Virtual Iris Announces Redesign of Irisize.com’s Front Page

Los Angeles – Two months ago, Virtual Iris launched Irisize.com as a public beta. The site allows anyone visiting it to upload pictures, make them interactive and share them via e-mail, blogs, community based websites such as MySpace, or through web pages. Based on feedback, from focus groups, the front page of the site has been completely redesigned and a long list of other features are about to be added.

“We listened to actual users of the site and started to add features that they requested,” said Dr. Gary Kramer; Virtual Iris’ CEO. “Two things that were almost universally requested were the ability to see pictures that others were uploading, and the ability to easily show off their own pictures. Now, every time a user uploads a picture to Irisize.com, they can mark it as public or private. If they mark it public, it goes straight to the front page. It’s very voyeuristic and quite addictive”

Within the next two weeks, a wide variety of additional features will also be introduced. “Everything we are doing right now is user driven,” said Kramer. “All of our new features, which will be announced over the next two weeks, have been by request.”
