Press Release Body = Cogitum Launches New Version of FotoTagger Image Annotation Tool

ASHBURN, VA, USA - July 11, 2006. Cogitum LC, a provider of software for personal
content management, has launched the latest version of FotoTagger
(http://www.fototagger.com), a popular tool for image annotation.

FotoTagger 1.7 is a step forward in implementation of a Cogitum initiative on
providing a simple and easy-to-use tool for creating meaningfully annotated pictures
with a new personal or social value. These are family photos and travel pictures,
paintings and educational images, children drawings and archaeological photos - any
images where identifying objects and providing historical, cultural, or economical
background can help a user convey more knowledge for memorizing or sharing across
communities.

FotoTagger 1.7 provides both bloggers and desktop users with more abilities to add
such new value to images. In addition to the existing image annotation capabilities,
with FotoTagger 1.7, users can:

- Create callouts to precisely mark notable details. This new feature is especially
useful for those users who have pictures, like group family photos, where an ability
to pinpoint a particular person is crucial.

- Identify boundaries of compound objects. Now users can assign a single annotation
to a group of multiple objects that can be helpful, for example, while commenting
sights on travel pictures.

- Facilitate understanding of annotations by customizing their font and color. With
FotoTagger 1.7 annotations can be distinctly viewed regardless of specific
background colors.

Being a desktop application, FotoTagger enables users to tag pictures located on a
hard disk without having to upload them to the Web. Then bloggers can publish
annotated images to Blogger.com or LiveJournal directly from FotoTagger while
desktop users are able to enjoy an ability to search across the annotations. The
tool also offers other means for sharing images, such as email and exporting to HTML
for easy publishing on the Web.

The current personal version of FotoTagger supports what could be called "3F
principle" F1: Free of charge; F2: Free of ads; F3: Free of spyware and privacy
intrusion.

FotoTagger can be downloaded from the official product Website
http://www.fototagger.com. This Website also provides various examples of possible
FotoTagger applications, help documentation, and FAQ.
