Press Release Summary: Half a million movie enthusiasts rate top movies of 2007
using Trusted Opinion's Social Recommendation EngineT

Press Release Body: Palo Alto, Calif., Jan 31, 2008 - Trusted Opinion
(www.TrustedOpinion.com) has published the results of 2007's top-rated movies
according to its 500,000 member-strong community.

Trusted Opinion is a free online community that brings people and their network of
friends together to share opinions and receive personalized recommendations around
movies, TV shows, and DVDs. The company's Social Recommendation EngineT weighs the
opinions of people in the user's social network highest to deliver more relevant
recommendations that are targeted to user's preferences and tastes.

Movie opinions are by their nature, highly personal, and traditional critic's
top-ten lists do a poor job in providing reliable recommendations to diverse, global
audiences. Because Trusted Opinion delivers recommendations based on the opinions of
a person's peer group, demographic factors such as age, gender, and geographic
location are automatically factored into the recommendation.

Trusted Opinion\'s most popular films of 2007 based on the most ratings:
1. Pirates of the Caribbean 3
2. Spider-Man 3
3. Shrek the Third
4. Ghost Rider
5. Bridge to Terabithia
6. Transformers
7. Live Free or Die Hard
8. Ratatouille
9. Next
10. The Bourne Ultimatum

Trusted Opinion's platform also drives recommendations and interest in movies from
back-catalogs:

7. Spider-Man 3
8. The Shawshank Redemption

Trusted Opinion has members in 150 countries, and U.S.-resident member's top-rated

Trusted Opinion's Social Recommendation EngineT uniquely promotes the recommendation
of content across genres and decades. The youthfulness of Trusted Opinion's member
base, 83 percent are under 34, is evident when compared to the traditional critics
top-ten lists, which are dominated by the drama genre (critic's awards: Awards
Daily).
