Press Release

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Today WedSnap officially launched the Weddingbook Boards on their Facebook application.

The boards allow users to chat with other brides and grooms. Users are able to get advice and share their woes and triumphs. With over 280,000 users, Weddingbook offers a large community for nearlyweds to tap into. Built on the Facebook platform, the Weddingbook Boards offer a richer social experience than traditional forums offered by The Knot and others.

"The cool thing about the Weddingbook boards is that the relationships can extend beyond the app itself," said Kevin Lister, Founder, WedSnap. "You're not just talking to some anonymous Avatar. You have access to all the social aspects of Facebook. With the click of a button, you can 'friend' the person you've been talking to. Suddenly, you can see their profile, write on their wall, and do all the fun Facebook stuff. Because it's on Facebook, you have complete control over your privacy too."

"I absolutely adore the boards! It's been so wonderful to be able to talk about my plans, worries and stories with other brides who are going through the same things", said Liz Struck, an avid Weddingbooker with over 130 posts. "I get new ideas for my wedding every time I log on. Everyone is so helpful and friendly, and no matter what I need there's always someone who has an answer."

Since the soft launch on March 3, over 5000 messages have been posted on 230 different topics. WedSnap plans to generate revenue from the Weddingbook forums through brand sponsorships and advertisements. "The social aspects of Weddingbook make it a great way to build brand affinity and engage with brides and grooms," added Lister. "By building a fun, spam-free application, we have developed a very positive relationship with a targeted niche on one of the world's most popular websites. We think smart brands will want to be a part of that relationship."

The boards can be accessed by adding the Weddingbook application for Facebook.
