May 24 2011 /RTPR/ – Hollywood, CA – Munite is truly revolutionizing the music world. It stands out among other music sites as a platform that connects everyone who is integral to the process of music creation and consumption. From the musicians and vocalists, to the engineers in the sound booth, to record labels, agents, managers and finally to the listeners, Munite offers a role for all music lovers.

Munite offers an array of features beyond just the conventional track, video, and picture hosting which it is quite adept at too. Munite makes it easy for aspiring musicians to kick- start their music career. Artists can promote their work to eager fans and labels who are continuously searching for great new music. With the Build a Band™ feature, Munite makes it easy to build your own band from a list of instrument-specific musicians in your area. Just a few clicks and members are in touch with potential bandmates. Another few clicks and members can be booking time with a music instructor or a new student. If that student needs to buy a guitar, it can be found in the classified ad section of the site. Jam sessions can be found and arranged through Munite as well.

Munite also provides musicians a unique and creative component for music collaboration, Mumiix™. Mumiix™ is an open access tool to create, mix, and share music in ways that were previously unimaginable. Mumiix™ makes it possible for beatboxers from Brooklyn to collaborate with classical guitarists from Spain. Mumiix™ provides the tools to make it happen online, without the limitations of geographical boundaries. Anyone can take part in a Mumiix™ project by simply inviting others or requesting invitations to join other members’ Mumiix™ projects.

PigeonMap (PigeonMap.com) Visual Classifieds

Leave a comment

PigeonMap makes it easy to find any classified ads anywhere on a map within your preferred geographical area.

Free classifieds have been a key advertising tool for many small businesses and individuals to connect and do business. Classifieds sites like craigslist, kijiji, backpage, and facebook’s marketplace have provided listing services for the thousands of people that use them daily. The disadvantage of these sites is the vast amount of text that people have to search and filter through to get to the listings that interests them the most, all while taking into consideration the geographical criteria that they are searching within.

PigeonMap solves these search constraints by providing users the ability to filter through thousands of postings within their geographical scope, and to visually locate each listing on a map. Not only does this feature reduce the need to question the location of each posting, but it reduces the need to search externally for the exact address. A secondary effect of showing the exact location of each posting is that it creates a higher level of trust towards the poster. In turn this trust creates a higher quality database of searchable PigeonMap visual classified postings.

PigeonMap breaks down the geographical barrier by allowing people to search for anything in any specific region. This is especially useful for small town advertisers that often don’t have a dedicated localized classifieds site. PigeonMap allows users to advertise locally to attract broad attention and connect with one another.

Posting an ad on PigeonMap is also simple. Posters can select relevant information to provide through standardized fields in each category to optimize their search results and visibility. Moreover, there is no need to know html as each listing is automatically coded on the backend to optimize searches on search engines. Accompanying images can also be easily uploaded to attract readers.

PigeonMap has been developed for use with the Adobe Flash Player 9+ inside a web browser which allows desktop and laptop computers to experience a truly simple, fast, and pretty website. Mobile phones and other non flash supported internet browser devices are supported through a simple and quick loading html platform. Both an Android application and Iphone application that resemble the Flash Player version of PigeonMap are planned for the future.

The company is based out of Vancouver, Canada and developed by Jesse Couch, Founder and Chief Technology Officer.

Web 2.0

SENuke Software

Leave a comment

The process and concept is VERY simple. Use the software to notify 65 of the Internet’s most visited Web 2.0, video, RSS and social bookmarking sites about your website or offer. Something that was once only possible by hiring out a team of workers, working around the clock for you is now possible with just a few clicks of a button.

And keep in mind, these are not just any regular websites that you are posting your announcement on. These are websites like Digg, WordPress, Blogger, Youtube, Google Video, Del.icio.us, Furl, Technorati, just to name a few.

It’s no secret that Google loves video. Do a search for almost anything that can be shown through a video and you’ll notice Youtube, Google Video and other video websites absolutely dominating the first page. What you might not know are these amazing behind-the-scene facts:

* 52% of all web traffic is video (according to industry watchdog, eMarketer)

* More than 70% of all web visitors watch online video (according to NY Times)

* The average YouTube visitor spends 27 minutes watching video per day

* The search engines visit video sites every few minutes—so your videos appear in Google, Yahoo and MSN just MINUTES after you submit, not days or weeks

* Because video is so popular, video links and clips often show up before other content

Problem: Uploading videos takes time, and lots of it.

This means that if you wanted to upload a relatively small video to 14 different video websites to get maximum exposure for your videos, it would take you no less than a couple of hours sitting attentively at your computer, going to the different websites, manually entering in the title, tags, choosing a category, entering the description and finally uploading the video and waiting upto an hour for it to finish uploading.

This is crucial time than can be better used finding other niches and coming up with other creative ways to dominate the search engines using SEnuke!

Solution: Enter your title, description, and tags ONCE and let SEnuke take care of the rest.

Not only will SEnuke go into each website and do everything required to upload the video, it will also “spin” the video titles and description so that the search engines don’t even have a clue that it was all done by one person!

For example, once SEnuke will submit a video with the title “Bad ski jump”, another time it will use “Ouch! Horrible ski jump” and another time it will say “Yikes! That jump ought to hurt!”. It will do the same thing with the description!

See that is the problem with most other video submission services (most of which charge over $50/month just for video submission). They can’t trick the search engines as efficiently as SEnuke can.
