CITYVOTER EXPANDS PARTNERSHIP WITH POST-NEWSWEEK, WELCOMES JACKSONVILLE AND HOUSTON STATIONS

Boston, MA -December 22, 2008

CityVoter.com, the leading social media platform for the insider's scoop, today announced an expansion of its partnership with Post-Newsweek. CityVoter.com, already working with Post-Newsweek's Detroit Station WDIV, has added WJXT Jacksonville and KPRC Houston to its network of local media partners. It provides each of these stations with the CityVoter social platform, allowing insiders who know a city best to share their insight with information, ratings, and reviews on the everyday decisions that affect people's daily lives. Jacksonville launched in August 2008 and Houston launches today.

CityVoter.com works with traditional media companies-television, radio and newspapers-to help them successfully converge with digital media, engage and monetize local audiences, and immerse their brands into the local social experience. Each partner launches with a contest inviting consumers to browse, vote for, comment on, and nominate their favorite local businesses, providing the insider's scoop on everyday decisions, eliminating the guesswork from daily life.

"We are looking forward to extending our partnership with CityVoter," commented Kerry Moylan, Post-Newsweek's Vice-President of Sales. "We've been very happy with the results to date and have found this digital product to be a strong offering for local advertisers in each of our cities."

"Post-Newsweek has been a terrific partner," said Josh Walker, CityVoter CEO and founder. "They are extremely forward-thinking and innovative - especially on the sales front. They've been one of our most successful partners. We're pleased to be delivering valuable products that can command such a strong ROI in this economy."
