MatchNet cooperates with KaZaA as Increase of subscribers Anticipated

MatchNet, a worldwide leader, and only independent publicly traded company in the online dating sector, announces it entered into an agreement to exclusively provide an online dating channel on KaZaA (owned and operated by Sharman Networks, Ltd.) KaZaA is the leading peer-to-peer (P2P) digital media sharing software with 186 million downloads thus far and an active community of 70 million users. The agreement provides for staged integration into the KaZaA application. The Co-Branded content for KaZaA's Love & Dating will be powered by AmericanSingles.com. The channel will provide free profiles and premium subscriptions to all the KaZaA users around the world.

“We think that KaZaA is one of the largest online communities in the world and foresee a great potential in this deal” stated Joe Shapira, Chairman & CEO of MatchNet® plc: “It is an important distribution channel for our AmericanSingles® brand and we are glad to have consummated our negotiations for this placement. Further, placements of such magnitude have only recently become an option for us, following the deployment of our new global technology architecture that enhanced our scalability, augmented our feature set and substantially shortened our time-to-market for new features and deployments. We are of the opinion that AmericanSingles.com is currently the most advanced among the leading online dating sites and this helped us overcome the competition for this placement.”
