ARX and IDology announce partnership to provide customers with new authentication option for CoSign®.
Atlanta (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 19, 2010 — A new alternative for verified, digital signatures that introduces flexibility in the process was announced today as the result of a partnership formed between IDology, Inc. and ARX, Inc. The partnership pairs two industry leading solutions, ARX’s CoSign and IDology’s ExpectID® IQ, to give businesses the proper controls over the ID proofing process behind verified, digital signatures.
The combination of these products creates an undisputable strength for the authentication of an online transaction or document. By verifying the identity of a signer before attaching a forgery-immune digital signature, companies can rest assured that important contracts, disclosures and other documents are being signed by the real person represented in the signature. IDology’s CEO, John Dancu, says the partnership with ARX creates new opportunities for companies to fight fraud:
“Companies that conduct business online can look at verified, digital signatures with more certainty because the necessary documents have been approved and signed by the real person represented in that signature. It also makes it easier for businesses to keep pace with the speed of ecommerce while minimizing fraud.”
Pairing the solutions creates a seamless, automated process from verification to signature. First, basic identity information is provided by the signer. Then, IDology’s ExpectID IQ solution generates a dynamic, knowledge-based quiz to confirm that the signer truly is the person he/she is claiming to be. And because the answers to these questions are based on out-of-wallet information, they are difficult for anyone other than the actual person to answer. Simultaneously, CoSign is monitoring this process. If an ID is verified, the person is automatically granted a set of standard digital signature credentials that they can then use to digitally sign documents, transactions and records.
The entire process takes just minutes to perform, and adds stronger authenticity to any signed document in any B2C or G2C business process. IDology’s identity verification supports ARX’s three-Is concept for maintaining proof of the signer’s identity, intent and document integrity.
Verified or proofed identities combined with standard digital signatures are an extremely valuable set of tools for managing B2C businesses that must have trusted exchanges with customers online. Vice President of Business Development for ARX, John Marchioni explains:
“There are many instances where businesses and government agencies may need to reach out to customers or citizens over the Internet. IDology provides a reliable and trusted source for ID proofing so that businesses know the people they are working with are who they say they are. The advantage of using IDology with CoSign is the ease of use for businesses and the flexibility it allows them.”
CoSign has been providing standard digital signatures in a variety of industries to streamline and scale processes and transactions for many years. ARX solutions have helped numerous businesses transition to paperless workflow, as records signed with a digital signature are legally enforceable. And ExpectID IQ is used to validate the identities of customers in numerous customer-not-present situations every day. Because IDology’s solutions are offered through an on-demand, self-service model, businesses control the identity proofing process with the ability to respond to changes in an instant.
Businesses can start using these productive tools by contacting either party. Additionally, a free trial of the CoSign digital signature solution is also available.

A newly launched company is offering aspiring models of every shape and size a chance to be discovered on the Internet – simply by posting a picture with links to their Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin profiles. One model search contest winner will receive front page exposure on TShirtAds.com and become the “official face of TShirtAds.”
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — Will Smith was discovered in a Los Angeles parking lot. Natalie Portman was discovered walking into a pizza parlor. Alex Wek was discovered on a busy London street. A newly launched company is offering aspiring models of every shape and size a chance to be discovered on the Internet – simply by posting a picture with links to their Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin profiles. Today TShirtAds (www.tshirtads.com) issued an open casting call for the most socially connected aspiring model in America.
One model search contest winner will receive front page exposure on TShirtAds.com and become the “official face of TShirtAds.” Putting a new twist on an old story, TShirtAds plans to pluck the next big supermodel off the social media highway, instead of Melrose or Madison Avenue. The contest supports the company’s mission to become a go-to source for event staffing and word-of-mouth marketing campaigns.
The TShirtAds robust, interactive media platform launched late last year and already includes thousands of new models and everyday talented people in both large and small U.S. markets. Advertisers can scour through the TShirtAds database of featured models – by geography, demographics, look, experience, and/or Model Feedback Ratings – selecting models that best fit their staffing needs. TShirtsAds models can be hired to support word-of-mouth marketing campaigns or staff trade booths for companies of any size, from Fortune 500 companies like Kraft Foods and Coca-Cola to small businesses led by entrepreneurs that do not currently have agency representation.
Professional and aspiring models are invited to participate in the contest. Contest submission is easy and free:
1. Register as a model at TShirtAds.com and enter the contest on Facebook.
2. Upload at least one photo of yourself wearing a white T-Shirt or tank top with a slogan written on the front of the T-Shirt to demonstrate your ability to promote a message. Choose a slogan that best represents you. Suggestions include “TShirtAds,” “I’m Available,” “Your Ad Here,” “Rent This Space.” Models are encouraged to be creative!
