The application, which can be accessed at http://apps.facebook.com/coinjars and at its Facebook Page http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=6489937223&ref=s is a wallet application built on the iCoins platform, which includes a fully secured and licensed eMoney issuer.

Transferring of funds from one party to another on the Internet has to date required both parties to have wallets within the same system (such as Paypal). In the traditional banking world solutions such as IBAN – an international banking account number standard – provides a solution but is limited in that it only works between bank accounts. Moreover, transfers using IBAN (or SWIFT) are only credited once the actual funds are received by the receiving bank. This delay is inappropriate in today’s connected world. Other money transfer services such as Western Union and Moneygram provide international non-banking transfers. While these systems have proven to be useful in the offline world, these have not proven to be as useful in the ever growing online world.

Gibraltar-based iCoins aims to change all this with its system that provides the transfer mechanisms of SWIFT and IBAN, with real time execution, integrated within existing players in the online eWallet space. Facebook users can now enjoy the same security and freedom of cash movement through the CoinJars application.

Extending Coinars to provide a simple cash collection mechanism for small merchants on Facebook is a logical extension and is already in the works, according to iCoins CEO Adriaan Brink.

“We are extremely proud of CoinJars. It provides a showcase for our core iCoins secure digital cash technology. By providing the ability, through the CoinJars application,to transfer iCoins quickly, safely and easily between Facebook users and also to and from any places outside the Facebook system that support iCoins, the exciting potential of iCoins becomes apparent. These external places include merchants and also Payment Providers which facilitate the purchase and redemption of iCoins. We’re very optimistic that iCoins, through integrated eWallets such as CoinJars, will revolutionize the way we pay online.” Brink emphasized.

The CEO also underscored the fact that the user’s money (while in iCoin format) is all underwritten by a licensed eMoney operation (a “Treasury” in iCoins-speak). The Treasury for CoinJars is Mintflow Limited in the Isle of Man.

“The purpose of this mechanism is not to replace the credit card and other payment methods such as Paypal in normal merchant payments, but to facilitate payments that would normally be too expensive (small payments or between distant places) and to facilitate payments between disparate systems,” Brink said.

With the presence of iCoins and integrated eWallets such as CoinJars, people all over the world are given more viable, cost-efficient choices in dealing with online payments and money transfers.

Developers wishing to integrate with the iCoins digital money platform are advised to visit www.icoins.com for more information. iCoins is actively pursuing integrations with as wide a variety of payment platforms as possible.

In fact, they stick to their beliefs so much that they don’t mind if they had to turn down large volumes of orders from conservative political groups.

“I don’t mind printing stickers that we have no opinion on – but when I strongly disagree with an opinion we won’t print it. We don’t want to be that mercenary. We may loose work that way, but at least we can sleep at night,” said owner Keith Bolan.

HumperBumper (www.humperbumper.com), which describes itself as a “small business which stands up for what they believe in,” is infamous for slogans like “Are You Sure You’re A Patriot? Cuz Saudi Arabia Loves Your Gas Guzzler” and “I support our troops – not the idiot who sent them there!” that convey liberal views.

While the slogans may not appeal to everyone, the joy of being able to run a business that highlights their patriotism is enough compensation, asserts Bolan.

“Occasionally you get hardline conservatives who take exception to you criticizing the Presidency of our country,” he said.

“However, I feel that America is built on the founding philosophy of Free Speech. To protest when you see the country you love being lead astray is the greatest form of patriotism. To criticize and try to stop someone exercising their right of free speech is directly in opposition of that which America is founded upon. The only non-patriot is the one trying to silence your free speech,” underscored Bolan.

The stickers fall under the following categories: peace/anti war, political, social commentary, funny, environmental, naughty, gay and lesbian, vegetarian/vegan, pagan/wiccan, pop culture and others. Among the bestsellers are “’Bring it on’ is not a foreign policy”, “Support our troops – impeach Bush,” “There’s nothing dumber than a Hummer,” and the witty “Dogs Come When Called, Cats Take A Message.”

