Robert S. DeMeulemeester

Red Bank, New Jersey  07701

         Re:      Offer of Employment

Dear Robert:

         I am pleased to advise you that the Board of Directors (the "Board") of
BigString Corporation ("BigString") has authorized me to extend this offer of
employment to you as provided below.

         1. Employment. If you accept this offer of employment, you will
            ----------
commence employment with BigString on September 18, 2006 (the "Commencement
Date"). This offer of employment is not a contract of continuing employment.
Your employment with BigString is strictly "at will," which means the employment
relationship can be terminated, at any time, with or without Cause (as
hereinafter defined), at the option of either BigString or yourself, except as
otherwise prohibited by law.

         2. Title and Responsibilities. You will be employed by BigString as its
            --------------------------
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. As the
Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, you generally
will be responsible for all financial reporting and for establishing and
maintaining financial controls. More specifically, you will be responsible for
the integrity of BigString's financial reporting process and systems of internal
controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance. You also will
assume the duties and responsibilities assigned to your offices as set forth in
BigString's By-laws, as amended and restated on June 29, 2005, and such other
duties and responsibilities as may be assigned to you, from time to time, by the
Board and BigString's Audit Committee (the "Audit Committee"). You will
generally report to BigString's President and Chief Executive Officer and, at
times, directly to the Board and the Audit Committee.

         During your employment with BigString, you shall faithfully perform and
discharge the above described duties and responsibilities and any other duty or
responsibility deemed appropriate by the Board and Audit Committee, and, except
for reasonable vacations, holidays

                                       1
<PAGE>

and absences due to temporary illness taken in accordance with BigString's
policies, shall devote your full time, energy, skills and attention to the
business of BigString, and shall not be engaged or employed in any other
business activity whatsoever, whether or not such activity is pursued for gain,
profit or other pecuniary advantage, except that you may continue to participate
in your boat rental and storage business for so long as such business does not
interfere with your duties and responsibilities hereunder.

         3. Compensation and Benefits. Initially, your base salary will be
            -------------------------
$130,000, subject to any withholding required by law. Your base salary will be
paid in accordance with standard company policy. In the event that BigString
participates in one or more offerings of its securities, and receives, in the
aggregate, more than $2,000,000 in net proceeds, your base salary will be
increased to $200,000. At such time, you will receive a lump sum payment,
subject to any withholding required by law, equal to the difference between (a)
the total amount of base salary paid to you up until the date of the increase to
your base salary and (b) the total amount of base salary that would have been
paid to you up until the date of the increase to your base salary, if your base
salary was $200,000 as of the Commencement Date. Further, the Board may, in its
sole discretion, increase your base salary at any time and for any reason.

         In addition, during your employment with BigString, BigString agrees to
provide fringe benefits to you consistent with the benefits afforded to all
full-time employees of BigString, including medical and dental benefits, if any.
Moreover, depending on your employment performance, you may be eligible for
future equity awards and bonus arrangements, to be determined and awarded at the
sole discretion of the Board and BigString's Compensation Committee.

         4. Stock Options. If you accept employment with BigString, you will be
            -------------
awarded, as of the Commencement Date, an Incentive Option under BigString's 2006
Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Pursuant to the Incentive Option, you will
be eligible to purchase 1,800,000 shares of BigString's Common Stock, par value
$.0001 per share ("Common Stock"). When vested, 400,000 shares of common stock
subject to the Incentive Option will be eligible for purchase at the per share
price equal to the Fair Market Value (as such term is defined in the Plan) of
one share of Common Stock on the Commencement Date; 600,000 shares of Common
Stock subject to the Incentive Option will be eligible for purchase at $.50 per
share; 400,000 shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Option will be
eligible for purchase at $.90 per share; and 400,000 shares of Common Stock
subject to the Incentive Option will be eligible for purchase at $1.25 per
share. The Incentive Option will vest quarterly over a three year period. In
other words, 150,000 shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Option will
vest at the end of each quarter following the Commencement Date.

         The shares of Common Stock subject to the Incentive Option will vest in
order of exercise price, with the shares with the lower exercise price vesting
first. As provided in the Plan, the Incentive Option will fully vest in
connection with a Change of Control (as such term is defined in the Plan). The
Incentive Option will be granted to you pursuant to the Incentive Option
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit "A."

