Crowdsource Your Travel: Expedia "Last-Minute Deals" Program Lets Customers Share the Best Deals with One Another

New deals engine features user-generated and user-informed flash sales

BELLEVUE, Wash., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Expedia.com®, the world's leading online travel agency, today introduced the Last-Minute Deals program, which relies on user-generated deals and user-informed travel trends to lift up and showcase the best near-term travel deals. Several million travelers come to Expedia.com every day to search for travel deals. Last-Minute Deals harnesses their collective effort and shares it with the world.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110121/SF33870LOGO-b)

Unlike other flash sales programs, which are driven by suppliers and based on inventory, Expedia Last-Minute Deals showcase deals found by other customers. The key parameter is point of origin. To access Last-Minute Deals, travelers visit http://www.expedia.com/lastminute and either the site will auto-detect the customer's location or people can enter their own home city. Last-Minute Deals then springs into action, surfacing the best deals found by other travelers to different destinations. With a quick click, travelers can make those deals their own.

"In a sense, the millions of people who come to Expedia® are now serving as your own personal travel agent, helping you find the best and most popular deals from your home city," said Joe Megibow, vice president and general manager, Expedia.com. "So many customers travel with Expedia every month that it puts us in a great position to deliver this type of service to our customers. With Last-Minute Deals, you can get the best deals available by letting everyone else do your research for you."

Expedia's Last-Minute Deals program is the latest offering in the company's robust portfolio of ways to find travel value on Expedia.com. In 2011, Expedia launched both the ASAP program - which, as the acronym suggests, delivers trips featuring A Sudden Amazing Price®, live and bookable for up to 12 hours - and the hugely successful Groupon Getaways with Expedia partnership, which couples the flash-sales expertise of Groupon with Expedia's unparalleled global network of travel suppliers. Groupon Getaways with Expedia follows Groupon's voucher model, where travelers book a hotel room or package at an exceptional rate, then travel when the time is right. Groupon Getaways with Expedia deals are also transferable, allowing consumers to give the gift of travel to a friend or loved one.

About Expedia.com
Expedia.com is the world's leading online travel site, helping millions of travelers per month easily plan and book travel. Expedia.com (http://www.expedia.com/, 1-800-EXPEDIA) aims to provide the latest technology and the widest selection of vacation packages, flights, hotels, rental cars, cruises and in-destination activities, attractions, and services.

Company Name Change is Nuts!

82-Year-Old Nut, Dried Fruit, and Bulk Food Company Changes Name to Nuts.com

CRANFORD, N.J., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In 1929, Poppy Sol founded The Newark Nut Company to sell nuts, dried fruits, and other bulk foods at the Mulberry Street open-air market. In 1999, Poppy Sol's grandson, Jeffrey Braverman, took the company to a virtual storefront at nutsonline.com.  After deep thought and discussion weighing the pros and cons of changing the company's name, the nutty family announced the change from NutsOnline to Nuts.com.

"We were inspired to change the name because it's easier for our customers to remember and type. I can't tell you the number of times I would make new friends and they would say, 'I'm excited to check you guys out - Nuts.com, right?'" says Jeffrey, who is also the company's Head Nut. "Even Rachael Ray made this mistake on her show! When the opportunity arose for us to get the nuts.com domain name, we decided to go for it."

The superior customer service and highest level of product quality will remain consistent; the only thing that is changing about the company is the name and logo. Nuts.com is still owned by the same family with the same values as The Newark Nut Company and the more recent NutsOnline. 

"Since Nuts.com has a deeply passionate customer base - some customers are in their 80's and 90's, and remember Poppy Sol fondly - I want to make sure they know that the company they trust is still the same. Over time, we will replace the logo and develop new packaging, but we promise that the extraordinary Nuts.com experience will only continue to improve," says Jeffrey.

The full story about the company's re-branding, as told by Jeffrey, is available on the company's blog: http://nuts.com/blog/2011/12/29/were-going-nuts-dot-com/.

About Nuts.com

Nuts.com has been selling high quality, fresh bulk nuts, dried fruit, cooking and baking supplies, healthy snacks, and candy since 1929, first as The Newark Nut Company and then as Nutsonline.com. Nuts.com sells more than 2,500 products, including Certified Gluten-Free, Certified Organic, and Certified Kosher foods.

