Yappn Provides "First Look" of Its New Multichannel Consumer
Platform Fotoyapp and Yappn Chat 2.0 at Intertainment Media Annual
Meeting
TORONTO, CANADA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwired - Feb 27,
2014) - Intertainment Media Inc. ("Intertainment Media" or
"Company") (TSX-VENTURE:INT)(OTCQX:ITMTF)(FRANKFURT:I4T), which has
a controlling interest in Yappn (OTCQB:YPPN), the real-time
multilingual amplification platform for brand messaging, eCommerce
and customer support in almost 70 languages, will provide its
stakeholders, at its Annual General and Special Meeting of
Shareholders tomorrow, with an introductory view of Yappn's new
multichannel consumer platform for web, portable and mobile devices
allowing users to instantly connect photos and images to almost any
social content and in almost any language. Yappn will also reveal a
first look at its new release of Yappn Chat 2.0 which includes many
new features to its global, multilingual chat application.
The notion that a "picture is worth a thousand words" generally
stems from a 1911 quote by newspaper editor Arthur Brisbane who
said the expression, "Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words."
Fotoyapp (www.fotoyapp.com) builds on that idea by revolutionizing
social engagement, allowing images and content to be linked to each
other and shared instantly in almost any language, substantiating
the thought that complex ideas can be conveyed through
visualization. Fotoyapp creates the ability to share beyond the
image.
With Fotoyappn (www.fotoyapp.com) a user simply takes an image,
from a camera, tablet, computer, etc. and uploads it to Fotoyapp
along with key words that describe the image. Fotoyapp
automatically adds the users current social media accounts like
Twitter, Facebook and Sina Weibo and crawls the web for related
social media posts associated to the key words selected by the
users. The result is a stand-alone page where images are socially
and visually enabled with all types of related content that
automatically defaults to the viewer's language, regardless of what
language the social content was posted in. Fotoyapp pairs any image
with practically any social content.
Fotoyapp allows users to share socially empowered images through
any platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, QZone, Google+, Yappn
Chat and many other domestic and global social system), email,
device or app and rewards the viewer with a completely rich
experience not found anywhere else, creating People Powered
Pics.
Data as related to key words and tags provides Fotoyapp with the
ability to focus on opportunities that will maximize value. Yappn
as part of the program has begun testing a number of revenue
components that will be customized to each Fotoyapp "connection"
both at the user and image level, potentially creating a "revenue
map" for each image.
Interested parties who want to be among the first to try this
new platform will be able to sign up for Fotoyapp by the end of
March at www.fotoyapp.com.
Yappn will also be revealing its updated Yappn Chat platform
(chat.yappn.com) which has a number of exciting new features to
create globally engaged chat. With Yappn Chat, which can be
customized and embedded in almost any platform, brands can engage
their customers in a dialogue in almost 70 languages, as the user
only sees their own native set language, allowing a free flow of
communications without a language barrier.
Intertainment Media's Annual General and Special Meeting of
Shareholders will be held on February 28, 2014 at 9:30 am Eastern
at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel and Conference Centre in Richmond
Hill, ON.
