Freewebs Awarded First Patent
September 18, 2006 — (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Web site publisher Freewebs (freewebs.com) announced on Monday that the US Patent and Trademark Office had awarded the company its first-ever patent. The patented technology allows Internet content providers to dynamically replicate software across Web servers to maintain consistently fast response times while handling large spikes in network traffic brought on by special events, developing news or geographic situations.
The company says the patent, the “Apparatus, Method and System for Improving Application Performance Across a Communications Network,” is consistent with its goal to “democratize the Internet” and make Web sites as ubiquitous as email addresses.
Freewebs announced last month that it had formed the Freewebs Farms development community (freewebsfarms.com), a group that strives to create a better Web experience for everyone by encouraging the collaborative development of new tools and applications, as well as acquired technologies from Web 2.0 applications developer Mad4Milk (mad4milk.com).
“We have already built a massively scalable platform capable of supporting 50 million users,” says Shervin Pishevar, president of Freewebs. “Now, we’re expanding our offerings through new innovations – from this new patent to the developments being created by the Freewebs Farms community – that will create a better experience for everyone that uses the Internet, large content providers, individuals sharing photos, blogs, music and video on their own Web sites, large and small companies doing business online, and ultimately, anyone who consumes Internet content.”
