Jangl Partners with Plentyoffish.com to Connect Datersand Mobile Phones.

Jangl Enables Control and Privacy Over Phone, Text and Talking for Daters

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Jangl, Inc., the company connecting millions of online profiles and mobile phones, safely and privately, today announced it has teamed with the world's largest free online dating site, Plentyoffish.com,

to let online daters get to know each other via text messages, phone calls and voicemail -- all without sharing their real numbers.

In less than 15 months, Jangl[R] has teamed with popular social web communities like Facebook, Bebo, Match.com, Friendster, AdultFriendFinder, Tagged and Fubar to market and provision applications enabling text messaging, voice and voicemail for the tens of millions of members of those communities. Through this partnership, Jangl is delivering all three applications -- text messaging, voice and voicemails -- to Plentyoffish members, a first in the online dating sector.

Ranked as the U.S.' number one dating site by comScore1, Plentyoffish generates over 600,000 relationships a year in the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom. The free site receives an average of 1.3 billion page views per month, according to founder and CEO Markus Frind, who still personally runs the website from his apartment.

Plentyoffish is free because -- unlike most other online dating sites -- it is supported entirely by advertising. Likewise, Jangl for Plentyoffish.com will be free, supported by brief ads that will be inserted seamlessly alongside calls and messages, and which will still ensure the privacy of consumers' personal phone numbers, another first in both online dating and in Jangl's social communications market.

"Building popular and engaging services for the social web is all about harnessing the various ways people communicate contextually in their communities," said Michael Cerda, CEO and co-founder of Jangl, Inc. "Jangl has succeeded because we simply enable people to take their social web relationships with them when they leave the PC. Regardless of where our customers add Jangl apps online, they can quickly and easily communicate with their friends, and keep their online conversations going. Markus absorbed our market findings and applied it to his community within a matter of minutes. Plentyoffish.com membership is thriving, no doubt, because he is so in tune with his customers' needs."
