Tabbed Browsing & Internet Radio

admin — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:05:35 +0000

Reading your favorite headlines, answering web-based e-mails, listening to online music… these days, there’s more than ever to see and do on the Internet. Many of us are interested in doing quite a few things at once. Luckily, Internet browsers have adapted to fit the way that we use the World Wide Web as time has passed. One of the best innovations is the concept of tabbed browsing, which allows a user to have multiple windows open in a single browser. It was tabbing that made Firefox such a popular browser when Internet Explorer was the dominant force for surfing the web. It was easy to have your favorite Internet radio station playing in one tab while you read up on the latest news in another.

Tabbing has become fairly standard in all Internet browsers now. Internet Explorer features it, as does the newer Google Chrome browser. However, Internet Explorer 8, released in March of 2009, looks to take back dominance by making it easier to open new tabs, allowing you to access your favorite websites, radio stations, and blogs more easily. The browser has also been shown to load pages faster than version 7 and Firefox. Considering the latter is well liked for its speed, this could mean that IE could once again become the favorite browser of both computer aficionados and casual users.

One of the larger online radio companies, Club 977, Inc, has become the first Internet radio network to offer listeners a point-based rewards program. The points will be available both to those who listen to free music via their radio stations and to those who participate on the company’s website. There are a variety of different prizes available for participants, including plane tickets, concert tickets, Nintendo Wii systems, and even cash.

Club 977, Inc started back in 2000 with a single station: The 80s Channel. Today, they broadcast online music across ten different stations that can be found on their website, 977music.com. Over one million web surfers visit their website each month to listen to music. Thus, the company decided to create a more interactive experience for them, giving visitors new ways to interact with each other and to enjoy their music.

When users visit the site to listen to the radio, they have the opportunity to create a personal profile. This will allow them to participate in social interaction with other users and to earn points toward prizes. Users also have the ability to purchase MP3s from Amazon of songs that they like or concert tickets for bands that will be performing locally. The site features on-demand playlists for easy access to your favorite streaming music. Entertainment news, stock numbers, weather forecasts, horoscopes, and lottery numbers are also available for viewing.

While the iPod might be the most well-known portable music player on the market today, it’s far from the only option available to consumers. The market has a wide variety of MP3 players available for you to choose from. Some are from familiar brands (Sony and Microsoft) while others are manufactured by companies you might not have heard of before (iRiver and Sandisk.) With a range of different features available, there’s certain to be a player out there that meets your needs. And if you’ve been holding back on buying an iPod because of the price, you’ll be pleased to know that there are more affordable options on the market.

With Newegg coupons and other great online deals, you might be surprised just how affordable it is to take your favorite music with you on the go. If you’re not set on having the very latest technology, you can save even more by purchasing older models. See what kind of savings you can find with Overstock coupons.

The Power of Mobile Billboards

No matter what type of business or industry you’re in, generating sales is a difficult task. But before you can make a sale, you have to attract customers to your store, website, whatever. With the barrage of advertisements inundating your consumer base, how do you stand out? Mobile billboards.

Make an impression. A mobile billboard is the purest form of outdoor media because it has been designed for one purpose: impact. Unlike generic advertisements on multi-purpose vehicles whose main use is to transport goods from one location to another, mobile billboards are calibrated to an effective level of intensity.
Target the areas that count. Just as companies are realizing the value of dayparting in online marketing, they’ve acknowledged that certain products and services are best targeted to specific geographic areas and markets. The level of coverage that a mobile billboard receives can be tailored to your needs, so whether you want only a district showing or a showing in the entire market, that’s what you’ll receive.
A clear return on investment. The true effectiveness of any campaign can be measured only through a correlation to its return on investment. A good mobile outdoor advertising company should provide you with tracking tools such as GPS systems and statistics that measure the gross rating point, daily effective circulation, and other performance indicators.

Most people are surprised by how affordable mobile billboards are. So if you’ve been looking for a unique solution to your advertising needs, check out this fun, memorable, effective way to get your message across.
