LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - June 6, 2007) - Pringo.com, an emerging social networking
company, today announced their partnership with Pixsy, a media search
platform that powers private label image and video search engines. The
partnership will add features to Pringo's existing comprehensive library of
social networking tools, enabling clients to use Pixsy's API to add video
and image search capabilities to dramatically enhance their websites into
dynamic communities that actively engage audiences.
"We are extremely excited to be working with Pixsy and feel that through
this partnership, Pringo Networks will be able to provide even more
incredible options for our clients. Pixsy's impressive image and video
search technology will undoubtedly be a popular feature for up-and-coming
social networks," states Pringo.com President Gary Hall.
The direction of Web 2.0 is pointing more and more towards social networks
for organizations and brands that are looking to expand their marketing
plan to include an online presence. Moving beyond the static sites of
yesterday, companies are able to use viral marketing and user involvement
to their advantage, ultimately increasing page views and advertising
impressions. Pringo's extensive suite of features offers companies the
opportunity to design a social network where users can share media,
communicate, and connect with others of similar interests or experiences.
The combination of Pringo's comprehensive feature sets and extremely fast
turn-around time results in an optimal experience for both companies that
would like to add to existing sites as well as those venturing into the
online space for the first time and looking to add a social networking
component to their site.
"The meteoric rise in social networks presents a tremendous opportunity for
us to offer our search technology and extensive media index to the Pringo
network," said Chase Norlin, Pixsy CEO. "Our partnership with Pringo is
significant toward broadening our reach to this key audience."
Pixsy is a media search platform that powers photo and video search engines
for any site on the Internet. It aggregates content in the form of photo
and video thumbnails, organizes the images using proprietary technology at
Pixsy.com, and then distributes those thumbnails via media search. The
index delivers the most current search results to its users.
ABOUT PRINGO.COM
Pringo.com was created in 2002 when two visionaries saw the potential of
the Internet to be a gathering place for individuals around the world to
communicate and share common interests. After collecting thousands of
domain names and building each site from scratch, Harvard Young and Nouriel
Yazdinian's idea was to create a scalable and fully extendable platform
that would allow new features to be added on without interrupting existing
website functions. Pringo currently has over 400 features and is
continually adding new ones, all of which can be added to current or new
websites and be in the market place in just weeks time. The Pringo
philosophy centers on a unique vision and innovative technology that
utilizes the best software to help clients penetrate their particular
market and stay current with the fast-moving pace of the Internet. For
