Tom Holcomb of Irving, Texas has been identified as the very first customer to purchase a G Convertible from Grubbs Infiniti and Infiniti has high expectations that many other consumers will follow his lead. Holcomb purchased one of the Premier Editions of the G Convertible which was first offered through the Bloomingdale's holiday catalog.

"The new G37 Convertible is a great addition to the Infiniti G line that has already earned such prestigious accolades as Car and Driver's '10 Best Cars' in 2009," said Ben Poore, vice president, Infiniti. "It adds all of the excitement of open-air motoring without compromising the G's legendary performance and signature styling. This new G Convertible is one more compelling reason for buyers to put Infiniti at the top of their consideration lists."

The G Convertible "Own the Sky" Campaign:

The "Own the Sky" marketing launch is an innovative multi-platform campaign featuring never-been-seen experiences in the digital space, content-rich interactive online creative and traditional media in print and TV.

"With its beautiful design, performance that inspires you to drive and an unbeatable open top experience, the Infiniti G Convertible allows you to "own the sky," said Poore. "We bring that experience to life in our innovative marketing campaign by going beyond traditional advertising. By leveraging new, customized technologies that create unique and personalized Infiniti experiences, the "Own the Sky" campaign raises awareness among our core target audience in a very meaningful way."

To launch the all-new Infiniti G Convertible in the digital space, Infiniti is partnering with sites like Yahoo, MSN, CNET, Hulu, NY Magazine, KBB.com and Edmunds.com to build interactive experiences that encourage users to "own the sky," inspiring interaction in a variety of ways and creating awareness of the G Convertible's unique features. For a full day on Yahoo, the sun from the homepage's weather icon is inspired to literally move across the page as the G Convertible's hardtop roof retracts. Another rich media experience enables users to be their own DJs, using stars in the sky to mash up a mix of their favorite jams, a hat tip to the G Convertible's revolutionary sound system.

Beyond the online creative, Infiniti will be partnering with Cooliris, MoVoxx, Clearspring, 1Cast and Hulu to utilize a series of new technologies across multiple digital and mobile platforms that revolutionize how users engage with visual content and consume seamless entertainment experiences on their desktop and within the social media space. Infiniti will also be the exclusive sponsor of Technorati's launch of Twittorati, a site featuring the mashup of Technorati's functionalities with Twitter's microblogging platform, which will feature prominent Infiniti branding and G Convertible creative elements.

Infiniti G Convertible Details:

The first-ever G Convertible features a three-piece power retractable hardtop engineered to deliver styling that looks as good with the top up as down. The exclusive convertible-focused interior offers standard leather-appointed seats and is available with a Bose(R) Open Air Sound System with Bose(R) front seat personal speakers, climate-controlled front seats with heating and cooling feature, and an Advanced Climate Control System that not only adjusts fan speed in accordance to top position and vehicle speed, but actively cleans the air when the top is closed.

The new G Convertible comes equipped with a standard 325-horsepower 3.7-liter V6, backed by a choice of a 7-speed automatic transmission with available magnesium paddle shifters or a responsive close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission - offering buyers the same high levels of performance as the G37 Sedan and G37 Coupe, along with the wide-open exhilaration of top-down driving.

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is $43,850 for the G37 Convertible and $43,900 for the G37 Convertible Sport 6MT.

MCLEAN, Va. - June 3, 2009 — The most popular vegetable consumed by American children as young as 15 months old is the french fry.

Gerber and Nestlé are trying to change that surprising statistic with the Start Healthy, Stay Healthy^TM I Pledge program — inviting parents to join their unwavering commitment to nourish a healthier generation, one baby at a time, by making their own pledge to the healthy growth and development of their young children.

Clearspring Technologies, the leading widget network, is providing Gerber with its services, including the creation, distribution and tracking of I Pledge widgets.

