Venda, Inc., the leading global provider of on-demand eCommerce solutions, today announced that DoItYourself.com has selected Venda's on-demand eCommerce platform to expand the capabilities and features available on DoItYourself.com's widely popular home improvement and repair content and commerce site.

DoItYourself.com, dedicated to empowering users to take on home improvement projects themselves, receives more than 2 million unique visitors per month and was recently named one of the Best 50 Internet sites by Time Magazine. The site features a huge database of 'how-to' content, community forums moderated by home improvement experts, detailed project information and products for sale. DoItYourself.com has the Internet's largest hardware warehouse with over 100,000 products.

Venda's flexible eCommerce platform and sophisticated search technology will provide DoItYourself.com with a natural language search engine combined with all the elements required for a best-in-class eCommerce site," said Jeffrey Max, CEO of Venda, Inc. "These capabilities are a small example of the many reasons global retailers and manufacturers continue to depend on Venda. We are excited to see the number of U.S. retailers adopting the Venda platform grow at such a rapid pace."

If fair use [of digital media] continues to be a gray area," says Greg Wilfahrt, co-founder and executive vice president of SMS.ac, "then the mobile phone content space will become wholly litigious."

So Wilfahrt and co-founder Michael Pousti expect to be spending more time on Capitol Hill as their closely held San Diego-based company, SMS.ac, grows. Its users can opt-in for content according to interests: dating, travel, fashion, faith, music, entertainment, news, health, sports, games, shopping. Users post pictures with online profiles on the Web site and search the SMS.ac database for friends. Just how wide is the selection? A Romanian-based club for fans of rapper Vanilla Ice, who recently performed on NBC's television show Hit Me Baby One More Time, counts 18,000 members.