Oclaro Laser Diodes Enable the Development of the Industry's First 15 Kilowatt Direct Diode Laser Systems

Advancements in Laser Diode Design Allow Oclaro to Deliver the Highest Power Levels and Broadest Wavelength Range

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Oclaro, Inc.( )(NASDAQ: OCLR), a tier-one provider and innovator of optical communications and laser solutions, today announced that its laser diodes have been designed into the industry's first 15 kilowatt (kW) direct diode fiber coupled laser systems.  Featuring the highest power levels, broadest wavelength range and leading brightness, the Oclaro laser diodes scale from 910nm to 1070nm at high power levels and leading brightness to uniquely meet the demanding performance requirements of these next generation 15kW systems.  The company will be showcasing its complete line of laser diodes, which are currently shipping in volume to the industrial, semiconductor, automotive and materials processing markets, at next week's Photonics West Conference in the Oclaro booth #1101.

15kW and other multi-kilowatt systems are ideal for applications such as metal welding, cladding and cutting that continually require higher power to improve the performance of the laser system and process efficiency.  Due to their output power, brightness and "colors", the Oclaro laser diodes have become a key technology that is driving the development of these next generation laser systems.  Because the power of these systems scales linearly with the number of wavelengths available for multiplexing, Oclaro's ability to provide lasers with wavelengths from 910nm up to 1070nm with high power levels and excellent brightness is the technology that is allowing customers - for the first time - to design commercial fiber coupled multi-kilowatt direct diode laser systems that can meet and exceed 15kW.

"Today's announcement highlights Oclaro's continued ability to advance the performance and features of our industry-leading laser diode platform," said Bernd Meyer, VP Product Management  High Power Laser Business for Oclaro, Inc.  "Our customers are always looking for ways to expand their business into new markets and applications that require more power and brightness, and the 15kW laser systems being enabled by our laser diodes are key to their success."

One of the first Oclaro customers designing next generation 15kW laser systems is Laserline, the leading manufacturer of high power diode laser systems. Laserline chose the Oclaro direct diode solutions because they deliver the power, brightness and reliability needed to bring 15kW direct diode systems to market. In addition, Oclaro was able to provide Laserline with its in-house design and manufacturing expertise along with the capability to scale to volume quickly and cost effectively.

The Innovations Behind Oclaro High-Power Laser Diodes

Some of the key innovations that set the Oclaro direct diode solutions apart from competitive offerings include the following:

    --  Optimization of the laser diode design structure.  Oclaro has its own
        design capabilities in house, which enable significant improvements in
        overall efficiency and design. Epitaxial engineering is one of Oclaro's
        key competencies.
    --  Expert soldering process. Telecom grade AuSn (gold tin) hard solder make
        the Oclaro laser diodes suitable for demanding applications in CW and
        hard-pulse operation mode.
    --  E2 Passivation Techniques. Like all Oclaro high power laser products,
        the front facet of these laser diodes is protected against Catastrophic
        Optical Damage (COD) by the Oclaro E2 mirror passivation process. This
        enables higher power densities on each laser diode, which allows power
        scaling of diodes.
    --  Vertical Integration.  By owning the laser diode development from
        initial design and wafer form to final product, Oclaro can deliver
        designs that reach the power, brightness and reliability required at
        leading cost structures.
    --  Manufacturing strength. Oclaro's global R&D, state of the art chip fabs,
        world-class assembly lines and supply chain enable customers to enjoy
        faster time to market, volume capacity and industry-leading quality and
        reliability.
Oclaro's Portfolio of Products for Direct Diode Applications

Oclaro's portfolio of laser diodes include low-fill-factor bars from 50W to 80W and high-fill-factor conduction cooled bars at 120W and active cooled bars up to 200W.  These products, all of which feature the broadest wavelength range from 910nm to 1070nm, allow for wavelength multiplexing with 5 to 6 colors (assuming 30nm spacing).

About Oclaro

Oclaro, Inc. (NASDAQ: OCLR) is a tier-one provider and innovator of optical communications and laser components, modules and subsystems for a broad range of diverse markets, including telecommunications, industrial, scientific, consumer electronics and medical.

SEATTLE, Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Today leading real estate information marketplace Zillow® (NASDAQ:Z) announced the launch of Neighborhood Advice on Zillow.com®, a social home-shopping experience that helps buyers and renters learn about neighborhoods from their Facebook friends.

