Singapore August 21, 2008. Interexpat Pte. Ltd., a Singapore headquartered Internet services company (www.interexpat.com)
today launched new information services combining social community
capabilities with a powerful global search engine: ExpatFinder.com. The
new service aptly called ExpatFinder is the first vertical search
engine for people intending to relocate or already living abroad.

ExpatFinder.com
addresses the increased demand for information and services by
relocating professionals and their families. The website acts as a
channel to guide expatriates or pre-expatriates about to make the move,
to the most relevant information and websites both locally and
globally.

Featuring a simple keyword search interface, ExpatFinder provides
its users access to the highly detailed and relevant information needed
to make informed expatriation and relocation decisions.

"Expatriation
is characterized by a need for information on various topics with a
different perspective than other average web users. Expats need deeper,
more focused information to relocate with ease. With the unveiling of
our specialized search engine www.ExpatFinder.com,
we are excited to be able to provide expats all over the world with a
comprehensive and user-friendly resource, giving access to information
search but also very soon additional search for services like local
relocation services, international moving, housing and much more," said
co-founder Sébastien Deschamps.

The global family start-up with offices in Singapore and France,
uses the search technology from French company Exalead and Singapore's
Qweki (for the blog search only). "Working with a mature search engine
technology provider like Exalead gave us the necessary experience to
build a state of the art search solution. Qweki allowed us a greater
flexibility with the expat blogging community. "adds Francois
Deschamps, co-founder, Interexpat.

In addition to web search, users of ExpatFinder.com can interact
and share the experience and lifestyle with other expats by doing a
search on blogs, and discussion forums. The Expat Blog search provides
an insight on local experiences through the eyes of an expat and
further helps to ease the adjustment of expats and expat families to
make the relocation a success.
