Jumbuck's 'Fast Flirting' Wins ME Community Award


SAN FRANCISCO and LONDON, September 21 /PRNewswire/ --

Jumbuck Entertainment Ltd. was awarded "Best Community Service Provider"
at this week's ME Awards event. Jumbuck took home the honor for its wildly
popular mobile dating service, Fast Flirting(TM). Fast Flirting is a
real-time, text-based mobile dating service that gives users ten minutes to
impress their flirting partner.

"In assessing Jumbuck as the winner in the Best Community Service
Provider category, the judges were struck by the breadth of coverage Jumbuck
offers, and specifically its Fast Flirting service, which gives a high degree
of customization to its users," said Tim Green, executive editor of Mobile
Entertainment.

The ME Awards event, organized and hosted by Mobile Entertainment
magazine, celebrates innovation and achievement in the mobile content sector
in the United Kingdom. The awards are voted upon by a judging panel of some
400 industry executives.

Fast Flirting was launched in late 2002 and today is available on most
major wireless carriers in the USA, Canada and UK. On any given day, over
40,000 users log in to the service connected by mobile networks around the
world, to text chat and exchange pictures, emoticons, and animations. Users
can choose a flirting partner based on age, location and preference, and then
engage in private text conversations.

"We're thrilled to receive this prestigious award from Mobile
Entertainment," said Noemi Kubiak, Jumbuck's SVP of business development in
Europe. "Fast Flirting represents the convergence of several popular
phenomena -- social networking, speed dating and mobile chat -- to a simple
and fun form of mobile entertainment. We believe a lot more people will use
their mobile phone in future to access dating services rather than use the
wired web."
