NEW YORK, NEW YORK and LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA and SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA and TORONTO, CANADA — (Marketwire) — 07/14/11 — Intertainment Media Inc. (“Intertainment” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE: INT)(OTCQX: ITMTF)(FRANKFURT: I4T) announces that its desktop app KNCTR® (pronounced “Connector”) – a key program of Intertainment-s wholly owned division itiBiti Systems Inc. () has now surpassed the 1.25 million unique installation mark in the North American market all within the product-s first 4 months of launching.
KNCTR® saw over 250,000 new unique installations throughout North America over the previous two week period, establishing another new record weekly high. The program continues to deliver extremely solid daily user engagement minutes that have remained over the 13 minute mark since the launch of the platform. The active user engagement continues to make the KNCTR® platform a key tool for brands and consumers alike with the app featuring video content, integration of social media and the ability to make FREE long distance phone calls to cell phones and land lines to anywhere in North America.
KNCTR® is the next generation of social communication and entertainment applications that allows users to aggregate their social media(s) and voice services into one location on their desktop. Unlike Skype, the telephone feature on KNCTR® is completely free to the consumer allowing FREE local and long distance calls to mobile phones and land lines. KNCTR® is a premium advertising model that allows for branded sponsorship, pre-roll and display advertising opportunities for brands and service providers alike.
With the projected impact that tablets will have on the personal computing space, with over 50 million units to be sold within the next two years in North America alone, KNCTR® is positioned to enhance the functionality and usability of these devices by allowing them to become a fully functioning phone unit.
“We continue to see acceleration in the week over week growth pattern for KNCTR®” said Brad Parry, CMO Intertainment Media Inc., “To be reaching this broad of an audience, consistently, with the KNCTR® platform only continues to solidify the belief that the platform has become a mainstay of the consumer-s daily digital habit.”
Notably, the itiBiti desktop app has been hailed by Microsoft Corp. as “the next generation of integrated social media applications – easy, scalable and fun.”
