June 16, 2008

Online Automotive Social Media Site Provides Access to Car Shoppers Readyto Buy

SEATTLE, June 16 /PRNewswire/ — CarDomain, the web’s largest social
media site for car enthusiasts, today launched an online automotive
marketplace, linking advertisers to car shoppers who are highly likely to
purchase a vehicle.

CarDomain recently passed the 600,000 mark in member-posted vehicle
profiles and attracts more than 3.5 million monthly unique visitors. Among
online automotive resources, CarDomain is among the top four sites for
percentage of visitors somewhat likely or very likely to buy a vehicle in
the next six months, according to the most recent comScore Plan Metrix
report (1/08). It has a higher percentage of visitors somewhat or likely to
buy in the next six months than Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds or AOL Autos.

Offering these highly desirable car shoppers a marketplace with vehicle
listings extending across all of their interests was a natural evolution
for the web site, according to Rajan Krishnamurty, CEO.

“The social media phenomenon has developed passionate audiences, such
as the millions of car enthusiasts engaged in conversations at CarDomain,”
Krishnamurty said. “Our visitors are highly likely to be in the market for
a vehicle, so we are providing a valuable service for car seller and car
buyer alike.”

The CarDomain.com marketplace will be powered by Vast.com, a leading
provider of vertical search technology to the online auto industry. While
users browse, Vast’s platform will automatically present cars for sale in
their area that best match what they are looking for, along with detailed
drill-down by make, model, and feature of over 3 million cars available for
sale.

“CarDomain and Vast provide a seamless match of consumer to seller,”
said Kevin Laws, founder and CEO of Vast.com. “Together we are making the
entire car-buying transaction more efficient, finding the best car for the
consumer and the most likely buyer for the seller, all within CarDomain’s
community.”
