Mediaboss Marketing

CLEVELAND - "The Avengers" opened to audiences around the country at midnight and Clevelanders NewsChannel5 spoke with love the film.

"It was epic," said one moviegoer.

"That was the best film I have ever seen," another fan said.

Our crews met up with about 10 to 15 people at Crocker Park as they were leaving the midnight showing and every one of them lauded the film.

Employees at Medical Mutual in downtown Cleveland got the red carpet treatment Friday morning. The building was part of the backdrop when "The Avengers" came to Cleveland last summer to film parts of the movie. On Friday, employees were greeted by Captain America and Black Widow as they showed up to work, to help celebrate the movie opening. The front lobby of Medical Mutual was decorated with balloons and pictures of the film.

Michael King,a security guard at Medical Mutual, got into the superhero spirit. He dressed up as Captain America.

"They greeted me with hugs and I mean the employee from the bagel company asked to take a picture with me," King said.

Bay Village resident David Goebel, 50, played an extra in the movie. He's an internet marketer by day and had never been in a film before. Goebel had a chance to see the film when it premiered in Los Angeles in April. He said he caught a glimpse of himself several times in the movie where he portrayed a distressed businessman and an EMT.

"We helped people that were injured in a couple of scenes on Walnut Avenue and that was fun and actually the last day of shooting in Cleveland and I actually got to drive a car in the scene," said Goebel.

Goebel gave the movie an A+.

The Avengers opens to rave reviews

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 4, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- The Balearic Islands of Mallorca, Ibiza, Minorca and Formentera, along with mainland cities such as Barcelona, Valencia and Marbella, can now be added to Europe's established 'charter' destinations.

With the longest summer season in Europe, and reliable sunshine from April through until late Autumn, these exclusive destinations can now add as much as 75 days to the European cruising season - this now brings a season that incorporates Easter through until the famous "Club closing parties of Ibiza" and the late Autumn sunshine on the southern Iberian peninsula. The Balearics and Spain now join the top cruising destinations of the Cote d'Azur, Costa Smeralda and Amalfi Coast on the charterers' calendar.

Due to an exclusive agreement recently signed by International Yacht Register (IYR), charter yacht clients now have the freedom to choose these exclusive locations, not available since the mid 1990s. Yachts such as the new Feadship "AIR" and the Norman Foster designed Ocean Emerald, among other famous yachts, are available to charter in Spain.

Not only does this offer the beauty of new cruising grounds, but also exclusive access to some of the famous events of the region, such as the Ibiza 123 Festival in July, the Spanish Grand Prix in Barcelona, and the ability to berth in Valencia for the Grand Prix of Europe.

One of the most sought-after locations in Europe is now on the map!

CISPA - Our Congress Can't Sleep At Night Because of Digital Bombs

By Tony Daltorio - May 1, 2012 | Tickers: EBAY, GOOG, TEF, VOD | 0 Comments

As with SIM cards cards, the future of the new digital wallet industry may hang on decisions made in Europe. The decision revolves around the so-called Project Oscar in the United Kingdom. This is a proposed mobile payments system put together by Britain's leading mobile phone operators Vodafone PLC ADR (NASDAQ: VOD), O2 owned by Spain's Telefonica S.A. ADR (NYSE: TEF) and Everything Everywhere, the merged UK business of Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom.

Warnings about Project Oscar to European Commission regulators in Brussels have been sounded by two US companies, Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), which owns PayPal. Both companies, of course, have a lot to lose in the fast-developing mobile payments market if the new system proposed by the European telecom companies becomes the dominant system throughout Europe. The telecom companies have a lot at stake too since they see this sector as the most promising area in their hunt for streams of revenue.

The worry for Google and PayPal is that Project Oscar may make a reality that the payments chip could be built into mobile SIM cards. This would ensure that the mobile operators like Vodafone would have full control over the digital wallet, raising at least the possibility that Google and PayPal would be cut out completely.

Even if the payment chip was built into the phone itself instead of the SIM card, there is a problem for the American companies. A quarter of the mobile phones in the UK are being subsidized by the partners in Project Oscar, meaning that on those phones Google and PayPal could still be shut out if the telecom operators refuse to sell or subsidize those phones.

Paypal may have the most to lose if Project Oscar comes to fruition. It would like to be seen as the leader in the industry as it moves to define the future of money. CEO John Donahoe recently said, PayPal mobile payment volumes continue to be on fire. A rapidly growing part of PayPal's $1.3 billion in revenues is coming from two areas overseas markets and through many of its recently-launched mobile payment initiatives.

This tussle is just the latest as players jockey for position in a very profitable market. According to Juniper Research, the global mobile payments sector had already grown to a $240 billion market in 2011 and is forecast to at least triple in size over the next five years. A key part of that global market will be Europe.

Google is launching their Google Wallet service in Europe in the first half of this year in the race to become the most commonly used digital payment method for consumers. Google has said that it has actually been easier to find companies in Europe willing to partner with them on the Google Wallet than it has been in the United States. So it obviously does not want to be behind the eight ball in a key European market like Great Britain.

PayPal spoke for all parties looking to break into the European mobile payment sector when it said We believe that consumers should be able to choose from a wide range of payment methods [in Europe]. For their part, the European telecom companies stated that Project Oscar will make it easy for companies of all sizes to create brand-new services that will sit in the mobile wallet. It remains to be seen who the European Commission sides with and what the decision on the matter will be.