Pledges can be created at Gerber.com/pledge by uploading photos, entering promises to children, and customizing the design and accompanying soundtrack. A widget is then available, allowing the custom pledge to be posted and shared to more than 70 popular online destinations. The widget contains three components — a personal pledge, a gallery of others pledges and videos that provide educational information about children's eating habits. Both the widget and Web site were conceptualized and designed by O'Grady Meyers.

The widget empowers parents and caregivers to share their pledge in public places on the Web, immediately increasing the reach of the Gerber message and exposure to new audiences. Since its inception in March more than 28,000 pledges have been created.

"Making and sharing your commitment to your baby's healthy growth and development is a meaningful way to connect with other parents," said Anna Mohl, vice president of integrated marketing at Nestlé Infant Nutrition. "The widget allows users to create and share their pledge in their own space, with personalization and share-ability increasing the power of the pledge."

The I Pledge widget provides a dynamic experience, encouraging self-expression with the creation of a pledge and photo slideshow, connecting to others with the ability to view others pledges and educating through short, helpful videos relaying important nutritional information. The widget has been viewed more than 3.5 million times since March.

"Sharing is the heart of the social Web. The I Pledge widget makes sharing a personal pledge simple," said Peggy Fry, senior vice president of Media Services at Clearspring. "By having the widget on Twitter, blogs or Facebook pages, it becomes a daily reminder of the sincere pledge these busy moms and caregivers have made to their children. Gerber is a trusted brand that is taking a new approach to helping families share an important message."

Since its creation in March, nearly 16,000 hours have been spent viewing the widget, demonstrating the compelling content in this mom-generated widget. Because the content is so personal, the average interaction rate is extremely high at 10 percent. Parents and caregivers have been so eager to share pledges and help raise a healthier generation that the I Pledge widget has been installed over 100,000 times since March, and has garnered nearly 700,000 unique visitors.

"We hope that the ability to share a pledge will inspire others to make similar promises to their children," said Mohl. "We want to foster a community of parents and caregivers who are working together to nourish a healthier generation, one baby at a time."

McLean, Va. - May 20, 2009 — Clearspring Technologies, the leading widget and content sharing network connecting publishers and audiences on the distributed Web, today announced that National Geographic is using its services and can create, distribute, track and monetize widgets. National Geographic's widgets allow fans to share photos, videos and puzzles with friends through social media Web sites such as Facebook, MySpace, and iGoogle.

"National Geographic is committed to delivering ways for our audiences to engage with our compelling video content and award-winning photography," said Brendan Hart, vice president of marketing for National Geographic Digital Media.

National Geographic offers a variety of widgets with its premium content, including movie and music widgets, two puzzle widgets, daily news, photo of the day, and video of the day widgets. These widgets engage users and help introduce the brand to new audiences. The widgets help drive consumers back to the brand and increases traffic on NationalGeographic.com.

Since launch in December 2007, the widget has had more than 39 million views and nearly 300 thousand installs. It has been grabbed from the top social networking and startpage environments, with approximately 37 percent of the installs coming from Facebook and 50 percent from Google.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. General Services Administration now has a terms of service agreement with Facebook, a site with more than 200 million active users and MySpace a leading social portal for connecting people, content and culture. GSA has also reached agreements with Blist which provides a consumer focused service for publishing data on the web, Slideshare a site for sharing of PowerPoint, word and PDF documents and AddThis, a bookmarking and sharing platform reaching more than a half billion users worldwide.

Since last year, a coalition of agencies led by GSA has been negotiating agreements with each new media provider that can work across government. Other federal agencies can now choose to sign the same agreement if it meets their needs because it resolves the legal concerns found in many standard terms and conditions that pose problems for federal agencies, such as liability, endorsements, advertising, freedom of information and governing law.

"We are working at a fevered pace to improve the public's experience when engaging with the government," says Martha Dorris, acting associate administrator, Office of Citizen Services and Communications. "USA.gov is breaking new ground by migrating to new media sites to provide a presence and to open up a dialog with the public. We know that many other agencies want to do the same, and having these agreements is an important first step."

