Mobile World

Lexington, KY (Vocus/PRWEB) April 15, 2011

eCampus.com, a top online textbook retailer, unveiled a new, user-friendly mobile version of their successful online website today.

The new mobile platform focuses on customer experience and usability when purchasing, renting, or selling textbooks through eCampus.com. The release of the mobile site comes just in time for the companys textbook buyback season. Students flock to eCampus.com every semester to sell their used textbooks and receive cash or in-store credit for their buyback purchases. The launch of the new mobile site will assist with the massive influx of traffic and help mobile users get through the selling process more quickly and efficiently.

The decision to launch an optimized mobile website was largely driven by our focus on giving students the best possible experience when renting, buying, or selling their textbooks, said Matt Montgomery, President and CEO of eCampus.com.

The mobile website, which is designed to simplify the buying and selling process, is compatible with most popular mobile phones, platforms and devices, including Android, Blackberry, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. According to Montgomery, the goal was to keep the user experience limited to sixty seconds or less to maximize conversion on all applicable devices.

With the increase in mobile device usage, it made sense to streamline the process for our users electing to sell or shop for textbooks using their phones. Our commitment to our customers is to be the best source for a students textbook needs. This means offering the most accessible, most secure, and most seamless process possible, Montgomery said.

By entering the title, author or ISBN of specific textbooks, students are able to instantly access price quotes on the new mobile version of the site, as well as purchase and rent them.

Customers who visit eCampus.com through mobile devices will be automatically redirected to the new user-friendly mobile version of the site, which can also be accessed by heading to m.eCampus.com on any internet browser.

As college students continue to rely heavily on their mobile technology, eCampus.com will continue to make their textbook experience as easy and user-friendly as possible, Montgomery said, solidifying the fact that eCampus.com continues to implement new enhancements and technologies as they develop.

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) November 24, 2011

Dovtel, LLC., is announcing the official online launch of their newly launched website, iMobifone.com. With the company’s home office in Boca Raton, Florida, iMobifone.com serves cell phone clients in the continental U.S. market who are concerned about the destruction of healthy brain cells by radiation being emitted by cellular phones. According to a recent report by a panel of experts from the World Health Organization (WHO), the panel determined that an increased risk of glioma, a malignant form of brain cancer, appears associated with wireless phone use.

After reviewing dozens of studies that explored a possible link between cancer and the ubiquitous hand-held phones, the experts classified cell phones as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” and placed them in the same category as the pesticide DDT and gasoline engine exhaust.

According to the companys public relations department, it is estimated that 5 billion cell phones are in use. “The number of users is large and growing, particularly among young adults and children,” they stated. “As fathers ourselves, let alone avid cell phone users, we discovered that children’s skulls and scalps are thinner. So the radiation can penetrate deeper into the brain of children and young adults. Their cells are dividing at a faster rate, so the impact of radiation can be much larger. The challenge was to come up with a newer handset that would not only solve the radiation problem, but offer a handset device into the marketplace that was cool to use, hip and fun.”

It appears that iMobifone handsets, with their stylish retro look and feel, are fast becoming accepted as a necessary accessory to any mobile phone. Available in nine different colors, and adaptable to almost every brand and type of mobile phone, these classic handsets have been clinically tested to screen out 96% of emitted radiation, therefore no longer posing a hazardous threat to cell phone users worldwide. Instructions that come with the iMobifone have been printed in four different languages, including Spanish, French, German, and Italian.

The company further stated, “Perhaps that is why we’re seeing so many celebrities beginning to use extended handsets with their cell phones, not only for the retro look and protection from unnecessary radiation, but also for the pure comfort and convenience of holding a classic phone in one’s hand without fumbling with small cell phone units. And today, with so many people no longer purchasing land lines, the iMobifone is also the perfect home telephone when connected to your favorite cell phone.”

The company’s website is currently giving away a free adjustable belt holder to keep your iMobifone handy and ready to take calls in an instant. You can check for more information online at the website to see pictures, surprise celebrity videos and testimonials of handsets in use. Visit http://www.iMobifone.com.

