TagWorld Unveils Innovative Service to Support Users' Migration to the ''Social Web''; New Company Elevates Social Networking to an Integrated Online Social Experience

Posted on: Monday, 7 November 2005, 09:00 CST

TagWorld (www.tagworld.com), an integrated online social ecosystem, was formally unveiled today. By combining the broadest set of easy-to-use, drag-and-drop services, TagWorld provides an all-in-one web destination where users can organize and present their personalized online content via customized websites or blogs, which can include photo albums, music, video, personal files, user profile information and more. The company was created from the ground-up to help novice and power users alike leverage the full potential of the web for creative, collaborative, and dynamic social interaction. As the Internet's influence evolves, a new social phase is emerging that enables people to collect, store, share and access a broad range of personal content that they wish to place on the web. TagWorld aims to empower and connect people of all ages and interests toward building a ubiquitous social web.

Spanning multiple product categories, TagWorld's services include highly customizable, page-building, blogging, file storage, photo sharing, and tagging -- most of which are only available elsewhere as separate, non-integrated services. At last, users will not have to manage multiple accounts on multiple sites in order to connect with their friends, create compelling web pages, store and use files online, organize their bookmarks, tag content or interact with the community. Equally important, friends and family no longer have to visit separate websites and sign on with the appropriate login names and passwords in order to view one's content (photos, blogs, bookmarks), which was expressly placed online to share with others. TagWorld brings these all together.

"Today's internet user wants the ability to exchange and use information easily between the applications they use. Our goal is to give people a core set of services, in one place, to simplify their ability to organize, express or present their content. TagWorld has moved beyond the basic offerings of first-generation social networks with a truly integrated platform that presents a more engaging experience for users and their friends and family," stated TagWorld's founder and CEO, Fred Krueger. "TagWorld is about helping build the social web and enabling people to engage, create, and share in a more personalized and meaningful manner."

TagWorld has introduced a new standard for social networking and content creation on the web with its unified navigation, drag-and-drop modules and tagging capabilities. A new and powerful concept, tags are an intuitive way for people to label their content and provide a focal point that is readily searchable for themselves or the community at large. TagWorld's extensive modules let users customize their website or blog instantly. For example, users can incorporate one of several photo modules, a guestbook module, a blog module, or a media player module to stream their videos all on one's website.

TagWorld's key features include:

-- Drag-and-drop, page-building tools, that do not require any special download or software, that let users design, change and see their creations immediately

-- Integrated tag support with the ability to tag photos, files, websites, and people. While tag support is currently found in some social bookmarking and photo-sharing systems, in TagWorld -- tagging is embedded in every aspect of the site.

-- Extensive photo storing and sharing capabilities including sorting, tagging, and customizable online viewing, without the need for a separate stand-alone photo application

-- Seamless integration between photo-sharing, blogging and social bookmarking

-- 1 gigabyte of free storage, with the ability to upload and stream video and audio

-- AJAX-driven services. TagWorld's services use AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML) technology, which significantly improves a user's experience with faster, richer web-based interactions and presentations. Without AJAX, conventional websites must engage in cumbersome and constant "page refreshes" that slow-down or interrupt a user's experience.

TagWorld is committed to providing users with integrated, easy-to-use services that provide a more satisfying social experience while letting users customize and control their personal content. Users can sign up immediately for a free account by visiting www.tagworld.com.
