Stock Promoter David Green Launches Premium Penny Stock Newsletter Site

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 24, 2011

There is a massive following of micro-cap and penny stock investors searching for hot penny stocks online, and those numbers are growing daily. This phenomenon has prompted secretstockpromo.com to join the fold, but not as another over the top newsletter site, but as a real game changer.

SecretStockPromo.com has put together a program that provides Premium Members with extensive trading tools, including a 10-week video tutorial series and tailored investment guides. What really sets this site apart from other competing newsletters is the launch of the Green Promoter Program, which puts investors on the inside track to greater penny stock wealth.

There are over 10 million Google web search results for the phrase penny stocks, and by our estimates well over 5,000 active penny stock newsletter sites to choose from. Yet, SecretStockPromo appears to be the 1 and only site that teaches its subscriber base about stock promotion.

What the average penny stock investor doesnt understand is that there is an entirely other path to generating serious wealth from penny stocks, which is through stock promotion. I can make up to $ 50,000 per month and am offering the same opportunity to Premium Members, says creator David Green.

With a lack of stability in the larger stock exchanges, a growing trend among investors is to subsidize their stock portfolios by making short-term investments in the OTC markets. SecretStockPromo hopes to capitalize on this market trend by offering a 2-step trading strategy that involves both stock trading and stock promotion.

By all accounts, this unique program could generate important income for many investors looking for other money opportunities in this tough economy.

According to David Green, With so many people struggling in this economy I figured it was important to let the investment community in on a business that I know works and has provided me with years of substantial income.

Penny stocks continue to command a ton of attention with traders. SecretStockPromo.com has an opportunity to set a new standard in the industry with their ground breaking Premium Programs. The website officially launched August 2011 and is the premier resource for penny stock trading. Membership information is available at: http://www.secretstockpromo.com.

New York Giant, Gerris Wilkinson, Joins NEWYORK.COM to Promote Channeling of Every Day Internet Use Into Charitable Giving

New York, NY (PRWEB) August 3, 2006

Gerris Wilkinson, the explosive and outstanding New York Giants Linebacker who was drafted in the third round (96th overall selection) of the 2006 NFL draft out of Georgia Tech (from Pittsburgh), announces his alliance with http://www.NEWYORK.COM The Worlds Greatest Website.

New York is the media capital of the world, and its a blessing for me to have been drafted by the Giants which has always been one of my favorite teams, despite my having grown up out in Oakland, the heart of Raiders Country. In addition, its a blessing for me to be a spokesperson for and be a major part of NEWYORK.COM, which is fast becoming one of the most important media/Internet properties in the world. They dont call it the Worlds Greatest Website! for nothing.

Wilkinson, who projects to be an impact player for the Giants at either inside or outside linebacker position, was a 2005 All-American at Georgia Tech and was a perennial All-Conference standout during his collegiate career. Now, as Spokesperson for NEWYORK.COM, beginning in Fall 2006 Wilkinson will host exclusive chat sessions with fans in the New York area and around the country, he will showcase exclusive contests for chances to win tickets to games and to meet him in person, he will have his own section on the Website and, most importantly he will be promoting the publics use of the NEWYORK.COM website to benefit local and international charities and causes.

NEWYORK.COMs charity aspect was really the driving force that made me want to join forces with them so enthusiastically. The company has developed a patent pending business method that essentially converts the publics use of the website for any type of transactions everything from buying tickets to Giants and all other NFL and college and pro sports tickets, to buying concert tickets, admissions tickets to Disneyworld and other theme parks around the world, to making hotel reservations, renting cars, buying plane tickets, to something as seemingly insignificant as making an on-line restaurant reservation directly into a donation to charity in the users name for each and every transaction.

