i-Sho is primarily designed for consumers, small business users and educational establishments. Our vision is to provide these users with a simple way to store, find and share any kind of digital file. We would like to keep the consumer software version free and finance the business by partnering with selected companies to provide media rich content that will supplement the user generated content through sponsored channels.
We also welcome proposals from companies that will encourage users to attach hyperlinks to content that will take their friends to your site; music, shopping, photo printing and social networks are the obvious initial candidates.
1 AdSho Click through. An AdSho is a banner ad of a specific size which links through to a specific url. The Adsho is displayed in the i–Sho search results. Commercial partners bid for keywords that will trigger the Adsho. When a user clicks on the banner i-Sho can choose to deliver either a ‘Branded Channel’ or have a specific url open on the users desktop.
2 User initiated Hyperlink. Users add their own content to their own channels, this content can be linked to specific urls of their own choosing. An example might be a Four Wheel Drive Car Club who have a shared Hub Channel with pictures of their cars at various events. Users will place hyperlinks on the pictures to venue’s, spare parts manufacturers, map directions, and Ebay for sale listings. We encourage i-Sho users to hyperlink to your site in return for a share of the click through commission.

A Branded Channel is a special content channel which can be viewed by every i-Sho user. An example might be a Big Brother Channel. This type of programming lends itself well to a ‘diary’ style timeline. Subscribers to the channel are delivered ‘content’ on a daily basis. ‘Content’ can be pictorial highlights with text. Pictures can link to streamed video and other merchandising. Channel partners can decide which content is paid for and allow everyone to ‘see’ the content in the channel but not to actually download or view it unless they have subscribed or paid on a pay per view basis.

i-Sho lends itself to many cross platform content distribution scenarios, be it video. graphics or any other digital media that benefits from a diary or timeline style delivery platform. The GUI is particularly suitable for media rich PDA’s, Smart Phone or tablet style screens and the multimedia/timeline approach works particularly well in touch-screen interactions, it also works well for EPG’s and as a content archive distribution platform.
