Internet Gold's TIPO to Launch Internet-TV/Podcast Channel
Tuesday November 15, 1:38 am ET
PETACH TIKVA, Israel, November 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Internet Gold
(NASDAQ: IGLD - News) today announced that TIPO (tipo.co.il), its 50%-owned
children's portal, will soon be adding TIPO-TV, an Internet-based
television/podcast channel targeting children aged 8-15, to its broad range of
content and youth-oriented applications.
As an extension to its "blog" and personal website-building services, TIPO-TV
will offer tools that make it easy for individuals to create their own video
clips and submit them to TIPO, including editing software, graphics libraries,
and captioning aids. TIPO's qualified personnel will screen all clips submitted,
slotting those appropriate for its target users into a varied and exciting
broadcast schedule.
TIPO is Israel's most popular Internet portal targeting the pre-teen and youth
sectors. During October 2005, TIPO served approximately 40 million page views to
a record 500,000 individual users, who logged onto the site to use its instant
messaging, web-based email, chat-rooms, forums and other services. A profitable
e-Advertising property, TIPO will soon deploy a new site management system that
will enable it to expand the advertising potential of each service.
"As TIPO's success proves, the Internet is all about expression and
interactivity," said Mr. Doron Turgeman, CFO of Internet Gold and a Director of
Tipo. "With today's inexpensive home-video production tools and widespread
broadband connectivity, individuals are now expanding their expression beyond
blogs. TIPO-TV will tap into this exciting trend, making it easy for its users
to create and broadcast the content they like best. We believe this unique
programming will boost TIPO's user base significantly, as well as its popularity
as an advertising property."
