    LOS ANGELES & NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 17, 2011--Pocketweb

    Ltd., a global, award-winning innovator that integrates secure

    location-based and social media services across web and mobile

    platforms, has announced the U.S. market launch of their Pocket

    Life(R) Platform. By supporting multiple languages, complex

    organizational structures, and open interfaces for back end

    integration, the Pocket Life(R) Platform has become a trusted and

    powerful solution for international partners across industries.

    Pocketweb is on a strong growth path working with clients from the

    Telco, Automotive, Disaster Warning, and Retail industries. Recently,

    the company has become one of the leading providers for location-based

    solution to reduce CO2 emissions, most notably with Volvo Group.

    "Our focus with Pocket Life(R) is to help organizations extend their

    brands, initiatives and customer base in a location-based, social

    media context. By selecting proven, white label modules and features,

    any organization can now provide seamless services across iPhone,

    Android and other mobile platforms," remarked Michael Heinzel,

    Managing Director of Pocketweb. "After much success in both the

    European and Australasia markets, we believe extending our reach to

    the U.S. is a natural progression and tremendous growth opportunity."

    Added Alexander Koppen, Managing Director of Pocketweb: "With all of

    the hype surrounding privacy issues across online and mobile

    communities, our platform could not be more timely. We have spent the

    past several years perfecting not only the location-based technology

    but also deeply understanding its implications on privacy; our

    solution creates a safe environment for brands to take advantage of

    white label, geo-location, and social networking features."

    The Pocket Life(R) Platform provides organizations with professional

    mobile services ranging from basic modules for registration,

    authentication, or contact management to high-end media, messaging, or

    location-based services. Over the next few months, Pocketweb will roll

    out several features to enhance the Pocket Life(R) Platform as it

    readies itself for stateside initiatives.
