Online Reputation Management Firm JW Maxx Solutions to Exhibit at ARDA Conference 2013

/in , /by


Scottsdale, Arizona (PRWEB) March 11, 2013

The ARDA (American Resort Development Association) conference is the foremost annual gathering for timeshare experts around the world. Over three-thousand attendees from over thirty-five countries will meet in Hollywood, Florida through April seventh and the eleventh. The Conference presents key opportunities to connect with professionals from hundreds of companies, and attending the event is the most comprehensive way to stay up to speed on the latest trends and best industry-relevant practices. There are more than forty educational panels dealing with a full spectrum of the industry’s top products.

Online reputation management leader, JW Maxx Solutions, plans on attending the conference in April. JW Maxx Solutions specializes in assisting resorts in keeping their online reputation in check. Because there are so many websites that collect rating through crowd-sourcing, it has become a dirty practice that businesses or individuals will attempt to tarnish the reputation of another business or individual by leaving illegitimate claims, or downright false information, on resort ratings websites. JW Maxx Solutions can step in and help a business suffering from negative online publicity, recover their online presence.

As more and more business is done online, it is increasingly common for an individual to Google search a company, resort, or individual, before conducting business with them. Many business owners or individuals might never have thought of “Googling” themselves before, just to see what the results are. The lack of online awareness can lead to catastrophe, if not handled properly.

“Many companies don’t even bother to search for themselves until it’s too late,” says Walter Halicki, founder and CEO of JW Maxx Solutions. “The Internet just isn’t a big part of their market strategy. Even huge, multinational corporations fall victim.”

Falling victim often results in loss of customer trust, which leads to decreased profits all across the boards. It is imperative that a business, resort, or individual, take proper care of their online reputation management before things get too out of hand.

How an online reputation management firm works is that it identifies websites, posts, or social media activity that is harmful to a client, and then will remove or downplay the strength the targeted material has within the Google search results. Working with a company like JW Maxx Solutions will help a company stabilize their unsteady online presence, or simply reinforce their already existing positive presence for the future. With a positive online presence a business gains customer trust and this goes a long way to building customer loyalty in the long run.

Throughout 2013 JW Maxx Solutions is offering free consultation to clients interested in taking control of their online reputation management. Look for online reputation management firm, JW Maxx Solutions at the ARDA Conference 2013 at booth 112, next month.

Aw Shucks, Says Malwarebytes Corporation Upon Receiving New Entrepreneurial Award from Frost & Sullivan

/in , /by

(PRWEB) March 12, 2013

Malwarebytes announced today that it has earned Frost & Sullivan’s 2012 North American Entrepreneurial Company of the Year Award in Endpoint Security. In presenting the award, Frost & Sullivan attributed Malwarebytes’ success “to a deeper understanding of the changing and evolving threat landscape.”

The annual award is presented to the endpoint security company that collects the highest average score from Frost & Sullivan security analysts in several key categories. The competing companies are scored in five categories: Growth Strategy Excellence, Growth Implementation Excellence, Degree of Innovation with Products and Technologies, Leadership in Customer Value, and Speed of Response to Market Needs.

“The Malwarebytes endpoint security product is designed to fight zero-hour and polymorphic software based on behavioral malware characteristics rather than relying exclusively on a signature created as the antidote,” said Frost & Sullivan Stratecast VP of Research Michael Suby. “Malwarebytes’ research and development team leverages a crowd-sourced base of community experts and product intelligence that supplement and contribute to its global knowledgebase of the latest emerging threats.

“Notably, Malwarebytes products are designed to work in tandem with products sourced from other endpoint security vendors to offer a layered security approach to block advanced threats that traditional antivirus scanners may fail to detect,” said Suby.

The company recently crossed the 200 million download mark globally. Corporate revenues are set to rise again in 2013 due to the upcoming launch of several new Malwarebytes anti-malware tools and product upgrades.