3. Post your Facebook, Linkedin, and Twitter links to your TShirtsAds profile to prove your social media connectedness.
4. Encourage your friends to endorse you and “vote” for your entry on the TShirtAds Facebook Fan Page.
“Before TShirtAds, finding models for a promotional trade show or creative street marketing campaign was expensive and labor-intensive,” said Taz Turner, Founder and President of TShirtAds. “TShirtAds allows advertisers and their agencies to effectively and efficiently discover and hire models online.”
Companies that are interested in discovering and hiring fresh faces to wear, advertise, and promote products and services at promotional events or as part of word-of-mouth marketing campaigns can contact TShirtAds at info@tshirtads.com. Event marketing agencies, public relations firms, modeling agencies, and trade show staffing companies can also contract directly with TShirtAds to enhance their staffing ability for campaigns.
Prospective models can enter the contest online at www.tshirtads.com. Winners will be selected based on public votes. The top five vote winners will each receive $100. Winners will be announced on February 15.

Hindsight 20/20 ? Not anymore. Dr.Gulani releases his slogan for eye surgeons worldwide and hindsight could soon be 20/10. He believes that vision beyond 20/20 is possible and technological advances today can help eye surgeons achieve such vision goals for most of their patients.
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — 20/20 vision has been the hallmark of perfect vision. That Bar is about to be raised.
Dr. Gulani has raised Lasik Laser Vision and Cataract surgery to an ART and using his newly introduced specialty- Corneoplastique(TM), he designs Vision corrective surgery uniquely to each individual eye. Using Laser or Lens based surgeries or even combinations therein, he has achieved visions of 20/15 and 20/10 in numerous patients.
Many eye surgeons worldwide are echoing such outcomes.
20/15 vision is one line better than 20/20 while 20/10 is two lines better on an eye chart.
Technological breakthroughs and better understanding of the optical system of the eye allows us to measure imperfections in vision that were invisible to us until recently. ” What you cannot measure, you cannot correct”- Dr. Gulani
Wavefront technology, advanced laser precision and accurate eye trackers along with a full range of lens implants allow for individualized optical correction for eyes to reach their complete vision potential which in many cases is better than 20/20.
Lasik, Custom Lasik, iLasik, Bladeless Lasik, Lasek, SBK, ASA and PRK are all forms of Laser Vision Surgeries. These surgeries effectively reshape the cornea so nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism can be corrected.
Lens based surgeries including Multifocal, progressive lens implants like crystalens, restor, toric, rezoom and technis have raised the bar on cataract surgery by allowing people to see clearly as well as address their presbyopia and thereby see in the distance and read up close without any glasses.
For patients who are not Lasik candidates, Visian ICL and Intacs can address their extreme errors while synergize contact lenses and collagen cross linking can be used to address keratoconus.
Even previous refractive surgery like Radial Keratotomy (RK) can be addressed with modern Lasik surgery to bring these patients back to excellent vision.
With such an armamentarium of vision corrective eye surgeries, pratically every patient who wears glasses and contact lenses is a candidate because a non-candidate eye can be prepared for vision surgery and also combinations can be used to address specific refractive errors.
Thus a Cataract patient can undergo Progressive Lens based Cataract surgery followed by Lasik surgery in combination or a previous Lasik patient prepare for future Cataract surgery as they age.
On January 21, 2010, for patients and eye doctors all over the world, Channel 4 TV is inaugurating the “Ask Dr. Gulani Show” Online, as a LIVE Webcast at 12:30 pm EST ( you can log onto Gulani Vision’s website for more information ).
I envision a future when a patient can walk into an eye doctor’s office and say “Doctor, I see 20/20!” The doctor will stand up with a solemn look on his / her face and say, “I can help you” – Dr. Gulani.

The Bay Area Search Engine Academy has scheduled their SEO classes and internet marketing training to start in February 2010. The classes are open to anyone who wants to learn search engine optimization or internet marketing for their business.
Livermore, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — The Bay Area Search Engine Academy has opened registration for their upcoming SEO classes and internet marketing training for businesses. Registration is limited to fifteen people in each of the classes being held in San Ramon and Santa Clara (near San Jose), California.
“We keep the classes small so each of the students gets lots of individual attention during the course of the week,” Thomas Petty said. Petty is the President of the Bay Area Search Engine Academy, and will be teaching both hands-on workshops. “We teach a lot of advanced techniques, but anyone can learn them. We want to make sure everyone understands it so they can put it to use as soon as they leave the classroom.”
The Academy starts the week by teaching a six-step process that gets its students started quickly without having to know technical code. “Anyone can learn our six-step process and get results,” Petty adds. The rest of the week is spent learning techniques that can get a business listed on the search engines many different ways.
Each student is encouraged to bring their wireless-enabled laptop and work on either their own Web site or their client’s in the class. They are each given class time to present problems to the other students, get constructive feedback, and help each other.
