HowardForum.Com, Internet's Largest Mobile Community Site, Joins NetShelter Technology Media's Vertical Network

Posted on: Thursday, 3 April 2008, 12:00 CDT

NetShelter Technology Media (www.netshelter.net), which pioneered the concept of the vertical media network assembling the largest technology-oriented audience in the world, today announced that HowardForum.com, the largest mobile community site on the Internet, has joined NetShelter's technology vertical network. The announcement was made in conjunction with CTIA.

HowardForums.com has nearly 800,000 members and features more than 10 million posts. An average of 6,000 active users can be found online at nearly all times of the day. When HowardForum.com traffic is aggregated with mobile-centric sites already represented by NetShelter including PhoneScoop.com, MobileBurn.com and InfoSyncWorld.com, Thoughts Media Network and nearly 50 other leading mobile properties, NetShelter can now provide advertisers access to over 5 million mobile professionals according to comScore.

"HowardForums.com hosts discussions devoted to niches within a niche. Conversations are broken down by carrier and manufacturer -- Cingular, Motorola, Nokia, and so on," says Peyman Nilforoush, Co-Founder and CEO for NetShelter Technology Media. "Within those sections are subsections on subjects like troubleshooting and modding, and within those are vast threads on specific topics like Rokr firmware and Verizon's customer service. For example, a post on a new Motorola phone racked up about 250,000 pageviews in less than a year. We are very pleased to have exclusive control of this invaluable inventory and will shortly announce a wide range of custom publishing programs including mobile stores on the site."

"NetShelter Technology Media is the exclusive partner for all of the inventory in its Network so can offer a variety of enhanced advertising opportunities such as online stores, full site sponsorship, home page roadblocks, page takeovers, over the page units, and pre-roll video," says Howard Chui, Founder of HowardForums.com. "I am confident that they will help us monetize one of the largest gathering of mobile platform users found anywhere in the world."

HowardForums.com (http://www.howardforums.com) is the Internet's premiere mobile phone discussion board made up of a large and influential community. Specific forums include mobile phone related manufacturers, carriers (service providers), Smartphone/PDA (convergence), industry and technological advances.

HowardForums.com was launched in 2001 to address the lack of cellphone focused websites then. Operating out of Toronto, Canada with moderators and contributors from around the globe, our emphasis is on the North American (U.S. and Canadian) market.

Launched in 1999 as NetShelter, Inc., NetShelter Technology Media (www.netshelter.net) first pioneered the concept of the vertical media network assembling one of the largest technology-oriented audiences in the world via the NetShelter Branded Network (NSBN) and helping leading interactive advertising agencies and marketers engage with their core target audience of technology, IT buyers and influencers. NetShelter Technology Media reaches over 30 million unique visitors worldwide according to comScore and is ranked 2nd in reaching technology audiences online (closely trailing CNET). In a fragmented online media landscape NetShelter Technology Media is the new platform for technology publishing online. It partners with the top independent voices in the technology industry and helps them grow their media business. NetShelter's goal is to become the global leader in digital marketing services for the technology sector.
