online scams that computer users should be cautious of this holiday season. According to Consumer Reports' 2009 State of the Net Survey, cybercriminals have bilked $8 billion from consumers in the past two years, and McAfee warns consumers not to fall victim to the top scams this year.

'Cybercriminals' use their best schemes during the holidays to steal people's money, credit card information, social security number and identity,' said Jeff Green, senior vice president of McAfee Labs. 'These thieves follow seasonal trends and create holiday-related Web sites, scams and other convincing e-mails that can trick even the most cautious users.'

McAfee's Twelve Scams of Christmas

Scam I: Charity Phishing Scams – Be Careful Who You Give To

During the holiday season, hackers take advantage of citizens' generosity by sending e-mails that appear to be from legitimate charitable organizations. In reality, they are fake Web sites designed to steal donations, credit card information and the identities of donors.

Scam II: Fake Invoices from Delivery Services to Steal Your Money

During the holidays, cybercriminals often send fake invoices and delivery notifications appearing to be from Federal Express, UPS or the U.S. Customs Service. They e-mail consumers asking for credit card details to credit back the account, or require users to open an online invoice or customs form to receive the package. Once completed, the person's information is stolen or malware is automatically installed on their computer.

Scam III: Social Networking – A Cybercriminal 'Wants to be Your Friend'

Cybercriminals take advantage of this social time of the year by sending authentic-looking 'New Friend Request' e-mails from social networking sites. Internet users should beware that clicking on links in these e-mails can automatically install malware on computers and steal personal information.

Scam IV: The Dangers of Holiday E-Cards

Cyber thieves cash in on consumers who send holiday e-cards in an effort to be environmentally conscious. Last holiday season, McAfee Labs discovered a worm masked as Hallmark e-cards and McDonald's and Coca-Cola holiday promotions. Holiday-themed PowerPoint e-mail attachments are also popular among cybercriminals. Be careful what you click on.

Scam V: 'Luxury' Holiday Jewelry Comes at a High Price

McAfee Labs recently uncovered a new holiday campaign that leads shoppers to malware-ridden sites offering 'discounted' luxury gifts from Cartier, Gucci, and Tag Heuer. Cybercriminals even use fraudulent logos of the Better Business Bureau to trick shoppers into buying products they never receive.

Scam VI: Practice Safe Holiday Shopping – Online Identity Theft on the Rise

Forrester Research Inc. predicts online holiday sales will increase this year, as more bargain hunters turn to the Web for deals. While users shop and surf on open hotspots, hackers can spy on their activity in an attempt to steal their personal information. McAfee tells users never to shop online from a public computer or on an open Wi-Fi network.

Scam VII: Christmas Carol Lyrics Can Be Dangerous – Risky Holiday Searches

During the holidays, hackers create fraudulent holiday-related Web sites for people searching for a holiday ringtone or wallpaper, Christmas carol lyrics or a festive screensaver. Downloading holiday-themed files may infect one's computer with spyware, adware or other malware. McAfee found one Christmas carol download site that led searchers to adware, spyware and other potentially unwanted programs.

Scam VIII: Out of Work – Job-Related E-mail Scams

The U.S. unemployment rate recently spiked to 10.2 per cent, the highest level since 1983. Scammers are preying on desperate job-seekers in the poor economy, with the promise of high-paying jobs and work-from-home moneymaking opportunities. Once interested persons submit their information and pay their 'set-up' fee, hackers steal their money instead of following through on the promised employment opportunity.

Scam IX: Outbidding for Crime – Auction Site Fraud

Scammers often lurk on auction sites during the holiday season. Buyers should beware of auction deals that appear too good to be true, because often times these purchases never reach their new owner.

Scam X: Password Stealing Scams

Password theft is rampant during the holidays, as thieves use low-cost tools to uncover a person's password and send out malware to record keystrokes, called keylogging. Once criminals have access to one or more passwords, they gain vast access to consumers' bank and credit card details and clean out accounts within minutes. They also commonly send out spam from a user's account to their contacts.

