HOTLINE COMMUNICATIONS @ MACWORLD EXPO SAN FRANCISCO. Corporate Development Manager Jason Roks on Conference Panel.
by David Murphy <[email protected]>, January 4, 1998
Hotline Communications Limited, <http://www.HotlineSW.com>, will be
exhibiting at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco, California, from
January 6th through 9th, 1998, in the Developer Central Pavilion, North
Hall. In addition, Jason Roks, Corporate Development manager, will be on
the panel of "Choosing and Using Tools for the Coolest Web site!",
Concurrent Session C-13. Hotline Communications is very pleased to have
these opportunities to meet with many of its loyal customers.
For over a year, Hotline Communications has successfully functioned "virtually", using its own "Hotline" Internet software. (It is only recently that an actual, physical Headquarters was established, in Toronto.) Clearly, with the right communications tools - the Hotline Client and Server - virtual offices are possible.
Since its introduction in late 1996, this Hotline Suite has rapidly gained the respect and admiration of hundreds of users spanning the globe. Featured in publications such as MacWeek (USA), Publish (USA), MacWorld (Sweden), MacWorld (France), Net Professional (USA), MacUser (UK/Ireland), MacUser (Australia), Mac Mania (Brazil), Apple Wizards (USA), MacZine (Italy), PC Quest (India), Mac Addict Online (USA), and literary many others, Hotline has gained an enormous international following. The winner of Macworld Sweden's Golden Musen Award (Best in Category - Software Innovation), and 4.5 stars from MacUser (UK), the Hotline Suite has been heralded by the Cyberian Outpost's BetaNet (http://www.BetaBeta.com) as "a great suite of Internet software... perhaps one of the most exciting and innovative Mac products we've seen this year."
Robert Z. Pearlman, On-Line Manager for the National Space Society (http://www.NSS.org) says, "Hotline for Macintosh is an excellent piece of software that provides another 'killer app' for the superior platform. Not only does the program fill the need for a chat/ftp utility, but it also separates itself from the established IRC by making full use of MacOS features to make the program easy to use for any semi-experienced Macintosh user. With established Macintosh community leaders, such as Ambrosia and MacAddict, and budding new ones, such as MacLine, Hotline has provided an excellent opportunity for the Mac community to unite." The introduction of Hotline for the PC at the Comdex trade show opened the wonders of the Hotline community to PC users, too.
Whether you are Hotline's biggest fan or are simply curious about it, Hotline Communications invites you to visit its booth in the MacWorld Expo's Developer Central Pavilion inside San Francisco's Moscone Center. Meet with members of the enthusiastic crew from Australia, Canada, and the United States, and find out about the latest buzz coming out of the company. Attendees will want to be sure to ask about "NetScrawl", Hotline Communications' revolutionary new "MacPaint for the internet."
Hotline Communications Ltd. may be setting up a special tracker of Hotline servers at the MacWorld Expo. Interested exhibitors should contact Jason Roks as soon as possible at: <[email protected]>. More information will be posted to the official Hotline Communications server <hotline://hlserver.com> as it becomes available.
ABOUT HOTLINE COMMUNICATIONS[edit]
Hotline Communications grew out of the efforts of Adam Hinkley of Melbourne, Australia, in the fall of 1996. Adam's vision was to provide an easy-to-use method for Internet communications - simple enough for a novice to understand, while at the same time, powerful enough to impress more seasoned users. In addition to this noble undertaking, Adam bucked the current trends of bloatware by developing Hotline's programs with a footprint small enough to run comfortably in less than two megabytes of RAM. "I'm happy to say that all Hotline products fully meet and EXCEED that goal!" says Mr. Hinkley.
Adam's convictions come from his recognition of impending change; existing technology is no barrier to him. It is difficult to believe that since the World Wide Web's inception in 1989, there have been few significant Internet facilitators (other than an overworked HTML and a currently unpredictable Java). This lack of technology has left the door open for many innovators to present their creations.
Rather than cripple his software to comply with backward compatibility issues, Adam developed and incorporated new, cutting-edge proprietary protocols. These protocols have proven themselves to be lean and fast, making them future standards for the Internet. Users report that the Hotline Protocol is much faster, more stable, and much easier to use than the File Transfer Protocol and Internet Relay Chat, which are the long-standing reigns in their fields.
In January of 1997, enthusiastic members of the Hotline community formed "The Evangelistic Hotline Public Relations and Marketing Team" to help spread the word, and to propel Adam's innovative vision to the next level. After a few weeks, this team joined Adam as the founders of Hotline Communications. Today, Hotline Communications Ltd. enters the software industry in full stride, ready to demonstrate the impressive benefits of its alternate vision for networking and virtual communications. In particular, Hotline Communications is determined to fight the conception that quality communication has to come with extreme costs, platform incompatibilities, and outrageous hardware requirements.
Be part of the action by visiting Hotline Communications at the MacWorld San Francisco Developer Central Pavilion in the Moscone Center.
