From Real-Time Online News To Podcasting and Aero-TV, ANN Has
Set THE Standard, EVERY DAY
Call it 'Mission (Continuously)
Accomplished' as ANN completes its first 10 Years of
non-stop online Aero-Info. That's right, the Aero-News Network is
about to start celebrating its first 10 years of providing the
aviation community with uninterrupted online news 24 hours every
day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. During the past decade,
ANN has continually been at the forefront of the delivery of
Real-Time aviation news online, adding audio podcasts and daily
video from wherever aviation news is happening.
ANN has produced over 130,000 individual stories for publication
online, EVERY DAY, since it's Real-Time inception in 1999 (though
aspects of the ANN mission were online as early as 1993 -- when
working with the nascent web structure was a real adventure). As
technology developed, ANN stayed on the cutting edge of online news
delivery.
ANN At Work... And Play
The first serious adopters of multi-media content in aviation
news, nearly 3,400 audio features have been made available for
download since podcasts were added in 2004. And with the advent of
Aero-TV in 2007, ANN has already produced nearly 600 video
features. It is a record without equal ANYWHERE in the aviation
industry, and most other industries, for that matter. Others do try
to copy it... but no one has equaled the record in terms of
capability, quantity, quality or (most importantly) our passionate
comittment to the welfare of the aviation world.
Aero-TV Has Upgraded The ANN Revolution
Dramatically
ANN has brought the aviation world unmatched coverage of the
industry's biggest events. We were the first to bring you daily,
continuous coverage of AirVenture in Oshkosh and so many more
events, while our reporters, editors, and video crews consistently
bring you the best in-depth coverage of the annual NBAA Meeting and
Convention, AEA Convention, ICAS Convention, and the AOPA
Aviation Summit, as well as other premier aviation events across
the country.
ANN's Jim Campbell -- Working in
Zero-Gravity
As technology has continued to evolve, ANN has kept up with
innovations in content delivery. We were the first to use Twitter
and other social media technologies to bring you breaking news. And
ANN will continue to innovate to bring you the best possible
coverage of the aviation industry, from ultralights and LSA's to
the latest innovations in business jets, commercial airliners, and
aerospace.
ANN's Paul Plack -- Ready To
Fly
A new site design is in the works and strategic alliances are
being formed that will DRAMATICALLY expand upon and further
solidify ANN's position as the industry leader in online aviation
news delivery.
ANN's Tom Patton -- Working An
Interview
But... as we come to this milestone and what it means to those
of us at ANN HQ, we'd like to invite YOU to
tell us about your experiences with ANN... what you
like, what you don't, and what you want to see for the future... as
well as any stories you might have about interacting with ANN or
the information we have presented over the last 3650++ days.
ANN's Sarah Curtiss -- Heading For
Serious Heights
We'd appreciate it if you'd send us your comments ASAP for
