FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT

Madrid,12th November – State of the art technology is not only used for eye candies, but also for features facilitating the use of websites, such as the drag & drop functionality of gurudelvino.com . It helps especially elderly persons get along easily and intuitively in an online wine community. There is a visible clipboard, where one can store wines, articles and other members temporarily. Deleting them also works like on the desktop – by dragging and dropping it onto a recycle bin. The clipboard also serves another purpose: it is the easiest option until now to create a link on the internet. Dragging and dropping a wine from the clipboard onto a textbox will automatically generate a link to that wine.

Gurudelvino.com is not only a place for wine enthusiasts to meet, but also for the wine industry to get to know the tastes of their potential customers. The groups feature lets companies involved in the wine business create something similar to a microsite within the application.

The application clearly represents the latest in Web 2.0. It runs in Flex/Flash and illustrates how complex rich internet applications can run smoothly and be user friendly.
