Amvona (site)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Amvona.com has been described as "one of the most famous faith-based news sites today". On six occasions, articles about the site were posted at Amvona, but all were deleted, some after discussion (1, 2). A citation in this new article tells of the latest development in the history of the site: Photoflex settled a lawsuit brought against it by Amvona, paying $100,000.00 US Dollars. The story also tells us that Amvona "closed its retail presence in 2010 to focus on its blog". This is the reason the new Wikipedia article is called "Amvona (site)". The site is the brainchild of the Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Gregory Lemelson, whose posts have been reposted by theburningplatform.com and Zero Hedge. Lemelson has created a profile for the company on the prestitious CrunchBase Web site.

In 2009, prior to the divestiture of its photographic accessories business, the company was the subject of a full-length article in the North Attleboro, Massachusetts Sun Chronicle. The article hails amvona.com's "new marketing-social networking platform that blends some of the personal networking attibutes of Facebook with characteristics of commercial sites like Amazon.com and zillow."

In 2008, Mashable applauded Amvona (site) for its site-specific search. The search platform, dubbed "Amvona Trails", was the only search engine designed to show results only from the amvona.com site. Another achievement in search engine technology was Discovery, which the company called "revolutionary"; the company designed the Corridor, an online gallery where photographers can arrange their images by "clicking and dragging thumbnails into collections." —rybec 22:53, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
