Multiplied Media Corporation (the "Company" or "Multiplied") (TSX VENTURE: MMC), a leading provider of mobile local search services, and UK-based local business search company Thomson Local are pleased to announce the launch of Thomson Local content in the Poynt application in the United Kingdom.

Poynt is a convenient and timesaving GPS-enabled application that connects consumers to local businesses, people, restaurants and movie theaters at the moment they want to buy or acquire products or services. Poynt gives consumers the ability to move beyond discovery of their local area to view movie trailers and showtimes, book dining reservations, view directions on a map, click-to-call the business or view their website.

Thomson Local is a UK-based local business search company. With over 1.8 million businesses listed, Thomson Local has the most comprehensive database of its kind in the UK. In addition, content is delivered to users of the Poynt mobile application when the user queries for local business or restaurant information.

"We are pleased to be offering Thomson Local data to our Poynt users in the United Kingdom," said Andrew Osis, CEO, Multiplied Media. "The addition of their listings strengthens both our business and restaurant searches, providing even more relevant information to people on the go."

"Mobile users want quick, easy and accurate search results when they are looking for a local business whilst on the move, and the Poynt application makes searching our content a simple and satisfying experience," said Richard Avery, Head of Digital and Development, Thomson Local. "Utilising mobile is just one way we are helping our customers extend their reach to be seen when local consumers are looking for them."

Poynt is a free application available to Android, iPhone and BlackBerry users in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States from m.poynt.com. It can also be downloaded directly from Android Market, the iTunes App Store and on BlackBerry® App World. Poynt is also available to BlackBerry smartphone users in Italy, France, Spain and Germany.
