Press Release Summary: Even today there are still countless unique places in
Paraguay yet untouched by visitors and exceptional landscapes are waiting to be
unveiled by photographers.

Press Release Body:
Haan, Germany, March 25, 2008 -- With Paraguay landlocked quite in the heart of
South America, tourism took its timfe to discover the countries overwhelming beauty
and cultural wealth. Even today there are still countless unique places yet
untouched by visitors and exceptional landscapes are waiting to be unveiled by
photographers.

Paraguay is decidedly twofold: The eastern region\'s green countryside and dense
forests form the lively part of Paraguay, featuring the boiling capital Asuncion as
well as the vast majority of the country\'s 5.7 million citizens. In contrast to that
the peace and serenity of the western region inspire those in search of calmness and
uncorrupted nature and wildlife.

Whatever the reason for a visit to Paraguay, photos & information from residents and
those who know the spot are always welcome, both, to make the best out of a trip and
not to miss the secret splendour every location holds: What\'s worth visiting in
Asuncion? Where to stay in Pilar? What to do in Concepcion? What to avoid in San
Lorenzo? Users may depict their recommendations on MyGreatParaguay.com - For
tourists. For residents. For friends. Worldwide.

The change of Paraguay over the centuries and even over the last decades and years
is sometimes subtle (and sometimes not). It becomes obvious by comparing the
chronological advancement in housing and construction and the varying styles in
design and architecture. The further an observer is travelling back in time the more
evident growth and progress become.

Combining these different approaches (to a vast mass of digital photography laying
dormant on harddrives around the globe), www.MyGreatParaguay.com opens up its
services to the community these days to build an online-database of literally any
spot in this country. Even the very streets users are living in are subject to
continuous changes - and to make these trends visible is one of the goals of the
site.

Uploading photos to MyGreatParaguay is map-based, fast and easy allowing the user to
add new spots to the database (cities, points of interest, landscapes) on the fly.
To make the database work, users are asked for the time (year or even better: year &
month) and a category their picture fits in best. Any further description a user
enters will be additionally indexed for key-words. The same goes for the photo\'s
title. Structures and designs are straightforward and comprehensible without
popup-windows or superfluous gadgets.

Is there a typical architecture in a town? Which hotel is it advisable to stay in?
What\'s a commendable cafe, a museum worth seeing or a beautiful landscape in a spot?
The photos might also depict details of a (not) recommendable archaeological site, a
folkloristic event, an interesting building or even 'just' the own road for those
fortunates living in Paraguay.
Users are invited to give a helping hand and insider-guide to future visitors - and
maybe even an eye-opener to residents living nearby.

Retrieving information from the database demonstrates that the MyGreatWorld-Project
offers more than a mere pool of pretty pictures: The Advanced Search allows for
combinations of various search-parameters including the time of the capture, the
motive, the spot, key-words in title or description and even the filtering for a
certain photographer.

Users find at all the sites of MyGreatWorld.com a solid framework to enrich with
their photos, recommendations and opinions. The site is a young project and there is
a lot of space yet to be filled. This also means users can still be the first to add
a new spot and to present the flair of a place to the world, the ambassador for a
town, landscape or favourite point of interest.

\"The site lives from the users\' engagement and from the belief that on an
international level there are no \'boring\' or unspectacular photos: The world in all
its facets is very well worth seeing and what\'s \'interesting\' is in the eye of the
beholder...\"

Descriptions are fine. But hand in hand with pictures, they are better. And at
MyGreatWorld.com users might use the combination of both.

When Marco Stuewe and Thorsten Scherff called MyGreat into life their aim was to
establish an open and non-commercial platform for every user to share his/her
impressions of any place on earth. They wanted to create a database for all the
international main destinations which would allow for a simple and fast access both
to pictures of a place or landscape and to user-comments on the respective location.

In the course of planning this project, however, they soon had to discover that
there were far more spectacular places in the world than they had dared to imagine -
... and that some other fields of interest would round up their database-project
nicely. Within a time span of just a few days more than 150 Internet-domains were
thought of and registered and are by now constantly and freely offered to the
community for the benefit of everyone.