         5. Nomination to Serve as a Member of the Board. Subject to your
            --------------------------------------------
continuing employment with BigString, the Board will include you with its other
nominees for director to be

                                       2
<PAGE>

acted upon by the stockholders of BigString at BigString's 2007 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders. You understand that you will not be nominated to serve on the
Board if you are not an employee of BigString at the time the proxy materials to
be used in connection with BigString's 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders are
submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         6. Severance. If (a) your employment is terminated by BigString for any
            ---------
reason other than Cause (as defined below) after BigString is in receipt of more
than $2,000,000 in net proceeds as a result of the offering(s) contemplated in
paragraph 3 hereof, or (b) your employment is terminated by BigString or a
successor entity for any reason other than Cause after or in connection with a
Change of Control (as defined in the Plan), you will receive a lump sum payment
equal to two (2) months of your base salary, subject to any withholding required
by law, within three (3) days of the date your employment is terminated.

         For purposes of this offer of employment, "Cause" shall mean as
follows: (a) you willfully, or as a result of gross negligence on your part,
fail substantially to (i) carry out the lawful policies of the Board or (ii)
discharge your duties and responsibilities as an executive of BigString for any
reason other than your illness or disability, (b) you are convicted of or enter
a plea of no contest with respect to a felony, (c) you engage in conduct which
is demonstrably and substantially injurious to BigString (as determined in good
faith by the Board), or (d) you commit willful or intentional misconduct that
has a material adverse effect on BigString.

         7. Confidential Information and Materials. You acknowledge that by
            --------------------------------------
reason of your employment with BigString, you will hereafter become exposed to
and/or become knowledgeable about proposals, plans, inventions, practices,
systems, programs, subscriptions, strategies, formulas, processes, methods,
techniques, research, records, suppliers, sources, customer lists, billing
information, any other form of business information and any trade secrets of
every kind and character, whether or not they constitute a trade secret under
applicable law, which are not known to BigString's competitors and which are
kept secret and confidential by BigString (the "Confidential Information"). You
therefore agree that at no time during or after your employment with BigString
will you disclose or use the Confidential Information or materials to or with
any person, firm, business, corporation, association, or other entity for any
reason or purpose except as may be required in the prudent course of business
for the sole benefit of BigString, or as may be required by a court order or by
law.

         8. Company Property. All correspondence, memoranda, notes, records,\
            ----------------
reports, plans, price lists, customer lists, financial statements, catalogs,
computer programs, disks, tapes, other papers and other medium on or by which
Confidential Information is stored, received, possessed or made by you in
connection with your employment by BigString shall be the property of BigString
and shall be delivered to BigString upon the termination of your employment or
at any other time upon request of BigString, including all copies thereof.

         You agree to disclose to BigString all ideas, inventions and business
plans developed by you during your employment with BigString that relate
directly or indirectly to the business of BigString, including, without
limitation, any design, logo, slogan, advertising campaign or any process,

software programs, computer animations, creative policies and ideas, budgets,
practices, concepts, strategies, research, methods of operation, financial or
business projections, designs, logos, slogans and business plans developed or

the sole and absolute property of BigString. You agree, that, at BigString's
request and expense, you will take all steps necessary to assign any rights to
BigString and secure the rights thereto to BigString by patent, copyright or
otherwise.

         9. Equitable Remedies. BigString and you confirm that the restrictions
            ------------------
contained in Sections 7 and 8 hereof are, in view of the nature of the business
of BigString, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of
BigString and that any violation of any provisions of Sections 7 and 8 will
result in irreparable injury to BigString. Therefore, you hereby agree that in
the event of any breach or threatened breach of the terms or conditions of this
offer of employment by you, BigString's remedies at law will be inadequate and,
in any such event, BigString shall be entitled to commence an action for
preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable and monetary
relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.

         10. Severability. If any provision of this offer of employment or
             ------------
application thereof to any person or circumstance is adjudicated to be invalid
or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall
not affect any other provision or application of this offer of employment, which
can be given effect without the invalid or unenforceable provision or
application and shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision or
application in any other jurisdiction.

         11. Entire Agreement, Amendments. This offer of employment contains the
             ----------------------------
entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter
hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and

Jersey or the United States District Court for the State of New Jersey for

         THIS AGREEMENT (together with Schedule A, attached hereto, this
"Agreement"), effective as of the date specified as the "Grant Date" on Schedule
A attached hereto, between BIGSTRING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Corporation"), and the individual identified on Schedule A attached hereto, an
Employee of the Corporation or an Affiliate (the "Participant").

