17.5 million Unique visitors in August viewed nearly 32 million pages; fastest growing new media news site in the world

SAN FRANCISCO, September 16, 2010 - Allvoices.com, the largest citizen media news site, today announced
record growth in August, with 7.5 million unique visitors and more than 31
million page views. News consumers are drawn by the work of more than 410,000
registered citizen reporters from around the globe who generate news, opinion
and feature stories, helping make Allvoices a top 1000 web destination,
according to Quantcast.

As a result, Allvoices' content is broader and features something for
everyone. Reports from hyper-local to global locales include everything from
politics, sports, entertainment, business, science and technology, world
conflict, health, humor and more.

The success of Allvoices' new model for news is attributable to the
industry's only "Automated Newsroom," a system which collects incoming
reports from users and news feeds and presents the content in a multimedia
format, like an automatic Wikipedia model around the contribution. Each story
is then optimized for search engines and social distribution over networks
like Twitter and Facebook, creating the highest average page views per post,
per contributor in the new media news space.

Allvoices contributors enjoy more page views per post than any other
social news site. They fall into three distinct categories: Stringers,
Reporters and Anchors. Stringers are new to the site and are just beginning
to prove themselves and build a following. Reporters have a sizeable and
growing "fan" base, and are proving their reporting skills and credibility.
Anchors are experienced contributors, having achieved the highest credibility
ratings, become trusted sources and grown large communities around their
work. Some Anchors on Allvoices earned more than US$2000 in August alone.

Last month, Stringers contributed an average of 9.3 stories and enjoyed
221 page views per post. Reporters averaged 15.7 reports in August and saw
their work viewed 432.8 times per post. Allvoices Anchors are the busiest
citizen reporters in the industry. Each contributed an average of 47.13 posts
in August, with an average of 860 page views.

"Allvoices has proven that its Automated Newsroom performance-based news
model not only works, but is thriving. Our month-over-month growth is
phenomenal, as shown by the numbers we're reporting today," said Amra Tareen,
founder and CEO, Allvoices. "We've demonstrated massive scale and engagement
while maintaining very low costs, and we've been able to do this with US$7.5M
in venture investment raised during the turbulent economic environment, and
at a time in the industry when the word 'news' is considered a bad category
for investment. Allvoices is now raising an additional five million dollars
to help it scale, build a brand and focus on monetization."
