Fund.com Acquires Weston Capital Management Fund.com Expands its Operations to Include Originating, Developing and Distributing Hedge Funds and Actively Managed ETFs NEW YORK, March 30, 2010 -- Fund.com, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: FNDM) announced here today that effective as of March 29, 2010, it has acquired Weston Capital Management, LLC, an originator and distributor of hedge funds. Founded in 1993 and headquartered in West Palm Beach, FL., Weston Capital earns fees on assets exceeding $1.0 billion under management. It has three lines of business: it originates and markets fund of funds; it originates and markets single-manager hedge funds; and it raises capital to seed new hedge funds. In 2010, Weston Capital and Harcourt AG formed a strategic alliance for investment manager identification and fund seeding. Harcourt, a $4.5 billion alternative investments manager that is majority owned by Vontobel Group, the $70 billion Swiss banking group, is a leading global advisor of alternative investments for institutional investors. Weston Capital founder Albert Hallac continues as CEO of Weston Capital, directing its day-to-day operations and business strategy. In addition, Fund.com Chairman Joseph J. Bianco will become Chairman of Weston Capital. Weston Capital also has offices in London and New York City. Fund.com CEO Gregory Webster and Weston Capital CEO Albert Hallac said, "We believe with the Weston Capital operations when aligned with Fund.com's majority interest in AdvisorShares, a developer and marketer of actively managed ETFs, Fund.com will be able to significantly accelerate increases of assets under management since it now has the ability to seed, originate and distribute hedge funds as well as seed, originate, develop and distribute actively traded ETFs to institutional and retail investors. AdvisorShares, Bethesda, MD, is one of the few companies that has been able to obtain approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission to create actively managed ETFs. The ETF sector has assets more than $1 trillion and is the fastest growing segment of the fund management industry." Webster added, "With Weston Capital's proven capability to seed new fund products, combined with its seasoned global institutional sales force, Fund.com is now positioned to capture revenue streams from an array of hedge fund and actively managed ETFs. Importantly, Weston has the global institutional relationships that can capitalize on AdvisorShares patent-pending exchange-traded fund platform as well as powerful distribution capability among institutions worldwide." AdvisorShares CEO Noah Hamman said, "Weston and AdvisorShares are perfectly complementary and we are looking forward to working with Weston to originate ETFs as well as help other managers launch their own ETFs and to market our actively managed ETFs to institutions worldwide with the expertise of Weston Capital's established sales force. These activities will greatly expand our footprint in the rapidly growing market of actively traded ETFs." Hallac said, "Weston anticipates that with greater resources and an entry to the fast-growing ETF market, we will offer our existing and potential clients a broader range of financial investment opportunities. In particular, we see great potential for growing our assets under management and related fee income by expanding our seeding platform to include the origination and development of new actively managed ETFs." Under the Harcourt strategic alliance, Weston Capital and Harcourt will seed and develop new hedge fund businesses via Weston Capital's incubation platform. The alliance combines Weston's extensive experience in early stage hedge fund investing and marketing with Harcourt's proven investment expertise in global manager selection, due diligence and risk management. Since January 2004, Weston Capital's hedge fund seeding platform (via the Weston-Atlas Partners Fund and the Weston Capital Partners Fund II) has provided sponsor capital for 13 emerging hedge fund managers. Weston intends to raise $250 million for its third incubation fund, Partners III, which will seed both hedge funds and actively managed ETFs, with Harcourt providing investment infrastructure and risk management. About Fund.com A diversified financial services company, New York City-based Fund.com, which has assets of $1 billion under management, focuses on the origination, seeding and formation of both actively managed ETFs and hedge funds through its wholly owned subsidiary Weston Capital Management, based in West Palm Beach, FL and its majority-owned subsidiary, AdvisorShares, Bethesda, MD, which is one of the few companies that has an exemption from the Securities and Exchange Commission to create actively managed ETFs.

