Gorilla Nation to Rep Horseland - Online Community of Teen Girls Supported by CBS TV Series

LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Gorilla Nation (www.gorillanation.com), the world's largest online
ad rep firm, announced today that it has been selected to exclusively
represent the online ad inventory for Horseland.com
(www.horseland.com), a multiplayer game and community set in a virtual
world targeting girls ages 8-18.

   Horseland is a robust social network where users can design,
raise, show and share their horses with an enthusiastic, engaged
community. The site attracts several hundred thousand users each month
who spend an average of 16 minutes with an average of 60 pageviews per
visit. Besides the primary audience of young girls, their siblings,
parents and grandparents are often involved in the experience. These
adults tend to be well educated and wealthy, willing to spend money on
their daughter's expensive hobbies.

   "Horseland is the ideal addition to the GNKids portfolio," stated
Angela S. Cooper, Sr. Director of Business Development. "It's a
prestigious destination that allows GN to tap into the elusive
teen/tween girls audience and reach a highly desirable set of
consumers and influencers."

   The GNKids offering currently includes such major properties as
Kidzworld (www.kidzworld.com), MarvelKids (www.marvelkids.com),
StarWarsKids (www.starwarskids.com), Millsberry (www.millsberry.com)
and Mattel's Barbie.com (www.barbie.com) and PollyPocket
(www.pollypocket.com) brands.

   "Horseland" is also a national broadcast TV program which airs on
CBS as a part of its Saturday morning KEWLopolis line-up. As a cross
media brand, Horseland enjoys strong awareness among its targets and
represents a credible environment for marketing messages.
