  PARK CITY, UT, Apr 23 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
SmartWired officially launched Dweeber, the first social networking site
for student homework collaboration. The site enables students to solve
problems together, participate in virtual study sessions, and communicate
with friends in a number of ways. The collaborative whiteboard can be
used to solve math and science problems or to create joint drawings and
diagrams. Most importantly, Dweeber allows students to create a SMART
profile in order to discover how they learn best and then apply this
knowledge to improve their schoolwork and ultimately their self esteem.
Dweeber is targeted towards students aged 13 and up and is free-of-charge.

    "One of the things we have learned over the years is that students view
their friends as a trusted learning resource, and Dweeber enables them to
leverage this collective knowledge," said David Peck, SmartWired partner
and Dweeber founder and CEO. "Our ultimate goal for Dweeber is to help
make doing homework fun, because we all remember how painful it can be. By
using the tools on the site, students can gather and get their homework
done faster and easier than they would on their own."

    Dweeber's SMART Profile system is one of the most important features on
the site. Based on years of learning research, the system reveals each
student's natural talents and abilities by discovering what his or her
brain needs to excel, and unearthing the things that drive them to do so.
Students can also compare their SMART Profile with their friends on the
site, helping to understand each other's learning style. In addition,
Dweeber allows students to share and rate the best web sites by subject,
and earn guru points for helping friends, sharing successes, and posting
the best learning resources and sites.

    High school students on the Dweeber Youth Advisory Board gave important
input on the site's user interface and content.
