Fireswirl Technologies Inc.: General Business Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire) - Fireswirl Technologies Inc. (TSX VENTURE:FSW) ("the company") wishes to provide an update on the following:

BUSINESS UPDATE

The company expects to implement the following projects in Q1 2008:

In June 2007 the company acquired a 3G Platform enabling interactive video content to be deployed by mobile carriers. The platform was installed with Hutchison Telephone Company (Macau) Limited (HT) and a reseller agreement is in place whereby the company will receive a portion of the HT network revenue based on usage by the end user. In fall 2007 the company commenced development of a gaming suite consisting of baccarat, blackjack, slots, and video poker whereby contestants using their 3G mobile devices can compete for prizes. Beta testing of this 3G content is completed and the company anticipates entering a content reseller agreement with mobile carriers in the networks it is intended to be deployed within.

Throughout 2007 the company added new games and updated its online gaming suite, most recently converting its poker suite to a "flash based client" versus "downloadable windows application client". The company is expecting to deploy the flash based poker software within eligible partnering programs of popular social networking platforms. The poker suite will initially be on a play for free basis with the company expecting to derive future revenues from advertising.

Fireswirl is at final stages of completing a business to business (B2B) website that caters to an English and Chinese forum of users either operating or wishing to operate in China. Developed from our Shenzhen offices in China, based on the company's first hand experiences, the site will provide business oriented information with links, FAQ's, and the ability for members to catalogue their business. Our initial business case is to derive revenues from its memberships with future expectations to achieve B2B transactional fees between the members.