"Renu Mobile selects NeoMedia products for our client's mobile barcode needs because we recognize the NeoMedia commitment to universal scanning and reliability. These critical elements shape the future of true one-click access to information."

LATEST NEWS!! eDoorways Prepares to Address Shareholders in Major Update & Progress Reporting With Pending Written Address and Upcoming Conference Call, Intended to Connect With Shareholders, Austin Web-Based Technology Company Contends Its Strong Position AUSTIN, TX, Mar 29, 2010 -- The eDoorways Corporation (PINKSHEETS: EDWY) prepares to address shareholders both formally through written statement along with the year's first shareholder conference call. Mr. Gary Kimmons, Chairman & CEO of the eDoorways Corporation, stated, "There has been much fanfare around the company's overall state of affairs. Some concerns are legitimate and responsible inquiries posed by genuinely interested shareholders. Other matters are simply libelous conjectures circulated by iniquitous persons whom are not likely to be eDoorways' shareholders, and will no longer be tolerated. In either case, our shareholders deserve clarity, and we are preparing to deliver it once and for all." The company says that it is preparing a detailed statement (Shareholder's Address) that will cover an array of topics -- such as pending changes to board and management, past, present and future financial matters, trading status, and recent talks with major technology outfits, to name a few. The company will follow this Shareholder's Address with the year's first Shareholder Conference Call. "The company is in an amazingly strong position today... much more so than two years ago," stated Kimmons. "With a platform that is in ongoing development by a few of the best 'open platform' and software developers in the business, a mobile application ready for submission, new users registering daily, the ISTEC relationship, our Facebook integration soon to be released and a growing organization in both status and personnel, there should be no question about this company soon realizing its ultimate vision." Due to the Passover holidays, both the formal statement and conference call are slated to take place next week April 2010, between the 6th and 8th of that month. People close to the company suggest that the Shareholder Address will be extremely detailed and self evident of the company's commitment to transparency and shareholder confidence. It is also said that the Shareholder Conference Call will be excitingly revealing. With the company close to delivering the remainder of Beta Version 2.5 and soon the new v2.7, management surmises that the overall viability of eDoorways is continuously strengthening. The public should ultimately be greatly impressed.

LATEST NEWS!! GoldSpring Solicits Consent for Reverse Stock Split in Connection With its Strategic Plan VIRGINIA CITY, Nev., March 26, 2010 -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG) announced today that it will mail consent solicitation statements on or about March 29, 2010 to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 1, 2010. The consent solicitation statements will be sent to stockholders of GoldSpring for the purpose of granting its Board of Directors the authority to effect a reverse stock split of the company's issued and outstanding common stock, if and when determined by the Board of Directors in a ratio of 1:200, without a corresponding reduction in the number of authorized shares of the GoldSpring's common stock. If effected, the number of shares of common stock held by each stockholder prior to the reverse stock split would be reduced by dividing the number of shares held immediately before the reverse stock split by 200, and then rounding up the nearest whole share. The consent of a majority of stockholders is required to approve such authority. If approved, the reverse stock split could be effected by the Board of Directors on or prior to December 31, 2011. The proposed reverse stock split was proposed in connection with the Company's efforts to effect an orderly restructuring of the Company's balance sheet and capital structure. The purpose of restructuring the balance sheet is to provide sufficient shares to meet the Company's outstanding obligations, such as reserving sufficient shares to cover conversion of its current convertible indebtedness as well as to reduce the number of outstanding shares to a level which it believes is more in line with a typical capital structure which would be more attractive to potential future investors. The Company also desires to have shares available to raise further capital needed to achieve its business plan and to possibly use as currency for future merger and acquisition activity. "We feel the proposed reverse stock split is central to the Company's strategic plans to restructure the Company's balance sheet and position the Company for future growth," stated William J. Nance, Chairman of the Board of Directors. About GoldSpring, Inc.
