TAMPA, FL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/08 -- eFUEL EFN, Corp. (PINKSHEETS: EFUL), owner anddeveloper ofrevenue-generating, Internet-based assets, announced today that researchersat the Company's I-nexworldwide subsidiary have been developingproprietary, virtual dating software for the Company'soutRAGEousEncounters.com and PositiveLove.com online dating Websites. Thisvirtual dating platform will be introduced in early 2009 to the over 8.5million members of eFUEL's online dating Websites -- a number increasedrecently via strategic acquisitions made by the Company. Virtual onlinedating is being pegged by industry analysts as the next big trend in thedevelopment cycle of the now over $600 million online dating industry.

The online dating business model has evolved considerably since itsinaugural years in the mid-1990s -- around the same time the Internet firstexperienced widespread consumer participation. The first model to emergeand experience success within the online dating industry was the "long bar"model, a profile browsing model which is best exemplified by companies suchas Match, True and Yahoo! Personals. Next up was the "long test" model, thebread and butter of companies such as eHarmony and PerfectMatch. This iswhere participants undergo some form of compatibility test conducted by thedating company to determine their potential matches. These primary onlinedating business models, while enormously successful, are unintentionallyconducive to social isolation and other odd behaviors. Ultimately it comesdown to good judgment and a member's intuition to ensure a fun, safeinteraction with their chosen date or "match."

More recently, however, new trends have emerged within the online datingsegment that further assure consumers participating that their eventualinteraction will be a safe and positive experience. One of these is knownas the "community" approach. This approach was born on social networkingsites such as Facebook, Friendster and MySpace, as an answer to thewidespread misuse and abuse of these communication portals by predators andother miscreants. The "community" approach to online dating involves asingle person's friends and even family getting involved in the process,searching profiles, checking potential dates out, and even matching theirsingle friend up with compatible people they uncover among the throngs ofpotential mates. The community approach has inevitably provided onlinedating customers with enhanced safety, and is now being incorporated tosome degree by most of the major online dating companies.

Another safety-enhancing trend emerging more recently is the one that eFUELand its dating Websites are tactfully building and integrating into theirplatforms. Virtual Dating, as it is being called, affords online singles achance to interact with one another on a virtual level, prior to meeting inperson. With video chat technologies now experiencing widespread use, eFUELis developing software that will enable online daters to take fulladvantage of the virtual encounter concept. To further ensure its members asafe dating experience, eFUEL's sites will also be offering a freebackground check to its members. This will enable members to verify thattheir potential dating partner is who they say they are.

eFUEL predicts that by incorporating these new proprietary technologies andprograms into its online dating package, the Company should generateapproximately a 4% to 10% member retention rate. At the $9.99 per monthmember fee planned by eFUEL, the Company expects to realize over $40Million dollars annually from these new offerings based on its 8.5 millionmembers as of November 2008.

Imagine meeting your prospective date for a coffee in a romantic virtualcafé on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. Not only exchanging emails, orspeaking briefly on the phone, but seeing and hearing your date online asyou interact with each other in any number of virtual settings. Most willagree this is a sound step to take, prior to meeting your blind date inperson.

eFUEL plans to roll out its new proprietary virtual dating software inearly 2009. More information on these technologies will be made availableprior to launch.
