Wibiki Adblocker Opens Space for Widgets and Social Networks

PR Newswire (US)
NEW YORK, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Wibiki has launched a free, easy
to use server based "adblocker" which users can activate simply by
adding a setting in their computers manually or by download at
http://www.wibiki.com/. For years, the prime Internet real estate
at the top and sides of web pages has belonged to ads. Users had no
control over what appeared there. Now, with Wibiki, users can block
ads and can choose either replacement content, such as posting
boards and free personal widgets, or just leave the space white.
"Users can block ads safely with no fancy software and actually use
the blocked ad space. I can share my posts with my buddies without
having to go to other websites or my email. We have built a Public
Timeline Twitter widget as an initial demonstration of what we plan
to offer. Our goal is to offer users what they want and help them
reduce unnecessary site hopping across the various social
networks," said Michael Gill, a software engineer of Wibiki labs.
In addition, Wibiki has a block and unblock choice for its users.
When in blocked mode, all ads known to the server are not seen by
users. When in unblocked mode, users can see a posting "biki" board
where they can view recent community posts. A "buddy" board feature
allows friends to have a private message board to share their
special interest links. "We have discovered new space for users to
work with on the Internet. We look forward to working with the
advertising community to help reduce "adblindness" which hampers
the value proposition for today's online advertisers. At Wibiki, we
believe in a simple motto ... the users rule," stated Shant
Hovnanian of Wibiki. Wibiki is a subsidiary of Speedus Corp.
