Boston, MA July 14, 2006 -- This week at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference in Boston, The Carbon Project demonstrated the world’s first peer-to-peer (P2P) framework for sharing and finding location-based information and connecting directly with friends and neighbors.

The ((Echo))MyPlace™ demonstration highlighted how conference attendees can use a local P2P digital community to share location-based content across the exhibition floor of the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference. With this P2P network attendees easily created customized location-based notes about their local neighborhood and then shared their messages or experiences using CarbonCloud™.

“CarbonCloud uses P2P technology to enable connections directly between users’ computers so they can instantly share location content in a safe and secure environment. With CarbonCloud and our easy-to-use ((Echo))MyPlace application you can create your own CarbonCloud neighborhoods, then instantly share your notes, digital photos and maps with others through your own distributed network. There is no server or web-site involved; the connected computers is all it takes!” said Nuke Goldstein, CTO and COO of The Carbon Project.

((Echo))MyPlace and CarbonCloud are powered by CarbonTools PRO, a software development toolkit that enhances the Microsoft .NET framework to support advanced location content handling and sharing. CarbonTools is scheduled for release in mid 2006.