Scam XI: E-Mail Banking Scams

Cybercriminals trick consumers into divulging their bank details by sending official-looking e-mails from financial institutions. They ask users to confirm their account information, including a user name and password, with a warning that their account will become invalid if they do not comply. Then they often sell this information through an underground online black market.

McAfee Labs believes cybercriminals are more actively scamming consumers with this tactic during the holidays since people are monitoring their purchases closely.

Scam XII: Your Files for Ransom – Ransomware Scams

Hackers gain control of people's computers through several of these holiday scams. They then act as virtual kidnappers to hijack computer files and encrypt them, making them unreadable and inaccessible. The scammer holds the user's files ransom by demanding payment in exchange for getting them back.

McAfee advises Internet users to follow these five tips to protect their computers and personal information:

1. Never Click on Links in E-Mails: Go directly to a company or charity's Web site by typing in the address or using a search engine. Never click on a link in an e-mail.

2. Use Updated Security Software: Protect your computer from malware, spyware, viruses and other threats with updated security suites. McAfee® Total Protection software provides fully-featured protection from current and emerging threats. It also comes built in with McAfee SiteAdvisor® technology, a safe search toolbar to warn consumers of a Web site's safety rating as well as phishing protection. It uses intuitive red, yellow and green checkmarks to rate potentially dangerous Web sites when searched on Google, Yahoo! or Bing.

3. Shop and Bank on Secure Networks: Only check bank accounts or shop online on secure networks at home or work, wired or wireless. Wi-Fi networks should always be password-protected so hackers cannot gain access to them and spy on online activity.

Also, remember to only shop on Web sites that begin with https://, instead of http://, and seek out Web sites with security trustmarks, like McAfee SECURE™.

4. Use Different Passwords: Never use the same passwords for several online accounts. Diversify passwords and use a complex combination of letters, numbers and symbols.

5. Use Common Sense: If you are ever in doubt that an offer or product is not legitimate, do not click on it. Cybercriminals are behind many of the seemingly 'good' deals on the Web, so exercise caution when searching and buying.

'Consumer mobile applications and services are no longer the prerogative of mobile carriers,' said Sandy Shen, research director at Gartner. 'The increasing consumer interest in smartphones, the participation of Internet players in the mobile space, and the emergence of application stores and cross-industry services are reducing the dominance of mobile carriers. Each player will influence how the application is delivered and experienced by consumers, who ultimately vote with their attention and spending power.'

'The ultimate competition between industry players is for control of the 'ecosystem' and user experience, and the owner of the ecosystem will benefit the most in terms of revenue and user loyalty,' Ms. Shen said. 'We predict that most users will use no more than five mobile applications at a time and most future opportunities will come from niche market 'killer applications'.'

The top 10 consumer mobile applications in 2012 will include:

No. 1: Money Transfer
This service allows people to send money to others using Short Message Service (SMS). Its lower costs, faster speed and convenience compared with traditional transfer services have strong appeal to users in developing markets, and most services signed up several million users within their first year. However, challenges do exist in both regulatory and operational risks. Because of the fast growth of mobile money transfer, regulators in many markets are piling in to investigate the impact on consumer costs, security, fraud and money laundering. On the operational side, market conditions vary, as do the local resources of service providers, so providers need different market strategies when entering a new territory.

No. 2: Location-Based Services
Location-based services (LBS) form part of context-aware services, a service that Gartner expects will be one of the most disruptive in the next few years. Gartner predicts that the LBS user base will grow globally from 96 million in 2009 to more than 526 million in 2012. LBS is ranked No. 2 in Gartner's top 10 because of its perceived high user value and its influence on user loyalty. Its high user value is the result of its ability to meet a range of needs, ranging from productivity and goal fulfillment to social networking and entertainment.

No. 3: Mobile Search
The ultimate purpose of mobile search is to drive sales and marketing opportunities on the mobile phone. To achieve this, the industry first needs to improve the user experience of mobile search so that people will come back again. Mobile search is ranked No. 3 because of its high impact on technology innovation and industry revenue. Consumers will stay loyal to some search services, but instead of sticking to one or two search providers on the Internet, Gartner expects loyalty on the mobile phone to be shared between a few search providers that have unique technologies for mobile search.

