Press Release Summary: At drijo.com an auction-based website can be found which
offers ride-sharing and car-pooling, making partial use of Google Maps(TM)
technology.

Press Release Body: Mountain View, CA, April 29, 2008 -- In a visually very
attractive way, the Internet platform offers a simple method to overlay and compare
routes of drivers and potential passengers. \"Using an auction-based method similar
to other popular auction sites should,\" according to the CEO Walter, \"animate more
drivers to offer rides, especially on highly demanded routes.\"

DriJo with its auction-based ride-sharing model assures that:

supply and demand of routes based on the starting and arrival address are overlaid
and compared automatically and shown on maps or satellite pictures, based on the
Google Maps(TM) database, practically all addresses, even remote ones in the
country-side, can be found - similarly to navigation devices,

the cost of ride sharing between driver and passenger is determined by supply and
demand via an auction, a registration of all users gives additional security,
feedback after traveling by both driver and passenger increases the trustworthiness
of both of them.

\"Our matching also allows to compare longer routes with shorter requests,\" according
to the CTO Peter, \"and the driver can even define an optional pick-up and drop-off
zone along the route to be more attractive to potential passengers.\"

Paid ride-sharing is popular in both the US and Europe. In the primary countries in
Europe and US/Canada it is estimated to be well over 50.000/day.

On a general basis the market of ride sharing agencies is presently badly
distributed between many small ad-based institutions. As a consequence it is very
difficult to find regional and long-distance trips in one agency. Additionally these
companies generate their own databases which in practically all cases do not include
addresses or smaller towns.

DriJo is presently owner-financed and focuses via its patented technology and the
innovative business model on the redefinition of the ride-sharing market.
