Media Advisory Panraven, Inc. Boston Celebrates the 111th Boston Marathon on www.panraven.com Panraven.com Allows Members to Build and Share Stories; Bring Memories to Life CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – April 18, 2007 – Despite the stormy weather, thousands of rain soaked and wind swept runners and spectators came together on Patriots Day to celebrate the 111th Boston Marathon. While some ran competitively, others ran for themselves or for a cause or charity of personal significance. Still more came out to cheer on friends, family members, or perfect strangers. And this year, Panraven created a unique perspective on the Boston Marathon, a story that often gets overlooked or outweighed by the coverage of the winners and top finishers. Currently in closed beta until early May, Panraven is an online service that empowers people to create and share stories with family and friends. Registration is free, and members can easily upload photos and add text and graphics using a host of templates available on the site. Once stories are completed, they can be viewed and shared online, even printed in professional hard-bound books. Stories and personal photo libraries are secure on a members own private Web site at Panraven. Members can then choose between different levels of sharing and access to their content. And, as members create more stories, they are added to a personal timeline which they can revisit, edit or print from at any time. "The Boston Marathon is not just a race. It's not just an event. It's an eclectic compilation of individual challenges, ambitions, sacrifices and triumphs," said Frode Eilertsen, Panraven CEO. "We created Panraven for people who don't just want to catalog and store pictures, but would like to truly capture and express the feelings and emotions that accompany the many experiences that make up their lives. And to do this, we have provided a solution that goes far beyond photo albums."
