GOGII Launches textPlus Application on the Android Market

Marina del Rey, Calif. (PRWEB) January 4, 2010

GOGII, Inc. announces today the launch of textPlus, its popular next generation texting application, on the Android Market. Previously available only on the Apple App Store, the unique textPlus app now brings sponsor-supported free and unlimited messaging to Android users and allows them to have instant group "conversations" in text with friends on most U.S. carriers.

"We've already seen overwhelming consumer response to the textPlus app in the Apple App Store thanks to the millions of consumers who've embraced our game-changing features - from casual texters to the staggering number of consumers who text as their primary mode of communication," said Scott Lahman, CEO and co-founder of GOGII. "We're pleased to make textPlus available to Android users, and offer even more text-happy mobile consumers this tricked-out, next generation

texting service."

By leveraging GOGII's interactive messaging technology, textPlus allows both old-style texting - one-to-one conversations - and next generation texting - rich, engaging environments and instant group text conversations. A useful 'reply-all' feature, similar to email, turns texting into a chatroom that lets users make plans with several friends at once, introduce people to one another or just carry on a group conversation - all in text and all for free.

Additional features make it easy for Android texters to make textPlus their preferred SMS service, including the international ability to send free messages from abroad to friends in the U.S. using a U.S. 10-digit phone number and free Notifications when messages come into the app, even when closed. What's more, textPlus lets Android users communicate with friends who aren't using the app - they simply pay for texts through their existing carrier plan.

GOGII expects the textPlus Android app to be met with the same degree of consumer fervor on the Android Market that it has on the Apple App Store. To date, the textPlus app has already seen almost 3.5 million downloads, and over 350 million messages have been sent using the service since June. And while only the top 5% of applications in the Apple App Store reach 100,000 unique monthly visitors, textPlus exceeded that by over 7 times in its second month of release.

Coming soon to Android are textPlus "text addresses," which let users personalize texting and facilitate conversations, all without requiring a phone number.

The textPlus application can be downloaded for free from the Android Market.

GOGII, Inc. announced an $ 8.2 million Series B round of funding from Matrix Partners and Kleiner, Perkins, Caufield & Byers last month.

About textPlus

textPlus leverages GOGII's next generation text messaging platform to bring free, ad-supported one-to-one and group texting, and enables seamless interaction between textPlus users and their friends using regular text messaging (SMS). The service is currently available on the iPod touch and iPhone on the Apple App Store and on Android phones from the Android Market.

Real-Time Bidding and Access to Largest Media Inventory Put Ozonion at Forefront of Online Advertising Market

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 30, 2011

Ozonion U.S. Corp. is set for the global launch of the second generation of its online advertising platform on September 30th to deliver access to the latest trends in the online advertising market and respond to evolving market needs. The launch will include the unveiling of the new version of the Ozonion website, as well an online advertising platform that could very well change the way online advertising is conceived from the largest to the smallest online advertisers.

The Ozonion platform gathers the various elements from the online advertising value chain to offer a one-stop solution for online advertisers in a market where the distance between advertisers and online media has been the dominating factor. The incorporation of real-time bidding (RTB) technology into the platform has further lengthened Ozonions reach after sealing strategic partnerships with the most important players in RTB today: Appnexus, AdMeld, and OpenX Market. These strategic partnerships alone are worth a total of some 1 trillion online impressions per day offering what is perhaps the most extensive access to online media inventory available in todays market.

Ozonions first public outing in the U.S. came at the 2011 edition of ad:tech San Francisco where the company attracted the attention of many other IT industry pillars including Google, Microsoft Advertising, and Yahoo!. The global start-up also seized the occasion to streamline integration with major e-commerce platforms like Magento, Shopify, Volusion, and BigCommerce to improve the spectrum of services that Ozonion offers to online vendors.

Ozonion gives online advertisers the power to create, publish, and optimize their own campaigns through a series of simple steps aimed at optimizing budgets and increasing ROI. The platforms intuitive user interface permits online advertisers to create and go to market with an unlimited number of ads and landing pages created automatically from a variety of templates. The ads and landing pages go to market simultaneously in a process that reduces time to market from weeks to days. Online advertisers choose the where and how each campaign is published then the campaigns are automatically managed by an optimization engine that eliminates the ads and landing pages with the lowest click through and conversion rates. Ozonion then links the best performing ads to the best performing landing pages in a process that ensures increases in customer conversion rates of up to 150%. According to Ozonion CEO, Fabio La Manna, the mechanism for the optimization of each media source automatically sets the best criteria for each decision, making ads and landing pages that provide better results and campaigns more profitable.

Ozonion began operations in 2009 with the mission of making the online advertising market more accessible to online advertisers, and giving them a better ROI for their online advertising campaigns. The company now has bases of operations in North America, Europe, and South America.
