New Web Site Meets Educational and Social Needs of Students
For Immediate Release

ANAHEIM, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/March 1, 2008 --- Medmania, Inc. has launched Campusbug.com
(\'http://www.campusbug.com\'), a new site geared toward providing a single
destination for the educational and social needs of students. Campusbug.com is a
prime resource for high school and college students because it has the means to
improve both their academic and social lives. The Web site already has over 200,000
visitors each month and provides an alternative to popular networks such as Myspace
and Facebook.

Users begin by creating a profile, which allows them to share messages, upload
hundreds of photos, post blogs, organize schedules and meet new people. The Web site
also provides an expansive list of privacy features to protect members from sexual
predators. Other popular social networking Web sites have already been banned from
school districts all over the country and have been linked to several sexual
predator cases.

\"As a certified teacher, I will insure that Campusbug.com incorporates educational
curriculum to promote intellectual growth for all students,\" says Neal Rochlin,
Campusbug.com's vice president of Educational Development. \"I also have a commitment
to assure that it is a safe social network.\"

Registration to the site is free. Membership includes full access to all of the
educational features that Campusbug.com has to offer. The Question Bank feature
allows members to post and answer questions on any topic they want. This is a great
way for students to interact and learn from one another. Studies have shown that
peer-assisted learning helps improve grades, helps students better clarify concepts
and gives them an opportunity to air concerns away from the teaching staff.

The Web site also provides free online practice tests so that members can take
practice exams like the High School Exit Exam, SAT, ACT, GMAT and LSAT. This feature
alone can be a huge money-saver - books and courses that teach proper test-takings
skills are often very pricey and time-consuming. The site also offers a feature that
generates bibliographies in several different formats including APA, MLA and
Chicago. \"Our Web site provides a place that is both useful and engaging for
students. Our goal is to change the way information is learned, shared and applied,\"
says Mel Smith, chief operating officer.

Founder and CEO Vak Sambath says, \"Providing effective communication for all
individuals is our goal, and our innovation has made such a vision possible. We are
committed to continuing the integration between social networking and online
education, and to developing future services and products that meet every
individual\'s needs and quality of service.\"