"Im particularly interested in helping to eradicate ovarian cancer, and in helping to fight AIDS and global warming. Use of NEWYORK.COM helps with funding big initiatives like these, but also is dedicated to donating money for the local Pop Warner football team, church groups, school clubs, fraternities, sororities, and more. I want to yell NEWYORK.COM from every rooftop and Ill be reaching out to my fellow pro athletes to do the same in an effort to make NEWYORK.COM the publics first choice for on line transactions.

http://www.NEWYORK.COM is the world's #1 geographic domain and facilitates e-commerce transactions on a global basis in fourteen foreign languages in the areas of Google-powered Internet search, the guaranteed best available rate at some 70,000 luxury hotels and discount hotels worldwide, 4,000 different sightseeing tours and theme park admission ticketing in 40 countries, airline ticket sales, airport shuttles, rental car reservations, restaurant savings certificates at more than 7,000 restaurants in the U.S., discounted on-line tee time reservations at more than 500 golf courses in the U.S., @newyork.com vanity email services, NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, boxing, concert, and major college sports event ticketing for all teams, as well as local directory search throughout the U.S.

Colorado Whitewater Rafting Company Scheduled to Open April 30 for the 2011 River Season

Buena Vista, CO (Vocus/PRWEB) April 12, 2011

River Runners, a Colorado whitewater rafting company with locations in Buena Vista and Canon City, will offer daily and overnight river trips on the Arkansas River Saturday, April 30 through Monday, September 5, 2011.

Eileen Peterson, general manager at River Runners, said that they expect a good water year due to the amount of snow in the high country.

The Arkansas River Basin snow pack is above average, especially in the northern reaches of the valley near the headwaters, Peterson said. This should translate to plenty of water on the Arkansas River this spring and summer.

River Runners operates out of two Colorado whitewater rafting locations The River Runners Riverside Rafting Resort, six miles south of Buena Vista, Colo.; and the Royal Gorge Rafting Center, eight miles west of Canon City, Colo. Participants can choose from family, intermediate and adventure class V whitewater on half day, full day and overnight rafting trips.

Our rafting facilities on the Arkansas River are centrally located near Colorado Springs, Denver and the Colorado ski areas in Summit County, Peterson said. We are an easy and scenic drive from any Colorado vacation destination and we offer trips that are appropriate for nearly all ages and abilities.

According to Peterson, River Runners is equipped to accommodate even the largest groups, because of the size of its facilities, convenient locations and streamlined logistics.

Whether you are a scouting group looking for a whitewater rafting merit badge class, an organization needing to raise money, or simply a group of friends or family hoping for some quality time together River Runners has a Colorado whitewater rafting package that will meet your needs, Peterson said. Call today for group rafting discount rates and special programs.

The River Runners Riverside rafting resort features three group campsites that range from $ 40- $ 50 per night and accommodate between 15-20 campers. Each site includes a fire pit, picnic tables and use of hot showers, bathrooms, sand volleyball court, and horseshoe pits.

Group campsites are already filling up, so the sooner the better if you want to reserve dates, Peterson said. However, if our campsites are booked we can suggest several other camping options that are very close to our property.

The riverside location also has a Riverside Bar and Grill that will be open seven days a week through the season with a menu that includes carne asada burritos, fish or chicken tacos, veggie burritos, children quesadillas and chips and salsa. The bar offers local micro brews, domestic pilsner, the legendary River Rummers and hand-made margaritas. Other beverage options include natural sodas, ice tea, organic milk and organic apple juice.

River Runners is offering a two-for-one rafting promotion on advanced bookings for all full-day trips scheduled for Sunday through Friday from May 1 to June 15.

These are premium whitewater rafting trips for essentially half price, Peterson said. An intermediate full-day rafting trip is only $ 45 per adult with the two-for-one special. I dont think you could find a better deal.

River Runners offers all-inclusive overnight Colorado whitewater rafting trips on the Arkansas River that can depart any day throughout the season with a minimum of four people. Dry bags and group camping gear included tents, sleeping bags and sleeping pads are available for rent.

