NCTA selects Vibe as its solution provider

Agreement provides new self-publishing solution for The National Show

ST. LOUIS – April 07, 2006 - Vibe Solutions Group, a leader in broadband rich-media consumer applications, announced today that its new Vibe Journal product is being utilized by the NCTA (National Cable & Telecommunications Association) to help build community dialogue around The 2006 National Show, NCTA’s 55th Annual Convention and International Exposition, April 9-11 in Atlanta, GA.

“The National Show is the cable industry’s principal annual trade show, and there’s plenty going on within and outside of the exhibit hall and educational sessions – too much for any one person to assimilate in real time.  So our delegates should find this application to be a welcome tool for obtaining updates on all the action,” said Barbara York, Senior Vice President, Industry Affairs, NCTA. “Vibe Journal’s ease-of-use and media-rich publishing capabilities provide us the right platform to make this happen.”

Utilizing Vibe Journal, NCTA has created The National Show Insider which is linked to The National Show website (www.thenationalshow.com/insider/). NCTA staff members have begun populating the journal with content about the show and will keep the site continually updated throughout the three-day event.  The NCTA Journal powered by Vibe will be showcased on all association-sponsored computer stations at The 2006 National Show.

"We are very excited that NCTA has chosen Vibe Journal to communicate and collaborate with members and attendees,” said Ted Briscoe, president of Vibe. “Journal is the ideal solution for partners seeking to build community, leverage their own content, and allow individual users to easily create and publish rich media with drag-and-drop simplicity.”

Vibe Journal allows partners to create a compelling self-publishing solution for their customers that combines the flexibility of personal web page applications and the entry-based publishing approach of traditional blogs. Core features of Vibe Journal include:

  • The ability to easily drag-and-drop media into place with the Vibe Media Widget
  • Support for more than 100 different media file types
  • Record and publish directly in-page using a webcam
  • Edit-in-place for any entry
  • Dozens of template and style combinations
  • Publishing from an email address or mobile phone

In addition, Vibe Journal’s partner customization provides for partner application branding, website branding, and customization for styles and templates. Vibe Journal will be showcased in the Vibe booth at The National Show at the Georgia World Congress Center, booth 3470.
