Podcasting Network For Web Marketers

 

A Podcasting Network For Web Marketers and Technologists: Media Swamp Gaining Listeners, Attracting Advertisers

The Media Swamp Podcasting Network, a podcast hosting service and information network featuring original and syndicated podcasts and vodcasts available for download, has debuted at www.mediaswamp.com.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 31, 2006 -– The Media Swamp Podcasting Network, a podcast hosting service and information network featuring original and syndicated podcasts and vodcasts available for download, has debuted at www.mediaswamp.com.

Currently focusing on Web 2.0, search marketing, web design, social networking and web development, Media Swamp expects to carry other genres of podcasts soon and has begun experimenting with podcasts produced purely for entertainment.

“As an interactive marketing professional, I advise clients on podcasting strategies and how to make the most of this medium,” said Giovanni Gallucci of Media Swamp, “so it seemed only fitting that I be able to steer them toward a safe and convenient place to host their podcasts.”

Live for a little over a month; Media Swamp is monitoring increasing traffic and download activity. Media Swamp is currently developing an advertising model in response to an increasing number of inquiries regarding sponsorship.

“We are in the very dawn of this medium,” said Dave Wilkie of Media Swamp, “and there are developments coming that will make podcasting a very attractive vehicle for advertisers. As always, the bottom line is the number of listeners, viewers or readers that you can show a potential advertiser. We believe Media Swamp will be a very cost effective way for businesses to reach targeted consumers, whether through ads on the site itself or within the podcasts.”

“Downloading a show has benefits to an advertiser over streaming,” said Gallucci, “and though we have plans to offer streaming voice and video casts soon, the attraction of downloading to an advertiser is the portability of the show. The user takes it with them and listens on their time. Maybe they listen two or three times. Maybe they email it to colleagues. The potential for exposure in that sort of viral model is unknown, but to start with, you must be able to show download numbers, and we’ve got the numbers already.”    

Media Swamp currently features the following shows: The AgencyCast, Cocoa Radio, KinetiCast, Mad Techie, Radio Free Babylon, and The Reach.

New 12-Channel Analog Model

ELAN Home Systems Begins Shipping New A1240 The Seventh Benchmark-Setting Amp in Comprehensive Digital and Analog Lineup 
 
New York, NY - May 15 2006 - New 12-Channel Analog Model Packs Sound, Power and Features in Keeping With ELAN Tradition of Delivering Quality Amplifier at Great Price Points

 

LEXINGTON, KY-- ELAN® Home Systems, a leading manufacturer of award-winning Multi-Room audio/video and home control systems, announced today that it has expanded its well-established line of digital and analog amplifiers with the shipment of the A1240. The introduction of the 12-channel A1240 represents the seventh product entry in ELAN’s powerful power amp line geared to custom installers. The announcement was made by Paul Starkey ELAN’s Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

 

In making the announcement Mr. Starkey stated, “We are pleased to announce that the A1240 is now shipping to our Dealers. This analog amp builds upon our well-established line and fills a critical mid-point pricing void which makes the ELAN line even more compelling for the Custom Installation Dealer. ELAN’s line of amps is unmatched within the industry when it comes to price, performance and innovation in both analog and digital technologies.”

 

With the A1240 shipping, ELAN Dealers now have access to an exceptionally well-rounded and powerful lineup of seven unique power amp alternatives. Between the analog and digital series with models that range from $500 to $2,200 retail price, Dealers are now able to satisfy the requirements of every client and installation with 2-channel, 6-channel, 12-channel and 16-channel models.

 

The A1240 Power Amplifier joins ELAN’s other award-winning analog amplifiers which include the Z660 and Z300. With its 12 channels of power well fitted to in-wall and in-ceiling speakers, the A1240 offers advanced features such as Audio Sensing, Stereo/Mono Bussing, and Trigger Inputs/Outputs to make it the premier amplifier in its price range.

 

Using easy-to-configure DIP switches, any A1240 input can be combined or bussed to any output without the use of additional patch cables. Bus Loop Outputs allow for easy connection to additional amplifiers, A/V receivers, and other components.

 

The A1240’s six +12VDC Trigger Inputs uniquely allow each pair of channels to be activated independently. The System Trigger Input turns on all channels when a signal is received, while the System Trigger Output sends a +12VDC pulse whenever any of the channels of the amplifier are on. The A1240’s Audio Sense circuit mutes or un-mutes channels based upon whether an audio signal is detected or not.

 

Additionally, each of the A1240’s 12 channels also features an Audio Loop Output, making for the easy creation of stereo and mono sub-zones and enabling users to route independent channel audio to additional amplifiers or audio processors. Individual Channel Level Adjustments allow users to fine-tune each channel’s level using precision potentiometers while removable, locking speaker terminals make for quick and secure speaker connections.

 

Rated at 40 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms, the feature-rich A1240 is powerful enough for almost any distributed audio application, yet is only two rack spaces high. An optional rack mount kit, the RMK3, is sold separately.

