Denver, CO—December 13, 2006—Teligence, North America's leader in telephone-based social networking, teams with Community Connect, the leading provider of online social niche networks, to provide Community Connect members with an avenue to make a real connection with others. Making online dating a more personable way to meet a potential mate, Teligence is providing a way for would-be couples to hear each other talk.

Members of Community Connect's BlackPlanet.com and MiGente.com are the first to realize this evolution in social networking. Leveraging the advanced audio technology and existing voice communities in Vibeline and FonoChat, two of Teligence's voice-enabled social networks, Community Connect members will talk live with their community, with all the safety and convenience they enjoy online.

Vibeline, the fastest growing chatline in North America for singles who identify with the urban lifestyle, will voice-enable Community Connect's online community at BlackPlanet.com, the largest dedicated African-American social networking website. And MiGente.com, Community Connect's online space for the young Latino community, is teaming with FonoChat, to bring the Hispanic/Latino community together.

Being able to chat to a potential date, with the anonymous and safety features of online dating, provides a more natural communication style; important features to the future growth of Internet dating services.

"Each month, Teligence handles over 18 million calls from singles looking to connect with like-minded people in their local area for companionship and social interaction. Community Connect has more than 16 million registered members looking to meet each other in a common, national forum. The relationship between our companies makes perfect sense," said Teligence Chief Operating Officer, Murray Hoban.

"Through our partnership with Teligence, BlackPlanet.com and MiGente.com members will be excited to know they can now evolve their connections naturally. Writing your profile and reading about others is a great indicator as to whether you're going to get along; the next logical step is to chat over the phone. Their profile might sound great, but you can tell a lot about a person by their voice. It makes them real," said Ben Sun, CEO of Community Connect.

Teligence's voice-enabled social networking brands give online social communities higher-quality, more intuitive communication about a prospective relationship and are a safe way to communicate before meeting in public.

"Its not until you hear a voice that you determine whether you have chemistry with someone. Vibeline and Fonochat deliver a new, intimate and immediate dimension to the online social networking world, as well as a new revenue stream for website operators like Community Connect," said Teligence's Co-CEO and Founder, Rob Madigan.
