ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com Introduces 'EGD Recommends'
Romeoville, IL (ContentDesk) April 11, 2006 -- It's hard to get an honest, straight-forward recommendation anymore - especially when it comes to generators.Most generator dealers are loyal to the single brand on their shelves, according to Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com -- an online generator superstore (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com)."Guess what? The Yamaha dealer is going to recommend Yamaha.
The Mitsubishi dealer is going to recommend Mitsubishi.
Surprise!" jokes Hoch.So, how do you truly know how each model stacks up?ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com just launched "EGD Recommends" to help shoppers compare the top generator brands in 7 different categories:1. Tiny Recreational Generators2. Small Recreational Generators3.
Mid-Sized Emergency Generators4. Large Emergency Generators5. X-Large Emergency Generators6. Home Standby Generators7. Residential/Commercial Standby GeneratorThe recommendations are more than simply ranking generators into small, medium and large.
Everyone already does that, says Hoch.In addition, they're not just a list of best sellers.
Just because it's a best seller doesn't give it "Best-in-Class" status.The e-tailer combined the last two years of sales history, dozens of customer reviews and some personal insight to generate their final rankings."Weve been selling generators online since 2002. We know what's great. We know what's junk. And best of all, we're not afraid to say so," says Hoch.Once the dust and data settled, only 21 of 124 generators sold by ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com were given the prestigious "EGD Recommends" status.
The recommended generators can be seen at http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/recommends.php.In addition, Hoch personally wrote online reviews for each generator, explaining why the company recommended it.By providing the recommendations and reviews, ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com hopes to arm shoppers with enough ammunition to pick the perfect generator for their needs. Were loyal to our customers -- not our suppliers, says Hoch. Our intention is to make the shopping experience as simple as possible.

Demand for Generators Set to Rocket as UK Power Crisis Looms
(ContentDesk) November 18, 2005 -- Natalie Chew, of Generators Express (http://www.generatorsexpress.co.uk), believes that demand for generators will rocket as households and businesses in the UK ready themselves for what could be a winter of power cuts. There is increasing concern that Britains natural gas reserves will run dangerously low in the event of a cold winter. This would force the government to shut down gas-burning power stations in order to maintain uninterrupted gas supplies to households. Around 40% of the UKs electricity is generated by gas power stations and shutting them down would lead to prolonged periods or power cuts across much of the country. Furthermore, several indicators suggest that this winter could be particularly severe.Households and small businesses are turning to generators as emergency power backup solutions.
These days it is almost impossible to function without electricity...

Touchstone Technologies Announces New "Lite" Series of Their Award-Winning VoIP Testing Suite
Touchstone Technologies Inc. has announced new lite versions of their award-winning voice and video over IP call generation and monitoring solutions.
Designed to accommodate smaller projects that need to simulate or monitor 1 to 50 concurrent VoIP endpoints, they are the ideal solutions for generating and analyzing high-quality SIP or H.323 calls with audio and video streams.
These products offer many of the features found in test equipment costing 10 to 100 times more.Neil Urban, President of Touchstone said, "We have offered this line in response to a growing number of requests for test equipment from people who simply do not need, or cannot afford tools that generate or monitor hundreds or thousands of calls.
Test equipment vendors have traditionally ignored this sector, which forces them to look to open-source projects with very limited features or to develop "home-grown" solutions.
Unfortunately, these approaches tend to remove the objectivity provided...

Standby Power: How to Pick the Perfect Standby Generator
The California Energy Crisis. The Ice Storm of 2001. The Great Northeast Blackout. Hurricanes Isabel, Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jean. Just a few years ago, the thought of owning a standby generator seemed preposterous.
Now, living without electricity is all too common. "You shouldn't be worrying about how often the power goes down," says Jon Hoch, Founder of Electric Generators Direct.com(http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com), an online emergency generator superstore. "Instead, you should be worrying about what happens when the power goes out." Without electricity, basements can flood. Security systems can falter. Businesses can fail.
Just one power outage can result in thousands of dollars of damage, warns Hoch. Standby Generators Many homeowners and businesses simply cannot afford to ride out another power outage. Instead, they are installing standby generators in record numbers to protect their...

Who Needs a Standby Generator?
Most of us take electricity for granted.
When we flip the light switch, we expect the light to turn on.
When we plug in the electric grill, we expect it to be ready before the neighbors arrive for the backyard cookout.
If there's a power outage, everyone immediately calls the electric company to complain and ask how long they'll have to wait before the electricity comes back on.
But what happens when the electricity goes out for days at a time, like when a hurricane or other natural disaster destroys the power lines?
Or what happens in a place like a hospital, where even a short power outage could cause the failure of a life-sustaining respirator or a doctor's operating tools, resulting in the death of a patient?
What about the thousands of food manufacturers, grocery stores, and restaurants, which might have to throw away thousands of dollars worth of refrigerated food every time the electricity goes out for a short time?
