MINNEAPOLIS, MN--(Marketwire - June 9, 2009) - DigitalTown Inc. (OTCBB : DGTW ) today
announced the launch of on-line content and news hubs for over 14,000 high
schools.
Jan Andersen, CEO of Digitaltown.com, states: "This represents the first
phase of our plans to develop powerful, user generated and interactive
sites that will serve all the constituents of local high schools, and by
extension, their local communities."
The launch of over 14,000 individual sites represents one of the largest
launches on the web. This phase aggregates existing content from across the
web that is relevant to each high school. Each school site is customized to
reflect each school's colors, with links to their official high school web
page. This phase will allow us to aggressively engage with partners to add
functionality & features unique to each domain.
While the sites are individual, they are linked through a common database
that allows ultimate economics of scale enabling each site to evolve
individually.
Andersen continued: "DigitalTown is committed to capture and focus the high
school and community spirit that binds students, parents, alumni, teachers
and coaches together. From athletic teams to academics, booster clubs to
bands, from cheerleading to student government, these high school sites
will distill each school's spirit into an experience that is useful,
entertaining and inspirational for all the groups and individuals who are
connected to their local high school."
DigitalTown is very excited to begin the process of transitioning our
portfolio of 27,000 high school spirit domain names, which represent nearly
99% of all high schools, into active sites.
