Tucows
Launches New Online Services Library [March
22, 2004]
TORONTO,
Mar 22, 2004 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Tucows
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: TCOW), today announced the
launch of a new library of Online Services on www.tucows.com.
Businesses, governments, not-for-profit
organizations and individuals have built a wide range
of utilities made possible by the internet. Travel sites,
resume services, photo hosting sites, ticket vendors,
e-cards, shopping coupons and mortgage lenders are just
a few of the numerous new online services available
today.
Finding the right tool becomes a challenge
for users when faced with so much choice. Tucows' Online
Services Library provides one of the most comprehensive
listing of internet productivity tools, reference sites,
retailers and leisure services. In keeping with the
popular 5-Cow rating system, the hallmark of Tucows'
40,000-title try-before-you-buy software library, each
online service is rated and reviewed by Tucows. The
reviewer evaluates each service relative to its class,
using several criteria to ensure that consumers know
what to expect from each provider. The rating process
weighs ease of use, value, functionality and customer
support to derive an overall score from which a 5-Cow
rating is assigned.
As well, consumers have the opportunity
to rate an online service and report their experiences
to potential future users. Armed with both Tucows rating
and the experiences of other end-users, visitors to
the Online Services Library can make an informed decision
regarding which tool to use and avoid wasting time searching
the internet.
"More and more applications are
being offered online rather than being downloaded to
the desktop. We can now offer our customers a reliable
source of information about these new online tools,"
said Elliot Noss, President and CEO. "It is especially
fitting that the launch of this new library on tucows.com
occurs ten years after the start of the original software
download service."