                                R E C I T A L S :
                                 - - - - - - - -

         In furtherance of the purposes of the BigString Corporation 2006 Equity
Incentive Plan, as it may be hereafter amended (the "Plan"), the Corporation and
the Participant hereby agree as follows:

         1. Incorporation of Plan. The rights and duties of the Corporation and
            ---------------------
the Participant under this Agreement shall in all respects be subject to and
governed by this Agreement and the provisions of the Plan, the terms of which
are incorporated herein by reference. In the event of any conflict between the
provisions in this Agreement and those of the Plan, the provisions of this
Agreement shall govern. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in
this Agreement shall have the same definitions as set forth in the Plan. A copy
of the Plan has been delivered to the Participant with this Agreement.

         2. Grant of Incentive Option; Term of Incentive Option. The Corporation
            ---------------------------------------------------
hereby grants to the Participant pursuant to the Plan, an Incentive Option (the
"Incentive Option") to purchase 1,800,000 shares (the "Shares") of the
Corporation's common stock, par value $.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), at the
purchase prices (the "Option Price") specified on Schedule A attached hereto,
and subject to such other terms and conditions as may be stated herein, in the
Plan or on Schedule A. The Participant expressly acknowledges that the terms of
Schedule A shall be incorporated herein by reference and shall constitute part
of this Agreement. The Corporation and the Participant further acknowledge and
agree that the signatures of the Corporation and the Participant on the Grant
Notice contained in Schedule A shall constitute their acceptance of all of the
terms of this Agreement and their agreement to be bound by the terms of the
Plan. To the extent that the Incentive Option or any portion thereof does not
qualify as an Incentive Option under applicable law or the Plan, the Incentive
Option or portion thereof, as the case may be, shall be treated as a
Nonqualified Option. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement,
the Incentive Option will expire if not exercised in full by the Expiration Date
specified on Schedule A.

         3. Exercise of Option. Subject to the terms of the Plan and this
            ------------------
Agreement, the Incentive Option shall become exercisable on the date or dates,
and subject to such conditions, as are set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.
To the extent that a portion of the Incentive Option

<PAGE>

is or becomes exercisable and is not exercised, such portion shall accumulate
and be exercisable by the Participant in whole or in part at any time prior to
expiration of the Incentive Option, subject to the terms of the Plan and this
Agreement. As provided in the Plan, the Incentive Option will fully vest in
connection with a Change in Control (as such term is defined in the Plan). The
Participant expressly acknowledges that the Incentive Option may vest and be
exercisable only upon such terms and conditions as are provided in this
Agreement and the Plan.

         To exercise all or any portion of the Incentive Option, the Participant
must provide to the Corporation (a) written notice of such exercise, which is to
include the number of shares of the Corporation's Common Stock to be purchased
upon such exercise (the "Exercise Notice"), and (b) payment of the Option Price
as provided below. The Exercise Notice is to be delivered to the Corporation, at
the following address:

                           BigString Corporation
                           3 Harding Road, Suite F
                           Red Bank, New Jersey 07701
                           Attn:  Darin M. Myman
                                  President and Chief
                                  Executive Officer

         Upon the exercise of the Incentive Option in whole or in part and
payment of the Option Price in accordance with the provisions of the Plan and
this Agreement, the Corporation shall, as soon thereafter as practicable,
deliver to the Participant a certificate or certificates for the Shares
purchased. Payment of the Option Price may be made in cash or by cash
equivalent. However, where permitted by applicable law and approved by the
Administrator, payment may also be made (i) by delivery (by either actual
delivery or attestation) of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant at
the time of exercise; (ii) by shares of Common Stock withheld upon exercise;
(iii) by such other payment methods as may be approved by the Administrator and
which are acceptable under applicable law; or (iv) by any combination of the
foregoing methods. Shares delivered or withheld in payment of the Option Price
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of exercise, as
determined by the Administrator by applying the provisions of the Plan.

         4. No Right of Employment or Service; Forfeiture of Incentive Option.
            -----------------------------------------------------------------
Neither the Plan, this Agreement nor any other action related to the Plan shall
confer upon the Participant any right to continue in the employment or service
of the Corporation or an Affiliate or interfere with the right of the
Corporation or an Affiliate to terminate the Participant's employment or service
at any time. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or this
Agreement or as determined by the Administrator, all rights of the Participant
with respect to the Incentive Option shall terminate upon termination of the
employment of the Participant with the Corporation or an Affiliate.

         5. Termination of Employment. Unless the Administrator determines
            -------------------------
otherwise, the Incentive Option shall not be exercised unless the Participant
is, at the time of exercise, an Employee and has been an Employee continuously
since the date the Incentive Option was granted, subject to the following:

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (a) The employment relationship of the Participant shall be treated
as continuing intact for any period that the Participant is on military or sick
leave or other bona fide leave of absence, provided that the period of such
leave does not exceed 90 days, or, if longer, as long as the Participant's right
to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract. The employment
relationship of the Participant shall also be treated as continuing intact while
the Participant is not in active service because of Disability. The
Administrator shall have sole authority to determine whether the Participant is
disabled and, if applicable, the Participant's Termination Date.

