SNAP Interactive's Applications Surpass 5 Million Users on Facebook(R) Platform
SNAP Interactive's Applications Surpass 5 Million Users on Facebook(R) Platform

NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 12/12/07 -- SNAP Interactive, Inc., formerly eTwine Holdings, Inc. (OTCBB: ETWI), is pleased to announce that its applications called 'Are You Interested' and 'Meet New People' built on Facebook Platform have surpassed 5 million total installations. The 'Are You Interested' application, which was launched on August 14th, previously announced an installation count of 3 million in early November.

"A sixty-seven percent increase in the install count of an additional 2 million users during the past month for 'Are You Interested' is very gratifying," said Clifford Lerner, SNAP's CEO. Lerner continued, "We are delighted by the growth that our applications continue to experience and consider 5 million users to be a significant milestone. More than 500,000 unique users visit our applications on a daily basis. We look forward to further innovation and the addition of many exciting new features to the application."

The success of our applications, 'Are You Interested,' and 'Meet New People,' has opened up several new revenue streams for SNAP Interactive as a result of the commercial opportunity that has emerged from Facebook Platform. SNAP Interactive continues to explore these opportunities and as always seeks to maximize and enhance shareholder value.

In conjunction with its name change, SNAP Interactive, Inc. is presently waiting for FINRA to process the change and issue the company a new ticker symbol.

Facbook Platform is a development system that enables companies and developers to build applications for the Facebook website, where all of Facebook's users can interact with them. More than 50 percent of Facebook users return to the site each day, providing unparalleled distribution potential for applications and the opportunity to build a business that is highly relevant to people's lives. With more than 58 million active users, Facebook is the sixth most trafficked website in the United States.