Neighborhood Advice takes this further and deeper by allowing shoppers to quickly and easily tap into their broader online social network as they shop for homes on Zillow," said Spencer Rascoff, CEO of Zillow.

UNIT4 Set to Disrupt Performance Management Software Market

Unique Low Cost, Rapidly Deployed Business Analytic Solutions

SLIEDRECHT, The Netherlands, January 19, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    UNIT4, the world's leading provider of business software for Businesses Living IN
Change (BLINC(TM)), today announced plans to disrupt the performance management software
market in 2012 with a completely new approach to delivering business analytics tools for
the enterprise. UNIT4 Business Analytics Apps promise turnkey, rapidly deployed, business
performance solutions available on a pay-as-you-use basis from a dedicated app store.

    UNIT4's new strategy addresses the three most challenging requirements of
organizations attempting to improve their business performance via today's analytic
solutions - cost, speed and measurement. While large enterprise software vendors SAP and
Oracle have bolted heavy-weight business intelligence tools on top of their already
complex enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, UNIT4 is reinventing the business
analytics landscape.

    UNIT4 Business Analytics Apps will be a performance-industry game changer. Their
simplicity, speed of deployment and pricing model are unique to the market, enabling a
business analytics platform and turnkey performance templates for every customer, deployed
across any device, on a pay-as-you-use basis from a dedicated app store. They will provide
rapidtargeted response to business change, emerging risks or new opportunities, and since
they are integrated with UNIT4's Agresso Business World ERP and Coda Financials solutions,
a change made in one application automatically flows to the other applications. Customers
will also benefit from a built-in social communication tool that enables them to
collaborate around reports.

    "Today's enterprise performance management (EPM) or corporate performance management
(CPM) solutions have been as costly and complex as legacy ERP," said Ton Dobbe, Vice
president, Product Marketing for UNIT4. "Having spent millions on these systems over
numerous years, companies are still struggling to get meaningful information out as their
business requirements have changed since installing the ERP, but the task of making the
changes to the system has proven too complex. As a result, their business analytics is too
often out of date and lacking any meaningful insight. UNIT4 has led the way in low cost of
change ERP and is bringing this much needed foresight to the performance management
space."

    Customers will be able to download a pre-built solution from the app store that is
virtually ready to use, then choose if they want to add tailoring to the solution
themselves-- or select a turnkey professional services bundle of five, 10 or 20 days,
depending on their requirements, that guarantees completion. Per user/per month pricing
ensures that UNIT4's approach is low-cost, no-risk, customizable and easy to change. This
contrasts with the usual huge up-front investment and months it takes to deploy
traditional performance management solutions, plus the financial and time investment
required to make subsequent changes.

    In March 2012, the first apps will be rolled-out via a selective customer review
program. From June, these solutions will be made available globally via the UNIT4 App
Store along with apps designed for various service intensive markets such as local
government, education, not for profit and professional services. Cloud advancements will
ultimately provide a standardized environment for cloud cube analytics.

                     Industry Analyst Sees 'Game Changing' Possibilities

    "It has always been easier to get data into ERP than to get actionable information
out," said Cindy Jutras, principal, Mint Jutras. "Much of the value is left on the table
with information that is largely untapped. With broad, deep and multi-purpose
applications, most decision-makers simply don't know where to start. By creating these
bite-size apps that address a specific need, UNIT4 allows knowledge workers and executives
to simply download an app, quickly tailor it and satisfy their specific business need.
This promises no-risk, potential high-return and a rapid return on investment, and UNIT4
is extending performance management beyond senior management to middle managers and mobile
workers, enabling a powerful and low-cost way to re-tool everyday routines to be more
efficient."