            (b) Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, if the employment
of the Participant is terminated because of Disability or death, the Incentive
Option may be exercised only to the extent vested and exercisable on the
Participant's Termination Date. The Incentive Option must be exercised, if at
all, prior to the first to occur of the following, whichever shall be applicable
(X) the close of the period of 12 months next succeeding the Termination Date;
or (Y) the close of the Option Period. In the event of the Participant's death,
the Incentive Option shall be exercisable by such person or persons as shall
have acquired the right to exercise the Incentive Option by will or by the laws
of intestate succession.

            (c) Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, if the employment
of the Participant is terminated for any reason, including Retirement, other
than Disability, death or for Cause, the Incentive Option may be exercised to
the extent vested and exercisable on his Termination Date. The Incentive Option
must be exercised, if at all, prior to the first to occur of the following,
whichever shall be applicable: (X) the close of the period of three months next
succeeding the Termination Date; or (Y) the close of the Option Period. If the
Participant dies following such termination of employment and prior to the date
specified in (X) of this subparagraph (c), the Participant shall be treated as
having died while employed under subparagraph (b) immediately preceding
(treating for this purpose the Participant's date of termination of employment
as the Termination Date). In the event of the Participant's death, the Incentive
Option shall be exercisable by such person or persons as shall have acquired the
right to exercise the Incentive Option by will or by the laws of intestate
succession.

            (d) Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, if the employment
of the Participant is terminated for Cause, the Incentive Option shall lapse and
no longer be exercisable as of his Termination Date, as determined by the
Administrator.

         6. Notice of Disposition. If Shares of Common Stock acquired upon
            ---------------------
exercise of the Incentive Option are disposed of within two years following the
date of grant or one year following the transfer of such Shares to the
Participant upon exercise, the Participant shall, promptly following such
disposition, notify the Corporation in writing of the date and terms of such
disposition and provide such other information regarding the disposition as the
Administrator may reasonably require.

         7. Limitation on Incentive Options. In no event shall there first
            -------------------------------
become exercisable by the Participant in any one calendar year Incentive Options
granted by the Corporation or any Parent or Subsidiary with respect to shares of
Common Stock having an aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time an
Incentive Option is granted) greater than $100,000. To the

                                       3
<PAGE>

extent that any Incentive Options are first exercisable by the Participant in
excess of such limitation, the excess shall be considered a Nonqualified Option.

         8. Nontransferability of Incentive Option. The Incentive Option shall
            --------------------------------------
not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation)
other than by will or the laws or intestate succession, or, in the
Administrator's discretion, as may otherwise be permitted in accordance with
Section 422 of the Code and related regulations. To the extent that this
Incentive Option is treated as a Nonqualified Option, the Incentive Option shall
not be transferable (including by sale, assignment, pledge or hypothecation)
other than by will or the laws of intestate succession, except as may be
permitted by the Administrator. Except as may be permitted by the preceding
sentences, the Incentive Option shall be exercisable during the Participant's
lifetime only by him or by his guardian or legal representative. The designation
of a beneficiary in accordance with the Plan does not constitute a transfer.

         9. Superseding Agreement; Binding Effect. This Agreement, together with
            -------------------------------------
the Plan, supersede any statements, representations or agreements of the
Corporation with respect to the grant of the Incentive Option or any related
rights, and the Participant hereby waives any rights or claims related to any
such statements, representations or agreements. This Agreement does not
supersede or amend any existing confidentiality agreement, nonsolicitation
agreement, noncompetition agreement, employment agreement or any other similar
agreement between the Participant and the Corporation, including, but not
limited to, any restrictive covenants contained in such agreements. This
Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and
assigns.

         10. Governing Law. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or herein,
             -------------
this Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the
State of New Jersey, without regard to the conflict of laws provisions of any
state, and in accordance with applicable federal laws of the United States.

         11. Amendment and Termination; Waiver. Subject to the terms of the
             ---------------------------------
Plan, this Agreement may be modified or amended only by the written agreement of
the parties hereto. The waiver by the Corporation of a breach of any provision
of this Agreement by the Participant shall not operate or be construed as a
waiver of any subsequent breach by the Participant. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator shall have unilateral authority to amend the Plan
and this Agreement (without the Participant's consent) to the extent necessary
to comply with applicable law or changes to applicable law (including but in no
way limited to Code Section 409A and related regulations or other guidance and
federal securities laws).

