LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - July 31, 2007) - Pringo Networks, an emerging social
networking infrastructure company, announced today a partnership with
CoMedia Corporation (PINKSHEETS : CMTN ) to incorporate social networking
components into its recently launched site for American football alumni at
http://www.11on11.com.
The rich media website was recently announced by CoMedia's wholly owned
subsidiary, American Football Alumni, Inc. It is set to launch in
mid-September and will feature member profiles, blogging, media sharing,
forums and more.
"An affinity website such as the American Football Alumni Members Online
Community is exactly the kind of community that can really benefit from
social networking," states Pringo Networks President Gary Hall. "The new
community will gather people who share the same interests, offering them a
forum to interact with each other online -- an opportunity that enhances
the goal of the AFA Association to give football alumni a voice in American
football culture."
The American Football Alumni Association takes the team experience of
brotherhood, passion and dedication off the field for former players and
coaches as it pertains to their lives and future. By providing a portal
for footballers to share a common bond, the Association is creating an
online forum that provides a support system, needed assistance, and a
continued presence for a team of individuals who are less visible than
their newer counterparts.
"We're happy to enter into a relationship with Pringo Networks to create a
social network that is both powerful and useful for all of our members,"
said Curtis A. Watts III, president of American Football Alumni. "The wide
array of social networking components offered by Pringo in a single
platform will allow us to concentrate on our nationwide grassroots
marketing campaign and leave the technology in safe hands. We are also
delighted to be working with Gary Hall, who has been a pioneer in the
social media space for over five years, including his leadership at
Reunion.com."

ABOUT PRINGO NETWORKS
Pringo Networks was created in 2002 when two visionaries saw the potential
of the Internet to be a gathering place for individuals around the world to
communicate and share common interests. After collecting over 400 domain
names and building each site from scratch, Harvard Young and Nouriel
Yazdinian's idea was to create a scalable and fully extendable platform
that would allow new features to be added on without interrupting existing
website functions. Pringo currently has over 400 features and is
continually adding new ones, all of which can be added to current or new
websites and be in the market place in just weeks time. Pringo recently
recruited Reunion.com's Gary Hall to join the team as President of the
company and help pave the way for Pringo's future success. The Pringo
philosophy centers around the vision and technology that helps the client
penetrate their particular market utilizing the best software platform and
keeping the client current with the fast-moving pace of the Internet. For
