SOUTHLAKE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 7, 1999--
Online tradeshow leader selects IT Network(TM) to supply
streaming audio content and services
eTradeshow.com(TM), through a relationship with IT Network, Inc.,
a division of Source Media(TM) (NASDAQ: SRCM), is now providing
up-to-the-minute audio news content for tradeshow organizers.
This addition to the eTradeshow(TM) product offering adds value
for the attendees who can listen to business and financial news, as
well as tradeshow-specific news.
IT Network also named eTradeshow.com as a licensed reseller of IT
Network's YourAudio(R) product. The YourAudio(R) service enables
personalized audio messages to be added to an eTradeshow.com virtual
booth or tradeshow web site over any touch-tone phone.
The online audio news content currently features general,
financial, and weather news, updated every half-hour. This service is
available from the eTradeshow.com home page by clicking on the Audio
News link on the left hand menu. IT Network provides this content as
part of their regular syndicated streaming media content service.
eTradeshow.com will work with IT Network and individual tradeshow
organizers to add relevant, custom audio content from the organizer.
eTradeshow.com also plans to add IT Network international audio
content by Q1-2000.
IT Network's YourAudio(R) product was recently added to the
eTradeshow.com home page to demonstrate "What's New at
eTradeshow.com." No extra hardware, software or bandwidth is required
to enable this dynamic content feature. An eTradeshow.com
representative just picks up the phone each Monday, voices the new
message and the web site is updated automatically with the audio
message. This feature is currently being offered by eTradeshow.com to
tradeshow organizers and meeting planners for use on their own web
sites for purposes of providing last minute updates to rapidly
changing tradeshow and meeting information.
eTradeshow.com also offers exhibitors this option to quickly and
easily add new audio content to their virtual booths. The audio
content may be updated as often as desired--weekly, daily, hourly or
even more frequently--all with a simple phone call.
YourAudio(R) takes advantage of IT Network's end-to-end audio
capture, encoding, hosting and linking capabilities, allowing
subscribers to add on-the-fly audio updates to web sites and virtual
booths from any touch-tone phone. You determine your own content
requirements and update schedules.
"eTradeshow.com and IT Network are enabling tradeshow organizers,
meeting planners, and virtual exhibitors to enhance their Internet
presence by providing dynamic audio content from their websites or
virtual booths," said Jeremy Goodell, Vice President and GM,
eTradeshow.com. "This relationship again demonstrates eTradeshow.com's
commitment to providing state-of-the-art technology to its clients and
partners."
"We are extremely excited to be the supplier of streaming media
content to eTradeshow. We feel the company is uniquely positioned as a
leader in the development of Internet technology for the trade show
and meeting industry, and we are pleased to be able to supply content
to meet the needs of eTradeshow's customers," said Chris Stokes, Vice
president of Marketing for IT Network.