“Some of the terms people hear are ‘SEO’, ‘social media marketing’, ‘internet marketing’, and so on. We dispel the myths around all of this, and make it clear so business owners can get results with what we teach,” Petty said. “After all, we use these same techniques with our own clients.”
The Bay Area Search Engine Academy is part of the larger Search Engine Academy, started by John Alexander and Robin Nobles many years ago. They teach a standardized curriculum at all their academies around the world.
Once a student has completed the workshop and passed the exam, they receive a certificate showing they have have a thorough understanding in search engine marketing. In addition, students can request nationally-recognized continuing education units (CEUs) through the University of Southern Mississippi (an additional $60 fee covers the cost of the paperwork).
Interested students can register online at the Bay Area Search Engine Academy’s registration page or contact them directly toll-free at (888) 807-5658.

Do you want people to be able to find & contact you when they only have your name? This new Online Address Book enables people to do just that, and without them even seeing your contact details.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 19, 2010 — A free address book listing in WikiWorldBook.com “The Global Address Book” enables users to store and manage all their contact information on their own search engine optimized web page without the need for their own website.
It also enables them to be found and contacted by email within three clicks of a Google search of their name – without them even having to reveal their contact details and without the person contacting them having to register. This is primarily achieved through a simple customizable “profile page” which can contain as little of the user’s contact details as their name, nationality and gender. Messages go directly to their regular email service, so they don’t have to return to the site to pick them up. This Visual Guide gives a detailed list of the address book’s easy to use features.
Alternatively, users may want to display their full range of contact details to provide the people looking for them with the means of contact that best suits them. All users’ address book pages are highly search engine optimized to ensure that they rank well in Google’s results on a search for the user’s name, including “vanity urls” that contain the user’s name.
Users can differentiate between their personal and work contact details and use the structured format to add photos, building addresses, telephone numbers, websites, IM & VOIP links, social media and social profile links and well as add their own biographies and interests. All the user’s email, IM and VOIP services are hyperlinked so they immediately launch the appropriate service on the visitor’s device with one click. Users can add their social links to drive traffic to their other web properties and increase their authority with the search engines.
The address book provides a compelling free alternative to Telnic’s dot tel (.tel) domains which are subject to an annual domain name charge. Examples of each company’s products can be compared here – a John Smith profile on WikiWorldBook and a dot tel Telnic domain. Whilst Telnic’s underlying technology is undoubtedly more superior – being hosted directly on the DNS (the backbone of the internet) rather than on a normal web server, which provides for more rapid page loading – users have a clear choice to make over paying an annual recurring charge indefinitely or getting a reliable service for free.
Users control all their own information as they can delete their address book listing and all their information in a matter of seconds from their own control panel. A full range of Privacy Controls gives the user complete control over individual entries, so that they can share their information with people that they choose. Users are indexed quickly by Google and generally appear in their search results within a few days, whilst a powerful proprietary spam filter ensures that spam is negligible or non-existent. Many users will find this innovative address book as the solution to managing their online identity.
The WikiWorldBook address book is truly global with users from over 150 countries already currently registered in its Global Address Book. Based on current visitor conversion rates, the company anticipates that its global target market is around 15 million registered users, which might rise as brand awareness increases.
Many users will also find the optional Search Alert useful. This can notify them by email when they have been Googled and provides them with the searcher’s geographical location and IP address. If the user has been Googled by a company or organization, then more often than not the company or organization can be fully identified by name – making it an invaluable tool for small business people and job seekers. If the searcher is a company or organization, rather than an individual, then more often than not they can be identified.
Without needing to build, host or manage their own website, users can:-
|
- Join an online global address book that provides them with immediate worldwide exposure.
|
|
- Be found and contacted by email within 3 clicks of a Google search of their name – without having to reveal their email address and without the person contacting them having to register themselves.
|
|
- Provide a fast way for people to connect with them in a single click from any mobile device
|
|
- Display all their means of communication in one place under their control.
|
|
- Update and manage their contact information in real time.
|
|
- Promote their own business and web properties online and increase their traffic, authority and search engine visibility.
|
Who does it appeal to?
Online address book services appeal to a broad spectrum of people –
|
- People wanting to stay or get back in touch with old friends and family.
|
|
- Professionals who want to be easily found and connected with clients.
|
|
- Small business owners & entrepreneurs who want to promote themselves and their business.
|
|
- Job seekers who want to control their online reputation and demonstrate their aptitude with the internet. The majority of Human Resources departments now carry out internet due diligence on prospective candidates.
|
|
- People who are happy being listed in their national telephone directory.
|
|
- People who are interested in genealogy or similar subjects who want to rapidly share knowledge and ideas online with people they do not know.
|
|
- People who want to promote their own web presence.
|
WikiWorldBook is a private limited company. The service it offers is solely a low maintenance address book service and not a social network. Users are not subject to the usual deluge of social network notifications (like “request to connect” emails, update emails, spam or new applications) and the service restricts itself to a quarterly service email update.