No. 4: Mobile Browsing
Mobile browsing is a widely available technology present on more than 60 percent of handsets shipped in 2009, a percentage Gartner expects to rise to approximately 80 percent in 2013. Gartner has ranked mobile browsing No. 4 because of its broad appeal to all businesses. Mobile Web systems have the potential to offer a good return on investment. They involve much lower development costs than native code, reuse many existing skills and tools, and can be agile — both delivered and updated quickly. Therefore, the mobile Web will be a key part of most corporate business-to-consumer (B2C) mobile strategies.

No. 5: Mobile Health Monitoring
Mobile health monitoring is the use of IT and mobile telecommunications to monitor patients remotely, and could help governments, care delivery organizations (CDOs) and healthcare payers reduce costs related to chronic diseases and improve the quality of life of their patients. In developing markets, the mobility aspect is key as mobile network coverage is superior to fixed network in the majority of developing countries. Currently, mobile health monitoring is at an early stage of market maturity and implementation, and project rollouts have so far been limited to pilot projects. In the future, the industry will be able to monetize the service by offering mobile healthcare monitoring products, services and solutions to CDOs.

No. 6: Mobile Payment
Mobile payment usually serves three purposes. First, it is a way of making payment when few alternatives are available. Second, it is an extension of online payment for easy access and convenience. Third, it is an additional factor of authentication for enhanced security. Mobile payment made Gartner's top 10 list because of the number of parties it affects — including mobile carriers, banks, merchants, device vendors, regulators and consumers — and the rising interest from both developing and developed markets. Because of the many choices of technologies and business models, as well as regulatory requirements and local conditions, mobile payment will be a highly fragmented market. There will not be standard practices of deployment, so parties will need to find a working solution on a case-by-case basis.

No. 7: Near Field Communication Services
Near field communication (NFC) allows contactless data transfer between compatible devices by placing them close to each other, within ten centimeters. The technology can be used, for example, for retail purchases, transportation, personal identification and loyalty cards. NFC is ranked No. 7 in Gartner's top ten because it can increase user loyalty for all service providers, and it will have a big impact on carriers' business models. However, its biggest challenge is reaching business agreement between mobile carriers and service providers, such as banks and transportation companies. Gartner expects to see large-scale deployments starting from late 2010, when NFC phones are likely to ship in volume, with Asia leading deployments followed by Europe and North America.
No. 8: Mobile Advertising
Mobile advertising in all regions is continuing to grow through the economic downturn, driven by interest from advertisers in this new opportunity and by the increased use of smartphones and the wireless Internet. Total spending on mobile advertising in 2008 was $530.2 million, which Gartner expects to will grow to $7.5 billion in 2012. Mobile advertising makes the top 10 list because it will be an important way to monetize content on the mobile Internet, offering free applications and services to end users. The mobile channel will be used as part of larger advertising campaigns in various media, including TV, radio, print and outdoors.

No. 9: Mobile Instant Messaging
Price and usability problems have historically held back adoption of mobile instant messaging (IM), while commercial barriers and uncertain business models have precluded widespread carrier deployment and promotion. Mobile IM is on Gartner's top 10 list because of latent user demand and market conditions that are conducive to its future adoption. It has a particular appeal to users in developing markets that may rely on mobile phones as their only connectivity device. Mobile IM presents an opportunity for mobile advertising and social networking, which have been built into some of the more advanced mobile IM clients.

No. 10: Mobile Music
Mobile music so far has been disappointing — except for ring tones and ring-back tones, which have turned into a multibillion-dollar service. On the other hand, it is unfair to dismiss the value of mobile music, as consumers want music on their phones and to carry it around. We see efforts by various players in coming up with innovative models, such as device or service bundles, to address pricing and usability issues. iTunes makes people pay for music, which shows that a superior user experience does make a difference.

Additional information is available in the Gartner report 'Dataquest Insight: The Top Ten Consumer Mobile Applications for 2012." The report is available on Gartner's website at http://www.gartner.com/resId=1205513.

