One Of A Kind: Sites That Stand Out - 8/24/06

On the internet, it’s very common to come upon the same-old, same-old. Lots of duplicate content. Everyone trying to make a buck or two for free. The net is now full of junk.

But there are still gems out there. Original, high-value content hasn’t disappeared completely. But it is harder to find than ever. That’s why we’re featuring a series of posts on websites that we encounter which offer totally original, valuable content.

The first site that we’d like to feature is the Greater Reading PA Video News channel called Berks.tv. Berks.tv is truly a vision of the next generation of web content. Forget Web 2.0. Berks.tv shows us how the internet can be used to empower and sustain local communities. Using high definition video in 5 minute long interview segments, the folks at Berks.tv are taking a grassroots approach to internet tv. By interviewing local Reading musicians, businesses, sports teams and even the tech-savvy mayor of Reading himself, Berks.tv is providing that unique local flavor to news that has gone missing for so many years.

Not only are they doing something totally original with their site, but the site owners are doing it well. That matters. This is no shoddy fly by night project. The quality of video is top notch, recorded in HD. Much better quality than sites like YouTube.

For a taste of things to come packaged up in a well executed site, be sure to check out Berks.tv.

SeaWaves Acquires Colorteck Network

SeaWaves Technology is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of the webhosting company Colorteck Network. A Colorteck acquisition made perfect sense to SeaWaves as we look to expand our online presence and expand our customer base.

With over 300 active customers, and a variety of standard and reseller hosting plans, Colorteck is a full service webhosting company with dedicated servers at a major datacenter.

Not only does the acquisition allow SeaWaves to offer more expansive webhosting possibilities to our clients, but it also provides us with a sizable base of customers to which we can offer our highly successful web promotion services.

We are excited about the possibilities that this acquisition provides, and hope to share more about our vision in the coming months.