MapMuse today announced the release of its 2011 data update to the Christmas Light Displays locator, a map-based web platform thats designed to give homeowners and other holiday decorators the chance to show off their holiday lights to thousands of internet visitors.

There are so many people out there with truly fantastic light displays, says Michael Pilon, owner of MapMuse. Why should their hard work go unnoticed by everyone but their neighbors?

MapMuse, an internet and app development company based out of Reston, Virginia, has a long history of creating seasonal maps for the general public. As the winter holiday season rolls around each year, they launch data updates to around a dozen Christmas-themed locator web maps, ranging from Mall Santas to Sleigh Rides to Pie Shops. We do our best to get accurate data for each business or event, says Pilon. Nobody wants to bring their kid to Mall Santa only to find out his run at the mall ended two weeks ago. The same can be said for new submissions to the Christmas Light Displays locator, which are a vetted for authenticity and accuracy before going live on the map (although the onus is on the decorators to update details about their old displays).

New York, New York (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

Klobe inc, a local online advertising and lead generation company, today announced the launch of its national growler directory growlersite.com. Available nationwide as a free growler location resource, the comprehensive web directory offers a unique visual guide to growler filling sites while enabling merchants to reach a growing population of growler seekers.

Growlersite.com was designed to offer beer drinkers and craft beer enthusiasts a one-stop portal into all things growler related. The site is designed to allow users the ability to find growler filling locations nearby, allowing them access to take-out draft beer. Currently the site lists 1500 locations around the United States where growlers can be purchased and filled.

Bar and Brewery owners have responded positively to the site as a venue for added marketing of their very Eco-friendly and highly profitable growler filling businesses. Growler site offers a free 10 day listing and a $ 39 featured annual listing for bar and brewery owners looking to sell or promote growlers. Klobe intends to continue broadening its services around growlers in 2012.

Were extremely excited to launch the beta of Growler site nationally following months of planning, development and testing, states Alexander Bartosch, Founder & CEO of Klobe. Growler site delivers a much needed central directory of growler filling locations which we hope will shift more beer drinkers into the Eco-friendly option of filling growlers at local pubs and restaurants as opposed to buying per-packaged bottles or cans.

Growlers are 64oz or 32oz containers into which draft beer can be filled using counter pressure filling systems or a traditional growler filling attachment. Growlers are the most eco-friendly and economical way to enjoy take home beer. Since growlers can be reused there is very little waste produced; moreover, as growlers can potentially be filled in any bar or restaurant there is a significantly lower carbon footprint from transportation compared to a traditional can or bottle. The average Growler contains the equivalent of 5.33 bottles of beer and costs between $ 6.99 and $ 18.99 depending on the location and beer chosen.

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Last month, FingerMarketing, a North Vancouver based social media and web development company launched its Bronze, Silver and Gold plans aimed at small businesses that do not have an effective social media presence.

A lot of small businesses have a Facebook page or a Twitter account that are never used, explained Alykhan Virani, FingerMarketings founder. He added, “These (Facebook or Twitter) tools were probably configured by some nephew or employee, and I am sure the owner doesnt have the time or a clue what to do or does not have the patience to get involved.

Alykhan got his idea after spending a number of months in his neighborhood, interviewing small business owners about how much they used social media. He was very disappointed at how small businesses were losing out on business due to their lack of social media involvement. He also discovered that 97% of the small business owners did not have or understand what a mobile website was and how advantageous it was to have one.

As a result he founded FingerMarketing, a company that combines social media and mobile websites in a unique and innovative way unlike anything currently offered in the market.

The company offers its clients a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan.

The BRONZE plan is the basic package. It includes a mobile website with 10 pages and a Facebook and Twitter icon that when pressed, takes the user to the business Facebook wall and Twitter feed. Clients get an ad free site, a .mobi domain, analytics, 24/7 support and a redirect script which automatically sends the user to the mobile website if browsing from a mobile phone, or to the PC website if browsing from a PC or laptop. The Bronze package is similar to what is currently being offered by a majority of the mobile website developers.