NEW YORK - Today at Interop New York, Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CTXS) announced the groundbreaking new 'Pay-as-You-Grow' pricing for its Citrix® NetScaler® line of application acceleration, load balancing and web security appliances. Most networking systems require expensive hardware replacements to expand capacity and functionality, which often forces customers to over provision and pay for more than they need at any given time. The new Pay-as-You-Grow pricing from Citrix breaks this dependency, enabling customers to buy only what they need today, knowing they can easily scale up their network as demand grows with a simple software license upgrade. The flexible pricing applies to both high-performance NetScaler® MPX™ hardware appliances as well as the new software-based NetScaler® VPX™ virtual appliances. Instead of making purchase decisions based on unreliable traffic growth projections, NetScaler customers can now purchase a networking solution that meets near-term performance and capacity requirements, with the confidence that they can easily and quickly scale in the future without costly hardware replacements. The new licensing flexibility makes NetScaler an ideal complement to server virtualization, enabling customers to scale overall datacenter capacity in the most efficient way possible.

This same reliability upon scaling infrastructure applies in the enterprise, where traffic demands fluctuate continuously.

'Forecasting datacenter capacity requirements is a tricky proposition for any large company, especially as enterprise networking needs become more dynamic,' said Zeeshan Sabir, director of information technology at Qualcomm Incorporated. 'Citrix NetScaler Pay-as-You-Grow pricing offers some compelling new cost efficiencies that can help simplify the hardware provisioning process.'

'With IT budget growth remaining constrained in the face of macroeconomic uncertainty, any development that will provide greater investment protection is welcomed by customers,' said Cindy Borovick, IDC. 'Unlocking networking performance with a license upgrade takes a benefit once reserved for software products, and applies it to a strategic portion of the networking market.'

In addition to providing investment protection for enterprise customers, NetScaler Pay-as-You-Grow pricing is particularly well suited to cloud computing environments. It enables cloud providers to quickly and affordably expand their infrastructure as performance and capacity requirements dictate, without incurring the heavy fixed costs and service interruptions of hardware upgrades. The unique combination of high-performance Citrix NetScaler MPX hardware appliances and software-based NetScaler VPX virtual appliances enables cloud providers to build a highly flexible infrastructure that can meet the application delivery needs of a single cloud tenant while maximizing the performance and scalability of the entire infrastructure.

'Enterprise cloud deployments require solutions that align to both the financial and technology priorities of the CIO. As a result, we have engineered infrastructure management and hosting services that align with these economics and is a strategic reason why many enterprises and government agencies have chosen Carpathia Hosting,' said Jon Greaves, chief technology officer at Carpathia Hosting. 'With Citrix NetScaler Pay-as-You-Grow, our customers can take advantage of Citrix investment protection as we offer elastic scaling of our complex application and network managed services with an on-demand, simple license upgrade. It is one of the key reasons why we chose Citrix NetScaler over other vendors.'

'The benefits of the NetScaler Pay-as-You-Grow pricing model are especially resonant in today's challenging economic environment where investment protection is essential in managing tight IT budgets,' said Klaus Oestermann, group vice president and general manager of the NetScaler Product Group at Citrix. 'The flexibility and seamless scalability with this adaptable licensing fundamentally changes how companies plan for network capacity and purchase application networking solutions.'

Pricing and Availability
The Pay-as-You-Grow pricing is available today for all NetScaler VPX virtual appliances, as well as for the NetScaler MPX 7500, MPX 9500, MPX 10500 and MPX 12500 hardware appliances. Customers can purchase upgrade licenses through any authorized Citrix Solution Advisor.

PARIS, Cartes & IDentification 2009, Hypercom Corporation (NYSE: HYC) today announced that its Wymix® PIN Pad has received Visa® payWave certification. The Wymix with built-in contactless antenna can be used to process payments made by contactless cards as well as NFC-enabled mobile handsets. The contactless Wymix PIN Pad is deployed with major French retailers.