    Cindy Jutras has published a paper addressing the shortcomings of the performance
solutions market and the advantages of UNIT4's approach titled "Are You Ready to Change
the Game In Driving Corporate Performance? [http://mintjutras.com/blog/?p(6 ]"

Ebizmarts Breaks Down Barriers to ecommerce with Sage Pay Suite Extension

LONDON, January 19, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

         Sage Pay partner's simplified integration process helps ecommerce merchants

    provide a seamless checkout experience whilst maintaining a high level of security

    Development company and long-term Sage Pay partner Ebizmarts [http://ebizmarts.com ]
has today launched a campaign to upgrade Sage Pay CE module users to its newly released
Sage Pay Suite. The Suite, integrated with the Magento Open Source platform
[http://www.magentocommerce.com ], enables merchants to take advantage of all the most up
to date Sage Pay functionality and create a 'tailor-made' solution aligned to their
individual needs via a single, user-friendly form. A popular benefit of the Ebizmarts
Suite is enabling ecommerce merchants to streamline the checkout process, via Sage Pay's
Token System option, which converts credit card details into tokens or card 'aliases'.
This empowers retailers to drive customer loyalty by creating a smooth, quick and
completely customised checkout process for their customers, by eliminating the need to
re-enter card details each time they return to the site. It also fully supports 3D Secure
(Verified by Visa and Secure code by MasterCard).

    Sage Pay's Token system can also help merchants to manage PCI DSS compliance by
removing the need to store sensitive data. PCI DSS and its associated costs are one of the
most painful parts to setting up an online business.

    In addition to tokenisation, the Sage Pay Suite extension also offers merchants:

   
    - Full PayPal integration
    - Direct view of fraud screening results from the Magento platform
    - Ability to perform refunds, voids,and repeat paymentsdirectly from the Magento
      platform
    - Premium priority email and Skype support

    Ebizmarts is the first Sage Pay partner to offer the full range of Sage Pay's newest
functionality on the Magento open source platform, which is the fastest growing ecommerce
platform on the market with over 2.5 million+ downloads to date. It offers merchants
complete flexibility and control over the look, content, and functionality of their online
store to provide a fully tailored payment process.

    Ignacio de Paula, Ebizmarts owner and co-founder, adds: "Sage Pay's Token System
allows our Sage Pay Suite users to benefit from a streamlined checkout process and the
ability to make it easier for their customers to purchase through a single click
checkout."

    Our industry relies on giving customers exactly what they need, and the Sage Pay
extension is helping us to do just that, continued Ignacio de Paula. Not only does our
solution help tackle the challenges faced by merchants, but Sage Pay's Developer Partners
also benefit both from delegating a sensitive part of the ecommerce process to experts and
minimising the integration process through using one central form".

    John Fitchett, Sage Pay's Channel Manager says: "We're delighted to have Ebizmarts at
the forefront of our Partner programme and this upgrade campaign is based around providing
Ebizmarts users with some real benefits for their business".

    Ebizmarts is offering a full upgrade to the Sage Pay Suite at a discounted rate of
just GBP99, instead of the usual GBP149. If you're not currently an Ebizmarts customer but
are interested in their services, you can take advantage of their free extension.

    --  For managers and business owners, real-time access to office travel
        spending provides insight into how much travel is on the books at any
        given moment.
Newly added visibility into office travel spending quickly answers questions about how much the company has spent to date on travel, what travel spend will be in the next 30 or 90 days, who travels the most frequently, and who the most efficient travelers in the company are.

"With the addition of real-time spending data, we're helping managers answer questions about how much is being spent on travel at any given time, without having to resort to number-crunching."

Emergency Call Management Solution for Enterprise IP Telephony Now Available Worldwide

MONTREAL, January 19, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

    911 Enable, the leading provider of VoIP emergency management solutions, today
announced that its ground-breaking Emergency Gateway (EGW) appliance is now available
worldwide. This expansion helps enterprises provide emergency callers with access to the
help they need.

    "Enterprises using IP-PBXs often encounter difficulties ensuring that, in times of
crisis, the caller's accurate location information is provided to security personnel, as
callers may be located within a large campus or at another location entirely. And since IP
phones offer a high degree of mobility, callers can easily change location from one moment
to the next, which also compromises the reliability of caller-location information,"
explained Lev Deich, Director of 911 Enable. "The EGW solves this critical safety issue.
It ensures that on-site security personnel know exactly where to send help in emergency
situations, even if the caller is unable to speak, unaware of their precise location, or
disoriented."

    The EGW automatically discovers the precise locations of IP phones on the enterprise
network, and includes a robust suite of security desk notification tools. When a user
places an emergency call, the EGW can route the call to on-premises security personnel and
send an alert that includes the caller's exact location and callback number. Security
personnel can then dispatch assistance to distressed callers in a timely manner. The
caller-location information may also be used to select a routing trunk to deliver the call
to public emergency services.

