     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ann Arbor, MI &#8211; February 2, 2012</p>

<p>During February, users can get A2 Hosting&#39;s Core<a href="http://www.a2hosting.com/services/vps-hosting/?utm_source=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_medium=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=$1vpsPR" target="_blank"  > VPS Hosting</a> package for just $1. Customers interested in the offer should add the Core VPS package to their shopping cart, choose a 3-month billing cycle and use the coupon &#34;$1VPS&#34;. This discount is available to the first 100 new A2 Hosting VPS customers (one VPS per user and not available retroactively).</p>

<p>A2 Hosting&#39;s VPSes provide an excellent platform for developers. For ultimate control, each VPS account offers root access. When purchasing a VPS, A2 Hosting also gives users the option to choose their Linux operating system. Options range from CentOS, Fedora, Ubuntu and more. A2 Hosting also recently released a brand new CentOS with Kloxo template. Users selecting this template will receive a VPS with the popular <a href="http://www.a2hosting.com/control-panel/kloxo-hosting?utm_source=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_medium=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=$1vpsPR" target="_blank"  >Kloxo</a> control panel pre-installed. </p>

<p>Another feature setting A2 Hosting&#39;s VPS apart from other providers is their A2 QuickInstaller. The A2 QuickInstaller is a huge time saver for developers because it auto-installs some of the most popular resources to the VPS. Just a few of the tools available include <a href="http://www.a2hosting.com/server-software/nginx-hosting?utm_source=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;utm_medium=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;utm_campaign=$1vpsPR" target="_blank"  >nginx</a>, <a href="http://www.a2hosting.com/database/mongodb-hosting?utm_source=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_medium=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=$1vpsPR" target="_blank"  >MongoDB</a> and <a href="http://www.a2hosting.com/web-development/mantis-hosting?utm_source=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_medium=$1vpsPR&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;utm_campaign=$1vpsPR" target="_blank"  >Mantis</a>.</p>

<p>A2 Hosting&#39;s Marketing Manager Brad Litwin commented on the promotion, &#34;Our VPS packages are specially designed for developers whether they have a work project or they just want to get in and play. There are loads of features including your choice of OS, the A2 QuickInstaller, root access and  it&#39;s all topped off with ultimate reliability. For a dollar for a full 3-months of service, it&#39;s the perfect opportunity to see how awesome our VPS solution really is&#34;.</p>

<p>Customers using this discount will save a total of $40.85 on their VPS. Users requiring a larger VPS may use the $1VPS coupon and receive the same dollar amount off all other VPS packages, including Managed VPS.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TestiVar, the global leader for advertising solutions based on science, recently released TestiVar Advertising Professional Edition which allows online businesses to test advertising copy for profitability in advance of ad placement.</p>

<p>According to the TestiVar business briefing, there is still a gap between small business owners and the ability to access the global marketplace on the Internet, but TestiVar aims to change that.</p>

<p>Allowing small business owners to quickly and easily test their proposed advertisements before investing their hard earned capital will not only increase profitability, but will also allow even the smallest online business to compete with enterprise level competitive data.</p>

<p>Many companies are already using analytics and multivariate testing software to ensure a constantly improving advertising message, but most haven&#39;t been able to harness that capability without investing hard earned capital during their start up phase.  In addition, most new start-ups have a very limited amount of capital to invest in live tests.</p>

<p>TestiVar Advertising Professional Edition provides the tools to eliminate up to 85% of live real-world testing by comparing proposed advertisements with a massive database of known profitable and known unprofitable advertisements.</p>

<p>These tests are performed in-house in seconds and virtually eliminate the necessity of running test campaigns using real money.  As a result, they will be better equipped to optimize an advertisement for profitability before valuable investment capital is expended.</p>

<p>The software provides a score that can be used as a benchmark as different versions of advertisements are explored.  A higher score indicates that an advertisement is more similar to profitable ads than unprofitable ads.</p>

<p>Since it takes only seconds to score an advertisement, hundreds of proposed variants can be explored in a single day by one marketing professional.  The alternative can be months of testing different ads in the real world with real world money.</p>

<p>To get more information about the TestiVar Advertising Software, visit</p>

<p>TestiVar.com</p>

<p>About the Company</p>

<p>As the global leader for advertising solutions based on science, TestiVar delivers products and services with the goal of improving business profitability by using data rather than guesses.</p>

