Yippy Releases Family Friendly Search for Nintendo Wii

Market Wire, July, 2010

Yippy, Inc. (OTCBB: YIPI), www.yippy.com , the providers of the world’s fastest, family friendly web browser and search engine, today announces the official release of “Yippy” branded search for Nintendo Wii available at Wii.yippy.com. The Yippy Wii search is optimized for use with Nintendo Wii game controls and features Yippy content blocking protocols.

“Wii.Yippy.com has been carefully designed from the ground up to effectively browse and search web sites with the Nintendo Wii system,” says Emily Parker, Vice President of Operations, Yippy Inc. “The content blocking programs are improved, and with the help of Vivisimo’s stellar team, Yippy Wii search provides fast and accurate search functionality. Once you’ve entered your search terms, click ‘OK’ from the full-screen Wii keyboard and Yippy will process your query immediately without needing an additional click on the ‘Search’ button. Yippy Wii search allows users to point and click with confidence.”

“Wii.yippy.com search also works great for people who wear bifocals or who are visually impaired,” continues Parker. “The jumbo sized results accessed from on any modern browser makes accessing wii.yippy.com easier on your eyes with less headaches from straining to read results than you’d likely experience from the other search engines.”

“To change the balance of power of the Internet, you must win the trust of the American family first,” said Richard Granville, CEO, Yippy Inc. “We are grooming Yippy to become the standout brand of the future for high tech families. Games consoles and a flotilla of mobile devices will soon be Yippy-enabled devices.”

“The Yippy Wii search and the soon-to-be released YIPPY Wii browser with cloud based content management platforms will win the hearts of families and play a starring role on big screen TVs,” adds Granville. “Screens translate into revenue and with over 70 million Wii’s worldwide and nearly half of those sold in the US, we see the Wii as another excellent revenue generator moving forward. The new Wii.yippy.com search is fully monetized and available today for your family’s enjoyment.”

Yippy incorporates search and browsing content-blocking solutions that provide its users, including parents and schools, with the safest alternative for online activities. Designed for all web users from age eight and above; Yippy, ranked a leading search engine of 2010 by Paul H. Gil, the About.com Guide to Internet for Beginners, is currently utilized as the primary default browser and search engine in many public libraries, academies, schools, universities and places of worship throughout the US and Canada.

“Yippy combines contextual information in a cloud service that tailors Internet content to the preferences and needs of each user,” reported Alex Winogradoff, Vice President of Technology, for leading analyst firm, Gartner, in a report on “Cool Vendors” issued earlier this year.

Winogradoff added that, “Yippy is designed to be an online media store with one-touch access to television, games, news, movies, social networking, streaming radio, shopping and eventually office applications. While it vastly simplifies the Web surfing experience of the average consumer, its user interface is also built to be usable by pre-teen children. Yippy is unabashedly focused on providing a worry-free family Web experience based on a combination of parental proxy controls for approved content, trusted content partners and strict enforcement of a government-registered restriction list.”

“PC vendors should be concerned about future commoditization of the PC as a result of cloud services, such as Yippy, that decrease the need for compute capability on the client,” said Winogradoff. “Device manufacturers looking for service-bundling opportunities should also care, as should families that want to shield their children from adult Web content, advertising firms and local businesses, game developers and local media/entertainment providers.”

Yippy Inc. has established a new toll-free number for customer service and company inquiries which is 1-877-YIPPY01.

Ginsu guru: Famed DRTV writer dies; OBITUARY: Schiff, who penned ‘There’s more,’ created 1,800 TV spots.(News)(Arthur Schiff)(Obituary)

Advertising Age, September, 2006 by Neff, Jack

Byline: JACK NEFF

Arthur Schiff, the copywriter credited with naming the Ginsu knife and indelibly etching the phrase “But wait, there’s more” into the U.S. advertising lexicon, died Aug. 24 of lung cancer in Coral Gables, Fla. He was 66.

Though relatively few news outlets noted his death, Mr. Schiff left a mark that will long outlive him, as the direct-response TV industry he helped build earns respect from a host of conventional marketers. Such major mainstream advertisers as Procter & Gamble Co., L’Oreal and Johnson & Johnson have made short-form DRTV a growing part of their marketing in recent years

Florida home sales jump as national market stumbles

Florida home sales jump as national market stumbles

0 Comments | Palm Beach Post, Jul 23, 2010 | by KIMBERLY MILLER

June was still sunny in the Sunshine State for existing home sales, with an increase in purchases bucking a national dip in buying blamed on the end of the tax credit.

