ViziWorld Launches Global Photo Mapping and Sharing Product for Consumer Market

FortCollins, CO, May 17, 2005---ViziWorld LLC, announced today the launch of ViziMap Creator^TM, an online multimedia mapping product focused on satisfying people's desire to communicate with maps and photos, and to share these with one another.

“It has been estimated that over 50 billion digital photos will be created in 2005,” said Doran Geise, President, ViziWorld LLC. “Each photo tells a story about people, places, and things. ViziWorld offers a unique and powerful way for people to share those stories around the world with maps and photos.”

The ViziWorld service lets people access a worldwide map database, select a custom map area, link their own photos to locations on the map, add descriptive text and colorful graphics to the map, insert descriptions and captions to the photos, store the finished ViziMap^TM and then email it quickly and conveniently to multiple addresses.

“We are providing a way for people to enhance communication over the Internet quickly, easily and intuitively.” says Keith Croteau, CTO of ViziWorld, “Along with text descriptions and photo titles and captions the ViziWorld service adds the key dimension of place to photos. Through our global map data, seeing the ‘where’ of a photo conveys richer meaning and directly places the viewer on the scene.”