“Speaking on behalf of the entire Malwarebytes team, we’re thrilled to be honored with this award,” said Malwarebytes CEO Marcin Kleczynski. “Everyone, especially the researchers and developers who joined us from the malware hunting community, had a hand in this. The fight to make the Internet a safer place always has been, and always will be, an incredibly collaborative effort. It involves dedicated folks all over the world submitting malware samples, identifying malicious websites, and writing anti-malware code.

“And,” he said, “only a concerted group effort could win an award with a title that long.”

About Malwarebytes

Malwarebytes provides software designed to protect consumers and businesses against malicious threats that consistently escape detection by other antivirus solutions. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Pro, the company’s flagship product, employs a highly advanced behavior-based detection engine that has removed over five billion malicious threats from computers worldwide.

Getting A Quote On A Structured Settlement

/in , /by

by AsGood

If you are interested in getting a quote on a structured settlement, then do some research. There are a lot of companies out there to choose from.  Who will give you the biggest quote?  Who will be the most “trusted”?

It’s never easy deciding on which company to use, especially if it concerns a great deal of money. Your structured settlement is your investment. It’s something owed to you, that will secure your future.

However, when you’re dealing with monthly payments vs. a lump sum it can be hard to live with.  You can’t always afford to live on a small monthly payment. 

Getting a quote on a structured settlement is a smart idea, but don’t just get one quote, get more than 10 quotes. If you don’t shop around, you might end up with less money than you could have gotten from another reputable broker.

It’s typical that the bigger companies don’t give the best quotes.  Often they have more overhead than the mid-size or smaller corporations.  Be careful when shopping the competition. Don’t be hard pressed to sign on the dotted line that very second.

If I were getting a quote on a structured settlement, I would consider it top priority to go in and do as much research as possible as to who is the better company. 

Getting a quote is a serious matter.  Go ahead and tell the companies you’re calling, that you are shopping the competition.  You’re in for a big surprise. 

Consider buying a house without looking at other houses. That would be silly right?  Or consider buying a car without looking at other vehicles.  That would also be silly.  It’s no different than anything else.  Getting a quote on a structured settlement, getting the best quote, can mean thousands of dollars depending on the size of your total settlement.

It can make a huge difference to your bottom line to get the best possible quote!

I certainly wouldn’t buy anything without shopping around. What happens is this…we’re desperate and some brokers will “play” off that desperation.  Usually people who sell their structured settlements need money fast. They’re willing to take substantially less just to get their money in one lump sum. That’s not really fair is it?

So if you’re going to have to share your money, you may as well find someone who will give you the very best quote, and not cheat you!  Getting a large amount of money at one time is a blessing, be careful it doesn’t turn into a curse.

 

 

Sovereign Funding is a trusted source for getting a quote on a structured settlement.  Getting a quote on a structured settlement becomes easier once you speak to David Springer, CEO and President of Sovereign Funding.  David is a professional, a family-first type of personality, and a truly compassionate person.  I know it’s hard to believe but you can really trust some people. David will get you the best quote on your structured settlement, guaranteed.

Pi Day is coming March 14! National Pi Day Celebrates Education and its Importance in All Our Lives

/in , /by


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

March 14 (3.14) is National Pi Day.

Why Pi? What is National Pi Day?

Beloved worldwide, pi is simply the irrational number π = 3.14… It is used to

calculate the circumference of a circle – any circle – among a multitude of other applications in math, physics, and engineering.

In 2009, the United States House of Representatives declared March 14 (3.14) to be

National Pi Day. They passed resolution HR 224 to celebrate the importance of math,

science, and education in our lives.

No longer reserved only for the geek culture, pi is fun, approachable, and entertaining. Learning the first 10 digits is, well, as easy as pi (3.141592653).

As an example, the letter count of each word below corresponds numerically to the first 10 digits in pi.

        Wow I made a short memorable pi string, could you?

         3 1 4    1     5         9         2     6        5     3

The team at piZone.org works to remind us that math and science are present in all of our everyday lives. All technology, from the wheel to the Smart Phone to GPS, utilizes physical laws that are described in terms of mathematics.

