Local.com Introduces Local Mobile™

IRVINE, CA, May 23, 2007 — Local.com Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading local search engine, today announced the launch of Local Mobile™, the company’s new mobile service that allows users to access Local.com’s search engine from mobile phones and devices.

Local Mobile is a mobile-centric, ad-supported site that provides users with a quick and easy way to perform relevant local searches by entering a keyword and location from their wireless phone or device. Local.com has partnered with Trilibis Mobile, a leading provider of mobile community applications and enabling technologies, to develop and deploy Local.com’s mobile service.

Local Mobile enables users to:

• Quickly access search results based on a simple “what” and “where” search
• Access business profile pages, complete with mapping
• Access driving directions
• Send listings to mobile phone or device via SMS
• Access click-to-call functionality
• Sort results by relevance, distance or name


“We recognize that our users want access to Local.com wherever they are, and Local Mobile represents an extension of our leading local search technology for consumers on-the-go,” said Bruce Crair, Local.com president and COO. “According to a recent report by iCrossing, an estimated 37 million Americans conduct mobile searches on a weekly basis, with maps/directions, and local information being in the top three searches. As a leader in local search, it was a natural fit for us to extend our reach into the mobile market.”

Local Mobile is available on any mobile phone or device with mobile web browsing capabilities.

“Local.com is truly a leader in the local search industry. They have set the standard for providing highly relevant local search results,” said Alex Panelli, Trilibis Mobile CEO. “With 75 percent of mobile searchers refusing to go beyond the second page, returning relevant search results is essential. We are pleased to be working with Local.com on this exciting new venture.”

To use Local Mobile, go to: http://mobile.local.com from the Internet browser on your mobile phone or device.