<p>Today, the company has helped over 20,000 customers use science and data to improve their business profitability.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152285 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ADV">Advertising / Marketing</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=BUA">Business Announcements</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=STW">Computer Software</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ITE">Internet Technology</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=PUB">Publishing / Information Services</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Internet-Technology/~4/FEYdAvEszfE" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <title>FreeAgent Alerts tool puts accountants on the front foot</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>FreeAgent, the online accounting pioneer, has launched a new Alerts tool enabling accountants to automatically track their clients&#39; finances and highlight in real-time areas of opportunity or concern.</p>

<p>FreeAgent Alerts allows accountants to set-up customised alerts to monitor their clients&#39; account activity for transactions and entries that may warrant closer examination. By using Alerts, accountants will also be able to take a more proactive approach in helping their clients keep on top of their finances, and ensure that potential issues are spotted and acted on sooner rather than later.</p>

<p>The new feature is available exclusively through the accountant&#39;s existing dashboard, which presents an at-a-glance view of all of their clients on the FreeAgent platform and a portal to drill into the specifics of any one of their accounts.</p>

<p>Because FreeAgent offers accounting software online specifically and has been seamlessly integrated into the IRIS accounts production solution, it also provides better accessibility for users and a significant reduction in time spent on manual or paper based processes.</p>

<p>FreeAgent believes that Alerts is a major breakthrough in cloud accounting and a first for the industry. Ed Molyneux, CEO and co-founder of FreeAgent, explained: &#34;Alerts will enable accountants to immediately focus on advising and providing insight to their clients, rather than having to spend a lot of time doing more manual monitoring. It puts them on the front foot and helps them to be more proactive in advising their clients.&#34;</p>

<p>FreeAgent collaborated with a number of accountants and accounting firms on the development of Alerts including Freelance World, which provides a full range small business accounting software across the UK. </p>

<p>Alasdair McGill, Managing Director of Freelance World, said: &#34;Online accountancy has revolutionised the way accountants work with their clients and FreeAgent&#39;s latest Alerts tool goes even further to help us keep on top of our clients&#39; accounts. Alerts will give us the ability to monitor our clients&#39; accounts on a daily basis, giving them peace of mind that we&#39;re watching the numbers.  I&#39;d like to congratulate FreeAgent on how far they&#39;ve come over the last year to give us a great all-round product that will help us to do a better job for our clients.&#34;</p>

<p>FreeAgent is available to accountancy practices throughout the UK via the company&#39;s close partnership with IRIS Software where FreeAgent powers the IRIS OpenBooks solution, a key component of the OpenApps suite. With the company&#39;s clear insight and knowledge of the accountancy marketplace, IRIS was involved throughout the planning and development process of Alerts.  </p>

<p>Commenting on the latest initiative, Phill Robinson, CEO of IRIS Accountancy Services said:  &#34;Both IRIS and FreeAgent share the drive to constantly innovate and improve our offering to our customers. Alerts is one more reason for accountancy professionals everywhere to evaluate the benefits a shift to online accounting software could bring to their own firms and their clients.&#34;</p>

<p>- Ends -</p>

<p>About FreeAgent:<br />Edinburgh-based independent FreeAgent has pioneered online accounting since the launch of its service in 2007. It has rapidly grown a loyal community of freelancers and small businesses, who pay either monthly or annually for access to its software offering many easy to use features, including an invoice template.</p>

