Now let's dance!!! Press release below:

Sacramento, Calif. Jan. 31, 2012 — On Jan. 30, SXSW (South by Southwest) Interactive announced that Sacramento-based Macer Media was selected as an Accelerator finalist in the News Related Technologies category. According to SXSW, more than 670 companies nationwide submitted their innovation to the Accelerator competition. Macer Media was one of eight finalists nationwide and one of two from California selected to present their innovation, AdGlue, at the fourth annual SXSW Accelerator held in Austin, Texas. The SXSW Interactive conference is known as one of the most prestigious incubator of cutting-edge technologies.

Only the brightest minds in emerging technology receive the honor of presenting their ideas and products to the top venture capitalists in the world. Companies such as Twitter and Foursquare leveraged the power of SXSW to grow to where they are today; accelerator winners like Siri have become household names.

Macer Media will showcase a compelling and innovative presentation of AdGlue at SXSW Accelerator for a chance to win the competition. As passionately described by Macer Media representatives, AdGlue is a revolutionary advertising platform that allows advertisers to instantly glue, or place their advertisements directly next to the content they choose. It is an elegant and simple solution that will change the way businesses buy online advertising. Unlike any solution before it, AdGlue engages advertisers.

Ben Ilfeld, co-founder and chief operating officer of Macer Media, the company behind The Sacramento Press, Agency M and the Sacramento Local Online Advertising Network, expressed his thoughts on AdGlue’s selection as an Accelerator finalist: "When I heard the news, I was floored. The entire AdGlue team deserves a ton of credit, and we appreciate this incredible opportunity."

He added: "AdGlue addresses a critical problem for both advertisers and publishers. The concept is so simple and intuitive that I think people will wonder why online advertising hasn't always worked like this."

The fourth annual SXSW Accelerator will take place March 12 - 14 at the 2012 SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas. A live audience as well as a panel of expert judges will be discovering advancements in social media, mobile applications, web entertainment and more. Innovators will battle for taste-making, trend-setting attention, leading to a fireworks display of innovation.
