Break.com Makes Online Video Personal.

New Features Give Consumers Control Over their Content Tastes & Discovery

LOS ANGELES -- Break.com, the leading online entertainment channel for men, has made online video more personal with the addition of two new features including the first recommendation engine for prosumer and consumer generated content, and a new customizable embedded video player for everyone from individual users to professional bloggers.

Increasingly consumers want online content available in real time that suits their interests and needs. Break.com's new recommendation system provides users targeted individual video choices based on their content preferences, likes and dislikes. Similarly, Break.com's new embeddable player allows the ever growing community of bloggers and web advertisers to offer their own users a more branded experience through the use of video on their site. With Break.com's easy to use to use toolset, they can show video through a completely customized player that highlights their own brand and unique personality.

"Incorporating search, discovery and personalization is becoming a crucial component of emerging digital media, especially for online video," says Keith Richman, CEO, Break.com. "We want to provide our users and content creators with the unique ability to personalize their own content, while being able to easily discover video that is the most appealing and relevant."

Ratings & Recommendations

Break.com's innovative recommendation tool is easy to use, keeps users connected, and provides members the most relevant content to their interests. Break.com uses a proprietary weighted heuristic based on a number of factors, including the type of video rated and its contents to ensure the most accurate matches to users' particular tastes.

The enhanced features include:

* Relevant Recommendations: Based on a users interest, Break.com will recommend other videos that suit their taste

* Rating History: Video rating history will be available on Break.com; users can look as far back as they wish to view a previously rated video