River Runners offers Arkansas River trips through Pine Creek (class V), The Numbers (class IV), Browns Canyon (class III), Bighorn Sheep Canyon (class III) and The Royal Gorge (class IV-V).

Westport Connecticut Domain Address Exit18.com Sold

(PRWEB) August 23, 2006

Hot Web Holdings Ltd owned by internet entrepreneur Robert Glaser has purchased yet another piece of prime online real estate, Exit18.com (http://www.Exit18.com).

The sale price was not disclosed. Glaser would only reveal that when the domain was offered he instantly saw the potential for what he called another under utilized domain name.

The venerable location, exit 18 on I-95 in Connecticut, is the home to the Town of Westport, an affluent suburb of New York.

Mr. Glaser has been quietly buying prime domain names over the past year for development under the HOT brand name and for investment.

When pressed for what his plans were, the native Westport resident disclosed a search portal similar to Google, Yahoo or MSN but on a local level for the residents and businesses of the Town of Westport.

Local businesses can obtain top search position utilizing Exit18s own pay per click (PPC) advertising program similar to programs used by Google adWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsofts MSN adCenter. The cost of PPC is far less expensive than old line methods such as print, cable TV or other forms of media, and is far more effective. In addition Exit18s system features tools that allow clients total control of their budget, modification of their search listings and the ability to view statistics.

The benefit to local businesses is clearly local sales and service; from customers that prefer to deal with creditable businesses they can identify with, or need more personal attention than can be obtained online.

Westport residents get the added service of a local business, in addition to businesses throughout the internet. An additional advantage is local customers have the luxury of finding what they need online and picking it up or having it delivered.

Hot Web Holdings Ltd owns many sites but is best known for its online shopping mall The Hot Mall (http://www.TheHotMall.com) and online travel site Red Hot Travel (http://www.RedHotTravel.com).

The Hot Mall offers over 800 well known, brand name, trusted online shops. Red Hot Travel lets you book your travel online and also offers recommendations on attractions, restaurants, hotels, and general information for thousands of destinations.

As a founding member of Prodigy since 1983, Glaser is not new to the internet. He was on its cutting edge back in the mid-'90s after opening a retail business. In 1995, he created a web site for online sales and by the time he sold the business in 2003, "the web accounted for nearly 60 percent of the business," he said.

About Exit18.com:

Exit18.com is owned and operated by Hot Web Holdings Ltd. of Newtown, Connecticut. Hot Web Holdings Ltd owns a portfolio of popular websites developed around the HOT brand. (http://www.HotWebHoldings.com)

Why Companies and Recruiters Cant Afford to Ignore Mobile Recruitment

London (PRWEB UK) 11 October 2011

Companies and recruiters are in danger of losing their ideal candidates and damaging their reputation by not having a mobile recruitment strategy, according to Mike Taylor from Web Based Recruitment, organisers of Europes Mobile & Video in Recruitment Conference.

Taylor has just returned from attending North Americas first conference dedicated to mobile recruiting where he gained an insight into how mobile is being utilised by companies in the US and Canada compared to the UK and Europe.

I feel that the US and Canada are at a similar stage to the UK and Europe where you have a handful of companies who truly understand the reasons why mobile should be an essential part of a recruitment strategy and the benefits that mobile offers. However, this means that the majority of companies dont appreciate yet just how much mobile is going to affect them in the coming months and years.

EPA Recognizes ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress Among Nation's Leading Green Power Purchasers

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 15, 2008

ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress today announced its purchase of green power and its partnership with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Green Power Partnership. ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress is purchasing more than 220,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of green power annually, which is enough to meet 50 percent of the organization's purchased electricity use. ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress is buying renewable energy certificates (RECs) from Sterling Planet, a leading national supplier of green power products.

"This is a huge honor and we are proud to be recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," said David L. King, President. "Purchasing green power helps our organization become more sustainable, while also sending a message to others across the U.S. that supporting clean sources of electricity is a sound business decision and an important choice in reducing climate risk."

