Market Update

Bright Things plc 24 April 2008 Bright Things plc ('Bright Things' or the 'Company') Market update ------------- Following completion of the acquisition of CommonWorld Ltd on 27th December 2007, the company is pleased to announce that the development of its social networking product is progressing well. The product, now titled 'SocialGO', has entered the first beta testing stage with a small number of organizations. The feedback from these test sites will help refine the product for further, larger scale second stage beta testing in preparation for a commercial launch provisionally scheduled during the summer. Once the service has been successfully introduced we will increase our marketing activity through the latter part of the year. SocialGO will be a premium service that allows users to create their own private social network (with similar functions and features to Facebook or myspace) for any organization or group. Examples of such groups could include businesses, sports clubs, extended families, church congregations, schools or universities, trade or hobby associations or parish councils all of which could benefit from the service, which seeks to draw exiting communities together. This is done through the sharing of blogs, photos, music and video, the ability to organize events, create special groups within the network, introduce relevant news feeds and facilitate forums. It will also offer instant messaging and video chat between members of each network as well as allowing broadcasts and bulletins and profile sharing. As a browser based service, it is operated from dedicated servers and does not require software downloads. In this way, members of a network can access it from anywhere in the world. SocialGO will be 'advertising free', secure and private and there will be no exploitation of users or members details. Instead, the user or 'owner' of each private network will pay a small monthly premium while their invited members will enjoy free access. This subscription based business model should result in the steady increase of revenue to the company over time, and allow the constant refining of the product and addition of new services to users. As we enter the next stage of development we would be pleased to hear from shareholders who would like to be part of our limited beta program due to start in late May. Please contact beta@socialgo.com. The company continues to consider potential new iDVD games, but has no further news to add since our last update on Tiger Woods Golf. We continue to receive enquiries about our ASIC chip technology and have had discussions with several groups.
