Make Love, Not War: New Social Network Launches to "Share the Love"

EINDHOVEN, THE NETHERLANDS--(Marketwire - November 12, 2008) - Share the Love, http://www.share-the-love.net, launches today as the international community for poetic self-expression and quixotic connections. Users from around the world can join in to "Share the Love" by uploading their creative poem, verse, haiku or limerick in English and translate it into 40 different languages, then watch their love go around the world.

Share the Love submitted poetry can be viewed in multiple languages and shared within the Share the Love community or globally through e-cards, Facebook and additional social network applications. Once uploaded, users can track their poems by viewing how often their poem has been sent, the number of downloads and languages into which it has been translated. The Share the Love Facebook and Social Network applications bring the love to users' social sites with Share the Love poetry search and share, or create, upload and display their own poetry.

"With Share the Love you can communicate and express yourself without any language barriers," commented Michelle Brouwers, Creator of Share the Love. "You are able to be a part of a community which is building a culturally diverse collection of poetry and love to share with the world."

Share the Love social network, in conjunction with Shapeways, also allows consumers to take their poem one step further and bring their poems to life by creating their own unique "Light Poem" in just a few mouse clicks. The Shapeways 3D printed LightPoem is attractively priced at $80.00 - $120.00 including tax and shipping. This incredible gift arrives beautifully packaged and makes the perfect gift for any occasion.
