Dot
VN, Inc. Announces Completion of Redesigned INFO.VN English Site
and
Begins
Beta Test of Online Business Directory
SAN DIEGO
– December 20, 2010 – Dot VN, Inc. (www.DotVN.com) (OTC
Trading Symbol: DTVI) an innovative Internet and Telecommunications Company and
the exclusive online global domain name registrar for the Country of Vietnam,
announced today that it has completed a redesign of the English section of en.www.INFO.VN, a
website intended to be the ultimate Internet portal that will aggregate and
organize everything that the Vietnamese Internet has to offer. The
goal of the INFO.VN English site is to create a simple and user friendly way for
Non-Vietnamese speaking users to access the latest news, entertainment and
information on Vietnam in one central and easy to navigate
website. Additionally, any unregistered .vn domain name (e.g. www.randomdomain.vn,
www.anydomain.vn)
that is accessed outside Vietnam will automatically be directed to the new
INFO.VN English page.
“Our
approach in the redesign was to create a cleaner, refined and more streamlined
look to the English page. We believe that the new page surpasses all
of those criteria and will make using INFO.VN more enjoyable and intuitive for
our users,” said Dot VN CEO Thomas Johnson.
Dot VN
has also completed development of an online business directory and is now moving
into the beta testing phase. The online business directory, available
at: http://en.www.INFO.VN/directory.html,
allows users both in Vietnam and internationally to find leading companies,
products and service providers in Vietnam. Each listing provides a
summary of the featured company, contact information, user reviews, photos and
more. In order to spur rapid adoption, Dot VN will offers the basic
listing service to companies and service providers for free and plans to offer
premium services in the coming year which will include premium listings, online
coupons, e-commerce functionality and online booking.
“We
strongly believe that our online directory will become the top resource for
guiding consumer behavior,” said Johnson. “Our online business
directory will allow users to better compare products and services and provide
feedback to other potential customers, which allows them to get the most value
for their money. For our corporate clients we offer greater
visibility and customer access and in the near future we will be able to offer
them a completely new way to market themselves to clients both in Vietnam and
Worldwide.”
