Luvoo.com Upgrades Network Capacity to Process 10 Times Daily Volume

 Luvoo.com (PINKSHEETS: LVTI), a growing online dating company, is pleased to announce they have upgraded their network capacity to process 10 times their daily volume. This upgrade comes at a time when Luvoo.com has continued to experience a high rate of growth including their most recent 900 percent increase in monthly subscribers.

Based on the rapid rate of growth, management determined it was in the best interest of their subscribers, shareholders and distributors to improve their infrastructure with state-of-the-art technology. Their new infrastructure now consists of multiple Dual Xeon 3.0 CPUs coupled with HYBRID 20Mbps BURSTABLE to 100Mbps bandwidth. This technology gives Luvoo.com the platform to run its business in a superior manner.

L. Yvonne Vanhoek, President of Luvoo.com, stated, "During the last 3 months, we have experienced strong interest and subscriber growth. We determined it was critical to upgrade our infrastructure with state-of-the-art technology in order to meet today's demand for continued growth in the future. We are also in the process of providing new services such as Voice over IP and Video over IP for our members."

Unlike many industries, Luvoo.com's financial model is based on month over month residual revenue from online dating subscribers. Currently, over 60 million Americans are single and could use online dating services. Numbers are greatly larger when factoring in the global online dating experience. Most of these services charge a monthly fee ranging from $12.99 to $29.95. Luvoo.com is FREE for a limited time only. Management projects accelerated residual revenue to follow there after.

-- Social networks are now an integral part of the cultural fabric of the Internet, and their rapidly growing and demographically appealing audience has attracted the attention of advertisers. According to eMarketer's latest forecasts, marketers will pony up an estimated $280 million in the US to advertise on MySpace and its competitors in 2006. By 2010, that online advertising spend will grow to $1.8 billion, estimates Debra Aho Williamson, senior analyst and author of eMarketer's new report, Social Network Marketing: Carving Out Some MySpace.

(Click here for details)

How big a chunk of that total spend will go to MySpace? Since parent company, News Corp. lumps its Internet investments into an "other" category of revenue, there are few hard facts available, notes Ms. Williamson. Based on quarterly revenue in that category and other factors, eMarketer estimates the company will generate $180 million in US ad revenue this year.

Despite the rapid growth of this area, social network ad spending will account for only 1.7% of the $16.7 billion spent on US online advertising in 2006, rising to 6.3% in 2010. Although this is a small percentage of the online advertising pie, advertising on social networks will teach marketers important ways to reach newly-empowered consumers. Social networks will have an influence on all advertising, both online and offline, Ms. Williamson says.

"If companies can go even deeper to develop marketing efforts that fully embrace the one-to-one-to-many nature of social networks, ad revenues will soar," she says. "And this way of advertising will spill over into other channels. The underlying concept will influence the way advertising is done in all media, not just online."

eMarketer's Social Network Marketing: Carving Out Some MySpace answers questions such as:

--  How much money is being spent on advertising on social network sites? --  How can marketers best use social networks? --  In what ways are social networks changing advertising?

-- Atlantic Records artist, Fat Joe will be heading to Europe to perform for the first time in his career. The tour will take Fat Joe through Switzerland, France, Germany, the UK and Spain.

Fat Joe's 7th solo LP, "Me Myself & I" will be released independently and features collaborations with The Game, Lil Wayne as well as production from Scott Storch, The Runners, LV, DJ Khaled, STREETRUNNER and many more. Lyrically and musically this album puts you in the mindset of Joe's earlier releases including "Represent" and "Don Cartagena." "This album is really my most up close & personal you've ever heard. I'm showing all sides and letting fans really get to know who I truly am. Lyrically I'm showing my vulnerable and gangster sides. One of the most personal songs on the album is 'Maria' which I dedicated to my mother. I was able to open up and talk about very personal events in my life that I haven't been able to put into my rhymes before." The first single "Clap & Revolve" was produced by The Runners and has already been receiving favorable feedback from radio even being added into rotation on WKYS in Washington, DC as well as receiving heavy airplay on 99 JAMZ in Miami.

