The international edition of Greenwich2000 (www.greenwich2000.com) was launched last year. It has already won many awards including AOL (American On-Line, the World's largest internet service provider) "Site of the Day" in the USA. It has received wide-media coverage around the world in newspapers, magazines and on radio and television. It will also be featured in a number of books and CD-ROM's which are in preparation.
As a consequence the site is now attracting over 1,000 visitors from, up to 50 countries, each and every day. The site has already attracted, close to 200,000 visitors, from 106 countries to-date.
The UK edition of Greenwich2000 is launched today. Sei Pass (Marketing Director of Cypass Limited), said "We have been delighted with the international response we have received to the Greenwich2000 web-sites". "With the millennium celebrations being just over a thousand days away we felt it was appropriate to launch the UK edition". The UK edition will contain the same core material but will able to focus on the local community and businesses.
The site already contains the equivalent of 1,000 pages of information relating to the history and heritage of Greenwich, as well as time, the meridian line and, of course, the millennium.
"We are already working in partnership with a number of media organisations". "Already announced is a link with Virgin Radio where visitors to the Greenwich2000 site can listen to Virgin Radio live from London from anywhere in the world whilst 'browsing the site".
"A number of other media relationships both within the UK and internationally are under discussion".
"We aim to build a complete encyclopedia of the history and heritage by the year 2000". "We have just started to develop the site". "It is envisaged that 76 people will need to be recruited to complete the project". "The aim is to maximise the millennium for the people and businesses of Greenwich"
"Tour operators and journalists from around the World have contacted us wanting information about Greenwich and the Millennium."
Cypass are keen to work with the local community and have formally offered 100 web-pages to Greenwich school's. They are also working with a number of Community Groups.
