NEW YORK, Sept. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiwibox.com, Inc. [KIWB.BB] expands Pixunity for its photo blogging community throughout the world with its latest platform launch in the French language. Accessed via "www.communaute-de-photos.com", Pixunity's photoblogging and sharing options will offer to the French-speaking world an interactive experience by designing and sharing photobooks.

In September, 2012,  Kiwibox integrated for the first time, origin-based advertisements on its pixunity sites and has witnessed a more than 150% increase in the usage of its platform, with members creating new photo album sharing sessions. Pixunity has now more than 25.000 members tied together and sharing their photo experiences.