Contactless payments provide key benefits to retailers and consumers in high transaction volume environments where speed is of the essence, including hypermarkets, quick-service restaurants and gas stations. The processing time for contactless transactions is considerably shorter than for contact card transactions, and the added convenience and efficiency this provides is beneficial to both cardholders and merchants. Additionally, the speed provided by contactless technology is projected to help drive the increased use of loyalty and other value-add applications.

Interest in contactless cards and mobile payment programs is increasing in many European countries and various pilots are in progress throughout the region, organized by banks, mobile phone and public transport operators. In France, several major retailers have chosen to upgrade their systems using the Wymix PIN pad in preparation for the upcoming roll out of contactless cards and NFC mobile payment pilots.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - McAfee, Inc. (NYSE:MFE) today revealed that the global cyberarms race has moved from fiction to reality, according to its fifth annual Virtual Criminology Report. The report found that politically motivated cyberattacks have increased and five countries – the United States, Russia, France, Israel and China – are now armed with cyberweapons.

'McAfee began to warn of the global cyberarms race more than two years ago, but now we're seeing increasing evidence that it's become real,' said Dave DeWalt, McAfee president and CEO. 'Now several nations around the world are actively engaged in cyberwar-like preparations and attacks. Today, the weapons are not nuclear, but virtual, and everyone must adapt to these threats.'

The Virtual Criminology Report includes insights from more than two dozen of the world's leading experts in international relations, including Dr. Jamie Saunders, counselor at the British Embassy in Washington D.C. and security experts with experience at the U.S. National Security Agency and the Australian Attorney-General's Department. Former White House advisor Paul Kurtz compiled the report on McAfee's behalf.

The report for the first time provides a model to define cyberwar, identifies the countries involved in developing cyberoffenses and cyberdefenses, dissects examples of politically-motivated cyberattacks and reveals how the private sector will get caught in the crossfire. Government disclosure is also a major issue, as cyber initiatives and information are often classified by the government, hindering cybercrime defense in the public and private sector.

Experts call for a clear definition and an open debate on cyberwarfare. Without an open discussion among the government, private sector and the public, future cyberattacks targeting critical infrastructure could be devastating.

This year's report identifies the following challenges:

* Cyberwarfare is a Reality – Over the past year, the increase in politically motivated cyberattacks has raised alarm and caution, with targets including the White House, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Secret Service and Department of Defense in the U.S. alone. Nation-states are actively developing cyberwarfare capabilities and involved in the cyberarms race, targeting government networks and critical infrastructures. The result of a cyberattack of this nature can result in physical damage and death –it's not just a war between computers, cyberwarfare can cause real devastation.
* Cyberweapons Are Targeting Critical Infrastructure – Attackers are not only building their cyberdefenses, but cyberoffenses, targeting infrastructure such as power grids, transportation, telecommunication, finance and water supplies, because damage can be done quickly and with little effort. In most developed countries, critical infrastructure is connected to the Internet and lacks proper security functions, leaving these installations vulnerable to attacks. Without the appropriate protection combined with the current lack of preparedness, an attack on these infrastructures would be detrimental and will cause more destruction than any previous attacks.
* Cyberwar is Undefined – Cyberwarfare entangles so many different actors in so many different ways that the rules of engagement are not clearly defined. Additionally, there is debate on how much responsibility should be placed on organizations to protect and educate the public on preventing cyberattacks. Without a proper definition in place, it is nearly impossible to determine when a political response or threat of military action is warranted.
* Private Sector is the Most at Risk – Critical infrastructure is privately-owned in many developed countries, making it a huge target for cyberwarfare. The private sector relies heavily on the government to prevent cyberattacks. If virtual shooting starts, governments, corporations and private citizens may get caught in the crossfire. Without insight into the government's cyberdefense strategy, the private sector is not able to be proactive and take the proper precautions. Experts call for a public discussion on cyberwarfare, bringing it out of the shadows.

'Over the next 20 to 30 years, cyberattacks will increasingly become a component of war,' William Crowell, a former Deputy Director of the U.S. National Security Agency, is quoted as saying in the Virtual Criminology Report. 'What I can't foresee is whether networks will be so pervasive and unprotected that cyber war operations will stand alone.'

