Description: Autobytel.com inc., the premier Internet car-buying service, was named Internet Company of the Year by the Software Council of Southern California. At an awards ceremony held October 15th, Mark Lorimer, President and CEO of Autobytel.com, accepted the Internet Company of the Year award, using the opportunity to comment on the importance of developing cohesion among Southern California's technology industries. "It's time Southern California's technology executives acknowledge the innovative developers and thinkers that exist in their backyard. Southern California is a hot-bed of technology development and houses some of the greatest Internet success stories, including Geocities, Earthlink and Realtor.com," said Lorimer. "It is also home to great thinkers and authors, like USC's Dr. Jon Goodman, who are making cutting edge observations about the new economy, e-commerce and business-to-business applications." In short, Lorimer challenged high-tech Southern California businesses to illustrate the kind of cohesion that the technology industries in Silicon Valley and Silicon Alley have shown. Winning this award also gave Lorimer the opportunity to commend the employees at Autobytel.com. Said Lorimer: "We are proud of the uniqueness of the work environment at Autobytel.com and realize that creating a positive corporate culture is a key element to ensuring a company's future. Without the strength of our employees, Autobytel.com would not be at the forefront of this industry." The award was based on various categories of excellence, including innovative product, creative marketing, sales/revenue growth, team building, and job creation in Southern California.
