(“Ideation” or the “Company”) (NYSE Amex: IDI, IDI.U, IDI.WS) today announced that its special meeting of stockholders to approve a business combination with SearchMedia International Limited (“SearchMedia”) will be held on October 26, 2009 at 8:30 am Eastern Time at the offices of Akerman Senterfitt, at One S.E.
