Globe7, Tencent Partner For Networking Site in China

Globe7 HK Limited, a diversified Web 2.0 development company, and
Tencent Holdings Limited, owners of China´s largest Internet portal,
have announced a strategic partnership for building and marketing a
student-oriented social networking platform for China.

Called Longhaier, the site will offer online forum, campus
information and games, and other interactive Web applications, and
also will provide extensive information on study abroad, job placement
and scholarship opportunities, the companies said.

"We are delighted to work with a company of Tencent´s stature, and
we believe this site can be both a highly popular and useful to young
people simultaneously," said Clayton Haswell, president and CEO of
Globe7.

Longhaier will offer opportunities for teenagers and students to
share their lives and communicate with each other. The site will help
students prepare for academic testing, find jobs, and will also
provide online communities, gaming and entertainment.

"We are pleased that Globe7 has chosen QQ to market Longhaier,"
said Mr. Martin Lau, president of Tencent Inc. He said Longhaier will
contribute to the popularity of other QQ products, such as QQ Instant
Messenger, QQ Mail and QQ Games. "This will be a great opportunity to
showcase our promotional strengths and showcase our approach to
building a friendly Internet community."

Tencent has successfully created a large Internet community with
QQ.com, which has wide popularity, particularly among young Internet
users. QQ is a leader in expanding ways of using the Internet.

Globe7´s parent company, India-based Northgate Technologies,
created BharatStudent, one of India´s largest and fastest growing
social networking sites, with an emphasis on students and education.
