short, easy-to-consume formats featuring the hottest celebrity news,
fashion "hits and misses," exclusive reports, breaking news as
it happens, and special events coverage.

May, vice president of content and value added services for Synacor.
"We are pleased to be able to offer our service provider partners a
unique package of premium online content and solutions that satisfy
consumer's demands for digital entertainment."
