Team Lightning enters agreement to resell YouSpeak.net audio links.

TAMPA, Fla. -- April 03, 2003 -- Team Lightning, announces it has entered a definitive agreement with YouSpeak Network to resell YouSpeaks hosted audio links solution.

TAMPA, Fla. -- Team Lightning, an IT solutions provider, established in 1992, has entered into a definitive agreement with YouSpeak Network, to resell YouSpeaks hosted audio links solution. Team Lightning is the co-developer of the YouSpeak.net solution. Working in conjunction with YouSpeak and Bledsoe Media Group, these companies have created a solution that gives customers the ability to quickly and easily record full-length audio messages by calling-in, toll-free, from any telephone. Those voice messages are then instantly converted into audio links, which are then immediately available for playback from any website, e-mail, or any e-communications tool. Corporate intranets have also found this tool effective in broadcast applications, so as not to interfere with their voice mail systems. This concept is designed individuals and companies whose web communications would benefit from the power of voice. The enthusiasm, urgency, and inflection, inherit in personal voice communications, has been proven to have a very powerful effect on recall and response.

One of the main features of the YouSpeak application, is its ease-of-use; in most cases two or three steps to activate the audio links. This is a cost-effective hosted service, currently priced in blocks (2, 10, 50, and 100 audio links) with no current restrictions on usage/bandwidth/web access or number of message playbacks. As an example: 2 audio links are hosted for $7 a month, they have unlimited re-recording and unlimited playback from websites or e-mail communications.

A client we're having fun with is our local Little League. They are using the links on their website to announce field conditions as affected by weather" says David Frank, CEO of Lightning Technology Group, Inc. One quick call updates the link, notifying families of postponements and rescheduling information" This replaces the old method of a recorded message, on an answering machine, only accessible by one person at a time. In addition, they have used the audio links for coaching tips of the week, and for recording information on Sponsor-of-the-Month". An added benefit to their site is an increase in web traffic since adding the audio links for the Little League.

Team Lightning was established in 1992 to meet the growing need for IT services in Florida. Lightning provides a host of services: Network design, implementation, on-going support, product sales and web design; web application development and hosting.
