SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 18, 2009) - Getfugu Inc. (OTCBB:
GFGU) the next generation mobile search tool, has today announced the
addition of entertainment veteran Michael Jay Solomon to its Board of
Directors. Solomon is an industry pioneer and a respected visionary
having been responsible for creating television syndication through
Telepictures Corporation (NASDAQ), the company he co-founded in 1978
(Chairman/CEO) which went on to become the largest television
syndication company in the U.S.

Solomon's company Telepictures later merged to form Lorimar
Telepictures Corp. (American Stock Exchange) and Solomon became the
new company's President. With his partners Solomon led Lorimar
Telepictures to become the largest television production and
distribution company of U.S. television syndication product in the
world, producing and distributing world renowned TV series such as
"Dallas," "Falcon Crest," and "Knot's Landing" amongst many others.
Lorimar Telepictures was later acquired by Warner Bros. and Solomon
became President of Warner Bros. International Television, heading up
the company's sales and marketing to television, cable and satellite
companies internationally. Under his leadership, Warner Bros. became
the largest (by 2.5 times) TV program distribution company in the
world. He was also responsible for investments in the
telecommunications area internationally. He is a co-founder of HBO
OLE, the leading pay-TV service in Latin America, and opened the door
to Western programming in China, Russia, India and many more
third-world countries. He was the first international distributor of
The Grammy's, MTV and "E" Entertainment Channel, and is a Founder of
the American Film Market Association.

Previous to this, Solomon had worked for 8 years at United Artists'
and 14 years at MCA. He currently serves on the Board of Overseers of
New York University's Stern School of Business for more than twenty
years.

In more recent years Solomon has ventured into business with
technology and new media companies, looking for the next big
revolution that would change business as significantly as television
syndication had. Prior to his involvement with Getfugu, other new
media companies he has founded or operated include DreamStream,
Shanghai Media Group Broadband (SMGBB), Vuemax Ltd and Anthem
Digital, a global media and technology company creating and
distributing content, video games and social networks via current and
future media, including a new channel focusing on health and
wellness. Of particular note is SMGBB (Shanghai Media Group
Broadband) which streams Chinese language broadcast networks from
China onto the internet, throughout China and outside of China.
Solomon has an exclusive contract with Shanghai Media Group for the
next ten years. Thus far, twenty channels have been launched in China
and nine outside of China.

With more than 50 years' experience in the entertainment industry
Solomon brings exceptional expertise to the Getfugu board that will
help further drive the technology throughout the world.

"I'm delighted to be joining the board of Getfugu and to be a part of
this impressive team and this ground-breaking technology, I truly
feel it has the potential to make a big difference," said Solomon.
"One of my first goals is to introduce VRLs and hot-spotting to my
partners on our network in China, it's a natural fit and I can
foresee huge revenue potential."

"It's great to hear that we will be adding the expertise of Michael
Solomon to the board of Getfugu," said Getfugu CEO, Bernie Stolar.
"He is an exceptional individual and a veteran in the industry, he
will certainly bring many benefits to the board."
