Synacor Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNC), the trusted multiscreen technology and
monetization partner for video, internet and communications
providers, device manufacturers, and enterprises, today announced
that United Online Advertising Network, Inc., a subsidiary of
United Online, Inc. (Nasdaq:UNTD), has launched a new Web portal
for its NetZero and Juno Internet access and email subscribers. The
next-generation portal features syndicated digital content from
Synacor, including breaking news from a dozen content providers
delivering business, politics, lifestyle, tech and sports, as well
as Synacor’s daily, original video program, “Don’t Miss,” covering
upcoming not-to-be missed TV shows.
“We are thrilled about the launch of the new portal,” said Sam
Lee, SVP Communication Segment NetZero/Juno. “Our goal with the
redesign is to provide a rich, interactive experience that our
members will want to visit daily. For the first time, we are able
to give NetZero and Juno subscribers video content and an
experience that is optimized across devices, including smartphones
and tablets.”
The new portal is cleaner, more modern and more expansive than
the one it replaces. It also offers a much-improved experience when
subscribers connect via a broadband connection, which is the case
more than 80% of the time.
“We are excited to work with Synacor,” said Jenell Cook, VP
Operations of United Online Advertising Network. “Our combined
capabilities greatly improve NetZero’s ability to provide its
subscribers with the cutting edge content that they expect, while
also opening up new advertising opportunities for us. This is a
relationship that is structured to grow as the landscape changes
and as both of our businesses evolve.”
“Synacor is delighted to be working with United Online,
providing video content and services to its ISP user base,” said
Synacor CEO Himesh Bhise. “By rolling out our newest generation
portal, United Online benefits from Synacor’s syndicated video
content and monetization components. We look forward to expanding
our relationship in the years ahead and helping United Online
continue to deliver outstanding, multi-device experiences to its
NetZero and Juno subscribers.”
NetZero offers a full range of high quality, low-priced Internet
access services including high speed dial-up, home DSL, mobile
broadband and home wireless broadband.
