The new website is part of QuePasa Corporation's vision to "Make it Happen!" for its members -- offering a compelling and user-friendly experience to its large and growing Latino audience.
"The new QuePasa.com is feature-rich and inviting," said Robert B. Stearns, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We intend to provide our audience and our advertisers with an online experience that competes effectively with any social network. The beta version of the new QuePasa.com is technologically structured to be expandable and enable viral growth." The QuePasa.com social network is adding important online features for its members, including multiple photo albums with automatic slide shows, tagging, commenting and drag and drop sorting, and a chat function that automatically adds users' friends to their personal chat lists and tells users whether they are available to chat at any given time. The site's new instant messenger offers easy, immediate access to friends as well as to fully functioning, free e-mail.
Other advanced features of the new QuePasa.com include easy uploading, playback, and sharing of videos and music, improved blogging, English-to-Spanish and Spanish-to-English translators, search powered by Google, and invitations.