         12. No Rights as Stockholder. The Participant and his legal
             ------------------------
representatives, legatees and distributees shall not be deemed to be the holder
of any Shares subject to the Incentive Option and shall not have any rights of a
stockholder unless and until the Incentive Option is properly exercised and
certificates for the Shares purchased upon such exercise have been issued and
delivered to him or them.

                                       4

         13. Withholding; Tax Matters.
             ------------------------

                  (a) The Participant acknowledges that the Corporation shall
         require the Participant to pay the Corporation in cash the amount of
         any tax or other amount required by any governmental authority to be
         withheld and paid over by the Corporation to such authority for the
         account of the Participant, and the Participant agrees, as a condition
         to the grant of the Incentive Option and delivery of the Shares or any
         other benefit, to satisfy such obligations.

                  (b) The Participant acknowledges that there may be adverse tax
         consequences upon acquisition or disposition of the Shares subject to
         the Incentive Option and that the Participant should consult a tax
         advisor prior to such exercise or disposition. The Participant
         acknowledges that he has been advised that he should consult with his
         own attorney, accountant, and/or tax advisor regarding the decision to
         enter into this Agreement and the consequences thereof. The Participant
         also acknowledges that the Corporation has no responsibility to take or
         refrain from taking any actions in order to achieve a certain tax
         result for the Participant.

         14. Administration. The authority to construe and interpret this
             --------------
Agreement and the Plan, and to administer all aspects of the Plan, shall be
vested in the Administrator, and the Administrator shall have all powers with
respect to this Agreement as are provided in the Plan. Any interpretation of
this Agreement by the Administrator and any decision made by it with respect to
this Agreement is final and binding.

party such notice or other communication was delivered or given. Notices shall
be directed, if to the Participant, at the Participant's address indicated on
Schedule A (or such other address as may be designated by the Participant in a
manner acceptable to the Administrator), or, if to the Corporation, at the
Corporation's principal office set forth in Section 3 hereof, attention
President and Chief Executive Officer. Notice may also be provided by electronic
submission, if and to the extent permitted by the Administrator.

         16. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and if
             ------------
any one or more provisions may be determined to be illegal or otherwise
unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless
be binding and enforceable.

         17. Restrictions on Option and Shares. The Corporation may impose such
             ---------------------------------
restrictions on the Incentive Option and the Shares or other benefits underlying
the Incentive Option as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under the federal securities laws, the requirements of any stock
exchange or similar organization and any blue sky, state or foreign securities
laws applicable to the Incentive Option or the Shares. Notwithstanding any other
provision in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, the Corporation shall
not be obligated to issue, deliver or transfer the Shares, to make any other
distribution of benefits, or to take any other action, unless such delivery,
distribution or action is in compliance with all applicable

                                       5
<PAGE>

laws, rules and regulations (including, but not limited to, the requirements of
the federal securities laws). The Corporation may cause a restrictive legend to
be placed on any certificate for the Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of
the Incentive Option in such form as may be prescribed from time to time by
applicable laws and regulations or as may be advised by legal counsel.

         18. Cash Settlement. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
             ---------------
this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator may (subject to any
requirements imposed under Code Section 409A, related regulations or other
guidance) cause the Incentive Option or portion thereof to be cancelled in
consideration of an alternative option or cash payment of an equivalent cash
value, as determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion, made to the
Participant.

         19. Effect of Changes in Status. Unless the Administrator, in its sole
             ---------------------------
discretion, determines otherwise, the Incentive Option shall not be affected by
any change in the terms, conditions or status of the Participant's employment,
provided that the Participant continues to be in the employ of the Corporation
or an Affiliate. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator has sole
discretion to determine, at the time of grant of the Incentive Option or at any
time thereafter, the effect, if any, on the Incentive Option if the
Participant's status as an Employee changes, including but not limited to a
change from full-time to part-time, or vice versa, or if other similar changes
in the nature or scope of the Participant's employment occur.

         20. Right of Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or
             ---------------
this Agreement, the Corporation may reduce the amount of any payment otherwise
payable to or on behalf of the Participant by the amount of any obligation of
the Participant to the Corporation that is then due and payable and the
Participant shall be deemed to have consented to such reduction.

         21. Counterparts; Further Instruments. This Agreement may be executed
             ---------------------------------
in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all
of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

         22. Further Assurances. The parties hereto agree to execute such
             ------------------
additional instruments and to take such further action as may be reasonably
necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.
