(New York, NY- October 16, 2000)- internet.com Corporation (Nasdaq: INTM), the Internet Industry Portal, today launched a new bureau to cover the thriving Internet market and community in the greater Phoenix area. The site is available at Phoenix.internet.com (http://phoenix.internet.com) and joins eight other regional sites launched by internet.com.

Meckler. "Phoenix.internet.com marks our ninth regional site and will serve as a gateway to the Southwest's developing Internet community."
The site will be under the direction of Managing Editor Sandra Kay Helsel, who brings with her over a decade of high-tech editorial experience to internet.com. Helsel has held top editorial positions at VR World, Multimedia Review, IRIS Universe Magazine and VR News. She has also authored numerous books, market directories and textbooks. "The Great American Southwest, with Phoenix as the hub, is experiencing dynamic growth and expansion with the Internet industry keeping pace. It's a significant opportunity to be part of this growth with Phoenix.internet.com's coverage," says Helsel.
