MIAMI - May 9, 2011: VZillion (VZIL), a social utility and lifestyle technology company, today announced that it has partnered with NASCAR Sprint Cup and 2003 USAC Triple Crown Champion J.J. Yeley. As part of the agreement, VZillion will collaborate with J.J. to integrate his voice, his brand and his sponsors into the online platform the company is currently developing. This will enable Yeley to expand his reach among NASCAR fans, regardless of their location, and offer them exclusive news, videos, pictures as well as special promotions.

Launched by founder and CEO Antonio Collier, VZillion is building a breakthrough interactive platform that will provide users with a truly immersive and customizable 3D operating system and social network. VZillion will radically change the way consumers use the Internet by offering a centralized location to search and access content and services online as well as interact with other users, brands, and celebrities.

"We are thrilled that NASCAR star J.J. Yeley is partnering with us to further connect with his fans on the platform we are building," said Collier. "This partnership builds on VZillion's recent deals and advances our commitment to providing one of the boldest experiments in social networking, 3D, artificial intelligence and social commerce."

"Once I saw what VZillion was building and what their plans for our fans were, I had to be a part of it. To be able to not only reach my die-hard fans, but to reach NASCAR fans on a global scale is a vision I share with VZillion. As a startup, VZillion has the passion and energy needed to create some exciting opportunities in this exploding space. It is going to be great to have a place where we can work in collaboration with fans and brands and drive this to a successful finish", said Yeley.

VZillion, whose partners include multimedia talent and management company MBK Entertainment, former New York Knicks point guard and ESPN commentator Mark Jackson, pro skater Eli Reed and which staff includes artificial intelligence guru Ben Goertzel, is planning to launch its beta version later this year.