Green power is electricity that is generated from environmentally preferable renewable resources, such as wind, solar, geothermal, biogas, biomass and low-impact hydro. These resources generate electricity with a net zero increase in carbon dioxide emissions, while offering a superior environmental profile compared to traditional power generation sources. Green power purchases also support the development of new renewable energy generation sources nationwide.

According to the U.S. EPA, ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress' green power purchase of more than 220,000 (kWh) is equivalent to avoiding the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of more than 31 passenger vehicles per year, or is the equivalent amount of electricity needed to power nearly 23 average American homes annually.

The Samson Cart has undergone Indoor Air Quality emissions testing by an independent laboratory and is currently listed on the Greenguard website as a low-emitting product. ICB, LLC - Samson Carts/CrateXpress has adopted the Social Accountability Institute's SA8000 standard and is currently being audited and evaluated for Cradle-To-Cradle certification.

Since 2001, sales of renewable energy to 1,355 business clients, 47 colleges and universities, 138 government agencies, 58 utilities and thousands of residential customers have avoided more than 25 billon pounds of carbon dioxide emissions, which compares to taking 2.3 million cars off the road for a year. http://www.sterlingplanet.com

About EPA's Green Power Partnership

The Green Power Partnership is a voluntary program that encourages organizations to buy green power as a way to reduce the environmental impacts associated with purchased electricity use. The Partnership currently has hundreds of Partner organizations voluntarily purchasing billions of kilowatt-hours of green power annually.

Zerona Laser During clinical trials, Zerona Lipo Laser resulted in an average reduction of 3.6 inches from patients waist, hips and thighs. Unlike invasive surgery, Zerona is a revolutionary non-invasive method that employs external laser illumination. Zerona laser treatments are a cold laser technology. The treatments are painless and reduce the safety concerns associated with traditional plastic surgery or with non-invasive devices that rely on heating the tissue. This new technology has been proven to reduce fat volume and inches from target areas including abdomen, back, hips, thighs, buttocks, chin, neck and arms. In addition, Zerona contours and reshapes the body and tightens and tones loose skin. This completely painless procedure involves a series of six to nine treatments over the course of two to three weeks. Patients lie on a table while the low-level laser affects fat cells, causing fat cell contents to be released and then naturally removed. Patients also follow a daily protocol including mild physical activity (walking), water intake and oral supplements, all of which enhance the fat reduction process.

Comikaze Expos official Spooksperson, Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, will sign autographs, pose for photos with fans and take part in various events throughout the Expo.

Elvira became a household name with Elviras Movie Macabre, the first nationally syndicated horror movie show. The weekly series featured the sexy, outrageous movie hostess sharp wit and clever banter throughout her tongue-in-cheek commentary of B-movie classics. Her reign as Queen of Halloween spans three decades and includes two feature films, her long-running series and two motion control rides. Her appearance at Comikaze Expo honors the events commitment to horror fans and promises a memorable experience for all.

Its about time all of my boob-tube fans who've never been lucky enough to say hi in person come out to meet me, said Elvira. This will be everybody's last chance to see this busty, beehived broad in the flesh (and not much else!), so jump on that Red Line and head to the L.A. Convention Center, darling. As the hostess with the mostest, Im gonna bring a little class to this event if it's the last thing I do. Oh yeah, it IS the last thing I'll do. Whatever.

We are beyond thrilled and overwhelmed that Elvira is our official Spooksperson and is making her final convention appearance right here in L.A., where it all started for her, says Comikaze Expo CEO Regina Carpinelli. Since she burst onto the horror scene, shes been a pop culture pioneer, and is a gorgeous, brilliantly funny woman who never disappoints her fans. Its an incredible honor to have her be a part of Comikaze. Carpinelli is encouraging fans to dress like Elvira at Comikaze in honor of the stars final convention appearance.

