PERFSPOT'S NEW PHOTO FEATURES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PERFSPOT’S REVAMPED PHOTO-SHARING CAPABILITIES GROW MEMBERSHIP; ONE-OF-A-KIND FEATURES ATTRACT SITE VISITORS
TEMPE, Ariz., Jan. 17, 2008 - PerfSpot.com, LLC, a fast-growing social networking site, is pleased to announce that its newly launched and comprehensive photo-sharing feature is attracting new members and increasing site visitors. The newly redesigned photo section offers one-of-a-kind features not found on any other social networking site.

Since the launch of the new photo-sharing capabilities, Google Analytics show PerfSpot’s U.S. Web site visits climbed over 200 percent in December from November with an estimated 2.1 million unique U.S. visitors. Google’s numbers also show PerfSpot’s total Web site visits soared to over 22 million globally, a 119 percent growth from November to December. PerfSpot says membership growth rate has increased over ten percent since photo-sharing has been enhanced.

“We’ve combined the greatest photo-sharing capabilities out there and have integrated them into one spot on the Internet to make it a top-notch experience for all,” said Hart Cunningham, CEO, PerfSpot. “Our members are really excited about the functions and photo-sharing capabilities that are now available to them.”

Unlike any other social networking site, PerfSpot has added a new tool allowing users to view their albums or other members’ albums in a slide-show photo format. The slide-show view enlarges photos, providing an up-close look, no matter the original size of the uploaded image. All advertisements are blocked off, allowing the user to view the photo with no distractions.

Most social networking sites have the ability to share photos with friends and family by sending them a URL or emailing them the entire album, but usually this requires signing up for the social networking site. At PerfSpot, membership is not necessary for friends and family to view the photos, which makes sharing and accessing photos quick and simple.

Other new photo-sharing functions include:
• Perfection: One of the most popular functions, Perfection, allows members to select photos to share with other PerfSpot users to see how other members rate them. Rating members is completely anonymous and done on the Perfection part of the Web site.
• Views: Every time a user clicks on a photo, it automatically counts the number of views photos are receiving.
• Spotting: Spot other PerfSpot users in uploaded photos. This also alerts members to when they’ve been spotted in others’ photos.
• Advanced Photo Comments: Instead of just commenting in plain text like most other social networking sites, PerfSpot now allows users to pick from a variety of fonts, styles and sizes. Users can customize the look of their comments.
• Album Naming: PerfSpot has streamlined the process of naming photos. Whether users upload two photos or even 200 photos, all photos in an album are quickly named whatever the member chooses to name the album. When the member has time, he can add further descriptions to each photo as desired.
• PerfRating: While in album view, rate friends’ photos to let them know what you think.
• Unlimited Photos: Members can upload unlimited photos for free and share them with whomever they want. Members can access and manage all their photos in one place.

Other recent additions to PerfSpot.com include:
• Grapevine: A newsfeed allowing users to view friends’ additions, customizable so users get only what they care about in their newsfeed.
• Networks: Over 300,000 schools, universities, and work networks are available for users to join and further connect members.
• Tons of Videos: Through a variety of partnerships PerfSpot has increased its video library to 115 million videos.