<p>In a survey, 99.5% of FreeAgent users said they would recommend the software to others, and the service won the prize for Best Newcomer at the 2009 SIFT Media Software Satisfaction Awards. In 2010 it won the SIFT SME Accounting and Finance Software Satisfaction Award, beating all of its desktop and web-based competitors to take the title. The company also offers a free accountancy software trial to those who may be interested in the company&#39;s products.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>LOS ANGELES, CA -- January 31, 2012</strong>  <a href="http://www.socialrewards.com" target="_blank"  >Social Rewards</a>, a social loyalty platform, has closed an oversubscribed seed round of angel funding totaling $600,000. The company was self-funded for a year with $250,000 from <a href="http://socialrewards.com/About/" target="_blank"  >founders</a> Joseph Morin and Mike Uesugi before raising any outside capital, and exceeded its original funding goal of $500,000.<br /> <br />Social Rewards provides a brand&#39;s customers with loyalty points for engaging in social media activity via Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, and YouTube. Points may be earned, deposited, redeemed, donated, or transferred into a &#39;bank&#39; built on the Social Rewards platform.<br /> <br />Two thirds of Social Rewards&#39; seed round was funded by members of Tech Coast Angels, the largest angel network in the United States, including the TCA ACE Fund, the Angels&#39; new rapid accelerated funding arm. Other high-profile investors include Jeff Lapin, former CEO of Starwood Hotels, Stuart Larkins, part of the Performics founding management team, Kelly Perdew, previous LinkedIn advisor, co-founder &amp; CEO TargetClose, and winner of Apprentice 2, Mi Ventures, and K5<a href="http://angel.co/k5vp" target="_blank"  > </a>Venture Partners.<br /> <br />Many of the company&#39;s angel funding introductions were facilitated via <a href="http://angel.co/social-rewards" target="_blank"  >AngelList</a> a social network of entrepreneurs and investors. <br /> <br />Social Rewards combines social media, affiliate marketing, and loyalty rewards to help companies identify brand advocates and increase social engagement. The platform is now available in the United States and Japan and is written in unicode, making implementation possible in any country or language. The startup is already seeing revenue in both markets and has recently secured six-figure contracts.<br /> <br />&#34;In our initial launch market of Las Vegas, we&#39;ve already achieved an 80% market share of hotel casinos using the Social Rewards program on the Strip,&#34; says Morin. &#34;We&#39;re very pleased to also announce new client wins including Caesars Entertainment with a global roll out to 52 resorts and casinos, and an expanded presence with MGM Resorts coming out of beta from their early adoption of our platform.&#39;<br /> <br />Primarily in travel and hospitality now, Social Rewards has immediate plans to roll out to new markets and <a href="http://socialrewards.com/Participate/" target="_blank"  >industries</a> including entertainment and consumer product sectors.<br /> <br />At the core of Social Rewards is the ability to capture ROI from social media via a tracking URL. This capability allows companies to follow brand messages and engagement throughout the lifecycle of a tweet or Facebook post all the way to sales conversion where additional points may be awarded providing additional incentive.  Full analytics reporting of brand mentions, clickthroughs, retweets, shares, and sales conversions are available through an administrative dashboard.<br /> <br /><strong>About Social Rewards </strong><br />Social Rewards is a new social loyalty company based in Torrance, CA, founded by Joseph Morin and Mike Uesugi, veterans of the digital industry with a combined experience level of over 25 years. Social Rewards is a cohesive blend of social media, affiliate marketing and loyalty rewards programs rewarding consumer brand advocates with loyalty program points for social media activity.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Aspire Medical Solutions is a business that specializes in supplying physicians with various medical devices and diagnostic services. They are dedicated to assisting all types of medical practices in with the most technologically advanced medical equipment and diagnostic testing available.  Their goal is to improve patient care while improving the medical practice&#39;s overall net profit.  One of the products provided by Aspire Medical Solutions is the Allscripts MyWay electronic health record and practice management solution. </p>

<p>What are electronic health records, you may ask? Electronic health records are a digital copy of a patient&#39;s medical history, including known allergies, demographics, immunization records, laboratory results, radiology images, vital signs, age, weight and billing information. Storing health records in this way helps to reduce cost by saving paper. </p>

<p>Aspire Medical Solutions also offers a broad range of equipment and testing. One example of the types of testing and equipment they offer is the VAT-ENG for dizziness, vertigo, and fall prevention. The &amp;#8203;&amp;#8203;VAT-ENG is similar to the VNG equipment but clinically more significant.  </p>

<p>This equipment is used when testing for vertigo. This vertigo testing equipment is a must have for any Internal Medicine, Family Practice, and Ear, Nose &amp; Throat Specialist. </p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Glasgow, UK based company Endrick IT operating since 2005, today announced that it will be providing <a href="http://www.endrickit.com/leased-line.aspx" target="_blank"  >low cost leased lines </a>without compromising service availability, speed or customer service. Endrick IT goes further by discounting larger bandwidth leased lines and waiving installation and equipment costs over longer contract periods.</p>

<p>Endrick IT&#39;s 2Mb to 1Gb leased circuits are suitable for any UK business with a growing dependency on reliable internet connectivity requirements including; Direct Internet Access (DIA), Point to Point (P2P), MPLS VPNs &#8211;important components when sending internet data or VoIP Data across wire.</p>