Through videos, online games, activities, demos, and events, piZone engages students, educators, and the public in the fun and importance of action learning as a means to inspire the next generation of scientists, researchers, doctors, educators, and techies who will spur new life-impacting innovation.

Beyond being just a number, pi can also be an expression of art, dance, music, and writing. When learning is informative, entertaining, and sensory, it encodes more efficiently and effectively into the participant’s brain. When learning is fun and engaging, it sparks curiosity and a desire to discover, explore, and question. The ability to think critically is essential to people living in our high-tech world.

pi activities and events:

The New San Francisco Exploratorium – soon to open in April 2013, the new Exploritorium provides students and the public with hands-on science fun that inspires and engages. This Pi Day look up! Pi in the Sky – an artistic skywriting event – will occur on Pi Day above the new Exploritorium building. Pi in the Sky, created by conceptual artist ISHKY, is a visual representation of pi – 100 digits of pi written in dot-matrix numbers by 5 airplanes in formation over the San Francisco Bay.    

SXSW Music Festival and Conference – The pizone.org team recently spoke at the educational arm of the South by Southwest Festival and Conference in Texas. To pass on the pi – pizone plans to inspire thought and engagement at the SXSW music festival with different pi sayings on 9 colored stickers, distributed to only 10% of the crowd, sparking curiosity in participants to seek out others to see what their stickers say. They are encouraged to share their fun via posts, tweets, images, and videos.

Bill Gates’ Big History Project – This project inspires our big picture thinking.    

pizone.org provides students and educators with fun math and science demos, games, and videos to inspire and engage on topics of math and science via pi (pie) recipes, an interactive sticker game, a contest, and songs such as the ABCs of Pi Song: a 6 year old sings 42 places in pi to the tune of the ABCs. It’s a sing-along.

All of these activities culminate in the question, “What can I do to support STEM education?” It starts with building awareness among the general public about the vital importance of funding education, with an eye on the future and its impact on all of us. Imagine our future if we don’t. Having a well-educated workforce utilizes technology to drive innovation, in turn creating better lives for us all. We all have a piece of this educational pi.

You’re invited to share the pi.

Jobhuk.com a Crowdsourcing Platform for Hiring Which was launched at SXSW 2013 is Now One of the Hottest Start-ups in Austin,TX

/in , /by


Austin,TX (PRWEB) March 15, 2013

It is never less exciting for start-ups launching at SXSW. This year one of the startups Jobhuk.com, launched at the SXSW Startup Spotlight, has become the new buzzword on the street. Jobhuk.com says they are on a mission to disrupt the human capital space with “CrowdSourced Hiring.”

Their revolutionary recruiting platform is focused on hiring through crowdsourced referrals. Jobhuk leverages human network, the crowd, around the world to support and get best referrals for employers trying to hire best resources. It benefits employers avoiding all regular spam they experience in their hiring process. The crowd gets incentives as heavy as 1%-15% of the gross salary, as a Finders Fee set by employers for each successful hire.

Jobhuk’s has two side for it, First, “Hire by Referral” reveals that all applicants must be referred by a Jobhuk user, defined by anyone with a LinkedIn, Facebook, or simply an email account. Second, “Refer and Get Paid” means that the referring Jobhuk users gets paid finders fee when their referral is hired.

Praneeth Patlola, founder of Jobhuk.com has spent several years in the staffing and recruiting industry. He knew there was a better and more efficient way for companies to find great candidates. Recruiting firms charge commissions of up to 30%, a very costly endeavor to gain access to a relatively limited candidate pool. Online hiring platforms often charge high fees and produce unqualified talent and spam with no guaranteed results. 90% of team he has built was based on referrals to whom he says, he paid a decent amount of referral fees. He spent years searching for the best recruits, experimenting with various methodologies to source qualified candidates. After much trial and error, Patlola identified referrals as consistently the best recruits and most likely to become successful hires. He says, everyone, including himself asks the same question to friends, friends of friends, family members, and co-workers, “Do you know anyone who would be a good fit for this position?” The unveiling of Jobhuk allows employers to ask the same question, but now in real time, to tens of millions of Facebook, LinkedIn, and other network users.
