Las Vegas, Nev., Sept. 20, 2006 — Small Times today announced the re-launch of its web site — SmallTimes.com. The premier online destination covering commercial micro and nanotechnology, SmallTimes.com has been enhanced with an upgrade to its Web platform. The announcement was made at Small Times NanoCon International in Las Vegas.
“The new SmallTimes.com has many new features, such as integrated webcasts and white paper support,” said David Forman, editor-in-chief at Small Times. “It is designed to be easier to read and navigate while still maintaining the look-and-feel and quality content that our readers expect.”
Launched in April 2001 and updated daily ever since, SmallTimes.com has become a must-read daily news source for information about trends in micro and nanotech manufacturing, tools and materials, as well as business issues surrounding micro and nano commercialization, including economic development, financing, and more.
Specifically, the site has the following new features:
- All banner ads are now consistent with IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) standards.
- Font sizes have been adjusted to allow for increased readability.
- New subcategories have been added to make it easier to find relevant information.
- Sponsored webcasts are now hosted on the site, where webcast presentations will be featured in real-time and archived for reader access.
- Sponsored white papers are now hosted on the site, where technology and service providers can describe micro and nanotech innovations in greater detail.
- The financial section of the site has been expanded to include a larger list of companies involved in micro and nanotechnology.
- Micro sites are now available, such as the NanoCon Newswire, which is exclusively devoted to covering NanoCon International.
- And much more!
At the same time, popular features like the Small Tech World in Brief and the Small Tech Newswire remain on the site, as do the most popular category areas for readers interested in micro and nanotech’s intersection with biotech, finance, energy and other related fields.
