NEWS RELEASE:

September 5, 2008: Slungle.net launches

After several months of research and design, the Slungle.net community is finally ready for prime-time.  Slungle is using a blend of social networking, live broadcasting, community discussion, and reality TV to create a truly integrated social media environment.

"Our desire is to mashup the most compelling technologies to create an environment that not only appeals to 'Generation Y', but also meets a real need.", said Manny Martinez, Slungle co-founder and Partner.  "The Slungle model is looking to extend the enormously successful friendship offerings of mySpace and Facebook by reaching the hearts and minds of this generation.  We are not going to compete with these main-stream social networks, but rather fill a void and use a combination of social networking and broadcast media to address real-life topics that today's youth face everyday."

Slungle.net will leverage a social networking framework and integrate an IPTV approach.  When interviewed, founding partner Steven Horvath noted, "Our focus is to truly offer and embrace a social media environment to meet the needs of our community.  We want to use the tools and technologies that our community is already accustomed and extend their capabilities.  Our focus is to create a compelling experience by addressing the difficult life issues that we all face.  We want to offer a 'reality-like' experience that conveys the authenticity and depth of our Slungle approach."

Slungle is also embracing and incorporating professional media production services to create a unique content and an appealing venue.  Slungle Partner and co-founder Dan Rupple commented, "Traditional media is no longer mainstream.  Slungle is one of the first true social-media communities that I have seen, and it is truly positioned to make a significant difference.  Technology convergence is transitioning how media production occurs, and we at Slungle are using new media to create a truly interactive and engaging offering for 'Generation Y'."

Our production crew had a fun and eventful evening interviewing teens at a local venue in the Los Angeles, California area.  Dan Rupple and his SeriouslyFunny.tv production crew interviewed random youth asking them, "What is Slungle?".  In the words of Dan, "it was an extremely entertaining evening, with some very interesting responses!"

We are extremely excited about the future and anticipate viral growth as we open up our community.  Our high-quality broadcasting and our production experience are poised to truly demonstrate how traditional media is transitioning into the world of the online broadcast.  We anticipate that our social media environment will quickly become a leader in this new world of social media.

About Slungle: Slungle is a community for "Generation Y" that uses a blend of social networking, live broadcasting, community discussion, and reality TV to entertain and engage. Slungle is using social media to impact a generation today for a more significant tomorrow.