Afraid to fly for over 10 years, Fat Joe only dreamed about going over to Europe to tour and meet all his overseas fans. Two years ago, he began flying the friendly skies easing back into it on private jets. Since then he has become comfortable flying on commercial airlines. He has become so at ease with flying that he agreed to be one of the hosts for Europe's version of "Pimp My Ride," and taped episodes earlier this year in Amsterdam, Poland and England. Now, Joe will finally be able to see some of the cities that he has only been able to dream about all of his life. "This tour has been something I've wanted to do for years. I'm so glad I've found peace with flying and am able to finally hit the overseas market. This will definitely be the first of many European trips for me. I'm excited to finally see all my fans overseas that have supported my hip-hop career over the past 14 years."

Over 2000 business professionals in and around Southern California came together July 19, 2006 for a networking event like no other: L.A.'s Largest Mixer VIII.

Now in its eighth successful year, the Mixer has grown to represent a powerful meeting of 35 Los Angeles area chambers of commerce and local businesses representing hundreds of industries and companies for the ultimate networking experience.

"This is our 3rd year participating. It's a great opportunity to tell people about ourselves and to find out about and support other businesses," said Craig Kirkland, Regional Vice President, Cal National Bank. "It looks like L.A.'s Largest Mixer continues to grow. Last year, there was a huge amount of participation and this year it has grown even bigger. With even more exhibitors, it's a perfect way to network and meet more people."

Laurel Smith of Lucky Strike Lanes and Level 3 in Hollywood
passes out Lucky Strike t-shirts to LA's Largest Mixer VIII attendees.
Over 2000 buisness people mixed and mingled at the California
Market Center in Los Angeles on July 19, 2006.

Held in the Penthouse Suite at the California Market Center in Downtown LA's Fashion District, the goal of the Mixer was to encourage membership in one or several chambers of commerce allowing businesses to grow based on a wider network of support.

"This is amazing. The feedback and participation has been great," said David Smith, Director of Membership & Events, West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. "By meeting other businesses in the surrounding areas helps make my rolodex even bigger!"

Designed to be part expo and part business social event, L.A.'s Largest Mixer accomplished both by providing an "open feel" for the exhibitor's area -- no strict space rules and booth sizes are designated -- and a more "club like" ambience with the advent of ultra-style lounges and conversational areas that provided casual one-on-one discussions with existing contacts or building new relationships.

"It's been a wonderful experience. The contacts are great and the networking has been outstanding," remarked Archie Bryant of International Services, Inc., a security services company with offices in Los Angeles and Torrance. "There has been a lot of positive feedback and hopefully, that will mean more business for us. We'll definitely be back next year."

Attendees had the opportunity to view more than 250 exhibitors and network with local "influentials" on the cutting edge of Los Angeles' business elite.

"L.A.'s Largest Mixer was an awesome opportunity for us," said Trent Ramseyer, Lead Developer of www.TheOuterPost.com. "We literally had hundreds of people stop by our booth who were interested in our newly developed online social networking site promoting free and independent ideas and communication with peers."

L.A.'s Largest Mixer is produced by The Dave Linden Group, Inc. Other yearly events include "Largest Mixers" in Orange County and Las Vegas. For further information, call 323-860-8811 or visit www.largestmixer.com.

L.A.'s Largest Mixer VIII is hosted by the following organizations: Chambers of Commerce: Asia Pacific-USA, Canoga Park West Hills, Century City, Chatsworth/Porter Ranch, Culver City, East Los Angeles, Encino Chamber, Greater East Los Angeles, Greater El Sereno, Greater Lakewood, Greater West Los Angeles, Hollywood, Italy-America, Los Angeles Area, Los Angeles Junior, Mid Valley, Miracle Mile, Regional Hispanic, Sherman Oaks, Swedish-American, United Chambers of the San Fernando Valley, Universal City North Hollywood, and West Hollywood. Convention and Visitors Bureaus: Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, LA INC., and Long Beach Area. Business Organizations: American Business Women's Association, Building Owners and Managers Association, Downtown Center Business Improvement District, Downtown Women's Club, Hospitality Sales and Marketing Assoc. Int'l - Los Angeles, L.A. Fashion District, Latin Business Association, The Rotary Club of Los Angeles, National Association Of Women Business Owners-Los Angeles, and NEW Entrepreneurs, Inc.

The event was co-sponsored by Market Wire, KABC Radio 790, LA Times' Reading by Nine, L.A. Downtown News, Westside Today, La Opinion, San Fernando Valley Business Journal, Conexion 360, 5 Minute Networking, Meetings & Mixers.com, and Owl Entertainment.
