WORLDS.COM, PIONEER OF 3D VIRTUAL WORLDS APPROVED FOR QUOTATION ON THE OTC BULLETIN BOARD

New York – October 16, 2008 – Worlds.com (www.Worlds.com) (OTC: WDDD), the pioneer technology platform for 3D virtual communities has announced that it has been approved by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) to have the company’s securities quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board electronic trading system.

"Worlds has cleaned up its balance sheet and written off significant debt and liabilities. Now that the company is current and compliant in its SEC filings, we can continue our re-positioning and ongoing discussions with strategic partners in the 3D market place. The approval by FINRA to quote Worlds’ common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board is another step in Worlds’ restructuring which began last year," stated Thom Kidrin, CEO of Worlds.com.

Worlds users create avatars that navigate through virtual worlds as well as build their own worlds on a P2P network. The company is building on existing formats to improve entertainment, socializing, and marketing capabilities in the 3D online environment. Worlds users have a personal avatar which allows them to move, view, voice chat, send email, join discussion groups, listen to music, watch videos, and shop within virtual worlds communities.

Worlds received its first US patent, number 6,219,045, for multi-user server technology for 3D applications, in 2001 and a second US patent, 7,181,690 B1, was granted in February 2007.

Besides partnering with existing content providers that have strong brands and an existing following, Worlds also encourages individuals to create their own virtual spaces, communities and unique Avatars with easy-to-use tools.
