PC Magazine Names Contact Networks 'A Top 100 Web Site'
Web-Based Contact Manager and Platform for Interpersonal Wireless Services Lauded by Leading Technology Magazine Prior to Actual Release.

REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., April 26, 2000 - PC Magazine, the leading technology publication, has named Contact Networks' unique address book service to "The Top 100 Web Sites," published in its April 26 issue. Contact Networks' contact-management tool was categorized among small-business services that are "especially useful and well designed and deliver on the promises they make," based on an assessment of a beta version, available at www.contact.com.

The magazine's editors wrote: "Contact.com … offers a fascinating blend of online and offline contact manager and address book capabilities. Since all users will keep their personal data up to date on the Web, a quick click of the synchronization button ensures that the offline version of your address book, which lives on your PC, contains the most recent info available."

In the same April 26 issue, Contributing Editor Greg Alwang gave Contact Networks four out of five stars in a "First Looks" review of the beta. Alwang was impressed by this "hybrid software application/service that uses the Web to solve one of the chief problems with PIMs and contact managers: Information quickly gets out of date as people switch jobs or move. As your business and personal contacts update their personal information, the changes are automatically synchronized with your local address book."

Contact Networks CEO Adam Hertz said, "We're gratified that PC Magazine's experts found this early beta version of our personal information sharing technology to be so useful. We look forward to the release of our Web-based application and support for wireless WAP phones later this summer. These new product enhancements will deliver on our vision of quality personal information, accessible everywhere."

Available on the Contact Networks web site, the beta version of the always-updated, always-accessible address-book is freely available for download. Launch of the complete offerings (web version, internet-enabled wireless phone version, voice activation) is scheduled for the summer of 2000.
