This week, eSpew further improved its “music on demand” concept by now, in cooperation with with HooQs(TM)bringing out a new innovative feature with which audio fans can download free audio copies via eSpew.com and use for this the service provided by HooQs for the connection between the Internet and mobile telephone.
“Sending music to the mobile phone works simply – namely by selecting the desired song, entering the friend’s telephone number and selecting the Send to Mobile’ function on the website,” says Daniel Cohen, co-founder and Technical Director of eSpew.com.
The MP3 search engine eSpew.com allows users functions such as searching for and playing free music, chatting with friends, sharing music, creating multiple online MP3 music playlists, saving MP3 music favorites and more, without these having to download or install additional software on their computer or enter personal data.
According to Itay Gissin, founder of HooQs(TM), music found via eSpew.com is immediately available worldwide via any Internet-capable mobile phone. Users do not have to enter personal data in order to send tracks via HooQs(TM)to. “HooQs ensures that users get exactly what they are looking for on their telephone. Handling an extensive range of music tracks on the Internet together with genuine personalization of mobile phones will downright revolutionize mobile communications media. Media companies use HooQs(TM) to establish an effective, targeted mobile communications channel directly from their website,” explains Itay Gissin.
The business plan of eSpew.com was designed so that the costs incurred are financed through revenue from conventional website advertising, audio advertising (advertising played between tracks), the distribution of ringtones and contracts for white-label products.
Like Google, Yahoo and other conventional search engines, eSpew also uses its own powerful search-engine spider, which can crawl subpages of websites in search of the corresponding MP3 audio tracks. With the help of spider technology, users can be sure that none of the MP3 music listed on the
Website of eSpew.com contains viruses.
“Itunes.com recently published sales results according to which the company sold more than 2 billion downloaded music tracks at USD 1 per track,” says Yedidia Ehrlich, CEO of eSpew. “I personally cannot understand why one should pay for audio tracks if one can search for and play them for free.”
“Since the music tracks are not located directly on eSpew’s web server, by saving bandwidth costs we can invest more money in additional innovative technologies in order to help users achieve an excellent personal online experience.”
