Retweet.com Sold for $250,000 on Flippa.com

Retweet.com Sold for $250,000 on Flippa.com

Retweet.com - a service that aggregates Twitter to help people find real-time news on popular stories - has just sold on Flippa.com for $250,000.

(PRWEB) March 12, 2010 -- With zero revenue but generating millions of visitors every month, the seven-month-old Retweet.com was the subject of a hotly-contested auction on the Flippa marketplace. The site received forty-five bids over three weeks before the site finally sold. The knock out bid from an unknown investor was $48,000 higher than the previous bidder.

Since Flippa launched its website marketplace in June 2009 there has been a steady increase in the volume and prices of websites being traded. However, the recent successful sale of Retweet is the highest price paid for a virtual property in the Flippa.com marketplace.

Dave Slutzkin, the General Manager at Flippa commented: "The market's growing so fast! We're now seeing over $400k+ of websites sold every week, and this week will be bigger again. Although it doesn't compare to other markets such as property and stocks, the significant increases every week show that there are big opportunities."

Flippa is one of a growing number of sites that facilitate the trading of virtual property online, otherwise known as flipping. The auction mechanism is similar to eBay - website owners list their site on Flippa and bidders then compete for the prize, with the highest bidder winning the auction.

The term "flipping" was originally coined by property investors. On the Internet, "flipping websites" involves purchasing existing sites, adding value to them, then reselling them for a profit. However, despite the name, not all participants on Flippa are actually flippers - many are investors who buy and hold websites as investments that produce ongoing revenue.

The high price paid for Retweet seems initially surprising as the business doesn't earn any revenue. Most of the higher selling sites traded on Flippa are businesses that generate profits, so buyers are able to value these sites as they would a bricks and mortar business. It appears the new owner of Retweet.com sees significant value in the domain name, the brand and the large volumes of traffic that the website receives.

As the leading marketplace for buying and selling websites, Flippa continues to improve functionality to facilitate large transactions such as the recent Retweet sale. The marketplace is currently in the process of integrating functionality of the Escrow.com site, to allow buyers and seller to have a higher level of confidence in their trade in virtual property.

About Flippa.com Pty Ltd: Flippa.com is the largest global marketplace for buying and selling established websites. It has traded over $30 million in virtual property and presently lists more than 600 new auctions every week.

Adgregate Markets and Interpublic Emerging Media Lab Join Forces to Promote Distributed Commerce to IPG Ecosystem

Strategic partnership provides preferred partner status for Interpublic agencies, clients for industry first social commerce solutions.

San Francisco, CA and Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 12, 2010 -- Adgregate Markets, the leading provider of transactional advertising and distributed commerce technology, today announced a strategic alliance with IPG Emerging Media Lab, a unit of IPG's Mediabrands, dedicated to keeping Interpublic Group's clients ahead of the latest technology trends. Under this deal, Adgregate will provide preferential terms to Interpublic agencies and clients and IPG will promote Adgregate products and services to the Interpublic agency network. IPG's clients now have access to the most secure suite of advertising and distributed commerce products: ShopAdsTM, ShopFansTM, & SecureAdsTM. Adgregate's technology enables advertisers to bring secure ecommerce capabilities into the world of brand, mobile, and social media advertising.

Adgregate is currently developing a revolutionary social commerce solution, dubbed ShopFans, to be launched soon on Facebook, and will be working exclusively with IPG retail clients to solicit feedback and testing during the initial launch phase. Adgregate and IPG will initially target retail clients with these "first to market" distributed commerce solutions in online and mobile commerce advertising thru ShopAds, as well as distributed commerce solutions within social networks thru ShopFans.

Interpublic had previously announced a major push into the retail media space through its Mediabrands agency, dubbing its initiative "Retail 3.0," and hired former Home Depot CMO John Ross as President of its retail practice. IPG's Retail 3.0 initiative is setting the stage for the next generation of consumer purchasing trends and the role that media technology - from mobile to social media - is having on marketing strategy. Through this partnership, a new set of rich data will be available to IPG advertisers, including secure product catalog and cart interactions, dwell times and rates, add-to-cart and abandonment rates, and actual sales conversions within rich media display ads, social network apps, mobile ads and apps, and web widgets. This opportunity will allow its agencies to understand what drives purchase intent and the triggers required for purchase conversions through Retail 3.0.

"Adgregate's leading distributed commerce solutions fits perfectly into IPG's broader Retail 3.0 agenda," said John Ross, President, IPG Emerging Media Lab. "We look forward to working closely with Adgregate on the launch of its new social commerce solutions and promoting it to the IPG ecosystem."