<p>MD, Mr E Edward-Smith said; &#39;We must be in the position to provide customers with affordable connectivity solutions that remain reliable at all times. Leased Lines play a big part in reducing business costs; one example is eliminating the requirement of multiple ISDN channels for traditional PBX phone systems and allowing cloud hosted VoIP systems. Another example is larger up streaming speeds (wider bandwidth) giving more remote users a faster experience&#39;</p>

<p>Mr E Edward-Smith went on to say; &#39;Customers purchasing <a href="http://www.endrickit.com/leased-line.aspx" target="_blank"  >Leased Lines </a>including Ethernet First Mile (EFM) who also commit to a &#39;3 Year Contract&#39; are rewarded by not having to pay any installation costs or any associated equipment costs.  This makes our service more accessible for those businesses with constrained budgets&#39;.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.endrickit.com" target="_blank"  >Endrick IT&#39;s</a> main office is located in Glasgow, with engineers based in every major UK city, <a href="http://www.endrickit.com/blog" target="_blank"  >Endrick IT</a> are able to provide and support up to 1Gb circuits in all regions throughout the country.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152213 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=NET">Computer Networks</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ITE">Internet Technology</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=TLS">Telecommunications</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Internet-Technology/~4/ffFwLM3cCMk" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <title>Multiven Files Antitrust Complaint Against Cisco Systems with Swiss Competition Commission</title>
     <link>http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=152133</link>
     <pubDate>Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:14:24 EST</pubDate>
     <description><![CDATA[ZURICH, Switzerland. &#8211; Monday, January 30, 2012,  Multiven  GmbH (&#39;Multiven&#39;) today filed an antitrust complaint against  Cisco Systems  (&#39;Cisco&#39;) with the [url=http://www.weko.admin.ch/...]]></description>
     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ZURICH, Switzerland. &#8211; Monday, January 30, 2012, <a href="http://www.multiven.com" target="_blank"  >Multiven</a> GmbH (&#39;Multiven&#39;) today filed an antitrust complaint against <a href="http://www.cisco.com/" target="_blank"  >Cisco Systems</a> (&#39;Cisco&#39;) with the <a href="http://www.weko.admin.ch/index.html?lang=en" target="_blank"  >Swiss Competition Commission</a>, in an effort to open up the network maintenance services marketplace for Cisco equipment, promote free and fair competition while enhancing consumer choice and value. Multiven&#39;s complaint alleges that Cisco abuses its dominant position to harm consumers by bundling and tying software bug fixes, patches and updates (&#34;software updates&#34;) for its operating system and application software to its maintenance services (&#39;SMARTnet&#39;) and through a series of other illegal exclusionary and anti-competitive acts designed to maintain Cisco&#39;s monopoly in the network maintenance services market for Cisco networking equipment, which represents 75% of the world&#39;s Internet infrastructure.&amp;#8232;&amp;#8232;</p>

<p>The complaint recites that instead of making these necessary software updates available to all customers that have purchased its operating system and application software licenses, as does Apple, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft and many others, Cisco makes these software updates only available to those customers that have purchased its SMARTnet service.&amp;#8232;&amp;#8232;The complaint further alleges that Cisco also engages in a series of illegal exclusionary and anti-competitive acts such as (but not limited to);<br /><br />
<ul><li>Cisco coercing its 52,000 reseller partners to refuse-to-deal with Multiven and not resell better quality and/or lower cost services from Multiven &#8211; an Independent Service Organization (&#39;ISO&#39;) &#8211; that competes with Cisco SMARTnet,</li><li>Cisco voiding the software licenses of customers that install their valid Cisco software on genuine Cisco equipment procured from Cisco-independent sources.</li></ul><br />
<br /> <br />These acts aimed at preventing competitors like Multiven from servicing Cisco networking equipment have had the following anti-competitive and injurious effects in the Swiss marketplace for Internet network services:<br /><br />
<ul><li>Competition in the market for service and maintenance of Cisco networking equipment has been suppressed and virtually eliminated. Additionally, ISOs have been effectively precluded from competing for and earning profits on the servicing of Cisco networking equipment.</li><li>Customers have been deprived choice and forced to purchase Cisco SMARTnet maintenance services over that of substantially better quality and/or lower priced maintenance services from ISOs like Multiven; and</li><li>Consumers have been harmed because supracompetitive prices have been maintained and increased, and the quantity, quality and choice of service offerings in the marketplace has been reduced and constrained.</li></ul><br />
<br /> <br />Multiven&#39;s requested remedies are intended to give consumers greater freedom, choice and cost savings while ensuring that the network maintenance services marketplace develops into an open, fair and competitive industry where Cisco competes solely based on the quality and value of its services.&amp;#8232;&amp;#8232;</p>

