FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PLANO, TX, June 20, 1996 - InfoMedia, Inc. today announced the 500,000th visitor to the popular WorldVillage web site, known as one of the web's finest "family-safe" sites. WorldVillage may be accessed freely on the Internet's World-Wide-Web at http://www.worldvillage.com.
"The growing concerns for families being able to surf the web without encountering material they might offensive, along with government attempts to control the internet through legislation, have led to a need for web content providers to step forward and create family-friendly content," said InfoMedia, Inc. President, Joel Comm. "WorldVillage is finding success by providing an alternative for those parents and children who desire a "family-safe" experience. We believe that parents, not the government, should be the ones to determine what their children may experience on the internet."
WorldVillage is a uniquely entertaining and informative community containing daily software reviews, humorous articles, downloads, live chat, online games, cartoons, and more.
Since it's debut in the third quarter of 1995, WorldVillage has received attention and accolades from leading news sources such as CNN's Computer Connection as CBS News Up to the Minute. WorldVillage was also named a "leading internet content provider" by The Red Herring. In the internet community, WorldVillage has received "Cool Site" awards from Mecklermedia, Prodigy, Compuserve, USA Today, NetGuide, and MultiMedia World, among dozens of others.