IPG Emerging Media Lab's recently released 2010 Trends report outlines 10 emerging trends set to revolutionize digital media and retail, including a central thesis around the explosive growth of social commerce. Central to its social shopping theme is the ability for consumers to shop 'anywhere, anytime,' including within social networks. Adgregate's ability to conduct secure transactions on these traditionally 'unsecure' networks lays the necessary infrastructure for true social shopping to occur.

"Mediabrands and IPG Lab are blazing a trail that will define the next generation of retail media technology for years to come," said Henry Wong, CEO, Adgregate Markets. "We are excited at this opportunity to work with them and present IPG clients with the best solution available for distributed commerce."

SES New York, the industry's largest SEM conference, is being held at the New York Hilton, March 22- 26, 2010. It will attract more than 5,000 marketers who come to learn about the latest trends and issues and see the newest search products. The conference offers presentations, panels and networking events for marketing professionals working in mainstream marketing and the search engine optimization (SEO) and pay-per-click (PPC) arenas. Marketers can register for the conference at a discounted rate through March 22.

"At SES we've always been proud of the fact that our shows can benefit all levels of marketers," remarked Publisher and Head of U.S. for Incisive Media Matt McGowan. "We are constantly receiving compliments from experienced veterans at SES for exposing them to something new, and I certainly don't expect this year's New York show to be any different. It doesn't seem to matter how many SES shows you've been to because there's always something brand new and cutting edge every time."

Tuesday, March 23: The "Search on the Edge" track, taking place from 10:45 a.m. through 5:45 p.m., is all about what's new and cutting edge in the world of search. This track kicks off with "How to Become a Link Magnet," with presentations on tactics and strategies for developing a social media and personal branding presence that ensures thousands of links. After lunch, the track segues into "Managing a Global SEO Campaign," a five-person panel moderated by SES Advisory Board Member Anne Kennedy on whether the era of "ranking well in Google" is over. After the 2 p.m. keynote panel, advanced SEM attendees can head to "From Real-Time Search to Dynamic Discovery," moderated by SES Vice President Mike Grehan. Topics of discussion will include what happens when search and TV merge and how real time information is changing search.

Next, "Advanced Paid Search Tactics," moderated by iProspect's Erica Schmidt, discusses how to use advanced PPC tactics to take marketing campaigns to the next level. "Ads In a Quality Score World," moderated by Jon Myers of Mediavest, will focus on the quality of an ad campaign and why how much a marketer spends doesn't necessarily result in a better campaign. Finally, "Advanced Keyword Research," again moderated by Jon Myers, will demonstrate how to target the right terms in paid and organic search marketing.

New Free Wine Enthusiast Facebook App Makes Wine Pairing Social

Wine Enthusiast Brings Its 30 Years Of Experience to FaceBook - From Stemware To Storage, Parings to Parties, Tastings to Expert Ratings

Mt. Kisco, NY (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- Wine Enthusiast has launched Wine Chooser, a free Facebook app that makes it easy to pick the perfect wine for any person, food or occasion. The app makes personalized recommendations based on five simple questions about food, friends, budget, regional preferences and wine IQ.

Created with the notion that wine pairing has as much to do with food as friendship, the app lives in Facebook, where wine lovers can easily share their recommendations with their friends and family. Wine Chooser also enables users to save and tag wine pairing recommendations for future reference. The app even allows for non-traditional preferences, such as whether the people drinking the wine might enjoy pictures of cute animals.

"Most of us rely on recommendations to discover new wines," explained Francis M Juliano, Wine Enthusiast's Chief Marketing and Information Officer. "Need a suggestion for your dinner party? We've got one. Eyes glazing-over at the store in front of hundreds of bottles? We can help. Meeting up with friends who don't drink Merlot? We can help you. Wine Chooser removes all the guesswork and makes you look like an expert."

Wine Enthusiast, the world's number one source for wine accessories, storage, education, ratings, and events, launched the app in coordination with LA-based evidence-based marketing agency DemandResults. Wines are selected from the Wine Enthusiast's database of more than 150,000 wines, with over a 1,000 new wines added every month; most can be purchased with a single-click directly from the app.

In the near future, the app will also allow Facebook users to rate and review individual wines and share their opinions with their friends.

Palm Springs Welcomes Spring Breakers Through Text Message Deals.

The Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism feels there's two ways to reach the college spring breakers this year. Give them great deals and have them text for these deals.

(PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- To reach college students, you need to enter their world. That's exactly what the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism plans to do. For the second year in a row, Palm Springs plans to invite spring breakers via a text message campaign.

