This summer, eZanga is the proud sponsor of the Middletown-Odessa-Townsend (M.O.T) major league all-star team, as it tries to punch its ticket to the Little League World Series.

The team is currently battling in the Delaware District I tournament and is a win away from advancing to the three-team state tournament, which will begin Saturday night at Camden-Wyoming Little League Park.

You can view a picture of the all-star squad with eZanga owners Rich and Beth Kahn at HopOnThis.com’s eZanga gallery here. Good luck to the M.O.T. all-stars!!

Many are familiar with our 3 laws: Work Hard, Play Hard, and Eat Hard. However, not many understand these laws. Eat Hard, like the other laws, we take seriously. Everything from trying new stuff to grabbing food while the getting is good.

I thought it would be nice to share some videos from inside our offices in order to help you more fully understand our law of “Eat Hard”.

Let’s start with this video of Anthony being the only brave soul to eat a Chocolate Covered Grass Hopper:

And here is one of a mysterious cookie thief:

eZanga.com recently returned home from a successful trade show trip to AdTech San Francisco. AdTech was held at the Moscone Center West on April 21-23rd. Hopefully you had a chance to stop by and say Hi!

We also gave away a Nintendo®Wii™ for our business card raffle. Congratulations are in order for John from TinBu! Lucky for him he was walking by just as we drew his name.

Like always, it was a great networking event where we were able to establish new contacts, while having a fun time doing so! You can see all of our pictures from the trade show HERE!

eZanga CEO, Rich Kahn had an exclusive interview with OBSNews reporter, Patrick McGilvray, at this past SMX trade show in Santa Clara, California.  Rich discussed eZanga’s fully managed ad campaigns which allow our advertisers to focus on their customers rather than the details of online advertising.  Rich also touched on our Metasearch engine that has the ability to aggregate search results from nine unique content sources and then display those results without overlap or duplication. Of course, our recently launched social network, HopOnThis, was also mentioned because we love giving away cash and prizes! To see the complete interview check out the video below: 

After an awesome and eventful trade show trip, we are finally back!

It feels good to be home. The trade show had an amazing turn out, as usual. We gave away our Nintendo® Wii™ in our business card raffle. It took us FIVE drawings before we found our winner!  We would like to congratulate Sara Mahmoodi from Baytech Interactive Web Solutions! Hope you enjoy your Wii. Better luck next time to everyone who entered. Make sure you’re present during the business card drawing to claim your prize!

On February 10th, CEO Rich Kahn gave a presentation on, “Using SEM to survive in today’s economy.” Rich gave a very thoughtful and informative presentation that struck home to all the viewers.
