Top Notch Online Modeling Network Launches With Style, ModelURL.com

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The modeling industry just became more exciting with the official launch of ModelURL, an online modeling network specially designed to connect aspiring & professional models, model photographers and other creative artists. Presenting this high-paced industry with what it needs, ModelURL introduces a fresh, interactive and innovative Web 2.0 site that focuses on the best user experience for its members, connecting them to resources that will benefit them.  

The unveiling of ModelURL gives its competitors something to look out for.  Shifting beyond the traditional Web 1.0 social media sites, ModelURL combines a sleek and professional design with a superb easy-to-navigate system for members.  They can now efficiently manage their identity online and build relationships with people in the modeling world.

"Older model sites may help you make friends like in the Myspace/Web 1.0 era, but our site is positioned in a way to help you get what you really need in this tough industry: reputation, brand awareness, and strong connections," says Son Le, ModelURL founder and CEO.

ModelURL recognizes the unique needs of both aspiring and professional models and the often-overlooked talents of their model photographers, stylists, make-up artists and more.  By allowing members to attribute the work of others on their portfolio with a "credit" and vice versa, ModelURL creates and reinforces an inherent reputation system of trust and portfolio quality.  Anyone can then search this system.

Similar to Facebook and LinkedIn, members can create and manage an online professional profile and interact with others.  Moreover, if users have online accounts elsewhere, ModelURL has the option to import existing modeling portfolios from other modeling communities.  

"Being a professional model and now stylist, I have been a member of many other primitive modeling sites but have found them to be inefficient and ineffective. Our goal is to create a site that's not only comparable to other major successful networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, but also make it more resourceful and navigable for a community of people that helps each other," says Lyndzi Trang, ModelURL's Co-founder and Community Manager.

Only a small fraction of many exclusive features have been implemented on ModelURL.  One notable feature is ModelURL's directory of modeling agencies around the world. Members can now search for agencies and get in contact with them for modeling jobs and other jobs relating to the industry.  More highlighted features that set the online modeling network apart from the competition include designating yourself with multiple creative trades under one account and linking Twitter and Facebook accounts to update status messages.

Reminiscent of Google's limited release plans, only pillars of the modeling industry have been invited to join the site who are then given only 10 invitations to invite friends.  For a limited time, access to ModelURL.com is available by using the code, modelPR.
