"We are excited to partner with ¡Hola! Media Group to bring PeerMe's technology to
the Spanish speaking Internet user, as they are the fastest growing population in

and bi-lingual Internet users with free PC-to-PC calling and instant messaging
services. Keep in mind that multi-language options are also available, the Spanish
version joins the previously available English, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese
versions."

"Similar to the impact of mobile telephones, the software available at
www.PeerMe.com/Hola allows computer users to communicate with their network of
friends, family and colleagues anywhere, anytime - free "en Español." \"PeerMe
designed the ¡Hola! Spanish download web site www.PeerMe.com/Hola with our community
in mind, it can be a purely Spanish or purely bilingual language experience,\" said
Lozano-Yancy.

\"This launch is a significant step in our communications expansion plan. In
conjunction with the launch of the ¡Hola! Spanish portal we are looking forward to
