FargoTube Affiliates With Consolidated Independent

Entertainment Platform Connects to 80+ Music Distributors, Thousands of Artists and Songs

ALPHARETTA, GA, Jan 20, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- F3 Technologies, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: FTCH) announced today that its innovative FargoTube(TM) social-networking platform for monetizing music and videos is affiliating with Consolidated Independent as a digital store, a relationship that will provide FargoTube with potentially thousands of tracks by independent musicians each month.

A crucial link in the new distribution system for digital media, CI delivers music and video files in very large batches to online retailers such as iTunes and Amazon from meta-distribution services such as Ditto Music, which upload and process tracks from unsigned musicians and independent labels. FargoTube's affiliation with CI will expose it to more than 80 U.S. and European meta-distributors, and potentially thousands of musicians and other artists who seek an integrated networking-and-sales platform.

"Most independent artists understand the need to identify effective new sales channels in a world of declining CD sales," F3 Chief Operating Officer Paul Campbell said. "Fewer of them realize they can take control of a new sales channel that's embedded in a network of fans. That new channel is FargoTube."

FargoTube is unique in the growing online-media ecosystem in that it lets independent artists profit directly from sales through a social network, a set-up that gives them direct control and precise data about fans' buying habits. Musicians, filmmakers, remote instructors and other artists can upload their content free of charge and then make it available on a per-view, per-media file and/or subscription basis, setting prices and receiving 70 percent of the resulting revenue.

Moreover, artists can encourage their fans to share rich digital content -- concert footage and live recordings, for example -- with each other, either free of charge or while sharing revenue with the artists.

FargoTube is empowering artists to sell their creations while facilitating direct contact with and among fans, thus replacing the faceless sale of digital files with an exciting new interactive digital marketplace experience.

In other news, CEO Frank Connor recently gave an exclusive interview to the Shareholder Development Group, where he provided an overview of F3's three main platforms and of the company itself. An audio recording is available at http://f3.fargotube.com/view.aspx?1018.