The research underscores Rackspace's recent launch of No More Servers, a campaign and community dedicated to a new way of buying IT which includes managed hosting, cloud computing and email hosting. The new service has been created to help free businesses from the hassle of in-house server management and to enable them to instead shift their focus onto mission critical applications, core competencies and innovation. Rackspace is augmenting this initiative with Rackspace.co.uk/NoMoreServers, a location for companies to learn the benefits of hosting services.

The study, conducted by LoudHouse on behalf of Rackspace, investigated the views of more than 441 IT managers at mid-size enterprises and revealed that approximately one third of their IT staff's time is spent on server management, which is liable to limit their ability to focus on strategic initiatives that could benefit the business. Fifty eight percent of respondents cited the 'hassle of managing servers' as a challenge for their organization, while 61% of IT managers said 'time to drive innovation' was a challenge.

Additionally, on-site servers were seen to also cause 'server stress' for IT managers, who cited 'the need to be available 24x7', 'hardware issues and maintenance', and 'after-hours calls and issues' as the top three server management issues. The survey also found that 51% of respondents have made mistakes in their server capacity planning. Fifteen percent have bought too many servers and 36% have failed to buy enough. This leaves businesses exposed to the risks of financial waste and the inability to cope with user demand by not getting server spending right the first time.

The survey also revealed that 35% of companies identify themselves as 'proactive and slightly ahead of the curve' when it comes to describing their approach to new technologies, while 28% remain 'cautious and reactive.' When it comes to hosting and cloud computing, barriers to adoption include assurances of reliability (29%), evidence of cost savings (28%) and assurances of security (27%).

"IT should be an enabler," said Lanham Napier, president and chief executive officer of Rackspace Hosting. "The survey seems to reveal that a huge chunk of time and resources are spent keeping the lights on and preventing problems. Rackspace, with its world class Fanatical Support, can free organizations from the hassle of server management and enable their IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives that will positively impact the business."

About the Survey
Rackspace's online survey research was conducted in September 2009 and involved 441 US and UK-based IT decision-makers at companies with 100-500 employees.

About Rackspace Hosting
Rackspace Hosting is the world's leader in hosting, cloud computing and dedicated servers and has been ranked in the Financial Times Top 50 Great Place to Work in the United Kingdom for the past five years.

For marketers and businesses getting into the online marketing game (but with no clue about how to succeed), No Starch Press offers Friends with Benefits: A Social Media Marketing Handbook (November 2009, 304 pp, $24.95, ISBN 9781593271992). A tactical guide filled with tricks, tips, and real-world case studies, Friends with Benefits shows marketers how to increase their companies' visibility and traffic—and win over the new online influencers. Readers learn how to create viral campaigns, craft a compelling social media pitch, and market effectively within daunting social media channels.

Readers learn from the pros. Authors Darren Barefoot and Julie Szabo have specialized in social media for years, beginning with their first blogger outreach program in 2002. Barefoot and Szabo have been using (and teaching) social media marketing full time ever since, and they know from experience that shrewdly applied alternative marketing tactics can offer great results at low cost. "In 2009, advertising and marketing budgets are shrinking, not growing," said author Julie Szabo. "Used effectively, marketing in channels like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter can compensate for that reduced budget."

Friends with Benefits teaches readers how to:

* Get started with the who, what, where, why, and when of social media marketing
* Find potential customers and join their conversation
* Tweak their websites to support their social media marketing campaigns
* Promote their products or brand and manage the toughest negative feedback
* Track marketing campaigns, monitor discussions, and measure success
* Work with sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, MySpace, Digg, and StumbleUpon, and make sense of the new ones that pop up daily

The rules of marketing have changed. With viral videos racking up millions of views and Twitter mavens influencing tens of thousands of their friends, social media marketing is unquestionably here. The expert authors of Friends with Benefits teach readers how to market effectively inside intimidating social media channels, where honesty and connections are far more important than the size of the marketing budget—and real results are just a few clicks away.

