Press Release

San Francisco, CA – March 18, 2009 -- Novedge LLC, the leading online CAD/CAM store, today announced the release of RhinoJungle, a new online community dedicated to Rhino users.
 
RhinoJungle (www.rhinojungle.com) is an open and free community that hosts discussions, blog posts, videos, images, and tutorials and is especially built for all users and fans of Robert McNeel & Associates products. RhinoJungle provides an ideal environment to improve users’ knowledge and skills while building a valuable network of personal relationships with qualified professionals. "After an early release amongst friends and bloggers of Novedge's news source Pulse, reactions were very positive and the amount of members doubled in a few days. Now with this public release, we expect a huge growth of the RhinoJungle," says Franco Folini, President of Novedge and member of RhinoJungle. Kimberly Trompeter, Marketing Manager at ASGvis, is also a member and very positive about RhinoJungle. "This community is a great way for us to get in close contact with our users and to promote our rendering plug-in, V-Ray for Rhino, which is one of the many complementary products for Rhinoceros 4.0," says Trompeter.
 
RhinoJungle is part of a whole social media campaign by Novedge, also involving Twitter and Facebook, which gives Novedge the opportunity to communicate openly with its customers and to offer excellent after-sales service. "Social media and online social networks are becoming more and more important when it comes to interacting with customers and increasing the online presence of Novedge. The internet of today offers great possibilities to meet people, but unfortunately it is also easy to get lost in the huge amount of information when looking for a place to buy online graphics and design software. That is why we are exploring several channels to get in contact with people and to increase our presence on the internet," says Folini. With its own Facebook and Twitter page, Novedge anticipates the social media trend.
