Quepasa.com, the popular online social network and game platform for the Latino community operated by Quepasa Corporation (NYSE Amex: QPSA), today announced an agreement with Tutudo, Inc., to make Tutudo's E-Wallet payment solution available for all Quepasa games.

The Tutudo E-Wallet allows for the purchase of game currency credits through a network of 70,000 points of sale (POS) in Brazil, including newsstands and Internet cafes. The Tutudo credits specifically target Brazilian middle class game users, a demographic with low credit card penetration, by delivering the credits via mobile text message. Quepasa will promote Tutudo as its exclusive POS payment solution in Brazil and Mexico and Tutudo will include Quepasa's games in all of its media campaigns.

"Gaining access to Tutudo's 70,000 POS, platform and E-Wallet solution in Brazil is an important step in Quepasa's strategy of monetizing games and other content solutions on Quepasa.com," commented Quepasa's CEO, John Abbott. "The Tutudo solution complements the very large percentage of Quepasa game players with limited access to credit."

"We chose to partner with Quepasa due to their scale across all of Latin America and their focus on culturally relevant social games via their recently acquired game studio in Curitiba, Brazil," said Pierre Schurmann, CEO of Tutudo, "We look forward to facilitating payments for Quepasa's 34 million users."

Quepasa's Latest Social Media Ad Campaign Drives Over 13 Million Engagements, Doubling Quepasa's Previous Record

Quepasa Corporation (NYSE Amex: QPSA), creator and operator of Quepasa.com, the popular online social network and game platform for the Latino community, today announced the results of a social media advertising campaign sold via reseller partner Sony Pictures Television Ad Sales Latin America (SPT Ad Sales). The campaign, powered by Quepasa's proprietary DSM technology, was Quepasa's first reseller-sourced campaign. The campaign resulted in more than 13 million user engagements, a record-breaking success for Quepasa's DSM technology.

Designed to support the Mexican launch of a new consumer product, the campaign served as the promotional component of a broader media push that included television, radio and Internet advertising. The campaign invited participants to share their entries across their social profiles to win points and compete for prizes. In addition, participants could double their points for performing "high value" tasks. In six weeks the campaign generated over 13 million engagements, which represents the main success metric for DSM campaigns and is defined as the sum total of views, votes, entries, comments and shares generated in that period. Highlights from the results include over 1.8 million shares -- socially and by email -- with Facebook and Twitter dominating social sharing behavior.

"We are thrilled that our DSM technology produced such powerful engagement numbers on behalf of our customer," said Quepasa's CEO, John C. Abbott. "Using a click-through on a traditional display ad as a proxy for an engagement, we drove the equivalent number of 'clicks' as would a traditional media buy of more than six billion impressions. This provides a compelling case study for social media's potential to drive ROI for advertisers, and sets a great precedent for our relationship with SPT Ad Sales."

"Quepasa's DSM technology allowed us to go far beyond what we could accomplish with a traditional web promotion," said Irving Plonskier, senior vice president and general manager of SPT Ad Sales. "Not only did the campaign achieve massive reach at a low cost, it supported brand awareness by generating real, brand experience. Innovative thinking like this will be critical as advertisers continue to shift their focus to social solutions and develop more sophisticated expectations vis a vis what their ad dollars can accomplish on the social web."

Quepasa Corporation (NYSE Amex: QPSA), creator and operator of Quepasa.com, the popular online social network and game platform for the Latino community, has introduced Wonderful City, a Latin American-themed city building game.

Developed by the company's Quepasa Games division, Wonderful City is available to play today as a beta version on Quepasa.com. The official launch is planned for May, and in partnership with Mentez, a leading social game publisher in Latin America, the game also will be launched on Orkut and Facebook.

"We're excited to introduce Wonderful City as the first social game developed by Quepasa Games, our new social game division formed by our acquisition of Brazil-based TechFront Studios in March," said Quepasa's CEO John Abbott. "As a developer, publisher, and distributor of social games, we can now command a greater proportion of the revenues associated with games published on our Quepasa.com platform, while also participating in additional revenues streams generated on other social networks, like Orkut and Facebook."

"We expect our new partnership with Mentez to accelerate the monetization of Wonderful City across these other networks, as Mentez has established a portfolio of popular games that already reaches more than 22 million active users weekly," added Abbott.

Mentez specializes in helping developers promote and monetize social games and other applications on social networks, particularly Orkut in Brazil, where it publishes four of the top five most popular games on the site.

Wonderful City offers many social networking gameplay features, including:

-- Sharing -- As you build your city-by-the-sea, you will be invited to
share your creation and vision with your social network.
-- Quests -- By completing certain quests, you will receive rewards that
allow you to grow your city and population.
-- Characters and Decorations -- Wonderful City incorporates regional and
Latin American characters and ambiance in order to differentiate from
other city building games.
-- Residences and Wonders -- Like all Latin cities, yours will contain
localized residences (favelas) and wonders that are only found in
cities-by-the-sea.

from .50 to 15.00 in a 2 year period...now back down to more realistic levels...

if 5.00 was indeed support that held 9-12 doesnt seem like too much to expect with some recent positive pr's...will keep an eye on it...

volume up nicely with this pps surge

looks interesting to me if it closes over 4.00
then i play as a reversal trend possibly
