RED BANK, N.J., March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BigString Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: BSGC), a provider of social networking messaging applications and user-controllable email services, announced today that it has closed on a financing in the amount of $700,000. The financing consisted of the private placement of unregistered convertible promissory notes and warrants. Details of the financing are available in the Form 8-K filed by BigString with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 5, 2008, which can be viewed at http://www.sec.gov. The proceeds of the financing will be used to market the Company's product lines, including recently launched product lines regarding social networking applications and self-destructing video email, and for general corporate purposes.

Darin M. Myman, President and CEO of BigString, commented that, "We are pleased that institutional investors have once again chosen to invest in our company. The proceeds of this financing will be used, in part, to launch an aggressive marketing and advertising campaign designed to increase awareness of our core product lines. Our campaign will address the unique features of our recallable, self-destructing email service, videos and other emerging applications based on our patent-pending technology." He added that, "The potential for BigString to establish new Internet protocols for online user privacy is significant. We recently launched our self-destructing video utility on Facebook, and we believe other social networking sites will follow suit. We are now focused on getting the word out that personal messages and shared media do not have to be stored in cyberspace forever."