The bumper stickers’ prices average from $2.99, and magnetic stickers from $4.25. They are all made to last. HumperBumper products do not fade, crack or peel. The secret to this is special and dedicated in-house printing – meaning there’s no third party. HumperBumper prints the products themselves and that spells high quality control.

HumperBumper also offers custom design creation. Such is ideal for businesses, clubs, and other types of groups. HumperBumper can design personalized stickers and these may be used for various purposes – from being parts of marketing collateral to fundraising activities. Attractive wholesale prices are offered, thereby giving interested parties the chance to raise lucrative profits without having to buy vast quantities.

An attractive affiliate program is also on hand. Associates can earn an easy 20 percent off each and every sale. Interested business associates can proceed to the website and access the affiliate program page.

(Singapore April 23, 2008) – Singapore-based executives and top companies are now given a reliable, efficient platform to communicate with each other and find ways to be able to work together through Headhunt, a free Executive Recruitment Newspaper in Singapore. Headhunt is made only for professionals who are in search of the right organization that can provide and lead them to a career they deserve.

This free recruitment newspaper is a reliable source for opportunities that are organized according to different industries. The scope of Headhunt covers opportunities in the field of Accounting, Banking and Finance, Financial Services, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Human Resources, IT, Telecommunication, Legal and Logistics Industries. Though these industries have been in existence for the longest time, their activities and needs are dynamic; thus, there is often a need for new talented and skilled individuals that will be able to cope up with its changes.

The market that Headhunt targets is mostly middle level executives whose earnings belong to the $50,000 to $250,000 income bracket. These individuals are usually those who seek better opportunities and choose to move forward albeit doing very well in their chosen organizations. Headhunt provides these Singapore-based executives very up-to-date, and relevant opportunities that will not only widen their options but also answer their needs in seeking career-related advice. Headhunt also helps strengthen their confidence and help bring their skills and talents to a higher level by informing them of advance education opportunities as well.

Headhunt, which does not only target qualified applicants but quality applicants as well, releases a new edition full of new opportunities on a fortnightly basis. Headhunt can be found at accessible areas to ensure that executives, managers and professionals do not miss these given opportunities. You can find the Headhunt newspaper at Singapore’s CBD areas such as Raffles Place, Tanjong Pagar and at selected MRT stations (Orchard, Bugis, Novena, Tampines, Dhoby Ghaut). You can also get your copies at Denise The Wine Shop, Fitness First, O’Briens and Planet Fitness Outlets.

Headhunt does not only cater to those who are in search of job opportunities. It is also an aid for Human Resource Departments to make their needs known. The difference from publishing job openings at a regular recruitment paper from Headhunt is that it already pre-screens applicants as it is distributed to a niche and captive audience. It saves you ample time and resources from having to read hundreds of curriculum vitae just to find out that more than half of your applicants are not fit for the job. Headhunt provides a cost effective platform for companies to target hard to reach executives. Headhunt offers advertising rates and packages that are very competitive as compared to the other print media available in Singapore. Instead of a mass market media platform and paying for an audience you do not want to reach, companies would be better off using a targeted media platform that effectively reaches its audience.

Hiring companies can also use Headhunt as an ideal branding platform. Companies can position themselves further as preferred employers through the newspaper and the increase in recruitment activity would act as signaling effect that the company is growing from strength to strength.

With Headhunt, the type of advertisers is also actively screened to maintain the integrity of the publication, ensuring that the content remains relevant to the target audience. This exclusivity ensures that the quality of ads is maintained and thus retaining the interest of readers. Advertising with Headhunt is also very easy to do. Media bookings can be made 7 days before publication date and the submission of digital artwork is 5 days before publication date. Being a fortnightly publication with a short submission time line, this would surely ensure that the jobs ads are still relevant when it is published.
