CORAL SPRINGS, Fla.--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--BizRocket.com, Inc.a™s (Pink Sheets: BZRT)Board of Directors has approved expansion of the Company's social networking holdings to include other Internet related businesses that it feels will be synergistic and lead to multiple cross-marketing opportunities under its corporate umbrella. The Company previously announced acquisition discussions with an email marketing company with the same strategies in tact. Recently, BizRocket has also targeted a specialized email marketing firm with an operating model similar to [ groupon.com ] and [ www.livingsocial.com ] that negotiates deep discounts from merchants in exchange for anticipated volume referrals. This business segment is an Internet driven multi-billion dollar market and rapidly growing.

"If you're worried that your kids aren't quite ready for Facebook, a Florida-based company hopes you'll give their new social-networking site a try. KidzRocket.com targets kids ages 9 to 12 and provides some of the same features as Facebook."

aWith talks on an IPO for both Groupon and Living Social, this is an opportune time to take advantage of our at-hand resources in this sector,a states BZRT CEO, Robert Williams. aMuch of the buzz in this industry was sparked by Groupona™s walk-out on Googlea™s $6 billion offer last year and now has an IPO in development valuing the firm at upward of $25 billion according to Bloomberg earlier this year. Our goals here are to develop effectively in line with fast-growing leaders such as Groupon and Social Living with a model similar, but with its own distinctive traits, toward direct competition or solid buy-out potential.a

Meanwhile, KidzRocket.com, the Company's operating social networking website for pre-teens is gaining wide attention. Florida WDBO Radio and The Palm Beach Post reported a new social networking site that is known as a FBL-facebook-like for tweens. The story continues: aIf you're worried that your kids aren't quite ready for Facebook, a Florida-based company hopes you'll give their new social-networking site a try.

Myriam Cohen, President states, aParental involvement begins immediately as the pre-teen invites friends to his/her KidzRocket.com page to correspond with and chat. To avoid predators, cyberbullying, and phishing scams, all invitees, buddies and friends their children communicate with on our pre-teen social networking site must be pre-approved by the child's parent. If/when the pre-teen leaves KidzRocket.com to move around the Internet, each site or category they attempt to visit is subject to parental approval.

"Parents know exactly what's going on while their children have fun with friends online. Our proprietary cutting edge patent pending technology meets or exceeds current standards for Internet safety sites for children and pre-teens. From the website platform to the sign up process, we have the safeguards in place to ensure children are communicating only with pre-approved friends and buddies and visiting only pre-approved Internet sites or categories,a concludes Cohen.
