LOS ANGELES, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 24, 2007 -- Just in time for Memorial Day this year,
the launch of YellowRibbonTeam.com is bringing family and friends together
from across the world. As a portal for the active duty military, their
families, and the U.S. American Veterans, the site features the latest in
technology and offers the promise of communication to those whose loved
ones are far away.
Using the latest S.O.C.I.A.L. platform version 2.0 from DAVE Networks, the
site allows users to share experiences and family moments with loved ones.
Enveloping a community of people of the same vein, the site allows for
users to create profiles with slideshows and media players, share stories,
leave comments or send private messages. Aspects of the profile can be
made public or flagged just for friends.
"We are so proud of our Armed Forces, and the brave men and women who
serve! To provide to them a 'state of the art' communication system that
lets them share their story firsthand, is one of the best things about the
Yellow Ribbon Team. It gives the military a platform to tell the accurate
story on what is happening in today's military. The information is
delivered from some of the top officers in the military with no
spin-doctors or middle person to filter the information," said Yellow
Ribbon Team founder Doug Johnson.
"One of our responsibilities is to keep our sailors combat ready. One of
the best things to do to accomplish that goal is to help the family unit
stay strong. Communication between the sailor and their family is
essential," stated Admiral L.R. Hering, Commander, Navy Region Southwest.
"As affinity groups and organizations are using social networks more and
more to develop their communities, we are excited that YellowRibbonTeam.com
could also see the benefits of maximizing their online presence," states
DAVE Networks CEO Rex Wong. "This interactive communication tool allows
family members that are separated from loved ones fighting overseas to be
able to keep in constant touch through seamless video and picture uploads,
blog posts, and sound bites."