    Organisations in the UK deploying the EGW can also use 911 Enable's Emergency Routing
Service (ERS) to deliver emergency calls and detailed caller-location information to the
public emergency network's Emergency Control Centre. This helps organisations ensure that
their private telephone networks comply with regulatory guidelines, and that they fulfill
their legal obligation to minimise health and safety risks.

    911 Enable is certified with today's leading IP-PBX vendors, including Cisco, Avaya,
Microsoft, ShoreTel, Aastra, Alcatel-Lucent, and Genesys. To learn more about 911 Enable's
solutions, visit http://www.911enable.com/international, call +1-514-745-2143, or
register for the webinar https://www3.gotomeeting.com/register/763831246.

    About 911 Enable

    911 Enable, a division of Connexon Telecom Inc., is the industry-leading provider of
emergency solutions for IP-PBXs, having deployed its solutions in organisations of all
sizes worldwide. It offers breakthrough location management technologies for today's
leading IP-PBX vendors, including Cisco, Avaya, Microsoft, and more. For more information

AccountingDepartment.com Announces New Bookkeeping Services For Growing Businesses

Longtime virtual accounting services provider AccountingDepartment.com is now offering bookkeeping designed specifically for small businesses with the same structure & policies it uses to run its comprehensive service for medium businesses.

POMPTON PLAINS, N.J., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading virtual accounting firm AccountingDepartment.com, LLC recently announced expanded service offerings to help small, growing businesses manage their accounting needs. The company has long been a force in virtual accounting for medium businesses, but had not previously offered services that were specifically designed for smaller enterprises.

The new services focus on bookkeeping, a common weakness in smaller companies. "Smaller business owners never seem to have the books done right. As experts, we want to bring the same level of accounting service that we offer our current clients to the smaller market," explains Bill Gerber, one of AccountingDepartment.com's two founders.

His company has already proven that this model is viable. Many larger firms use AccountingDepartment.com's full accounting department solutions, which assigns a full-charge bookkeeper and a CPA/Controller to provide thorough financial monitoring and support. Clients contact their bookkeepers via phone, email, and instant message, and all data is stored on a secure server.

All signs point to virtual accounting as the future of financial management. Companies that have already made the switch point to advantages including the latest technology, on-time financial reports, procedures that streamline the accounting process, and outstanding privacy. With bookkeepers separated from the daily life of the company and all work meticulously tracked by secure online servers, businesses report that errors and potential fraud are both virtually eliminated.

"Our goal is to make sure the books are done right and on time, making sure the owners know their true gross profit so they can make informed decisions to run the business," says Gerber. These new offerings are set to appeal to a new sector of business, helping introduce more companies and startups to the idea of accounting outsourcing.

About AccountingDepartment.com: Founded in 2004, AccountingDepartment.com (http://www.AccountingDepartment.com) provides full service accounting outsourcing and bookkeepers for small, medium, and fast-growing companies. For larger companies, AccountingDepartment.com offers full accounting department solutions, including a full charge bookkeeper and a CPA/Controller. For smaller businesses, daily, weekly or monthly bookkeeping services without a controller are available.

can share their latest eBook activity with friends, from showing off
their current read to staying atop of the hottest eBooks. Building upon
the free downloadable Reading Life app launched in 2010, this new
Reading Life feature for timeline adds a new dimension in Kobo's
commitment to making reading a more engaging social experience.

"We know that readers have always loved sharing their experience with
books, but organizing a book club isn't always feasible in our
fast-paced, digital world," says Dan Liebu, Kobo Inc.'s Chief
Technology Officer. "With the rise of social media and the growing
popularity of apps, reading doesn't have to be done alone - it's
something that can be shared with friends."

"Reading Life for Facebook Timeline gives you a way to let others know
what's in your library while moving beyond simply sharing titles; this
app is about sharing Kobo reading experiences in a fun and exciting
way."

The new app allows people to post every aspect of their reading
experience: from reviewing and recommending eBooks, to sharing passages
and keeping tabs on what friends are reading. People can also earn fun
badges for hundreds of reading activities, like the Papillion (for
extreme social sharers), the Twain (for daily readers), and the
Witching Hour (for readers who read into the wee hours of the night).

