YUZOZ, KNOWN FOR BRANDING THE RANDOMNESS OF SPACE, NAMES JOHN MANGANO CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, (July 25, 2007) – Yuzoz, LLC (www.yuzoz.com), the company that has pioneered a way to harness the randomness of live space activity, has named John Mangano Chief Operating Officer. Mangano, who has already been involved with Yuzoz’s Advisory Board, has been instrumental in developing the foundation for the creation of digitally-based entertainment applications such as providing input to online video gaming, picking lucky numbers and even helping people use the randomness of the stars to make personal decisions. He will be based in the Washington, DC area and will be responsible for growing the business and developing partner relationships.

“We have a uniquely fun technology. Our next step will be to build relationships with a variety of partners who want to use the influence of space to add excitement to their products, websites and communities,” said Jeffrey Manber, Chief Executive Officer at Yuzoz. “With his track record of innovation and reputation within the industry, John will play an important role in the growth Yuzoz.”

“People have been looking to the stars for answers from the very beginning of time. Stonehenge, the lunar calendar and astrology all are testaments to the power that the stars have over man, even today. Yuzoz uses the influence of the stars like never before and delivers it in a way that uniquely fits the digital age,” said Mangano. “It will be fun being on the team that takes Yuzoz from being a great idea into a great business.”

Mangano has extensive business experience. He has held senior marketing positions at a number of major corporations. As Director of OEM Partnership Marketing at AOL, he developed some of the most profitable acquisition programs through partnerships in the consumer electronics industry. At AT&T Wireless he was responsible for expanding wireless service from a simple voice-only product to include data and developed the company’s high profile partnership programs.



About Yuzoz

Yuzoz uses proprietary methods to capture data from live astronomical events such as solar flares, northern lights, the winds of space, and the movements of clouds on Venus via satellites. This data can then be used to do almost anything: pick from a list of excuses for being late to work or school; select the notes for a cosmically-generated tune or ring tone; or to lucky numbers. The possibilities are endless on how many things the stars can decide.

Yuzoz has been rapidly building its technology and now makes it available free through a growing family of software widgets that includes the “Yuzoz Wardrobe Picker,” “Yuzoz Holiday Destination Picker,” and “Yuzoz Father’s Day Decision Maker.” Most recently, the company added “Yuzoz Fireworks,” which uses space data to generate random art in the form of a widget-based fireworks display. Yuzoz widgets are available for download at http://www.yuzoz.com/widgets/default.aspx

Yuzoz, LLC is a truly global company with offices in United Kingdom and in Washington, DC.



Long history in commercial space

Jeff Manber is a pioneer of commercial space innovation. In 1992 he became chief executive officer of Energia USA, which represented the Russian space station Mir in its business dealings in the U.S. He played a role in bringing the Russian and American space industries together, which has ensured greater safety for astronauts and continuity for the International Space Station project.

Manber also headed the groundbreaking Mir-Corp, which signed space tourist Dennis Tito to his first launch contract, and worked with Survivor producer Mark Burnett to develop a game show that would have sent the winner blasting off for a one-week stay on the Mir.