"We don't have to say a lot but Text Us", says Mary Jo Ginther, Director of the Palm Springs Bureau of Tourism (PSBOT). "We did this last year and we were very happy with the results". This year, the PSBOT will pull out all the stops in an attempt to reach students where they hang out. This text message campaign will include promotions on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other niche social web portals.

The campaign is simple. PSBOT has special offers that are only available to spring breakers. These offers include special deals on hotel stays including 2-night stays starting at only $99.99. To take advantage of these amazing deals, all students need to do is text "PSBREAK" to 368638. They will get a reply with a special website address.

Another part of the campaign is a special text message sent to students cellphones who opted in to travel deals. This mass text message broadcast will also include a special website for students to take advantage of the exclusive spring break deals.

With the economy still a factor with many students, Palm Springs hopes that the deals will entice spring breakers to enjoy all that Palm Springs has to offer at a great price.

(PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- Faster payment is now available to small websites with In Text ads.

Not anymore!

That's why Infolinks accepts all websites, large and small, into their In Text advertising inner circle. According to company Vice President Tomer Treves, "From our perspective, a smaller site needs revenue in order to grow. That's why we're such a strong supporter of the so-called underdogs of the internet.

Cobalis Signs Exclusive International Broker Agreement for Eastern Europe and Secures US$20 Million Purchase Order

24-Country Broker Agreement Yields $20 Million Bank-Guaranteed Purchase Order for Sale and Distribution of PreHistin® in Russian Federation

Irvine, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2010 -- Cobalis Corporation (CLSC.PK) announced today that it has executed an exclusive international broker agreement covering sales of the Company's flagship anti-allergy product PreHistin, with EXIM Intertrading Bancorp.

The agreement provides EXIM a four year exclusivity to represent and solicit purchase orders for PreHistin in most countries of the former Soviet Union, and throughout most countries of the former Yugoslavia.

As part of the terms of the agreement, EXIM has secured for Cobalis a bank-guaranteed purchase order for the sale of PreHistin to OC STROYPROEKT, a Moscow based pharmaceutical and healthcare product marketer. The terms of the purchase order call for delivery by Cobalis of the complete quantity ordered via the firm purchase order by January 31, 2011 with a total purchase price of US$20,000,000. The purchase order is irrevocably guaranteed on behalf of OC STROYPROEKT by SBERBANK, the largest bank in Russia, payable upon delivery of PreHistin over the next 11 months.

"PreHistin®, The World's FIRST Pre-Histamine"™ is different than current allergy anti-histamine treatments which are designed to treat symptoms after they occur. PreHistin works to modulate the immune response to allergens to give allergy sufferers a normal (non-reactive) response when exposed to allergens. It has been shown that in as little as a few weeks, allergy sufferers can experience significant reduction in nasal symptoms, as well as reductions in IgE levels that have been shown to lead to the body's release of symptom-causing histamine.

Chas Radovich, Cobalis President said, "This landmark international broker agreement and bank-guaranteed purchase order represents the most significant confirmation possible for the ability of Cobalis to bring PreHistin to market on a worldwide basis. The Tier 1 Bank Guarantee from SBERBANK behind this US$20 Million purchase order from OC STROYPROEKT gives Cobalis the platform and financial stability to move forward and achieve the profitability potential for PreHistin the Company has been preparing for. The timing could not be better to begin our international PreHistin sales while we simultaneously prepare to brand PreHistin by launching our US Direct Response Television and Internet advertising campaign this month."

ABOUT COBALIS CORP—PREHISTIN® Cobalis Corp. is an over the counter pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development company. Its flagship product, "PreHistin®, The World's FIRST Pre-Histamine"™, is designed to mitigate overproduction of IgE levels, to restore normal response to seasonal and year-round indoor and outdoor allergens and reduce the likelihood of onset of allergy symptoms resulting from histamine release. PreHistin® is available without prescription for both long-term and daily use. For PreHistin® product information and ordering please visit at www.PreHistin.com or call toll free 1-877-4POLLEN. For additional company information please visit their website at www.Cobalis.com

ABOUT SBERBANK Established in 1841, SBERBANK (Savings Bank of The Russian Federation) currently is the largest credit institution in Russia and CIS, accounting for about a quarter of the aggregate Russian banking assets and a third of banking capital. According to The Banker magazine, as of July 1, 2009, SBERBANK was ranked 38th in the world in terms of Tier 1 capital.

Markzware's Deep Desktop Search Finds "Smoking Gun"

PR Web - Thu, 03/11/2010 - 11:00
Markzware's Deep Desktop Search Finds "Smoking Gun"

PageZephyr 2.0 allows any company possessing so-called proprietary files to manage more of their digital data regardless of how small or large their business' archives may be.

Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 -- Markzware continues to 're-invent' itself, from a software company directed at print, to a software company also directed at 'content.' Today, the software development company that invented preflighting by introducing FlightCheck® to the print industry, unveiled a new version of its PageZephyr™ desktop search product.

PageZephyr 2.0 allows publishing companies, advertising firms, legal eDiscovery or any company possessing so-called proprietary files to manage more of their digital data regardless of how small or large their business' archives may be. Previously inaccessible content is now a breeze to search and reuse.

PageZephyr 2.0 captures, indexes, and converts content created in proprietary or non-common formats without the need for the original authoring application. This transformative technology substantially reduces the cost for time spent searching and cataloging unmanaged content residing within these file types on local or network drives. Before PageZephyr, documents had to be opened by the original application and manually searched, one by one. Now PageZephyr 2.0, enables anyone to instantly find content in these documents by simply typing in a search term or phrase.

Internet search engines provided by companies such as Google, Yahoo! and Bing are typically used to search the web for content within common file-types, such as text in PDF, RTF , TEXT or Word documents. On the desktop, indexing and search engines such as Microsoft Windows Index and Apple's SpotLight work in the same manner with the same limitations. However, none of these companies possess technology that performs like PageZephyr 2.0.

PageZephyr 2.0 is very different, providing a new approach that takes search much further by discovering content inside popular file formats that are 'non-common' such as .indd (Adobe InDesign), .pub (Microsoft Publisher) and .qxd (QuarkXPress) for examination and important decision making. Beyond that, PageZephyr 2.0 allows searching in a specific area of interest across these different file types, to merge, edit and combine content for easy creation of new and relevant information pertinent to that topic. PageZephyr 2.0 also responds to detailed boolean queries by using AND as well as OR to further refine the search.

Mary Gay Marchese, director of public relations at Markzware says, "Until now it has been impossible to search and find content within the billions of Quark, Adobe InDesign and Microsoft Publisher files, let alone extract text and convert text once found, without opening each one in the native application. Once again, Markzware has taken the technological lead. With PageZephyr 2.0, Markzware is essentially releasing 4 products in one: content searching, content viewing, content extraction and content distribution for these unique file formats."

Marchese continues, "eDiscovery firms trying to find that 'smoking gun,' or companies trying to manage risks while reducing the cost of maintaining content compliance will benefit from PageZephyr 2.0. Companies in various vertical markets having the need to recycle premium content contained in these document types to market their goods or services, especially through the internet, will find PageZephyr 2.0 invaluable."

Priced at only $199, PageZephyr 2.0 runs on Macintosh platforms OS X 10.5.8 and higher. Until March 31, 2010, Markzware is offering a web-coupon for PageZephyr at the super-discounted price of $149.

PageZephyr processes both Macintosh and Windows versions of these document types. Anyone may download a free fully-functional, 30-day trial by visiting http://www.pagezephyr.com. Training and educational movies are also available.

This new release of PageZephyr includes expanded file support for: • Versions of QuarkXPress 4.0 to 8.x • Adobe InDesign CS through CS4 • Microsoft Publisher 2002 to 2007

About Markzware: Markzware, is a privately-held company based in Santa Ana, California. For over 15 years, Markzware has been a proven software development leader of cutting-edge content management, data conversion and workflow solutions for digital multimedia including the legal, medical, government and graphic arts industries.

Ludwig previously led AOL's Renewal and Payment Marketing team, a $200 million P&L tasked with retaining AOL's most-at-risk customers. He has also held important roles in research and product management at NASA's NTTC and at VeriSign, and led marketing efforts at startups such as CustomInk.com, ThinkGeek.com, and Procapslabs.com.

"The PeekYou team is full of talented individuals in the people search and reputation management space. I'm honored to join the team. Stay tuned." said Ludwig (Twitter: thesemninja). "We have a host of revolutionary applications in the pipeline and I look forward to propelling the company to the top of the social search industry."

About PeekYou PeekYou (http://www.peekyou.com) is a free people-search engine, whose database contains public records and internet data for over 230 million people, and is growing every day. The information it collects about specific individuals includes real name, age, sex, physical address, e-mail address, online aliases, photos, blogs, personal profiles on popular websites, interests, schools, work history, etc.—and is packaged in individual profiles about each person. PeekYou searches and indexes people just as Google does with websites. PeekYou's deep data is a unique resource through which businesses can acquire knowledge about their current and potential customers and thus execute highly targeted ad campaigns. The idea behind the database began in April 2006: the website was released a few months later in stealth mode, and now ranks as a top 5,000 web destination.
