messaging.

Press Release Body = November 07, 2006 -- London's Leicester Square was home
recently to the world's biggest blind date, bringing together hundreds of couples
using a distinctly hi-tech Cupid's arrow - SMS text messaging. Organised by dating
service Smartdater and powered by txtNation's leading mobile technology platform,
mFUSION, the event was the first of its kind and on this scale to use the ubiquitous
text message as a way to find love on an otherwise chilly day in Central London.

Featured on ITV's London Tonight bulletin, the event attracted the attention of over
600 men and women across the capital and beyond. With mobile phones enjoying over
100% penetration in the UK, the sign-up process for the big date was particularly
accessible, personal and secure. By sending a simple text, individuals register
their interest before Smartdater matches couples together, informing them of their
date by a text on the day.

The event was hosted by the Movies and Dates company, specialists in bringing
like-minded people together to watch films and to drink and relax at an exclusive
after-party. Targeted at all types of relationships, there was the potential for
serious relationships and casual friendships to develop on the night. Judging by the
hundreds of people who joined in, the event was a great success.

It suitably coincided with the premiere of new British comedy "Scenes of a Sexual
Nature", which stars Ewan McGregor, Catherine Tate and Oscar®-nominee Sophie
Okonedo.

Smartdater, a mobile-based dating service, joined forces with leading mobile
messaging provider txtNation to power this world-class event. txtNation supplied
their proven technology solution, mFUSION, which has had great success in empowering
international corporations like Red Bull, AOL and the World Cup 2006.
