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.

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."

ABOUT PRINGO.COM

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.