Statewide, single-family home sales last month were up 8 percent compared with May and 15 percent over the same time last year, according to monthly data released Thursday by the group Florida Realtors.

Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast saw a similar trend with purchases jumping 23 percent and 16 percent, respectively, in June over May.

“Everybody saw a slowdown for a second after the tax credit,” said Realtor Shannon Brink, of Re/Max Prestige Realty in West Palm Beach. “But a great home priced correctly is selling.”

The National Association of Realtors had expected sales to drop following the April 30 expiration of a home buyer tax credit, and while June buys reflected a 5.6 percent dip from May, they were still 8.5 percent above where they were in June 2009.

To cash in on the tax credit worth up to $8,000 for first-time buyers and up to $6,500 for some repeat buyers, a contract had to be signed on a home by April 30, with closing taking place before the recently extended deadline of Sept. 30.

Both the Florida Realtors and national association measure closed sales.

“Broadly speaking, sales closed after the home buyer tax credit will be significantly lower compared to the credit-induced spring surge,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. “Only when jobs are created at a sufficient pace will home sales return to sustainable healthy levels.”

One theory on why Florida’s sales were still climbing in June is that the state’s abundance of short sales, which take longer to complete, were still working through the spring tax credit buying timeline. Even if buyers signed a contract on a short sale by April 30, they could still be trying to close the deal.

Cut-rate pricing and historically low interest rates may also have nudged fence-sitting borrowers forward, said Bill Hardin, director of real estate programs at Florida International University in Miami.

“I think we’re getting to some price points that are very attractive,” Hardin said.

The median sales price in June for a single-family home in Florida dropped 3 percent from 2009 to $143,400 in June, while Palm Beach County’s saw a 7 percent decrease to $232,700.

The median Treasure Coast price increased 3 percent to $112,900

Colontonio ships ten percent of Tab Paper?s

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:38 pm  

Colontonio ships ten percent of Tab Paper?s volume to China. The Chinese mills use this product to create tissue paper, toilet paper, corrugated and other paper products.

When you consider that the US purchases a significant amount of goods from China, it is certainly possible we are getting our product back in the form of packaging for those goods. So the scrap paper we ship to China, returns to us in another form. Since our paper mills have closed for lack of business, I am glad to see that we are regaining some of it in another way.

You can only do that

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 12:06 pm  

You can only do that by communicating with them, and that is best achieved in a quiet way, encouraging them to feel at ease with you as you converse.

3. With all of your staff, you need to be a good listener to be a good manager. By being able to sit and listen to a shy member of staff, and respect what he or she is saying, you will not only learn about them, their ideas, and what their motivation is, but may also help them in overcoming shyness.

4. Shy and quiet people are not necessarily bad workers; in fact, the opposite is often true. If you can communicate with them, that alone will motivate them further. It will also give you the opportunity to draw out from them what they are especially good at, interested in, and capable of.

5. Once you have established a good line of communication with a shy member of staff, try to discuss their shyness, in a quiet and non critical way. If it affects their work adversely in any way, discuss what they may be able to do about improving things. Jointly setting personal objectives for them may help them to overcome the problem, at least partially, and enough to help them progress in their work.

Buy ezine advertising.

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 1:41 am  

Buy ezine advertising. Find ezines that your potential clients subscribe to and purchase advertising. Create ads that talk about their problems and direct them to your website for answers. Direct them to your free report landing page and get their name and email address. The free report will build your credibility and open the door to potential future sales. Don’t try to sell them your service right away without building some trust and credibility.

4. Purchase banner ads. Yes, banner ads really do work. Many experts have been saying banner ads are dead but they’ve taken on a new life. You can purchase very affordable, highly targeted banner ads that are only displayed to your target market. Use the same approach as with ezine advertising, direct them to your free report landing page to solve their problem.

Paris Hilton minimized in beer ad relaunch

AFP, March, 2010

RIO DE JANEIRO (AFP) A provocative beer ad showing American celebrity Paris Hilton in suggestive poses has been recast and relaunched in Brazil after having been banned as sexist.

In the new spot, which aired Tuesday evening on the main television networks, the beer itself becomes the star and Hilton’s face is seen only for a few seconds.

The Brazilian agency that regulates advertising on Monday blocked the original spot in which the young heiress dances on the balcony of a Rio apartment in a black mini-robe, allowing herself to be photographed by a voyeur in an apartment across the way.

The head of the ad agency responsible for the campaign, Augusto Cruz, said there was “a good dose of humor” in the new spot.

“But I’m also sure there was nothing wrong with…
