SPIDERtel Awarded Web & 3-D Modeling Contract

B&W Trailer Hitches, a premier manufacturer of a revolutionary line of trailer hitches, is looking to use the web to showcase their product lines in a way that truly captures their sophistication.

SPIDERtel is in the midst of a web re-design project for this southeastern Kansas firm, which will include among other things a powerful user interface to showcase B&W’s products. The interface will allow for several different 'views' of the products including range of motion views, a demo of component installations, and 360 degree animations.

3D modeling will be embedded into a Flash animation segment, enabling a great user experience and a compelling introduction to B&W’s product line.

The Future of Bulbs Is Bright
Compact Fluorescent Lightbulbs are about to take a much bigger share of the light-bulb market, and it’s a very good thing as far as SPIDERtel is concerned.

CFLs emit the same light as classic incandescents but use less than 25% of the energy. This in turn reduces energy bills. But, more importantly, CFLs spare greenhouse gas emissions that otherwise would be sent into our fragile atmosphere.

Consider this: If every one of the 110 million U.S. households were to replace just one CFL in place of an ordinary bulb, the energy saved would be enough to power a city of 1.5 million people. That’s just one bulb in every household, not to mention businesses and other public buildings.

SPIDERtel leases our office space and while we are not directly motivated to cut our utility bills, we have replaced all our standard bulbs with CFLs because we believe this is the right thing to do.

CFL prices are sure to drop over the next year, as sales and demand increase, and we encourage everyone to help themselves and our environment.

MSN’s Paid Placement Advertising Program

SPIDERtel has added a new search engine paid placement distribution channel to those that we currently support: Microsoft’s AdCenter. Paid Placement advertising allows businesses to pay for text ads and links to their web sites when pre-selected search terms are entered. MSN recently replaced their ad program managed by Yahoo with their own. While the traffic through MSN’s ad channels is considerably less than Google’s and Yahoo’s, the fees for the same customer click-through are typically less, making this an important addition to our services. If you’re a current SPIDERtel Paid Placement program customer, you don’t need to do anything to take advantage of this opportunity. We’ve automatically added MSN to your service. If you’re considering advertising to self-qualified, targeted customers, paid placement advertising can be very cost-effective and extremely beneficial.

Some news worthy items we all may be able to apply to our own businesses: 

*****************

The Internet “Divided” Highway?
Congress has stirred up a lot of controversy lately when they began looking at proposals to increase the speed of the internet and do away with what some refer to as "Net Neutrality".

It goes something like this: Major Internet players like eBay and Amazon would pay more towards the costs of the internet infrastructure. In return, their own web customers would have faster experiences on their own web sites (e.g. when bringing up new pages, downloading files, etc.). Their fees would help pay for the costs associated with enhancing the infrastructure. It is reasoned that this is fair and equitable because only those web companies that want the faster speed would pay for it.

However, the backlash comes from those businesses who would be left out due to prohibitive costs and from new businesses who see slower internet speeds as a market barrier. Consumers would quickly favor the faster speeds and would likely bias their own web surfing to the “faster” sites, leaving those that did not participate at a disadvantage.

SPIDERtel strongly opposes the tearing down of the current Net Neutrality. Allowing all web sites access to the open market at the same speed will keep the Internet open and democratic for all to use in the future. Here's a link for contacting your congress representative to express your opinion.

More Energy Ideas
An architectural firm in London (Facility Architects) is developing ways to harness the energy that is generated when people walk. About 7 watts of energy, typically dissipated with every step, can be captured by vibration sensors embedded into the structures of train stations, bridges, factories and other locations where people, vehicles and machinery are in motion. The energy would then be converted into usable energy by storing it into batteries.

This is yet another important “step” in the right direction. And, it makes us wonder how much energy we dissipate around the office.
