January 28, 2002 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- WebStream Internet Solutions (webstream.net), a provider of

business Internet services, announces the creation and launch of its new

WebCasting Division. In conjunction, WebStream also announces the

appointment of Mr. Crawford Grimsley to the position of vice president of

WebCasting Services. Mr. Grimsley is a two-time Heavyweight Boxing Champion

and veteran of the WebCasting business.

Mr. Grimsley was responsible for the creation of Boxing Line and ProWebCast,

two early leaders in this field. Since partnering with WebStream in 1998,

Mr. Grimsley has produced live audience Webcasts for The American Comedy

Awards, The Essence Awards, Miss Hawaiian Tropic, Victoria's Secret, The

Cannes Film Festival, The Sundance Film Festival, and many main boxing

events worldwide.

In joining WebStream as head of the new division, Mr. Grimsley will be

responsible for the creation and integration of business-to-business WebCast

services with WebStream's existing applications and services. WebCasting

services that WebStream is now offering are video hosting and encoding, live

WebCasting, online training, online seminars and video conferencing. All

services are available through WebStream's multi-media collaboration tool,

or WebPlayer.

WebStream says its WebCast Services provide corporations cost savings by

streaming content online as opposed to conventional methods of training

employees or communicating with clients and prospects. WebStream's network

is based on an OC-12 fiber redundant backbone provisioned by UUNet with

additional gigabit fiber connectivity provided by Yipes Communications.

October 2009 - Web Hosting's All Star Team
This has been, for us, one of the most interesting, exciting and challenging build-ups to an issue of the magazine yet, Web Hosting's All Star Team. The balloting process was our first experiment with a kind of user participation we're planning to do a lot more with in the months to come. We had thousands of ballots submitted, with hundreds of write-in suggestions and a demonstration of user engagement that has us feeling super positive about the project.

July 2009 - What am I Worth?
One of the interesting luxuries of working on a project like the printed WHIR magazine is that it allows us to play with things like our point of view from one issue to the next.

This issue carries on with that point of view, asking, in our cover story, "what am I worth?" It's a complicated question without a clear-cut answer.
