Auction Video will be available for interviews with media, press, and organizations that want to learn more about this cutting-edge technology. The hospitality suite will be open Tuesday, February 22, 2005. Please contact Lori Douglass by email to [email protected] or at 917-655-0818 to schedule a private demonstration. "We are delighted that Auction Video has chosen the Collaborative Conferencing Summit to debut this cutting edge technology," said Todd Brockman, Chairman of CCS. Auction Video has three main product lines that help online sellers worldwide to show what they are selling. These products are Auction Video, Show and Tell, and Auction Video Live. Auction Video is a browser-based, easy-to-use product that allows users to instantly record a 60-second video, or upload a pre-recorded video from a camera or cell phone, and post it to an online store, dating site, resume site, or auction site. The Show and Tell product allows users to add up to 30 digital images that are optimized for clarity and speed, adding self-paced voice narrations. "Some of the feedback from the user community we have received is overwhelming, we feel Auction Video is going to have the same impact as PayPal has had on auctions worldwide, and most importantly the distinct advantage we have is that Auction Video is easy to use," said Greg Ellis, CEO of Auction Video. Auction Video Live allows users to broadcast live video inside their online store or Auction, and answer text-based questions from their buyers via instant voice and video. Overstock.com recently used Auction Video to sell a $156,000 twenty-three carat diamond, and the Grammy Awards have used Auction Video on eBay to raise money for their online charity Auctions. "Any sellers who don't bring additional interactivity to their listings via voice and video in the near future...are toast," said eBay Powerseller Richard Delashmit, with Auctions-togo.com (www.auctions-togo.com). "We believe that video will be an important new component for listing online items in the future. This will be especially true for high-end listings, and items that are difficult to photograph and describe, such as collectibles," said Troy Thoreson, President of Auc Pro.
