MerkelerMedia's Internet.com, which has designated ZuluMedia as "Best in Class," has several very good articles on Zulu. An example is below:

Regarding The Scene description of Sesame-ad by Courtney Pulitzer, here is that article below:

OPEN SESAME! echoMEDIA demo'd its new product,
Sesame-Ad, to a select audience Tuesday morning at The
New York Yacht Club on 44th Street. Based out of
Rhode Island, this club a natural choice for this
company's demo. If you've ever walked down 44th Street
between 5th and 6th Avenues, you may have noticed odd
bubble shaped windows jutting out over the sidewalk.
Originally designed in 1901 by Whitney Warren, who
studied at the L'ecole Beaux Arts and went on to design
Grand Central Station, the Model Room has these
windows, which on the inside have soft, deep red velvet
and leather banquettes under them, perfect for sharing a
cup of tea in the morning or cocktail in the afternoon. Of
course there is nothing dainty about the interior this room.
Was this space designed by William Randolph Hearst? It
could have been for "oppressive," "massive" and
"domineering" are the words one might use to describe
this two-storied room.

Dark polished oak wood covered the walls, ceiling
fixtures, and moldings. Nautical motifs including sea
monsters, dolphins, and seaweed adorned most every
fixture: a wood balcony on one side was detailed with
light and dark painted green seaweed, 10' tall Caen stone
(from Normandy) sea monsters flanked a large oil
painting of ships at sea on the 47 ton fireplace. Heavy
black iron chandeliers with coconut-sized frosted glass
lamps speckled the ceiling and, while dark, couldn't hide
the 30' oval brilliant golden-toned stained glass sunroof.
Dark Teal fabric covered with halves of ship models
covered the walls in addition to large models contained
within even larger exhibition cases.

But enough about the impressive nautical room.
echoMEDIA has hopes for Sesame-Ad to be the secret
opening to a new wave of interactive-web advertising.
This software delivers already made TV commercials on
the web in either 1/4, 1/2, or whole page ads in small
pop-up windows, or as interstitials. The user doesn't go
away to a different site as with a banner click-through, or
have the entire page blocked by an ad (with the exception
of the interstitials).

You can see samples of this new model at: Jumbo (one of
the largest software, promo download sites) and
Travelfacts.com (a 23yr. old company and one of the
largest publishers of travel info on the web). Some
current clients include: Kodak, Sandals resorts, Carnival
Cruises, United Airlines, and USA Today.

Among the guests at this morning's preview was Katie
Antheil of Rodale Press. Not focusing on the
Amazon.com model, as that's a proven big competitor,
Rodale has created various websites based on books
they've published. Some sites are: FatFreeLiving.com and
Men's Health magazine.

Introducing the panel and this product was Richard
Fisher, Director of echoMEDIA. echoMEDIA was
founded in 1995 and is based out of Newport, R.I. Fully
owned by NetMaster now, echoMEDIA is traded on
Nasdaq as NETZ, and is a major player in the web
advertising arena. Tom Burgess, President/CEO of
echoMEDIA came up to speak and take us through the
demo.

This software will deliver the appropriate ad based on
various user specifications. It will be delivered in any
format you want, any length, has auto scheduling, and
starts playing during the download of the webpage. Part
of the software is the Campaign Manager, which can
determine the frequency of the ads, target the audience
by time, timezone, website, and ensure there are no
repeat ads -- if you so desire.

All of this wonder is served up from the proprietary
ad-server. This efficient machine not only serves up the
ads but also generates a report in the structure you want.
