FUHU’s Spinlets™ and urFooz™ Widgets Hit Over Ten Million Views in One Week With Their Promotion of Guns N’ Roses Release of “Chinese Democracy” on MySpace

EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--FUHU Inc., leading the market in connecting people and content across their favorite destinations, has reported over ten million views in the first week of their Guns N’ Roses Spinlets widgets and urFooz cards of Axl Rose and Bumblefoot on MySpace, positioning the company as the dominant music widgets provider, facilitating extension of music brands and personal information across the social networking space.

“Widgets are transforming how music content is consumed, shared and distributed”

Spinlets are new information-rich music widgets that let users place favorite artists’ videos, links, pictures, MP3s, ring-tones, news and more on their own favorite sites (www.spinlets.com). While urFooz are the newest in interactive portable profiles that, like a virtual baseball card, depict the user’s own avatar on one side and the user’s profile, favorite pictures, music, links and videos on the reverse (www.urfooz.com). urFooz gives users the ability to share information across their favorite social networks with a single virtual identity card.

Instant Hit

FUHU launched its Guns N’ Roses (GNR) “Chinese Democracy” Spinlets widgets featuring its Best Buy partnership and including the bands’ MP3s, photos, videos and more. The GNR Spinlets widgets have averaged over 1.4 million views per day and have been placed by users over 2,500 times on new websites. FUHU’s urFooz card of Axl Rose has racked up over 1,750,000 views in its first week on www.myspace.com/gunsnroses.

“Widgets are transforming how music content is consumed, shared and distributed,” said FUHU CEO, Jim Mitchell. “We are excited to showcase our technology with this historic album release and we are proud to help use social networking to give fans access to more Guns N’ Roses content whenever they want it, wherever they want it. Our widgets come backed by powerful analytics which have allowed us to track their adoption to every corner of the world.”
