Kiwibox.com Launches the U.S. Version of Pixunity.com, a Photo Blogging Community

NEW YORK, June 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- KIWIBOX.COM, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: KIWB.OB) –Kiwibox.com, a New York City based social network, proudly announces the unveiling of the U.S. version of photo blogging community Pixunity, a division of Kiwibox.com. Pixunity, already established in the European market, was purchased by Kiwibox.com in the first quarter of 2011. The now translated, exciting and internationally focused photo blog website is set to enter the domestic U.S. market and take social networking by storm; with an array of creative templates and designs users can easily bind memories through photo books to share with friends, family and the online community.

Themed templates allow users to capture the essence of their favorite vacation, holiday or priceless moments from everyday lifestyles and turn photo-sharing into a showcase of life's fondest memories. With themes for every occasion, Pixunity's breadth and depth of offerings lets users stretch their creativity and make photographic masterpieces. Enhancing interactivity of the photo blog, Pixunity offers digital scrapbooking features such as additional images, borders, text options and backgrounds which customize the photo blog to match the sentiment and brilliance in the pictures each photo book holds.

The global photo sharing community continues to rapidly grow, and as mobile applications such as Pixable and Instagram continue to provide a variety of graphic options for which to take photos, Pixunity stands to benefit from their photo brilliance with a platform to house and enhance what today is considered standard digital photography. As printed photography is displaced more and more by digital prints (to the tune of a 250% annual growth rate in this market), digital cameras and technologies have reached a foothold in 81 percent of U.S. households (camera sales grew 10.4 percent to reach 121.4 million units for 2010). Consumers in the United States created approximately 13.9 billion digital prints in 2010, and an expected, greater growth in 2011 plays directly into Pixunity's core capabilities which will provide the digital community with a high definition photo blogging experience.

Kiwibox.com believes in the future of photo book communities, and will therefore build off of the successful launch of Pixunity's U.S. version with future enhancements. Kiwibox continues to showcase its bevy of offerings as both ground breaking and highly interactive, providing its growing user base digital channels to explore, connect and party, not available to social media networks before.

As the global photo community continues to expand, the success of photo blogging with Pixunity will have both a positive technical and behavioral impact on the Kiwibox.com network.