<p>Multiven is represented by <a href="http://www.swlegal.ch" target="_blank"  >Schellenberg Wittmer</a> - led by Dr. Jürg Borer and Dr. Juhani Kostka.</p>

<p>&amp;#8232;&amp;#8232;About Multiven&amp;#8232;<br />Headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, Multiven is the leading provider of affordable maintenance services for all Internet networks. Through its advocacy group, Multiven is leading a global industry-wide effort to open up the multi-Billion dollar per annum Internet network maintenance services marketplace to free and fair competition which will lead to lower operational and capital expenditure for network operators and a reduced Internet voice, video, TV and data costs for consumers.

     <title>Web Hosting Becoming A Huge Industry For Bloggers, Entrepreneurs</title>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Online blogging and entrepreneurship has exploded over the last several years. Many of these self-made entrepreneurs, bloggers and publishers have typically hosted their websites and blogs on third-party websites, such as Google&#39;s Blogspot and hosted blogs at Wordpress.com.</p>

<p>However, in recent months, many of these third-party hosting websites have started to remove, without notice, entire websites that they believe violates their terms of service or that contains any content that they don&#39;t approve of.</p>

<p>&#34;It doesn&#39;t matter how popular your website was, or how much content you had published on it, big companies like Google are quick to completely eliminate entire websites that they believe don&#39;t meet their guidelines,&#34; explains Robert Fuller, one of the founders of WebHostingCheck.org, a resource for finding reliable web hosting. &#34;You run a big risk of losing everything if you rely on free third-party hosting providers.&#34;</p>

<p>As a result of the widespread banning of user accounts and websites, more people are turning to paid hosting providers to host their websites so that publishers can be entirely self-sufficient and not risk losing everything they put onto their website.</p>

<p>&#34;Traffic to WebHostingCheck.org has steadily increased over the last several months because more publishers and bloggers are realizing they need to be independent,&#34; Fuller says. &#34;There are a lot of web hosts out there, but only a couple are truly considered the best in the industry. The rest are a waste of your time and money.&#34;</p>

<p>Many prospective entrepreneurs and bloggers don&#39;t realize that <a href="http://webhostingcheck.org" target="_blank"  >web hosting</a> is actually very cheap.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Corlif has unveiled its new social networking site that is uniquely designed as a social network for family values and humane principles. It debuted online in October, 2011 and has made a point since that time of creating a social network that infuses a humanitarian aspect into the pursuit of creating online friendships. </p>

<p>Many distinct features can be found at Corlif that help make it the ultimate charity social network. These features let people serve other people directly or indirectly. Corlif members can use a feature called Write to Santa that lets them share problems and ask for help from other people on the network. The charity feature allows Corlif members to offer donations of money, goods or other forms of assistance to active non-profit organizations operating throughout the world. </p>

<p>Any network member can register as a philanthropist through using the apply for philanthropist feature. This feature turns Corlif into a true charity network site and not just another social network. The site&#39;s commitment to make the world a better place makes it a perfect family network site for all families. </p>

<p>The Corlif experience can be personalized through the desktop e-Journal feature. Corlif members can download software that allows them to chronicle their activities and experiences and upload them on the site to share with the rest of their online community.</p><p>&mdash; WebWireID152065 &mdash;</p><div class="related" style="float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ENT">Entertainment</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=ITE">Internet Technology</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=LSS">Lifestyle / Society</a></li><li><a href="http://www.webwire.com/industry-news.asp?indu=MLM">Multimedia / Online / Internet</a></li></ul></div><div class="terms" style="clear:both; float:left; margin-right:10px; margin-bottom:10px;"><a href="http://www.webwire.com">WebWire&reg;</a> | <a href="http://www.webwire.com/webwire-industries-rss-feeds.asp">More Feeds</a></div><br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WebWire-News-Internet-Technology/~4/6A9as0XlscA" height="1" width="1"/>]]></content:encoded>