The Reading Life app for Facebook Timeline builds on Kobo's 'Read
Freely' philosophy, which seeks to provide the ultimate reading
experience any time, any place by giving consumers the freedom to read
any book on any device - and to be able to get more from their reading
experience.

"Reading Life for Facebook Timeline is a celebration of reading, where
it's not just about individual books but rather a way to share you
reading life with friend everywhere," says Liebu. "Reading often plays
a key role in all our lives - whether temporarily transporting us away
from reality or bringing an important issue front and centre. This app
encourages discussion around reading, which really is embedded into our
social fabric."

The Reading Life application is available for the Kobo iPhone and iPad
App and will soon be available on other Kobo platforms... For more

AT&T Launches New Data Plans

Customers Get More Data, More Value

DALLAS, Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- AT&T today announced new data plans for smartphone and tablet customers that will launch this Sunday, January 22. The plans give customers more data and value.

The new smartphone plans include:

    --  AT&T DataPlus 300MB: $20 for 300MB
    --  AT&T DataPro 3GB: $30 for 3GB
    --  AT&T DataPro 5GB: $50 for 5GB, with mobile hotspot / tethering
Smartphone customers needing additional data can pay $10 per additional gigabyte on the AT&T DataPro 3GB and DataPro 5GB plans; AT&T DataPlus users will receive an extra 300MB for $20.

The new tablet plans* include:

    --  AT&T DataConnect 3GB: $30 for 3GB
    --  AT&T DataConnect 5GB: $50 for 5GB
Existing smartphone and tablet customers will have the choice of keeping their current plans or choosing one of these new plans, and the current $14.99 for 250MB plan for tablet customers will remain available.

To help customers determine which data plan best matches their needs, AT&T has helpful tools at http://www.att.com/dataplans - including a data calculator where customers can estimate usage for their typical data activity. Once smartphone and tablet customers are on a plan, AT&T keeps them informed of their usage levels by sending usage alerts as they consume data within their plan. For example, a smartphone customer with AT&T DataPlus 300MB will receive a text message when they consume 65 percent of their data bucket, plus two additional alerts as they approach the 300MB provided with their plan.

"Customers are using more data than ever before," said David Christopher, chief marketing officer, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Our new plans are driven by this increasing demand in a highly competitive environment, and continue to deliver a great value to customers, especially as we continue our 4G LTE deployment."

Customers are encouraged to keep their device's Wi-Fi turned on because data usage over Wi-Fi does not count against a customer's monthly data plan. As an added value, AT&T smartphone and tablet customers have access at no additional charge to AT&T's 29,000 Wi-Fi hotspots nationwide - the nation's largest Wi-Fi network.** Customers can get more information at http://www.att.com/wifiaccess.

For more information, visit http://www.att.com/dataplans.

*Plans are for 30 days and automatically renew every 30 days, unless you cancel service prior to the start of the 30 day renewal. Overage rates only apply to postpaid tablet plans - not session based pricing - and include: $14.99 for 250MB with AT&T DataConnect 250MB; and $10 per additional gigabyte with AT&T DataConnect 3GB and AT&T DataConnect 5GB.

** Largest based on company branded and operated hotspots. Access includes AT&T Wi-Fi Basic.  A Wi-Fi enabled device required. Other restrictions apply. See http://www.attwifi.comfor details and locations.

TechNet Statement on Congressional Anti-Piracy Legislation

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- TechNet, the bipartisan policy and political network of technology CEOs that promotes the growth of the innovation economy, today released the following statement by TechNet President and CEO Rey Ramsey on the measures aimed to protect piracy that are currently before the U.S. Congress:

"Everyone agrees that combating online piracy is important. Unfortunately, these bills aren't going to stop piracy. Both SOPA and PIPA are so broadly written that they will undermine the environment for innovation and job creation in the digital economy. It has become apparent to a growing number of people - with literally thousands upon thousands of individuals, entrepreneurs, businesses, grassroots organizations, mayors and others - that we need to stop what's happening in Congress so we can do this the right way.  Essentially, we need to slow down and get the substance right.  Now is the time for everyone affected by this issue to come back to the table to work together on an approach that effectively combats online piracy without harming the system or the trust that has made the Internet a success."

