MaYoMo Issues Call for Journalism Students to Participate in New 'Social News Network'

NEW YORK, NY, Oct 05 (MARKET WIRE) --
MaYoMo (Map Your Moments, www.mayomo.com), a powerful, new video-centric
social network for mobile citizen journalists and the most inspired
alternative source for global, multimedia news content, today issued a
call for journalism students throughout the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and
around the world to create a free member account and contribute content
to its site. Today's announcement coincides with the official launch of
MaYoMo's media platform and enhanced website.

MaYoMo offers aspiring journalists new opportunities to make an impact and
contribute to a growing, global online community of news and conversation.
It also announced, as a new school year begins, that it has begun working
with journalism schools at colleges and universities to increase awareness
of its site as an outlet for students to post breaking local news stories
in their own cities or regions, and news-analysis and commentary on
broader global news and issues.

"We're about creating the future of journalism," said Hristo Alexiev, CEO
and cofounder of MaYoMo. "The MaYoMo site is a video-centric web platform
for mobile citizen journalism, whereby young journalists can develop
networks of colleagues and an audience for collaboration and sharing.
Participation on our site empowers our members to play an active role in
reshaping journalism and news reporting as we know it, while erasing
borders between countries for professional and student journalists alike."

MaYoMo is poised to play a role in defining the future of journalism and
in shaping the careers of journalists. It creates an opportunity for
student journalists to report on news and developments important in their
lives. MaYoMo has begun aggressively promoting its social news network to
college students via a Facebook presence, and with on-campus awareness
campaigns in the U.S. at twenty-five of the nation's top journalism
schools. The company is also actively introducing its site to journalism
school faculty and advisors throughout the U.S., U.K., and Canada.

Kim Garretson, a media professional who directs seniors at the University
of Missouri Journalism School in their final semester projects, said
MaYoMo can not only be a valuable service for current students, but also a
much-needed transition service as those students graduate. "Many of the
j-school students I work with are starting personal blogs and Twittering
to try to demonstrate their skills in their job seeking. But joining the
MaYoMo team puts them in the global stream of real news reporting."

How It Works

Access to all content on the MaYoMo web site is free. Students can easily
create an account, and start contributing content and uploading photos,
video, and other media assets -- from a variety of devices, including
video-enabled phones. Contributors who have met certain criteria can
create their own "channels" and begin building an audience. With a
channel, a contributor has options to help them create better and more
frequently viewed content. MaYoMo's "channel approach" and shared
advertising revenue model also creates income opportunities for
professional and student journalists around the world.

The MaYoMo site supports content in all leading media types and protocols,
including MPEG, MP3, WMV, Twitter, RSS, and more, and has state-of-the-art
web site features and functionality for creating, maintaining, searching,
reading, and experiencing news content.
