TORONTO, CANADA and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK — (Marketwire) — 07/06/12 — Intertainment Media Inc. (TSX VENTURE: INT)(OTCQX: ITMTF)(FRANKFURT: I4T) (“Intertainment” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its world leading real time global communications experience platform, Ortsbo (), on the eve of its second anniversary, July 22nd, 2012, has reached a new global milestone with over 212 Million unique monthly users recorded for the month of June. With over 485 Million page views and 242 Million sessions in June, Ortsbo generated over 571 Million minutes of active use bringing the total minutes to almost 3 Billion since inception.
With over 2.2 Billion Internet users worldwide, according to Internet World Stats, Ortsbo-s focus is on the global marketplace where opportunities are significantly larger than for those social media companies who primarily focus on the North American Internet market, and count a market capacity of only 273 Million users with limited language strategies and capabilities.
The US and Canada are currently leading ecommerce spending globally, however according to Capture Commerce, consumers in other countries are increasingly shopping online. Worldwide ecommerce spending is projected to increase more than 90 percent by 2014 to an estimated $523 Billion. A sizable portion of that growth is expected to come from Latin America, where the amount spent online is projected to more than double. By providing integrated eCommerce language services on a fee or revenue share basis, Ortsbo can provide a better user experience resulting in a greater potential number of completed transactions.
As part of its 2nd Anniversary commitments, Ortsbo will be introducing its new web site (in beta), mobile applications including Trackside, a new multi-language blogging and event communication platform currently being tested at the Toronto Honda Indy, and a series of new platforms allowing further global commercialization and user integration through the introduction of proprietary Ortsbo tools and services.
“Launched just less than 2 years ago, Ortsbo has revolutionized the way people can engage with anyone around the world, in almost any language, effectively breaking down language barriers,” said David Lucatch CEO Ortsbo / Intertainment Media. “With successful program deployments with IndyCar, Variety, Disney, Marvel, Dreamworks, Fox, Yahoo!, MSN and other leading companies, the opportunities continue to expand rapidly as Ortsbo tests and deploys its commercial platforms.”
