BigString Corporation (PINKSHEETS: BSGC) today announced that it has closed on sales to certain investors of an aggregate of 1,850,000 restricted shares of PeopleString Corporation common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $740,000. Prior to the sales, BigString held 7,975,600 shares of PeopleString common stock, approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding shares. BigString now holds 6,125,600 shares of PeopleString common stock, approximately 17.7% of the issued and outstanding shares.

The proceeds from the sale will be used to fund BigString's operations and satisfy other corporate obligations. In connection with the sale, BigString has agreed not to sell more than 650,000 additional shares of PeopleString common stock until after March 31, 2012, unless PeopleString common stock trades at or above $1.50 per share for a period of twenty consecutive trading days or such shares are sold subject to a lockup provision, which prevents the transfer of the shares by the purchaser until after March 31, 2012.

"As we have previously disclosed, the Board of Directors reviewed various strategic alternatives for BigString and its assets in order to enhance stockholder value," stated Darin Myman, President and CEO of BigString. "The Board has determined that the sale of a portion of our shares of PeopleString common stock for cash will provide us with working capital as we continue to review how to deploy and develop our financial and technology assets in the most effective manner to enhance shareholder value."