The SILVER plan contains all the features of the Bronze plan and adds an extra page on the mobile website in which to display a menu, price list or describe a service. The client also gets a Facebook fan page with i-frames. The Facebook page effectively becomes the business’ website and marketing tool. Today, Facebook is the best place to reach shoppers as of those online shoppers who engage in social media, 80% use Facebook. The fan page is a very powerful tool that can be used by the business to effectively engage with its customers.

The GOLD plan includes all the features of the Bronze and Silver plan – the mobile website and Facebook fan page – and includes another innovative feature currently unavailable anywhere else. Because many small businesses owners are either too busy or unfamiliar with how to post or what to post on their social media platforms, in this plan, FingerMarketing posts a specified number of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets per month for them.

Silver and Gold plan subscribers can also opt for a Gowalla, Yelp, Foursquare and Google Places account, which is configured and subscribed for them by FingerMarketing. This level of location based social media integration offered clearly defines the difference between FingerMarketing and other social media and mobile website developing companies.

FingerMarketing Inc is a Canadian based mobile website and social media optimization company. The CEO Alykhan Virani built his first professional Web site in 1998 and began working professionally in building Websites and SEO since 1998. He has developed and implemented web strategies from Fortune 500 Companies to small local businesses.

Bangalore, India (PRWEB) November 30, 2011

HolidayIQ, Indias popular holiday planning website seeks to repeat its India success story in the bigger South East Asia region. Leisure & Lifestyle Information Services, the company that owns HolidayIQ announced the launch of its website for the Indonesia http://www.holidayiq.co.id. HolidayIQs customer centric approach is evident again with the launch of the site in the local language of Bahasa rather than in English like other travel sites have done.

Indonesia is just the first step in HolidayIQs expansion into SE Asia. It has plans to launch sites for several countries in the region, in their specific languages where necessary. Indonesia seems to be the logical next step for a website like HolidayIQ. Indonesia is similar to India in many ways. Culture, diversity, consumer behaviour, aspirations and even the sheer vastness of the country and diversity of destinations, all leading to huge potential for tourism, both domestic and inbound.

In addition to the similarities that make Indonesia a natural next country, there is also the aspect of opportunity, says Hari Nair, founder and CEO of HolidayIQ. Indonesias per capita income is higher than Indias. Internet penetration is twice that of India. Mobile phone penetration is higher than even India. These open up a huge potential for us and will be the catalysts for our growth in Indonesia.

The Indonesia site will essentially cater to the domestic traveller in Indonesia. According to Graham Hills, Head of Indonesian operations, it will replicate the Indian model. To begin with, it will serve the same objectives as in India, that is to collect and publish reviews, stories, photos, videos, and testimonials about destinations and accommodation options and build a community says Mr. Hills.

Not long ago, the Indian traveller had no access to interesting accommodation options in exotic destinations or far flung places of the country. Nor did the owners of such accommodation have access to the market. HolidayIQ bridged the gap. Its single minded focus on the requirement of the Indian traveller has undoubtedly made HolidayIQ a successful travel brand in the country. The site receives in excess of three million visits a month. Its popularity is evident from its large base of registered users and Facebook fans. HolidayIQ is all set to repeat this in Indonesia.

Visit http://www.holidayiq.co.id , the new Indonesian site of HolidayIQ.

Visit http://www.holidayiq.com for information on Destinations, Hotels, Resorts, Home-stays and other accommodation options in India.

About HolidayIQ.com

HolidayIQ.com is owned & operated by Leisure & Lifestyle Information Services Private Limited, based in Bangalore, India. HolidayIQ started operations in 2004, focusing on creating India’s first travel community and getting the community to contribute feedback on tourism destinations and hotels across India. HolidayIQs 2 million registered users actively contribute reviews, photos and videos for over 100,000 hotels and other accommodation options in over 15,000 Indian and international tourism destinations.