     <description><![CDATA[Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a leading UK web hosting provider, today announced the launch of Fasthosts Review Site, www.fasthostsreviews.com, a resource website dedicated to customer comments on its products and services.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fasthosts Internet Ltd, a leading UK web hosting provider, today announced the launch of Fasthosts Review Site, <a href="http://www.fasthostsreviews.com" target="_blank">www.fasthostsreviews.com</a>, a resource website dedicated to customer comments on its products and services. Fasthosts&#39; review site is separate to the Fasthosts homepage and provides a platform for sharing genuine experiences of using Fasthosts services and providing feedback directly to the company.  The move is another step in the development of the provider&#39;s customer care programme and reflects a strong pride in its products and commitment to honest and transparent communication with its customers.   </p>

<p>An increasing number of Britons are participating in online forums and review websites to discuss their experiences of products and services they have purchased. Recent research by Fasthosts found that 1 in 3 British consumers have posted negative material online relating to a company or product, most commonly on social networking sites such as Facebook. The web hosting sector in particular has many reviews websites. However, few web hosting comparison websites clearly display who is running the website, if they have any involvement with hosting companies, and what their policies are for filtering good or bad reviews of certain providers.</p>

<p>Fasthosts&#39; review site displays customer experiences and comments unedited and the company will only edit public posts if they are clearly abusive or breaching confidentiality or data laws. Thus, visitors can be assured that the portal will provide a balanced and unfiltered view on what Fasthosts has to offer. The website is intended to be a useful resource for the customer in their researching of web solutions and web hosting vendors.  </p>

<p>The Fasthosts review site uses a dedicated URL - <a href="http://www.fasthostsreviews.com" target="_blank">www.fasthostsreviews.com</a> - and offers an efficient way to read absolutely genuine customer feedback, structured by product category and accepting reviews on each product.  </p>

<p>Stephen Holford, Marketing Director, Fasthosts Internet, commented: &#34;Fasthosts is one of the first within the technology industry to actively promote the use of such a review site. Whilst many firms shy away from the spotlight, we are proud of our brand and products and confident that they will speak for themselves. The website will provide a balanced, useful resource to the market and be a great way for us to learn about our customer experience.&#34;</p>

<p>By hearing first-hand what the company is doing right and wrong, Fasthosts aims to enhance value and quality for all its users, while listening to them for requests for new features or services.  </p>

<p>Holford continued: &#34;Within the highly-fragmented web hosting market, there are few portals where the customer can be assured that content is in no way influenced or shifted by commercial interests. Today, Fasthosts provides this with the launch of our review site and we actively encourage other hosting providers to do the same.&#34;</p>

<p>As a leading web hosting provider and Technology Sponsor of The Great Exhibition 2012, Fasthosts offers a comprehensive range of web services including domain name registration, VPS, online backup solutions, hosted exchange and feature-rich broadband packages. Full details can be found at <a href="http://www.fasthosts.co.uk" target="_blank">www.fasthosts.co.uk</a>.</p>

<p><br />&#39;Our goal is to offer a video platform that allows creatives total control and is above all easy to integrate with their video projects.&#39; says Ian Snead, VP Sales &amp; Marketing for vzaar.  &#39;This partnership with Getty Images demonstrates how vzaar successfully makes the web video process as simple as possible.  We handle the behind the scene technology challenges of compression format conversions, as well as facilitating distribution, and sharing, enabling creative professionals to do what they do best &#8211; tell an engaging story that tugs at our hearts, stimulates our minds, and amazes our eyes.&#39;</p>

<p><br />&#39;We have enlisted vzaar to do all the heavy lifting for our Mishmash contest and minisite,&#39; says Gillesz Schippers, Marketing Manager, Getty Images.  &#39;vzaar provides an easy to use submission platform for Mishmash participants, enabling them to upload videos in almost any format, image size and frame shape, with  vzaar technology transforming the files so they appear in the right format on our microsite.  An additional benefit is that once the video entry is posted, it is easy for site visitors to find and watch the various video entries, as well as share them through social media.&#39;<br /> <br /><strong>About vzaar</strong></p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LightEdge adds value to the HNc Network through secure Cloud Computing services</p>

<p><strong>DES MOINES, IA, January 25, 2011 &#8211; </strong>LightEdge Solutions is pleased to announce that it has completed the necessary network egress to allow HealthNet connect-affiliated hospitals and clinics to access enterprise-grade Cloud Computing services over the fiber-optic network initiated by Iowa Health Systems.  HNc members can now leverage the true potential of this high-speed network by tapping into secure, managed cloud IT services, such as, Virtual Servers, Data Storage and Backup platforms, Unified Communications and Network Security hosted from LightEdge&#39;s state-of-the-art data center in Altoona, IA. LightEdge is currently the only certified vendor able to offer managed IT services over the HNc network. </p>

