Bccthis Announces US$500,000 Seed Funding and Releases Public Beta

LOS ANGELES, February 2 - Bccthis, an innovative contextual messaging company which provides new
modes of communication for email, micro-blogging and social networking
services, today announced its official launch with a public beta for
Microsoft Outlook and Twitter and plans to launch on the BlackBerry platform
next month. The company also announced it raised US$500,000 in seed funding
that includes participation from private investors.

Bccthis represents an evolution in the way we communicate. The technology
extends capabilities and improves communication over digital media platforms
by enabling a layer of added context to messaging services. The product suite
is based on patent-pending technology that allows users to send secure
private messages to selected recipients while simultaneously sending a
message to a larger audience.

"Email has hardly changed since the first email was sent 40 years ago,"
said Dave Waldman, CEO of Bccthis. "Each messaging platform works more or
less the same way, requiring users to send the same message to each
recipient, despite the level of information possessed by, or relationship to,
each recipient. Bccthis allows people to manage this information and
relationship disparity in a fresh and intuitive fashion."

The Bccthis Outlook plug-in allows users to safely send personalized
private messages to selected recipients in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields along
with their original email. Bccth.is, a full-fledged Twitter client, provides
an interface to send direct messages to specific recipients along with the
original tweet.

Both the Outlook plug-in and Twitter client provide an entirely safe and
secure platform for consumers to use and are available in beta today at
www.bccthis.com. The Bccthis BlackBerry email extension will be
available for free through the BlackBerry app store later this month, and
will allow users to compose Bccthis messages directly from their mobile
devices.

The seed funding will be used to continue ongoing development of the
Bccthis product suite for other popular email services allowing users to
compose Bccthis messages on a wide range of clients and devices.
