Couponcravings.com Announces New Leadership, Improved Features

Des Moines, IOWA (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Venerated coupon blog couponcravings.com today announced a multi-pronged strategy for the new direction of its website. The plan includes a more comprehensive coupon directory, a larger focus on sweepstakes and giveaways, and an increase in unique content across the site all in addition to its primary blog content. The move comes in response to a recent change in management, as Kate Sorensen, a mother from outside Des Moines, Iowa, took control of the site nearly two weeks ago. I couldnt be happier with where the site is headed, Sorensen said in a statement. Im confident that my readers will feel the same way.

Couponcravings.com, one of the webs top destinations for coupons and deals, will soon be updating its coupon directory into a more comprehensive and useful format. Although the blog has always provided relevant and timely deals, Sorensen found that the coupons were often difficult to find and organize once they passed out of the blogs front page. With the help of some other enthusiastic couponers, Sorensen has been busy updating the sites coupon database and making its listings more relevant to users and will soon feature vastly more retail coupons for on and offline retailers. Sorensen hopes the new database will help her readers save more time and money.

Sorensen expressed excitement over her new focus on sweepstakes and giveaways. Although many of the offers will be featured through her blog, Sorensen noted that some of the most exclusive contests will only be publicized through her Facebook page, her twitter feed, or her newsletter, and that readers will have to "check back often" to find out about all the best giveaways.

In addition to all the added features, the sites blog content would remain Sorensens top priority. As an avid couponer, Sorensen said she knows where to look for the best deals and can continue to share them with her readers. To find all of her best deals, she recommends checking in often. Im constantly updating my blog with the freshest deals, she said. And some of them dont last very long!

Talking Web 2.0 News App Gets Listeners From 119 Countries And New Features

Oklahoma City, OK (PRWEB) February 27, 2008

Web 2.0 startup PimpMyNews.com today announced new product features for its user base, which has grown to include users from 119 countries since its mid December launch.

PimpMyNews is a new media application that allows consumers to stay current on breaking stories from their favorite text news and blog sources by listening to them wherever they happen to be. The free service continuously scans the web's top 1,000 news and blog sites for breaking text stories based on user preferences, and instantly converts them to near-human sounding audio. Users can listen online on computers, or on the go on iPhones, iPods, Zunes and other MP3 players and mobile devices. The service also allows users to create playlists and personalized news podcasts, rate and share "talking stories" with friends, and post them to Facebook, Digg, Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Reddit, Mixx, and other social sites.

The company has rolled out a series of enhancements based on user feedback since the December launch of its full site at http://www.PimpMyNews.com. In mid January at Macworld, the company released its iPhone-optimized mobile application at http://www.PimpMyNews.com/m, which received Apple's coveted "Staff Pick" designation.

Today, the company announced new mobile personalization features, integration with MySpace and enhancements to its home screens. The new release allows mobile users to access their PimpMyNews favorites playlists from any location, delivering the same personalized news experience of the full site on mobile devices. Users can also now post audio versions of their favorite stories to MySpace to share them with their MySpace network. Additionally, the application home screens have been enhanced to load audio versions of the latest stories from the web's top thirty blogs.

"Today, with our busy lifestyles and the vast amount of news released each day, it's difficult to stay current through traditional methods. PimpMyNews saves time by finding stories that you care about, and lets you get current by listening while you do other things like drive, work out, ride the train and more. It's like TiVo for news and blogs," said PimpMyNews Co-Founder & CEO John Atkinson.

Anyone with Internet access can sign up for the free service at http://www.PimpMyNews.com/Signup.aspx
