AskMeNow Taps into ''Mobile Lifestyle'' of Spring Breakers Through Promotion with TechKnowOverload Tour and Coyote Ugly.

IRVINE, Calif. -- AskMeNow, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ocean West Holding Corporation (OTCBB: OWHC), today announced an innovative promotion with TechKnowOverload (TKO) Tour and the Coyote Ugly Saloon to introduce the ultimate mobile lifestyle service to hundreds of thousands of college students on Spring Break. The promotion makes it easier for college students to sign-up for AskMeNow to receive on-the-go answers to almost any factual question 'from what is the maximum SPF?' to 'how do you fend off a shark attack?'

As part of its participation with the spring semester launch of the TKO, sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association, AskMeNow is participating in a series of promotions and giveaways with TKO and Coyote Ugly in Panama Beach, FL from March 11 through March 26. Following the initial promotions at Spring Break, AskMeNow will join the TKO Tour to visit more than 15 major college campuses in the Southeast, Midwest, and West throughout the Spring Semester.

"The college market is a natural audience for AskMeNow, because they are on-the-go, word-of-mouth driven and among the most active mobile phone users," said AskMeNow CEO, Darryl Cohen. "Our Spring Break promotion is designed to make it easier for college students to sign-up for AskMeNow at a time when they really need mobile information. AskMeNow will be front and center for hundreds of thousands of potential AskMeNow fans, and we will continue to market aggressively to this important audience."

The TKO Tour (www.tkotour.com) is a traveling outdoor event that introduces the latest hot new consumer technologies to college students nationwide. For the Panama City events, AskMeNow is centrally located on the beach for two weeks during the peak Spring Break season. AskMeNow will also be part of a permanently staffed TKO Pavilion called On The Go Zone staffed booth at the main TKO Event and will participate in on-stage giveaways throughout each day. Additionally AskMeNow has partnered with the Panama City Beach location of the popular Coyote Ugly Saloon and will host a nightly "Happy Hour" from 8-10 pm with trivia contests and giveaways for all new AskMeNow sign-ups.

New users will be able to sign up by simply text messaging questions to ASKME (27563) to receive free service for three months, as well as an invitation to the nightly Coyote Ugly events. The AskMeNow service will be demonstrated by TKO staffers in the booth and AskMeNow employees at the Coyote Ugly events to help increase sign-ups.
