Web 3.0 Platform Will Foster Seamless Global Communication;Promote

Cross-Cultural Collaboration

DENVER–(Business Wire)–

With more than 1.6 billion Internet users communicating in countless languages

and 4.6 billion cell phone users predicted by the end of 2009, language barriers

represent the final frontier to modern international communication. Mojofiti, a

global network of people working together to break down language barriers

worldwide, today launched mymojofiti.com, a multilingual publishing platform

currently in beta.

mymojofiti.com is a global, open source-based publishing and networking platform

where people can publish, share and interact with each other in their native

local language while reaching out to the world in 27 languages through Google`s

machine dictionaries. mymojofiti uses a combination of WordPress, BuddyPress and

other proprietary technologies augmented by Google machine translations to allow

users to combine all content from their existing WordPress blog and instantly

translate it for viewers in their native language. Soon it will include a

language-enabled e-commerce plug-in, so users can easily extend their goods and

services for purchase to more buyers on a worldwide basis.

Mojofiti is calling upon open source developers, translators, content designers,

and creators to join the effort to enhance and grow mymojofiti.com to ultimately

become a new kind of global social network, allowing anyone to express

themselves, integrate with social media tools and interact in any language

globally.
