Leading Chinese Mobile Search Provider Acquires Leading
English Mobile Search Services in China

   SHANGHAI, China, June 13 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- mInfo(R)
Inc. 
( http://www.minfo.com ), a leading Chinese mobile search
provider, announces acquisition of Guanxi SMS, the most
popular mobile search service for foreigners in China.  The
combined company takes a dominant lead in the China market
by integrating the local market prowess and resources of
mInfo with the proven revenue model, brand recognition and
loyal user base of the Guanxi service.

   "Adding Guanxi to the mInfo family is all about
value creation for our users and customers," said
Alvin Wang Graylin, CEO, mInfo Inc. "By combining
forces, we are solidifying mInfo's lead in the marketplace
and expanding mInfo's reach into hundreds of thousands of
high-valued expatriate users and thousands of partner
merchants around the country."

   mInfo is the leading mobile search service provider in
China, and the only company offering mobile search services
via SMS, WAP, IM and embedded client with support for
natural language queries in Chinese pinyin and English. 
Since its founding in 2005, mInfo has extended to over
three dozen life oriented mobile search services and has
expanded geographical coverage to 59 of the largest cities
throughout China.  Guanxi has been the preferred mobile
search service for foreign expatriates in China since 2002
offering local directory services using English and Chinese
in 20 major cities in China via SMS.  As a benefit of this
transaction, Guanxi will now have a new unified SMS code of
95882929 across all four mobile carriers in China.

    "We are truly excited about this deal with
mInfo," said Kirk Jobsz, CEO, Mailman Media Group.
"We've been the leader in English mobile search in
China since 2002 and always had aspirations to offer much
more. Now with the backing of mInfo we can realize Guanxi's
true potential. It's definitely a win-win for both companies
as well as for our current users and advertisers."

   With the Summer Olympic Games approaching in 2008, the
English content and search capabilities offered by the
Guanxi service will be invaluable to ensuring an enjoyable
stay by the masses of foreign visitors expected to arrive
in China.  "With the Guanxi acquisition and the
breadth of mInfo's mobile service offerings (ie. sports
scores, news, venues, entertainment, travel, etc.), we will
certainly be well prepared to meet the needs of even the
most demanding Olympic visitor next year," said, Mr.
Graylin.
