Fifty of the top CEO's from the OnMedia 100 will present their market strategies to a panel of industry experts in a "CEO Showcase." "The OnMedia 100 winners have excelled in key strategic areas in the advertising, marketing, public relations, and promotion industry," said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn.

The OnMedia 100 was selected from over hundreds of companies, nominated by a panel of industry experts in the online ad service, technology, community platform, mobile advertising, marketing, and Web analytic sectors from around the world.

Magnify.net\'s strength is in the channels that people and businesses create to build a community around activities, niche markets, topics, etc. With the integration of broadcast video search and instant publishing, Magnify provides a new category of content that result in the creation of entirely new varieties of channels and visitors.
