ATLANTIC BEACH, Fla., Aug. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading social media integrator Yovia and high-technology research and development firm SourceFuse combine forces to capitalize on a growing demand for Yovia's 'ad network of people' and SourceFuse's rapid crowd-source and open-source technology platforms.
The firms have been working together for 18 months as part of an ongoing project to optimize online marketing and rapid product development and testing, for organizations such as the U.S. Government, top entertainment networks and large traditional publishers.

"We are excited to bring our open source expertise and application development capacity to the general market with Yovia," said Kelly Dyer, CEO of SourceFuse.
