ATLANTA, June 13 /PRNewswire/ -- TULIX Systems, Inc. (http://www.tulix.com/), a leading Application Service Provider of solutions to the Broadband ISP Industry, would like to welcome Ben Lomand Co-op, of McMinnville, TN to its thriving list of COMMUNITY customers. In May, Ben Lomand will be officially rolling out TULIX's COMMUNITY under the branded title of Ben Lomand Web Community.

With the new features, Ben Lomand's (http://www.blomand.net/) customers can upload, manage and stream their music, video and movie files directly from the web. In addition, customers 'on the go' can convert their favorite movies and download them to their Video iPod and Sony PlayStation Portable. Members can also activate and use other popular multimedia features, communication tools, a blog/web site creator and a community builder that provides e-commerce capabilities.

In the 9 months after TULIX redesigned the Ben Lomand website and began offering the Ben Lomand Web Community, the percent of internet users visiting Ben Lomand's site has increased 357%, according to Alexa Web Information Service (http://www.alexa.com/). The Alexa search engine, developed by Amazon.com, features a unique Traffic Rank service that has become the de- facto standard for determining a web site's traffic volume. Traffic Rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach).
