New York, NY -- November 1, 2000 -- Mi2N, a leading news publisher and CSP (Content Service Provider) impacting the digital music & entertainment sectors, and Digimusic.net announced the launch of the DIGIMUSIC.net NEWSWIRE, a turnkey private music news content solution for the multi-faceted European music site. With over 200 news releases per week covering nearly every aspect of the industry, the Digimusic.net site will also become an important news source for both the American and the European market, where Digimusic.net is one of www’s leading on-line music companies.
The DIGIMUSIC.net Newswire, powered by Mi2N’s ASP content integration solution Channel PRO, allows users to view headlines in different formats as well as individual news releases. It features eight different news categories including: • Music Releases • Band News • Label News • Music Events • Web Events • Business News • Radio News • Video News
Channel PRO leverages Mi2N’s technology and content infrastructure to meet Digimusic.net requirement for a consistent source in the quality and quantity of the content delivered. The Mi2N site has been serving industry news online to music and new media professionals for nearly two years, growing to over 1,400 headlines per month.
"Its inclusion" explains Marc Urselli-Schaerer, DigiMusic.net Promotion Manager about selection of Mi2N as main news provider for its Newswire, "is a fundamental step forward toward the achievement of a wide array of free services and tools focused around the interaction between music and new media and brings DigiMusic.net and, consequentially, its users one more feature to be used for communication, promotion, information and integration. Also news provided on a daily basis is just the beginning Digimusic’s evolution and transformation into a quality entertainment and information portal that is able to change, update and provide contents as fast as infotainment is offered in the real world."
Mi2N’s technical team worked closely with Digimusic.net on creating a seamless integration of content and the site in a full private label design. The Newswire retains the Digimusic.net site design throughout all possible user actions, providing a transparent and seamless experience for users while enhancing versus undercutting the Digimusic.net brand. Users can access online new releases through the DIGIMUSIC.net Newswire both directly from the site and email such as newsletters. This is in contrast to competing content solutions that rely on one-size-fits-all co-branded interfaces.
In addition to content delivery, Mi2N’s Channel PRO incorporates advanced search functionality by keyword, category and date into the DIGIMUSIC.net Newswire. It also allows Digimusic.net to offer its users a free news submission service through the Mi2N newswire, which reaches thousands of professional and decision makers in the music industry. Users can include image and sound with their releases as well as a link to their site.
"Websites need content solutions that meets multiple needs at once," explains Eric de Fontenay, Mi2N Editor-in-Chief and Tag It CEO. "Lots of relevant content on a daily basis, features that promote stickiness, full site integration, brand retention. We are finding that online firms are increasingly looking for a team that can understand their specific needs and audience and them turn around with customized solution to meet them."
