bo, this PR clearly shows the marketing strategy that they will be implementing in China. Social networking sites are the place to be and this connection with GBQ is awesome. "GBQ, established in 2000, currently has 2 million registered users, mainly 18 to 35 years of age, and mostly college students."
The GBQ members are precisely the demographic that will quickly embrace QODE and espouse its' benefits.
At the same time NeoMedia is announcing to its' peers, and other social networking sites,(can you say MYSPACE?)that they are establishing themselves in the largest mobile market in the world. Not what I would call a useless PR. If you are putting a value on a PR based on whether it puts money in your pocket at its' time of release, you are not seeing the big picture.IMO
Also, most importantly NeoMedia is informing the shareholders of the progress being made in China in establishing the adoption of QODE. Aren't there numerous complaints daily that Management doesn't communicate? Listen to what they are saying, connect the dots. You know this is not a blue chip stock, buy ADBE, or XOM if you expect revenues from every PR. We are trading at .06 today, but I think it is worth 10 times that right now, even though they are still losing money. That is why I still own it. JMHO
NeoMedia Signs Agreement to Bring qode® Direct-to-Mobile Web Technology to China
New NeoMedia Social Networking Partner in China Has 2 Million Registered Users
FORT MYERS, Fla. & BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM), a leader in market-driven technologies, today announced expansion of its marketing efforts in China through an agreement to provide its flagship direct-to-mobile-web qode® technology for a popular social networking Web site with more than 2 million registered users.
NeoMedia said it signed an agreement with Cyber Century (www.cybercentury.com.cn) of City Here, a leading Internet marketing firm, whose client list includes Cisco® Systems, Nokia®, Motorola®, Intel®, Hewlett Packard®, Lucent, and China Mobile, the market leader in mobile services in China. Cyber Century operates www.gbq.cn - for "girl, boy and Q (for question)." GBQ, established in 2000, currently has 2 million registered users, mainly 18 to 35 years of age, and mostly college students.
Industry research provided through Cyber Century shows that the average user page view at GBQ is twice that of other social networking sites in China, and that GBQ has on-line dialogue between 10,000-plus members at any time. GBQ sponsors various off-line activities for members to meet in major cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai.
"The off-line strategy implemented by Cyber Century for GBQ fits very well with qode® and its ability to link users by clicking on smart codes with mobile camera phones," said Martin Copus, president of NeoMedia Mobile and COO of the parent U.S.-based company. "With qode®, GBQ members will be just a click away from finding out more about how, when and where to meet other GBQers."
NeoMedia's patented qode (www.qode.com) suite of easy-to-use applications includes qode®reader, which provides One Click to Content™ connectivity for products, print, packaging and other physical objects to link directly to specific desired content on the Mobile Internet. qode®reader works with camera phones, letting users "click" on two-dimensional "smart codes" to connect directly to targets. GBQ will use qode to connect its members to each other in the real world, using the mobile Internet to provide personal and locational interaction.
NeoMedia, Mr. Copus said, will implement its launch of qode® for Cyber Century and GBQ in two stages:
• First offering members a "GBQ smart code" to encourage them to sign up as a "VIP GBQ Code Holder," and • Then inviting VIP GBQ Code Holders to special free events, offering discounts, etc.
Revenue with Every Click
Mr. Copus said "every click by a VIP GBQ Code Holder will generate revenues," with per-click and monthly plans available to users.
The NeoMedia qode®-based VIP GBQ program will be promoted throughout China on the popular "Super Girl" talent search contest, and used to vote for the winner among the 24 finalists, with each assigned a smart code.
Mr. Copus said that NeoMedia is now readying its JAVA-based qode® application to run on Chinese handsets. He said GBQ members will be invited on the GBQ Web site to provide their mobile number, mobile manufacturer and model, and will then be sent a link for quick and easy over-the-air (OTA) download of the qode® Mobile Software.
