A word from the man

"We see our customers as invited guests to a party, and we are the hosts. It's our job every day to make every important aspect of the customer experience a little bit better." - Jeff Bezos

Naviblog named official provider for CEATEC JAPAN

Naviblog has been selected as an official provider for CEATEC JAPAN, the largest technology fair in Asia, and one of the top 3 largest technology fairs in the world. Naviblog was named as the official provider for exhibition map search services, as well as the official provider for mobile site development.

The system allows users to search for exhibitors, search for exhibitor categories, or zoom in and out of the floor map, as you would do with Google Maps or Yahoo! Maps, and find relevant exhibitor information quickly.

The new handy bookmark functionality, available from October 1st onwards, will let visitors to the official website (www.ceatec.com) make advance searches for and bookmark the booths they want to visit. Bookmarks can be transferred to a mobile phone for easy navigation on-site. Visitors can also access the CEATEC JAPAN mobile website to navigate at CEATEC JAPAN and view exhibitor data. These services will be usable on all of Japan's mobile carriers (available on more than 250 models as of August 2007) without any special software utility.

Naviblog will also be exhibiting at CEATEC JAPAN, so come and see us at booth 1A01. We look forward to showing you the latest in mobile services technology.

DJ Tornado Kicks - “Organic Trips”

Hello! back again this time with trippy sounds, pure jam rock psychedelic acid Woodstock rave like sounds, but don't worry there's nothing chemical digital here.

So now take off!