<p>HealthNet connect offers hospitals and clinics bandwidth speeds up to 100 Mbps to ensure that rural and urban healthcare facilities alike have access to the necessary infrastructure and bandwidth to readily exchange healthcare information, images and video to provide collaborative care for patients.   The ability to utilize such a network allows care groups involving multiple locations to make better decisions about how to deliver IT services and the location of data storage.</p>

<p>&#39;With the sensitivity and high availability needs of the data related to healthcare,&#39; said Jeff Springborn, president and chief operating officer of LightEdge Solutions. &#39;The physical and virtual security methods implemented at our data center facilities give LightEdge a unique position to impact the medical community of Iowa by offering access to secure and less costly IT platforms that can be shared across a multitude of clinic sites.&#39;</p>

<p>The 3,200-mile fiber optic network provides services to Iowa Health System&#39;s 11 largest hospitals and some network rural hospitals, operating at a 99.999 percent reliability rate and processing more than 8 million transactions per day. The network runs throughout Iowa and spans four states, with direct fiber connections to major metropolitan cities such as Chicago and Denver.</p>

<p>&#39;I was very impressed with how quickly (LightEdge) configured the HNc connection, said Dennis Blazek, IT manager for Clarke County Hospital. &#39;Their whole technical team has been easy to work with and actually working at the (LightEdge data center) has been much easier than I thought it would be.&#39;</p>

<p>LightEdge has also been selected as the data center to house the infrastructure for Iowa&#39;s Health Information Exchange.  The synergy related to LightEdge&#39;s involvement with both HIE and HealthNet connect will, over time, enable healthcare entities in Iowa to become more progressive with the use of Information Technology.  The result of which will be an increase in shared medical information, better patient outcomes and reduced costs through shared IT platforms.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New York, NY -- Award winning mixtape producer DJ Sure Shot has recently put on another hat in the mixtape arena as site owner of Dopebox.net, a free mixtape downlads site at (<a href="http://www.dopebox.net" target="_blank">http://www.dopebox.net</a>). The site features a mix of both <a href="http://www.dopebox.net/" target="_blank"  >new mixtape downloads</a> and throwbacks from hip hop, R&amp;B, funk, jazz, electro, house, indie rock and reggae, among other genres. Site visitors can listen to all the <a href="http://www.dopebox.net/" target="_blank"  >free music mixtapes</a> before downloading, rate their selections and view recommendations based on ear candy they already enjoy.</p>

<p>According to Shot, &#39;We&#39;re one of the only mixtape websites that carries an ever increasing collection of new mixtape releases along with an extensive collection from the 80&#39;s and 90&#39;s. I wanted this to be a site a true mixtape enthusiast could fall in love with... but also a place where newcomers can expand their appreciation for music beyond the typical radio playlist.&#39;</p>

<p>Besides new mixtape downloads, Dopebox.net features mixtape podcasts and a Dope Box blog with videos, interviews and news stories about mixtape artists around the world. There&#39;s no cost to listen to the mixtapes on the site. Site visitors who register (also for free) can download any of the mixtapes.</p>

<p>&#39;We don&#39;t get our collections from torrent sites,&#39; added Shot. &#39;Mixtapes from torrent sites may contain viruses. The mixtapes on Dopebox.net are submitted by actual DJ&#39;s, and we scan them, which means no worries about files that can potentially harm your computer.&#39;</p>

<p>To listen to any of the new mixtape releases on Dopebox.net, visit their website at (<a href="http://www.dopebox.net" target="_blank">http://www.dopebox.net</a>).</p>

<p>About Dopebox.net:</p>

<p>Launched by New York City based DJ and mixtape producer, DJ Sure Shot, Dopebox.net features free mixtape downloads and mixtape podcasts from artists in a variety of genres. The interactive website enables visitors to listen before they download, rate mixtapes and get recommendations based on artists they&#39;re currently listening to.

