www.inventbay.com - Attention Group IR/PR Contact: Daryl Toor, 770-777-9489 dtoor@attentiongroup.com InventBay.com, Inc. (Pink Sheets:INVB):, a dynamic service company dedicated to helping inventors successfully bring their creative genius to market, will launch a new and dramatically enhanced Website for inventors - and service providers who help inventors take their creations from workbench to store shelves - at InventBay.com's First Annual International Invention Expo, October 18th and 19th, 2008 at the Las Vegas Sands Expo and Convention Center.
"This newly-redesigned Website is the direct outgrowth of our commitment to serve the invention community in every way we can," according to InventBay.com CEO Keith Hammack. "Our Website's distinctive and highly-functional features have been developed as the result of our recent acquisition of IdeaTango, which has now been fully integrated into InventBay.com. IdeaTango's inherent design functionality, as well as its useful features and community, will dramatically enhance our online presence."
In addition to an updated design, InventBay.com's new Website, created under the direction of former IdeaTango CEO Bryan Daigle - now Vice President of Strategy and Expansion at InventBay.com - includes the following upgrades, each aimed at improving inventors' access to InventBay.com's broad range of services.
-- The updated "Web 2.0" design features built-in social networking technology to facilitate two-way communications between InventBay.com and its constituents, including inventors and those who provide professional services to inventors.
-- The site offers improved invention listings, which are now searchable by:
1. Name
2. Category
3. Product development stage
4. Location
Product scouts - professionals looking for specific types of inventions that might best benefit from their own distinctive skills - can also sign up for customized announcements if new inventions are posted in their category of interest.
-- With this new Website, inventors can now not only post inventions, but they can also edit and update their invention listings.
-- InventBay.com has added customized profile pages and other social networking features that help members keep track of their site activities - and share their inventions and thoughts with other members.
-- InventBay.com has added discussion forums online at the site - places where inventors and industry professionals can both ask and answer members' questions.
-- There is now an up-to-date - and constantly updated - business directory on the site. Here, inventors can find, rate, and review service providers.
1. These providers range from patent attorneys to manufacturers to marketing consultants.
2. This feature is particularly important in an industry unfortunately known to be rampant with "scams" and "scam artists" looking to take advantage of inventors.
3. All too often, inventors are people who know how to create something new under the sun, but don't know how to bring their inventions to market - and don't know who they can trust to help them turn creativity into products. InventBay.com's new Website puts inventors in touch with reliable experts who - when it comes to helping inventors - have strong track records
-- On the new InventBay.com site, users can sign up for updates either through the newsletter or through real-time RSS feeds.
"However," Hammack pointed out, "InventBay.com remains what it always has been - 100% free to inventors."
"This new Website will be formally launched at InventBay.com's First Annual International Invention Expo, October 18th and 19th, 2008 at the Las Vegas Sands Expo and Convention Center," Hammack explained. "This Expo is the real-world manifestation of our Website - a place where inventors can network both with other inventors and with those professionals who support inventors. The new Website itself represents the next step in our evolution into the market-leading inventor-support business, on or off the Internet.
"At this Expo, hundreds of creative inventions, along with their creators, will be on display," Hammack said. "These inventors will be there looking for experts who can help them bring their most brilliant innovations out of the shop and into the marketplace."
