ORLANDO, FL -- Blairwitch.com web producer Robin Cowie, has joined Worldwide Brands, Inc., teaming up with Internet veteran Chris Malta to probe another web mystery: E-Commerce.

Perhaps the single most significant factor in the success of the 1999 indie flick, The Blair Witch Project, was its popular website, www.blairwitch.com. The dark, mysterious website had millions of people hooked on figuring out the mystery and the site became the cornerstone of the entire marketing effort behind the film. As the person responsible for the development of the highly successful website, Cowie brings his vast expertise in web development and marketing to Worldwide Brands.

Cowie will serve as Worldwide's third partner and Business Development Director. His responsibilities include strategic marketing, public relations and overseeing directory research.

"We brought Rob on to this project because he has a lot of experience expanding a great core idea into a much larger experience." says Worldwide Brands founder Chris Malta. "He has already proven to be a tremendous addition to this company.”

"I've been fascinated with the Internet almost as long as I've been obsessed with movies," says the 31-year-old Cowie. "I think it is the single most empowering tool of the new millennium. People who sell though eBay, Yahoo Store, and all other Internet markets need new, factory warranted brand name products that their customers want to buy. Chris has developed a way for people to find suppliers of those products.”

Chris Malta developed Worldwide Brands and its first product, "The Drop Ship Source Directory", because of that basic supply problem common to all Home Internet Business owners. The Drop Ship Source Directory is a fully cross-referenced, web-based directory of Drop Ship wholesalers for over 1,000,000 world-class brand name products, updated in real time via the Internet. The Drop Ship Source Directory was awarded the Internet Business Excellence Award, in the category of "Resource Most Useful to Webmasters"

Worldwide Brands has since developed The Light Bulk Wholesale Directory", in order to accommodate Home-based Internet Business Owners who wish to stock and ship products themselves.

To assist Internet Sellers with critical Market Research, Worldwide Brands developed "The Market Research Wizard", a software program that reduces hours or days' worth of time-consuming research on competition to a matter of minutes.

Worldwide Brands' products are made available online at www.worldwidebrands.com

In addition to it's products, Worldwide Brands also offers Internet Business articles and information, and a free, downloadable e-book, Starting your Internet Business RIGHT. This e-book details step-by-step information on successfully building an Internet business without losing money to “the thousands of scam artists that prey on new netrepreneurs”. More than  half a million people have downloaded the free e-book, and have returned an overwhelmingly positive response.

Since Cowie joined Worldwide Brands, the company has moved into new offices, tripled their staff, launched a new version of the website and developed new research tools to increase the speed of the daily growth of their Directories. At this point, the Directory products contain information on well over 1,000,000 products available for Home-based Internet Businesses to sell, from over 2,600 Brand Names.