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Prague &#8211; 23 January 2012</strong> &#8211; The leaders of datacentre businesses across central and eastern Europe will converge on Prague at the end of February for the second regional summit (<a href="http://www.datacentrescee.com/" target="_blank"  ><a href="http://www.datacentrescee.com" target="_blank">www.datacentrescee.com</a></a>).</p>

<p>Research by BroadGroup, the event researcher and organizer, suggests that the Central and eastern European region is increasingly well positioned to exploit the next wave of data centre development as international Enterprises seek new markets, fibre deployment is sustained, outsourcing opportunities evolve, and investors monitor growth prospects across the key metropolitan areas.</p>

<p>The programme includes a regional leadership panel, a market perspective of CEE, with current trends in demand in datacentre markets across the region and growth forecasts, datacentre finance and investment, colocation business models, sustainability and efficiency in datacentres, modular datacentres, fibre connectivity and cloud evolution.</p>

<p><span style="font-style: italic">&#39;The CEE markets are important for datacentre outsourcing,&#39;</span> commented <strong>Warwick Dunkley, vice president at BroadGroup</strong>. <span style="font-style: italic">&#39;We are seeing a great deal of innovation in cooling methodologies as well as commercial propositions that make the region very attractive to enterprises. We have a stellar speaker academy, content of great value to all attendees and outstanding networking with peers across the region.&#39;</span></p>

<p>Sponsors include Schneider Electric, Altron, Hewlett Packard, Dataplex, CE Colo, Corning, PLIX, Automation, Future Facilities and CNet. The event is supported by the EBRD. Colo-X and dcp are industry partners.</p>

     <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(1/24/2012 - Austin, Texas) <a href="http://socialmediain7minutes.com" target="_blank"  >Social Media In 7 Minutes</a> today released its fourth video in their 5 part free<a href="http://www.webwire.com/ViewPressRel.asp?aId=151610" target="_blank"  > video training series</a> which is designed to educate small business owners on how to create and implement a profitable social media marketing plan.  While the first videos focused on local online search directories, Facebook for business, and video marketing, this 4th video will focus on how to put your training into action with the <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/7-minute-dashboard" target="_blank"  >7 Minute Dashboard</a>.</p>

<p>The <strong>7 Minute Dashboard</strong> is where you take everything learned in the Social Media In 7 Minutes program and put it to use on a daily basis where you can update, manage, and interact with all of your social media channels in under seven minutes a day.<br /> <br />&#34;Small business owners are hesitant to hire anybody right now, much less employees who are performing work that they don&#39;t understand (like social media management),&#34; says <a href="http://blackboxsocialmedia.com" target="_blank"  >Black Box Social Media</a> Co-Founder (who created the Social Media In 7 Minutes Product) Curt Maly, who is also the voice of this video.  &#34;In order to create a plan or decide to hire and employee or even outsource this task to another company, they must understand the basics of social networking, how to create a plan, and how much time it really takes to implement.&#34;<br /> <br />Included in the <strong>7 Minute Dashboard</strong> is a 60 day calendar. This calendar will detail what you should be doing for the first 60 days, which social networks you should be interacting with, how often, what time of day, etc...<br /> <br />From this one <strong>7 Minute Dashboard</strong> account, you can pull in all of your Facebook personal, Pages, and Group accounts, Twitter accounts, LinkedIn accounts, and blog accounts to one place and engage with your friends, followers, or whomever is connected with you. You can add links, posts photos, share videos or just simply leave messages in specific groups of your choosing or on people&#39;s walls. Rather than logging into each site, you are able to engage with all social connections from one simple location in just minutes each day.<br /> <br />&#34;Many educational products fail because there is no tool in place to implement the knowledge and turn your brain power into action,&#34; says Nick Bridges, Co Founder of Black Box Social Media and creator of most of the Social Media In 7 Minutes training videos.  &#34;The Social Media in 7 Minutes online training tool combined with the 7 Minute Dashboard allow for the practical application of knowledge in a short period of time. It doesn&#39;t matter how busy you are as a business owner, you can always find an extra 7 minutes to connect with your current and potential customers.&#34;<br /> <br />To sign up for the free 5 part <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/social-media-marketing-stats" target="_blank"  >social media marketing</a> training video series, visit <a href="http://www.SocialMediaIn7Minutes.com" target="_blank">www.SocialMediaIn7Minutes.com</a>.<br /> <br /><strong>About Social Media In 7 Minutes</strong>-  Social Media In 7 Minutes is a revolutionary do-it-yourself online video  training program designed to not only educate small business owners on how to apply social media into their marketing plan, but also to provide a practical tool (the<strong> 7 Minute Dashboard</strong>) which will allow you to implement your  marketing plan in just 7 minutes a day.  This product is designed for small business owners who want to learn and implement a social media marketing plan for themselves without paying thousands of dollars for employees or outsourcing companies.</p>
