Nine Lives Media Inc.’s Next Web Site

29 04 2008

We’re nearing the launch of our next media site, Works With U (found at www.workswithu.com). The site, which will debut in early May (very early May … hint, hint), will help academia, businesses and consumers to discover the full power of Ubuntu Linux.

Initially, we didn’t expect the site launch to be too difficult. After all, our launches of MSPmentor and The VAR Guy went relatively smoothly in January because we had clear goals and a good site development partner. We quickly mastered new widgets and ad management systems for both of those sites, which now rank among the fastest-growing blogs in the IT industry. In fact, MSPmentor and The VAR Guy are already ranked within the top three percent of all blogs worldwide, according to Technorati.com.

Does Ubuntu Linux Work With U?

12 04 2008

Where is Nine Lives Media Inc. going next? Here’s a hint: In addition to our first two media sites (MSPmentor and The VAR Guy) we’ve been testing a third site called All About Ubuntu — which is devoted to Ubuntu Linux coverage.

In case you didn’t know, Ubuntu is the fastest-growing Linux distribution in the world. Our All About Ubuntu beta site has received more than 70,000 page views during our tests. Readers seem to be enjoying it. But All About Ubuntu is only a beta media site.

We’ve got bigger plans… bigger ambitions. In fact, we’re nearly ready to show you a vastly improved site. It will feature a new name, a new URL, and plenty of content for established and aspiring Ubuntu users

Coming soon: Works With U (www.workswithu.com).

Works With U

Stay tuned.