Willie Nelson Helps Best Friends Animal Society Speak Out in Favor of Ending Canine Profiling in Ohio

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Legendary singer/songwriter Willie Nelson knows a thing or two about outlaws, but hes quick to fight for the rights of those who undeservingly end up on the wrong side of the law.

Nelson is using his famous voice to speak out in support of the favorable and quick passage of Ohio House Bill 14, legislation that would remove canine profiling from Ohios books. The bill already has passed the Ohio House of Representatives and is up for consideration by the Senate.

Ohio is the only state in the country that automatically declares a dog vicious based solely on appearance, without considering behavior. Any pit bull terrier-type dog or any dog resembling a pit bull falls under this discriminatory law. HB 14 would remove this breed-discriminatory designation and strengthen the states dangerous dog laws so that they more correctly target reckless owners and dangerous dogs instead of innocent pets.

Twelve other states protect canines with laws that prohibit local governments from declaring dogs dangerous based solely on breed or appearance.

Nelson, who speaks out on animal welfare issues for Best Friends Animal Society, has written a letter encouraging Ohio residents to contact their senators and the committee members and urge them to support HB 14. More information and simple ways to take action are available here: http://www.capwiz.com/bestfriends/issues/alert/?alertid=51163691

Those wanting to support HB-14 can do so by signing a petition at Change.org (http://www.change.org/petitions/ohio-legislators-pass-hb-14-to-end-breed-discrimination). To date more than 11,000 have supported the bill.

Nelsons letter, sent on behalf of dog lovers everywhere, asks senators vote to overturn the statewide discrimination against dogs who share a cluster of physical characteristics by classifying this group as vicious without any regard to individual dog behavior. Because of current law, these dogs are considered vicious at birth, even though there are countless dogs deemed pit bulls but actually are of unknown heritage who make wonderful family pets.

His letter goes on to say: Dogs, like people, are individuals and should each be judged on his/her own merits. The simple truth is that breed is not a factor in bites, and HB 14 is an important public safety measure that will protect individuals from any dangerous dog, no matter what the dogs appearance or heritage.

In addition to the high-profile support of Nelson, actress and activist Maggie Q also urges passage of HB 14 through a YouTube video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9HrXmE_jtc And actor Ian Somerhalder uses Twitter to garner his fans support for the bill and recommends they send letters and sign the petition.

Breed-discriminatory laws are expensive and have been proven ineffective in protecting the public. According to economic research firm John Dunham and Associates, it costs Ohioans more than $ 17 million a year to enforce the existing law. In these tough economic times, laws that waste precious taxpayer dollars while failing to reduce dog bites are tragically misguided. Animal control officers and dog wardens focus their efforts on dangerous dogs running at large, not targeting peoples pets who are doing nothing more than being dogs with a certain appearance.

States are encouraged to adopt breed-neutral dangerous dog laws that focus on the causes of dog aggressionirresponsible owners whose dogs are not trained or socialized, or whose dogs are abused, neglected or forced to live on chains.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, dogs not spayed or neutered are nearly three times more likely to bite than sterilized dogs. Chained dogs bite nearly three times more often than unchained dogs. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports that intact males are responsible for 70-76 percent of reported bites.

Many states have passed laws that allow all dogs to be evaluated and treated as individuals and permit local jurisdictions the authority to hold reckless owners accountable for the behavior of their dogs.

Best Friends Animal Society works to help pit bulls through its national pit bull initiatives, which battle everything from these dogs sensationalized reputation to legislation designed to bring about their extinction. The initiatives goal is to end discrimination against all dogs - because they are individuals and should be treated as such.

As part of its ongoing national outreach, Best Friends works with humane groups all across the country to bring about a time when there are No More Homeless Pets

San Mateo, Calif. (Vocus) August 19, 2009

This school year, the passage of Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act will change the face of college debt -- and Bills.com offers a "syllabus" of six ways for students to gain money smarts along with a diploma.

