Social Network Kiwibox.com Unveils U.S. version of Photo Blogging Community Pixunity

Kiwibox.com, a New York City based social network has announced 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.

Pixunity features an array of creative templates and designs that enables users to easily bind memories through photo books to share with their 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.

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.