About TechNet:

Shopatron Upgrades Shorten Order Processing and Increase Sales Conversions for Clients

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In this customer-centric and highly competitive era of eCommerce, retail-integrated eCommerce provider Shopatronhas unveiled a new suite of enhanced capabilities designed to improve the user experience for both clients and online shoppers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101109/SHOPATRONLOGO)

One of the most exciting features included in the current set of upgrades is Expedited Order Assignment. This new Shopatron feature accelerates the delivery of orders that are placed on Shopatron client websites and fulfilled by a local retail partner, in some cases shaving as much as 24 hours off the order processing time. Another new feature, the Customer Experience Bonus Tool, makes it possible for Shopatron merchants to reward their retail fulfillment partners for delivering superior customer service. Both of these enhancements improve on Shopatron's unique retail-integrated eCommerce process, allowing Shopatron clients to provide an even better customer experience when selling from their website.

"We are continuing to put the spotlight on user experience and customer satisfaction," says Shopatron founder and CEO Ed Stevens. "The stakes are high for all online merchants and nobody can afford to offer sub-par service. Customers need a reason to buy from a particular online merchant, beyond price and availability, because they have so many other options. Shopatron is focused on providing an excellent shopping experience followed by smooth delivery and impeccable service. Customers won't settle for less, and why should they?"

Other features in this recent upgrade include launching PayPal payments for international markets and the move to greener, paperless e-payments beginning February 1.

To announce the launch of these upgrades, Shopatron has developed an engaging campaign that tests a brand's EQ (eCommerce intelligence quotient). Shopatron's interactive quiz tests participants on various eCommerce topics, resulting in scores ranging from Dweeb (30% correct) to Wizard (100% correct) depending on their performance. Anyone can take the test here: eq.shopatron.com.

Shopatron is also putting the spotlight on the results from their ongoing and extensive conversion testing. In 2011, testing of guest checkout and changes to standard onsite messaging, like security and return policies, produced highly actionable insights. These insights allowed Shopatron's Traffic & Conversions team to make system-wide upgrades that resulted in increased sales for their clients, sometimes by as much as 29%.

DealerTrack Debuts Dynamic SmartFind Online Inventory Search Solution

New Web Offering Directly Links Consumer Vehicle Searches to Existing Dealer Inventory

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Jan. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DealerTrack Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRAK) today introduced SmartFind, a new cutting-edge online inventory search and comparison solution tied to actual dealer inventory for automotive manufacturers, portals, technology providers and dealers.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101028/DEALERTRACKLOGO )

This new web service, which allows dealers to dynamically limit online vehicle selections on their websites to inventoried vehicles, uses proprietary "best match" search algorithms to return a ranked list of available vehicles in inventory, based upon a consumer's specific search parameters. The service then allows consumers to perform robust comparisons of actual vehicles within inventory.

"In today's market, consumers expect to perform more of the vehicle transaction process online than ever before.  However, traditional inventory searches have been a stumbling point because they don't link directly to current inventory at a particular dealership," said Amit Maheshwari, general manager, DealerTrack Data Services and Digital Retailing Solutions.  "The SmartFind solution will integrate fully with the dealer's existing online vehicle and inventory workflows to deliver timely and more accurate vehicle availability information and the ability to compare inventoried vehicles.  We anticipate this solution will create a better user experience, increase dealership visits and ultimately, have a positive impact on sales."

For more information about the SmartFind online inventory search solution, visit this link. SmartFind, which will be distributed by Chrome Data Solutions, a joint venture between DealerTrack and AutoData, will be on display in the DealerTrack Booth (#1751) at the upcoming NADA Convention and Expo, in Las Vegas, February 4th - 6th, 2012.

Contractors receive automatic alerts to new projects and their values, as well as alerts to bid date and addenda changes. Dodge BidPro also introduces a workflow tool to help contractors submit winning bids. Once a suitable project is identified, contractors can use the "Invitation to Bid" function to invite subcontractors to their online plan room and access the plans and specs, greatly simplifying the process of building a winning bid team.

"Contractors no longer need to search for bidding projects that are relevant to them," said Kate Cassino, VP of Product Development, McGraw-Hill Construction. "Dodge BidPro delivers targeted projects that allow contractors to focus on their most promising leads and provides them with the tools to bid and win more work.
