Quepasa Corporation (Pink Sheets: QPSA), one of the world’s fastest-growing Latino social networks, today announced two new initiatives with famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Rey. Dr. Rey, who was born in Brazil, is an accomplished surgeon, medical consultant and author, best known as the star of the hit reality series “Dr. 90210” on the E! Network.
Under an existing partnership, whereby Dr. Rey maintains his online health and beauty community comprising over 40,000 members on Quepasa.com, both parties are now extending the online community’s functionality and reach via two new initiatives:
1. Dr. Rey´s micro blog, allowing Dr. Rey to share his day-to-day experiences with all of the members of his Quepasa community; and
2. Dr. Rey´s health and beauty tips via SMS; Dr. Rey, in partnership with Quepasa, will offer mobile subscribers throughout Latin America the opportunity to subscribe to daily health and beauty tips via text. The relationship will be a revenue share arrangement with Dr. Rey where we leverage his current Quepasa community membership to kick off the service.
Both initiatives are due to be implemented during the fourth quarter of 2009.
“Over the past year, we have established an extraordinary partnership and friendship with Quepasa, through which I have been able to interact with a huge audience,” said Dr. Rey. “I am looking forward to a long term relationship with the most entertaining social network for Latinos.”
“Dr. Rey has been a critical element of our premium entertainment strategy, particularly in Brazil, where we are jointly developing additional online and offline ventures,” said John C. Abbott, Quepasa’s CEO.

About Dr. Robert Rey
Best known as the star of the E! Network hit series, “Dr. 90210,” Dr. Robert Rey is also an accomplished martial artist with a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, a husband, and the proud father of two children. Dr. Rey has attended some of the top American educational institutions, from U.C.L.A. School of Medicine, to Tufts University School of Medicine, to Harvard Medical School’s Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital where he completed a plastic surgery fellowship. While Dr. Rey enjoys performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, he views plastic surgery as the last choice to consider.

AntiVirus Market, a leading reseller of antivirus and IT security software products, announced today that it has entered into an agreement to offer Armorlogic’s Profense web application firewall, the first web application firewall to support JSON based web services. The use of JSON has exploded as developers of social networking sites and web 2.0 applications select JSON for its low overhead.
Social networking sites were the most attacked web sites in the first half of 2009 with hackers
exploiting Web 2.0 features such as user generated content including Twitter posts to launch
their attacks, according to the Web Hacking Incidents Database (WHID) 2009 Bi-Annual
Report. The stakes have never been higher with sites like Facebook trying to introduce new
business models. Facebook surpassed 300 million users this year.
“With the movement of online social networking towards sustainable business models, they
are now being targeted by hackers” said Jakob Gercke, CEO and co-founder of Armorlogic.
“We introduced XML support last year and have added JSON this year to ensure web
application and web site protection is available for everyone.”
Doug Clements, Director for AntiVirus Market stated: “We are pleased to be able to offer Profense to our customers. Protecting and securing websites and web applications can be a complicated business. Profense web application firewall simplifies protection with an affordable and easy to use, feature rich solution that gives full PCI DSS 1.1 and 1.2 section 6.6 compliance. Now with the added JSON support, we feel Profense fills a larger gap than most application level firewalls.”
Armorlogic’s Profense web application firewall is used by thousands of businesses and agencies around the world to secure their websites, web applications and web services from hackers. By being the first web application firewall to support JSON based web applications and services, it confirms its status as a web application firewall of choice for social networking sites and web 2.0 applications.
