These one-page announcements take only minutes to complete and offer users a reliable and free alternative to the traditional newspaper announcement. In addition, Lycos will offer users the chance to build resumes, sports and celebrity fan pages, which are stored in galleries that can be accessed by Lycos visitors.
Users complete a short questionnaire relevant to their announcement.
They then choose a template, font and color. Upon completing the announcement, users attach an email list of family, friends and colleagues who should receive the news and then simply hit send. By developing a personal page technology, Lycos is offering its users a new way for people to easily and regularly communicate with family and friends. Headquartered near Boston in Waltham, Mass., Lycos maintains U.S. offices in New York City, Pittsburgh, Dallas, Los Angeles and San Francisco. International offices are located in Germany, Italy, France, Japan, the UK, Spain and The Netherlands.
