Investment Validates Platform as Funding Comes in the Midst of a Down Economy

LOS ANGELES and MELBOURNE, Australia, April 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading social
viewing platform View2Gether.com, has secured its "Series A" investment round
from an investor group including View2Gether.com Chairman Jeff Sagansky and
View2Gether Pacific.  Today's announcement was made by View2Gether.com
President and CEO, Chris Adams.  Adams was the co-founder of noted production
company Participant Media and Producer of Facebook.com and Comcast's "Facebook
Diaries."

View2Gether.com is a social media platform that allows users to gather in an
online community to watch, share and customize video content all while
chatting with each other in real time.  The View2Gether.com platform gives
users the power to create personal "lounges" around content themes, subjects,
genres, personalities - whatever they like - in effect creating their own
"channels."  For partner sites, turning users into programmers offers vast
increases in traffic, video and page views and time on site, all of which
translate into increased revenues. View2Gether.com's first launch was with CBS
Interactive's www.adikted.tv (one of the leading broadband entertainment sites
in Australia) and has recently signed a universal license deal with Sony.  On
March 30th 2009, View2Gether.com launched with ABC Family and is currently
powering Viewing Parties for their hit show, "GREEK."

"We could not be more thrilled by this investment as it really validates our
business model, approach and will help us continue to secure market share,"
comments Adams. "The social viewing space is emerging rapidly and we are very
pleased to be at the forefront, redefining the way consumers engage video
content and social media."

View2Gether Pacific is an investment vehicle for several leading Australian
arts and entertainment investors including Film Producer Bruno Charlesworth,
Theatre Director Michael Kantor and Music Promoter Steve Castan.  "Our
investment in View2Gether.com is about the people.  Having entertainment and
new media heavyweights such as Chris Adams and Jeff Sagansky involved provides
great leadership and security," added Charlesworth.  "That combined with the
power and flexibility of the View2Gether.com platform has resulted in an
offering that's an unrivaled market leader.  Being involved with such an
intuitive, experienced and nimble operation was an opportunity we couldn't
afford to miss."

Additional investment capital in this round was secured from View2Gether.com's
Board Chairman Jeff Sagansky.  Sagansky, former CEO of Paxson Communications,
Co-President of Sony Pictures and President, CBS Television, is currently
Chairman of RHI Entertainment.  

View2Gether.com has offices in Los Angeles, California and Toronto, Canada.