Having a terms-of-service agreement with these new media providers will make it easier for government agencies to create pages and use them to dramatically increase access to information, offer education on government services, and further empower citizens to interact with government.

To date, GSA has signed agreements with Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, Blist, Slideshare, AddThis and blip.tv, and is in discussions with many other providers that offer free new media services. In the agreements, new media providers work with GSA as the principal point of contact, making the process more efficient for the government and the providers.

Answering President Obama's call to increase citizen participation in government, GSA has made it easier for federal agencies to use new media tools while meeting their legal requirements.

GSA provides a centralized delivery system of products and services to the federal government, leveraging its enormous buying power to get the best value for taxpayers.

• Founded in 1949, GSA manages more than one-fourth of the government's total procurement dollars and influences the management of $500 billion in federal assets, including 8,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 213,000 vehicles.
• GSA helps preserve our past and define our future, as a steward of more than 480 historic properties, and as manager of USA.gov, the official portal to federal government information and services.
• GSA's mission to provide superior workplaces, expert technology solutions, acquisition services, purchasing and E-Gov travel solutions and management policies, at best value, allows federal agencies to focus on their core missions.

McLean, Va. & SAN FRANCISCO - April 21, 2009 — Clearspring Technologies, the leading widget network connecting publishers and audiences on the distributed Web, today announced ConnectedAds, a new service that lets advertisers use Facebook in a more targeted way by tapping into information about the public connections between people on the social networking site. In addition to better targeting, ConnectedAds also provides a more engaging and relevant experience for users. The service uses the same industry-leading sharing and tracking as other Clearspring widgets, making it significantly easier to instigate and measure word-of-mouth campaigns.

With ConnectedAds, advertisers can measure the entire conversation around the widget including comments, news feeds, shares, notifications, fan page links and other interactions. In the past, the only metrics for widgets on social networking sites were installs and views. For example, if people install movie trailer widgets on their Facebook pages, the movie studio can now measure if that application appeared on a person's newsfeed and count subsequent friend comments that it generated. They can also measure if it was shared with followers on Twitter or added to their Delicious bookmarks.

"Today, widgets can be distributed broadly across the social Web, while also providing deep accountability via metrics", Hooman Radfar, co-founder and chief executive officer of Clearspring stated. "We are moving to the next phase of the evolution of advertising in widgets — enabling them to more deeply integrate with the environment they are installed in. The holy grail for advertisers is to measure and predict word-of-mouth advertising across this emerging social landscape. ConnectedAds are going to accelerate the realization of that vision."

Social sites are opening their messaging and social information at an accelerating pace — Facebook Connect, Google FriendConnect, and MySpace ID are all examples of open initiatives. Every day there are more channels for advertisers to use to engage their advocates and customers. The expanding social network opportunities make it difficult for advertisers to reach their audience in the constantly changing social landscape. Clearspring provides a turn-key solution for advertisers to leverage these channels by creating, distributing, and tracking Connected Ads.

Clearspring's one-click widget sharing and tracking platform, which forms the basis of ConnectedAds, has empowered the largest publishers (NBC Universal, Time Warner, MTV Networks) and advertisers (Clearasil, Sprint) to virally distribute widgets across the social Web at a massive scale. Coupled with Clearsping's pay-for-performance widget distribution network, this solution has become a standard means to reach social media audiences.

As part of the ConnectedAds program, Clearspring will be extending its ABCi certified widget metrics suite to capture social interactions. For advertisers, measuring virality is growing beyond the need to know about installs and views. ConnectedAds can be spread across 80+ social destinations and leverage social information from Facebook and MySpace platforms. Clearspring plans to support additional services in the coming months.

Clearspring is a one-stop shop for advertisers — the company develops widgets and takes ownership of placement. This is important for advertisers that don't have the expertise or time to work with many different vendors on a very large campaign, such as a movie studio launching a large summer blockbuster.