Stephen Juth, a leading expert in AdWords keyword research stated: 'Though keyword research and spy tools have gotten considerably better over the past few years, there is still a tremendous lack in this area since they encompass only one or two steps of the entire workflow for building profitable AdWords campaigns. AdWordAccelerator addresses this issue head on by not only pulling keyword data efficiently from SEMRush, but by empowering advertisers to get at the results they need quickly and turn them into well-built AdWords campaigns.'

SEOQuake, a leading SEO technology provider, developed SEMRush to help online marketers expand their reach by giving a lens into which keywords (both PPC and SEO) are benefiting the top ranked players and advertisers within virtually any industry.

According to Juth; 'We chose SEMRush for AdWordAccelerator due to its fast results, inexpensive price, and detailed cross linking among their own data metrics. This last feature allows marketers to segment a competitor's keywords in ways that most other keyword spy tools fail to provide.'

So far results are impressive. Keywords can be obtained across a variety of domains in AdWordAccelerator (via SEMRush) within a few minutes, and then the most relevant results can be extracted within just a few seconds. This data can then be used for further keyword analysis or campaign building within one of AdWordAccelerator's other powerful keyword research tools.

To see how these two tools work together, readers can watch an online demo at http://www.adwordaccelerator.com/semrush.

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA – AFRICACOM — Sybase 365, a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY),the global leader in mobile messaging and mobile commerce, today announced it is working with MoPay, an independent mobile services provider for the banking, telecoms and technology industries, to enable diverse communities in South Africa to access mobile commerce services.

This partnership will improve access to financial services for the under-serviced and un-banked communities of South Africa – individuals that would ordinarily struggle to connect with traditional banking and commerce mechanisms due to geographical or sociological barriers. Aimed primarily at lower to middle social groupings that are dependent on services provided in municipalities, it will also facilitate enhanced efficiency of payment collection for government bodies, utilities providers and educational organisations.

Sybase 365 is managing all of the messaging interconnection for the service using a dedicated SMS short-code - 31636 - that functions across all South African operator networks. Sybase 365 also provides the mobile payments platform, to process all financial transactions between the customer and the government and corporate entities.

'It is very rewarding to be at the forefront of a project which can really make a profound difference to the lives of people in South Africa. So many people are faced with a half day round trip to reach services that they can now access using a network independent, ubiquitous mCommerce service. It would be difficult for a farmer to give up a day tending his farm to go to visit his bank,' said Cobus Potgieter, CEO, MoPay. 'Our partnership with Sybase 365 enables us to extend mobile-based service offerings to many more diverse, under-privileged and remote communities.'

'Projects such as this are changing the way in which South Africans can transact with key organisations,' said Matthew Talbot, vice president, mCommerce at Sybase 365. 'Significant numbers of unbanked individuals across South Africa, who have no formal relationship with a financial institution, can now easily pay for a variety of core services, and receive disbursements via the efficient and trusted mobile channel.'

The initial service provides real-time electricity pre-pay meter recharge for Eskom (the South African electricity public utility) and various municipalities using the MoPay mobile wallet running on a network independent platform. The service is designed to enable lower income consumers to easily manage their electricity payments by way of micro-payments and help municipalities and public utilities improve payment efficiencies. A key element of the service is to facilitate the distribution of Free Basic Electricity tokens (tokens distributed by the government to low-income households), sent by SMS to registered meter owners, thus improving the accessibility of this vital state benefit to poorer households. In future MoPay intends to add a variety of innovative social payment and disbursement schemes to the portfolio, with a significant focus on assisting the government of South Africa and socially targeted corporations to disburse and collect funds.

Although a commercial trading entity, MoPay is a unique organisation that focuses on the social needs of communities in an inclusive manner. As well as providing this payment mechanism, MoPay also facilitates other services vital to thriving villages and communities, such as free communications, free SMS between schools and parents and free content for schools and students. For example, the supply of 30 minutes free and uncapped Internet time at Vlocity Hotspots all over South Africa to MoPay users.
