Multiply.com Launches Japanese Site

Partnership with Transcosmos brings social network-based content sharing to Japanese speakers.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) June 15, 2006 –- Multiply (http://multiply.com), an easy-to-use one-site solution for sharing and discussing photos, videos, blogs and more with your friends and family, has launched the Japanese version of its social networking website. The Japanese language site is operated with the support of Multiply’s Japanese strategic partner, Transcosmos, Inc.

Unlike anywhere else on the Web, Multiply integrates tools for sharing with a messaging component that allows users to communicate not only with direct contacts, but also with anyone connected to them socially. Other sites only allow sharing with a small group or require people to open up their content to the public at large.

"Multiply has a variety of features that allow people to communicate and share their lives more easily with those who care most. We’re excited about a multilingual site and the ability to reach new people who will benefit from using Multiply," says Peter Pezaris, President and Founder of Multiply.

Multiply currently has more than 2.5 million users. There are more than 86 million Internet users in Japan, according to the CIA's World Fact Book.

About Multiply

Multiply is a better way for people to communicate with their real-world social network in an online environment. A unique combination of tools and messaging capabilities makes it easy and convenient for users to share photos, video, music, blogs and other information that is important to them with those who care. Unlike other so-called “social networking” sites, Multiply members have the ability to be notified when something is being shared and discussed by anyone connected to them socially, as well as determine access to their own content for individuals within their network. This functionality promotes a safer, more meaningful environment for users to share their lives on-line. Multiply has headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, and is privately funded.
