Press Release Summary: Free online community brings people and their network of
friends together to share opinions and receive personalized recommendations

Press Release Body: Palo Alto, Calif., October 26, 2007 - Trusted Opinion
(www.trustedopinion.com) announced that it has raised $1.3 million in its first
round of funding. TrustedOpinion.com drives consumer confidence by creating
reliable, personalized recommendations based on the opinions of your network of
friends.

Trusted Opinion recognizes that opinions of one's friends are more meaningful of
those of a stranger. By weighing the opinions of people in one\'s social network
highest, TrustedOpinion.com members experience higher quality and more relevant
recommendations. The site is currently focused on movies and television series and
will introduce new categories in the near future.

Proceeds from the funding will accelerate Trusted Opinion's impressive growth. Since
the official launch of its beta site in February 2007, the company has developed a
strong following - with more than 350,000 registered members and over 3,000 new
members added each day.

TrustedOpinion.com is different from other review sites by providing a personalized
experience with tailored recommendations unique to the user. Unlike other sites
that provide ratings based on the average opinion of everyone on a site, Trusted
Opinion\'s patent-pending recommendation algorithm places greater value on the
opinions of friends, and friends of friends, up to three degrees.

When members log into TrustedOpinion.com, they can access top-rated theatrical
releases and DVDs ranked based on the opinions of their circle of friends.
Personalized movie scores are displayed, along with a visually rich, 3-D \"Ratings
RadarT\" that displays a member\'s circle of friends and their individual ratings for
the film. The Ratings RadarT is also used to explore friends\' recent activity and
discover and meet new people who share the same tastes.
