BOSTON, Sept. 26, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Push Your Point!, a leader in software for posting virtual notes and messages on the internet, announced today that it has launched its web site www.PushYourPoint.com. The site allows users to create and post innovative virtual notes containing text, links, images, and other multi-media content.
The patent-pending software driving the site allows the user to post their note anywhere on multiple web pages. "It's as if we have created a virtual, on-line version of the community notice board you are familiar with at your local super market or Laundromat," said Stephen Major, Vice President for Development at Push Your Point!. "Users can even stick their note over someone else's note -- it will then be up to the owner of that note to revisit the site, and stick their note back up to the front of the board. This adds a sense of fun to the whole process, and is also a great means of exponentially increasing traffic to our site."
Users will be able to choose which page or "Notice Board" they post their note to, in order to more accurately target the audience they wish to reach. Currently, the site includes categories such as "For Sale," "Events," "Housing," "Personals," "Services," and "Jobs."
Visitors to the site will be able to view the notes and remove overlying notes to see others lying under them, just by clicking on them. "It's a very interactive experience, which I think will appeal to many users," said Mr. Major. "It's also a very cost-effective way of sharing information with a potentially very wide audience -- and unlike search sites, where a premium position on the site commands a premium price, our site allows anyone to have a premium position, so long as they are willing to regularly visit the site and re-post their note."
In addition to providing the opportunity to create and post virtual notes, Push Your Point! will sell advertising banners which will be displayed at the edges of each of the web pages on the site. "This provides an additional source of revenue for the company," said Peter Rothschild, Director for Business Development at Push Your Point!. "The requirement that users must revisit the site frequently to keep their note displayed in a prominent position will be attractive to advertisers, and will enhance the revenues coming from our advertising."
As part of the initial launch, Push Your Point! will be offering reduced rates for posting notes on the site.
