eDoorways Impresses Convention Goers at SXSW's Interactive Festival - Increasing Online User Base
(Market Wire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) AUSTIN, TX -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/15/10 --
The eDoorways Corporation (PINKSHEETS: EDWY) has had a tremendous amount of success thus far at the South By
Southwest (SXSW) Interactive
Festival. With an amazingly designed booth, situated on prime
convention floor real estate and next to one of the biggest names in
web-technology, eDoorways has done nothing less than impress not only
convention attendees but neighboring presenters. Surprising prospective
users with a live demonstration of the eDoorways iPhone® App, along with
the heAR Augmented Reality
App launched this past weekend by eSee Technologies, the
web-based software technology company has increased its user base by
signing an estimated 70% of those attendees visiting its booth.
Mr. Gary Kimmons, Chairman & CEO of the eDoorways Corporation, stated, "We
are still marveling at the attention our booth has received in just two
days. Compliments to its design and presentation are echoed by the high
number of physical sign-ups achieved within in the first 48 hours of the
festival, along with the caliber of the visitors to our booth. I am
confident that this event will serve us positively in the months to come."
As an incubator of cutting-edge technologies, showcasing the most creative
technology from around the globe, the Interactive Festival portion of SXSW
has grown substantially. With eDoorways poised to benefit from the
estimated 40,000 people expected to attend the festival this year, Gary
Kimmons kicked off the event by addressing the press at the conference's
media event. Giving reporters an overview, Kimmons offered the press a
look into an internet service offering geared toward total personalization
and access to information through advanced intelligent technologies.
Through the power of the revolutionary "PowerKeys," the significant
possibilities of social networking in "pods" and easy access to the
"cloud," Kimmons spoke of an internet that through the use of eDoorways,
could possibly be more powerful than ever imagined.
The company's booth has been well received at the Interactive Tradeshow.
Set up with six computers for attendee use, eDoorways representatives are
kept busy giving around the clock demonstrations of platform. With a
couple hundred attendees visiting the booth over the weekend, feedback has
been positive with eDoorways registering close to 200 new customers on
site. Positioned as social networking combined with advanced search
technologies -- where search results are not just web pages but connections
to real people in real time, on and offline -- the company has received
nods of approval from both attendees and presenters alike; generating
strong interest across the board. Having been approached by various
local, domestic and international companies inquiring about "White Label"
opportunities, it's been suggested that eDoorways' core functionality could
greatly enhance current operations at a variety of corporate and government
organizations.
Using SXSW as an opportunity to unveil future developments, the company
also demonstrated their iPhone® application. Scheduled to be submitted
to the Apple iTunes Store in April 2010, attendees were impressed by the
ability to have live multi-level chats on their mobile phones, searching
and joining the same exact conversations as those using the demonstration
laptops.
"So much of the internet is going mobile and getting there quite rapidly in
fact," stated Ann Collins, eDoorways Social Media Consultant and Solve
Project Manager. "It is important that we remain ahead of the curve by
developing our mobile platforms parallel too our desk-top web service
offerings... if not ahead of it."
The heAR Augmented Reality Application, which also speaks to the company's
pursuit of a strong and sophisticated mobile presence, was launched over
the weekend by eSee Technologies. Meant to allow attendees the ability to
navigate a virtual guide of the music and film festival, eSee Technologies
hopes to afford Apple iPhone® & Android? phone users (newest models)
the ability to point mobile phone cameras at any location participating in
the festival and see performance schedules, film schedules, learn about
performing artist, tag a location, etc. While at this time the heAR
Austin App isn't supported by the eDoorways platform, for social media
purposes, attendees can still share their experience though other social
media services such as Facebook & Twitter.
As expected, SXSW is already proving to be an incredible opportunity for
eDoorways. With possible funding offers from venture capital firms and
inquires from mega size technology companies, eDoorways appears to be
gaining momentum and strength. Should the eDoorways continue to garner
such positive attention, the web-based, social networking and advanced
search technology software company may soon become a likely acquisition
target for any larger tech outfit lacking the component eDoorways can
deliver.