Many college students build up tremendous amounts of debt. Between 2001 and 2007, student loan balances rose 18 percent to an average of $ 22,700 per borrower. In 2008, 84 percent of college undergraduates had at least one credit card, and students are carrying record-high balances -- an average $ 3,173 in 2008. More than one in five students (21 percent) had credit card balances between $ 3,000 and $ 7,000.

But this year marks a turning point in college-student debt: With the passage this year of the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act, this is the last semester that credit card lenders will be able to solicit students in person and on campus to open credit cards. It is also the last semester in which credit card companies will be permitted to issue cards to applicants under age 21 without an adult co-signer or proof of adequate income.

For those heading to campus, Ethan Ewing, president of free online consumer portal Bills.com, offers this roster of college disciplines to help students obtain straight As in personal finance:

The donation campaign attracted 4,485 fans who liked and shared this noble cause. Stories of children with brain tumors and their families posted on USBSI page also encouraged and inspired many.

The PBTF is the worlds largest source of funding for pediatric brain tumor research. It also offers support to patients and their families with educational literature and college scholarships.

Chris Chang, president of USBSI, explained the companys compassion behind the donation campaign. Just as important as any monetary contribution we make is to increase the awareness, even if by just a few people that is brought to the cause. Facebook is our means of accomplishing both goals this year. We hope more voices will lead more people to learn more about the PBTFs great work and extend their helping hands.

USBSIs support is much appreciated, said Dianne Traynor, PBTF president and chairman of the board.

ShalinIndia Brings Thalis Dinnerware Plates for Eating Indian Food with Fingers

New Delhi, India (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

An India online shopping store has begun to sell to international online customers uniquely designed dinner plates and serving bowls that facilitate eating Indian food with fingers. Since ancient times Indians have perfected the art of eating with fingers. Connoisseurs vouch that Indian food is best relished when eaten with fingers.

For those living in different parts of the world and wanting to eat Indian food the Indian way, here is news. They will be able to order online and have home delivered unique dinnerware sets called thalis that is designed to help eating with fingers. Variety of curries are an integral part of Indian cuisine and it is not easy to eat them with fingers using western dinnerware. There is always a risk of curries flowing out of the normal plates while eating with fingers. Elevated outer rim at 90 degree helps prevent curries to flow out of the plate.

Each thali set consists of dinner plate, four small serving bowls, a spoon, and a glass tumbler. The spoon is used for taking out curries from the serving bowls. The four small size bowls are used for serving different curries, daal (lentils), and sometimes, even sweets. Traditionally, sweets are often served along with the main meal. As the serving bowls are always kept inside the thali, the size of the thali is larger than the normal plate. Only the tumbler is kept outside the thali while eating food in traditional style. Unlike Western or Middle Eastern ways where food is placed at the center of the dining table and everyone serves himself from the central serving bowls, in the traditional Indian system, all the food for a person is served at once, right at the beginning on the thali dinnerware set, explained Shalini Verma, founder of ShalinIndia.

Specific design modifications have been made in these thalis to accommodate preferences of many non-Indians. In order that food does not come in contact with copper the thalis have been made two layered. The layer that comes directly in contact with the food is made of stainless steel and the outer layer is made of copper so that it gives the visual effect of authentic Indian dining. Besides, the air trapped between the two layers of metals ensures that the food served on the thali stays warm longer, said Shalini.

"We have kept inventories of Indian ethnic dinnerware sets in the US, UK, France, and Germany. This helps us reduce shipment time and we are able to deliver orders to customers in 3 to 5 days. Customers do not pay any shipping charges, nor do they have to pay towards customs duties," added Shalini.

ShalinIndia is an online shopping store from India that sells products derived from India's rich and diverse art and crafts. The company sells its products not only through its own online store, but also through marketplaces Amazon, Ebay, Bonanza, Atomic Mall, and Webstore. All items shown on the website are available in inventory. Orders are shipped within 24 hours and delivered in 3 to 5 days.

