GeoSpot(TM) Deep Local Search and Exploration Goes Mobile

June 16, 2008

FREMONT, Calif., June 16 /PRNewswire/– GeoSpot Inc.
, the location-based services and social activities
company, announced today a Beta release of GeoSpot(TM) Mobile Web service.
The service is a patent-pending high-performance sweeping search of local
businesses and other POIs (points of interest) that are open either now or
at a specified time. Instead of listing POIs of which many may be closed,
consumers only see those that are currently open or opening soon.

Mobile users can use contextual navigation to find related POIs, see
the location on the map, or simply use the one-click phone dial feature to
immediately contact the businesses of interest. GPS capability will be
added soon. The service works on any mobile phone with a browser. Mobile
users simply connect to http://www.GeoSpot.com and GeoSpot servers provide
the version appropriate for their mobile phone.

Demand for location-based services (LBS) recently received a giant
boost with the popularity of iPhone and upcoming BlackBerry Bold and
Android-based handsets.

“GeoSpot(TM) Mobile is a key and natural extension of our Web local
search service,” noted GeoSpot CEO Joe Chen. “While Web is ideal for
planning trips in advance, mobile phone is the ultimate environment for
finding businesses and places that are open when needed the most, often at
odd hours. With the summer travel season around the corner, GeoSpot(TM)
Mobile’s ability to find ‘what is open now’ can make the trips less
stressful and more enjoyable.”

“We envision GeoSpot(TM) Mobile and GeoSpot(TM) Web to be complementary
services that will take advantage of the natural strengths of the Web and
mobile platforms and coexist in a symbiotic relationship,” explained Peter
Braun, GeoSpot’s Vice President of Product Management.
