What's been happening in September!

Listeners of the World,

I apologize for not posting a lot during the month of September, but this is because if how busy we are with everything that is going on! This month alone we have been focused on all three of our sites.

OurTown.com

We are still in the process of finishing the site. We have had a lot of set backs on this project due to how big and elaborate the site is going to be! We have our development team working around the clock to try and get this finished as soon as possible, but also with them paying very close attention to detail. It is a very tricky process to balance.

But even without the new site OurTown.com is still moving forward signing up new local editors and reaching out to new content partners to provide as much support as we possibly can to all of our local editors. We will also continue to maintain a very close eye on the current site and put forth a great effort to upgrade it even with the new site so close to being released!

Once the new site is released we will make a huge push for local editor recruitment and local editor involvement throughout the new OurTown community!

vADz.com

vADz.com is up and completed for the most part! We are still changing some of the navigation to create a simpler flow for our users and we are still in the process of adding additional options and features. We have both of our video editors completed! So anyone created a professional video ad as the option of using our "Flash" editor or "HTML5" editor.

For now we are offering a Free Trial to anyone who wants to create a vADz video ad which is good for our middle gold package. We are right now in the process of presenting the site to many different people with many different interests to show the wide range of what you can create through vADz.com.

Well that's just a small look into the busy month we have had and I will continue to update more often starting today!!!

Your OurTown Superhero,

Online Video Advertising


Listeners of the World,

Online advertising has seen a steady growth over the past decade even with the economy taking a nose dive over the past few years and it doesn't look like that will change anytime soon. In fact it seems that online advertising will start explode soon with the introduction of video ads! In the past text and image ads have been the majority of ads produced and viewed via the web and now it seems to be shifting to more interactive and video ads.

Now a lot of businesses are still skeptic of video ads due to the time and cost you have to put into making and producing them. Also one would have to wonder of the amount of sites that the ad could be posted! But even with all of this companies are pushing forward to make video advertising one of the biggest growing sensations in the advertising business.