The credit union re-directed part of their internal SEO budget to the GoBankingRates campaign, seeing a value-add in the highly-targeted and relevant traffic already visiting the sites of interest, including: LosAngelesBankingRates.com, PasadenaBankingRates.com, NorwalkBankingRates.com, and LakeHavasuBankingRates.com.

Beginning with the second quarter of 2011, LA Financial Credit Union re-focused their advertising campaign, seeking to attract consumers in designated market areas to their low auto loan rates. The campaign features revised banners and new creative spotlights on the aforementioned Los Angeles county and Lake Havasu, AZ, sites. Verbiage such as: Save up to 25%! and Getting a Great Rate is as Easy as 1, 2, 3! hooks consumers as they peruse content within the websites. The credit union cites a lift in loan applications and an increase in overall brand awareness as a result.

Renee Mackanin, Vice President of Marketing at LA Financial Credit Union states: Weve been advertising within ConsumerTracks GoBankingRates web community since 2010. They have consistently delivered to us extremely-relevant consumer traffic from within our designated market areas of Los Angeles, CA, Norwalk, CA, Pasadena, CA, and Lake Havasu, AZ. Additionally, ConsumerTrack provides fast turnaround on creative, is on top of traffic metrics and communicates with us in a timely manner. We have experienced a noticeable lift in our Auto Loans, are pleased with ROI and very happy with this campaign!

Their ability to provide consumers with superior auto financing allows us to market premium loan products that our consumers seek.

Sencha Rocks Interactive Brand Advertising on Mobile Devices

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 03, 2011

(Adobe MAX, booth 214): Sencha, the leading provider of HTML5 frameworks and tools for desktop and mobile application developers, has shipped Sencha Animator, the industrys first commercial tool optimized for the creation of CSS3-based animations that run plug-in free. Note to media: a comprehensive press kit is available online.

Sencha Animator enables professional designers and advertising creatives to leverage Web standards and create highly engaging, cross-platform animations for WebKit browsers, the latest Internet Explorer 10, and popular touchscreen mobile devices. Using Sencha Animator, creatives can build rich advertising experiences for the Web that engage more viewers on a wider range of devices, boosting click-through rates and campaign ROI.

CSS3 animations offer both cross-platform and performance advantages over JavaScript- and Flash-based animations on mobile devices, said Michael Mullany, CEO of Sencha. Sencha Animator provides complete creative control over the animation via a familiar user interface, and also exports human-readable, standards-based CSS that can be edited for custom modifications. Read more about Sencha Animator on the Sencha blog.

Mobile is no longer optional. Sencha Animator fills the gap in Web animation tools and helps us deliver a new level of mobile creative," said Marc Infield, partner at Infield Design. "The timeline interface is so familiar that we were producing HTML5/CSS animations in no time. And with the actions interface, creating complex interactions is intuitive. That's what I'd expect from the people who brought us Ext JS."

Author and deliver rich, immersive experiences using Web standards

Until now, creating animations with CSS3 has been a painstaking manual process accessible only to designers with advanced coding skills. With Sencha Animator, any designer can create CSS3 ads that rival rich-media ads made with traditional desktop applications. Sencha Animator provides complete creative control over the animation via a familiar user interface, and also offers further customization using the JavaScript language.

Sencha Animator has opened the door to creating rich, complex animations using HTML5 and CSS3, said Corey Lansdell, co-owner of Pulp Studios. We build character-based animations that require lots of keyframes and tweening. With Sencha Animator, tools like motion-path tracking and timeline workflow aid us in building lush, fluid character movements. These and other tools limit the need for extensive programming, which is a huge cost savings.

Sencha Animator extends the Sencha range of tools for Web app developers

Sencha delivers application frameworks that enable developers to create rich applications for web browsers and mobile devices using web standards like HTML5 and CSS3. Sencha Animator and Sencha Touch deliver a powerful mobile application and animation environment for developers and creative designers.