 

The A1240 carries an MSRP of $1,220.00.

PharmaPod Podcast Product Of Pharmaceutical and Medical Partners

 

South Jersey Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Alliance Launches “South Jersey PharmaPod” Podcast Series With Lubetkin Communications

The South Jersey Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Industry Alliance (SJPMTIA), taking advantage of rising interest in Internet-distributed audio programs (known as “podcasts”), has partnered with Cherry Hill-based Lubetkin Communications to launch “South Jersey PharmaPod,” a podcast to distribute information about the role of the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries in Southern New Jersey.

Cherry Hill, NJ (PRWEB) May 9, 2006 -- The South Jersey Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Industry Alliance (SJPMTIA), taking advantage of rising interest in Internet-distributed audio programs (known as “podcasts”), has partnered with Cherry Hill-based Lubetkin Communications to launch “South Jersey PharmaPod,” a podcast to distribute information about the role of the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries in Southern New Jersey.

The first three episodes of the podcast provide complete coverage of SJPMTIA’s spring conference, held May 2 at The Enterprise Center at Burlington County College. The programs are available for downloading and listening on computers or digital audio players at no charge at the SJPMTIA’s website (www.sjpmtia.org), at the podcast blog, http://sjpharmapod.blogspot.com or via RSS “feed” from http://feeds.feedburner.com/sjpharmapod.

PharmaPod Episode #1 includes remarks by former Rep. Bob Franks, president of the Healthcare Institute of New Jersey and former Gov. James J. Florio, both of whom spoke at the conference. Episode #2 includes a panel of pharmaceutical industry lobbyists, and a presentation on blogs and podcasting by Steve Lubetkin, Managing Partner of Lubetin Communications. Episode #3 presents a panel of state legislators including NJ State Sens. Diane Allen and Martha Bark, and Assemblyman Jack Conners.

“We are very excited to be partnering with Lubetkin Communications to take advantage of podcasting technology to reach our members and other interested audiences,” said Don Sico, SJPMTIA Executive Director. “Podcasting has especially useful applications for companies in our industry, such as distributing educational programming for traveling sales representatives, medical and allied professionals, with worldwide availability.”

“Using a podcast to provide useful information to its members and their customers demonstrates that SJPMTIA has a clear vision for best-practices integration of such new social media into business applications, and underscores SJPMTIA’s leading position in the trade association field,” said Steven L. Lubetkin, managing partner of Lubetkin & Co. Communications. “Like SJPMTIA, other companies should understand that podcasts can provide clients and other constituencies mission-critical information conveniently, without tying those audiences to a less-flexible programming format like a conference call or a web stream, where busy and time-constrained participants must gather at a common time. Podcast listeners get the information they need -- at a time when they want it.”

Podcasts are digital audio or video recordings distributed using Internet technology. Visitors to an organization’s website can download podcast programs for review on their desktop computers, or synchronize them with a portable digital media device. Software programs called “feed readers” or “podcatchers” allow users to “subscribe” to podcasts at no cost, and receive new programs in a podcast series automatically.

In addition to the other web locations mentioned, the South Jersey PharmaPod Podcast is available through the Podcasts section of the Apple iTunes Music Store (www.itunes.com).

Lubetkin Communications is a leading provider of business podcasting services in New Jersey and Eastern Pennsylvania. The firm launched its Internet broadcasting practice in April 2005, counseling clients about the effective use of podcasts and weblogs, or “blogs,” online journals that facilitate two-way communications with customers, employees, and others.

Earlier this year, Lubetkin Communications produced a podcast for ACE-INA Insurance and for Sun National Bank, Vineland, NJ, for the launch of its Sun Home Loans mortgage subsidiary. In January 2006, the firm began producing podcasts for the Rutgers University School of Business Administration’s popular Quarterly Business Outlook Seminar. It also produces podcasts for NJBankers, a trade association representing major banks in New Jersey, and for the Public Relations Society of America. The firm also produces its own podcasts focusing on public relations, computer technology, bond ratings, and interviews with book authors.

Lubetkin, a veteran of more than 25 years in corporate communications, a newspaper columnist and former broadcast news anchor, is a frequent speaker on technologies like blogging and podcasting. He also hosted more than 1,000 investor relations conference calls during a ten-year career on Wall Street that included producing the first-ever audio webcasts by a global bond rating agency. Lubetkin & Co. specializes in strategic communications advice for corporate clients, executives, and other organizations. Its website is www.lubetkin.net.

The South Jersey Pharmaceutical and Medical Technology Industry Alliance is a group of men and women united to highlight the relationship between the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries and the South Jersey economy. Its common interest and goal is to advance and protect this critical segment of our area economy.

Editors, Note: Mr. Lubetkin is available to discuss how podcasting technology can help organizations communicate effectively with their audiences. Copies of the South Jersey PharmaPod Podcasts are available on request. Please call Steve Lubetkin at (856) 751-5491.
