Do You Remember Launches Interactive Nostalgia Platform

NEW YORK, May 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Do You Remember (DYR), the first nostalgia-based interactive network for embracing retro style, trends, and cultures is proud to announce today the launch of its live website. Do You Remember is a portal for users to socialize and collaborate with others in sharing their passion for all things from the past. Its features allow individuals to generate and organize memories on the web with family, friends, and those who share similar interests.

Do You Remember's user-generated content and social integration provides an outlet that not only embraces the past, but also evokes new memories and passions. The concept of social sharing allows users to post their own memories in topics that range from the distant past to current times with categories ranging from music, technology, fashion, and automobiles. With each vintage image, users can begin or join a virtual conversation surrounding the past and very specific items, songs or events. Popular social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook are connected to Do You Remember so that each user can distribute nostalgic memories with their friends and families. The platform includes nostalgia chat rooms; a memory section allowing users to recall and organize the past; a community section where users can follow and post information to various social media accounts; and a news section that will include daily content, interviews and exclusive DYR content.

"Nostalgia surrounds us every day," says Do You Remember's co-founder, Michael Gitter. "We're thrilled to give users, regardless of age, a digital portal where they can relive their favorite memories and connect with others who share similar interests. The Do You Remember site, blog, and chat features were conceptualized through those human tendencies to embrace the past. "

The social distribution platform powered through Do You Remember's vintage images, videos and sounds is designed to engage people in conversations surrounding memories of past generations. Do You Remember's proprietary technology, coupled with its content and vast social media, gives its users with ability to digitally express personal recollections with others to create, share, and manage memories.

"With topics focused on distinct images that bring us back to some of the most emotional and passionate times, Do You Remember brings a new life into items from the past – like popular television series, to outdated technologies, retro toys, and music that topped the charts at all points in time," says Mr. Gitter. "The opportunities to discover and embrace the past are countless; Do You Remember provides a virtual launch pad into retro moments throughout history."

Do You Remember launched with an impressive 20,000 initial beta testers, a Twitter following of 115,000+, and 33,500+ "likes" on Facebook. They plan to expand their user-base within a year, creating a global Do You Remember community.
