Touch Through Mobile Phones.

Press Release Body = SAN FRANCISCO, CA. September 26, 2006 - Feedtext Inc. announces
the release of Moblabber (http://www.moblabber.com), a fun and useful social
networking service that is optimized for both web and mobile phone interaction.

The most common woes from online social networking services are caused by the lull
between the times that your contacts are online. By practice, they would have to go
online, check their email notifications for new alerts, and then respond. Moblabber
reduces this wait time by allowing your social network to be up to date anywhere
where there is a US mobile carrier signal that supports Moblabber.

Moblabber takes social networking to the next level by introducing a gateway to all
your friends with the power of text messaging. Subscribers are able to create user
profiles, upload pictures, create and join interest groups, send messages to old
friends and make new ones - all through their mobile phones. A subscriber only needs
a phone capable of sending and receiving text messages to avail of the service.

Because Moblabber is available through the web and optimized for viewing on mobile
phones, subscribers of supported US carriers can register and make use of all the
online services either through their web browsers or through a simplified text
messaging version on their mobile phones. In addition, subscribers can opt to
receive message alerts via text message when a new event has taken place such as
group announcements, group replies and private messages.

The ability to create public and private interest groups adds a whole new dimension
to organizing events and keeping friends, family and workmates updated on the latest
group developments:

"This is the advent of wireless community building," says Vince T. Yamat, Chief
Executive Officer of Feedtext, Inc. "The very fact that you can access your group of
friends from anywhere with a cell signal opens up creative possibilities whether it
be to find help-on-the-go or indulging in casual banter. Let's say you are in dire
need of advice as to what computer to buy. All you need to do is send a message to
your entire group, which is then posted on the online forum. All group members who
have mobile phone access can then reply with their buying advice, and it's
instantaneous. Imagine the possibilities!"

Creating user groups is the task of a group moderator who can initiate forum topics
which are open to participation by anyone in the group, whether it is about current
events, hobbies, product reviews or opinions. This makes the service appealing for a
corporate feedback tool, an organization support group and after-hours chill time.
"This is where Moblabber works its magic," says Yamat. "Interest groups tend to link
and build up on a viral scale. Since the service is delivered straight to your
phone, it makes the level of interactivity more appealing because it can't get any
more personal than that."

Apart from being easy to use, Moblabber is also safe. Subscribers must be at least
18 years old to register. Subscribers have the option to turn off notifications and
block or unblock messages from being sent to their account.
