INTERNET.COM ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF CONSOLEWIRE.COM, THE ONLINE RESOURCE FOR NEXT-GENERATION INTERNET-ENABLED CONSOLES INCLUDING THE SONY PLAYSTATION 2 AND SEGA DREAMCAST
(New York, NY - October 26, 2000) - internet.com Corporation (Nasdaq: INTM), the Internet Industry Portal, today announced the launch of a new internally developed Web site, ConsoleWire.com (http://www.consolewire.com), to provide real-time news and information on the Internet-enabled console industry. The launch of ConsoleWire.com brings the number of Web sites to 144 in the internet.com Network.
"Internet-enabled consoles will be one of the great growth areas for all aspects of Internet communications and e-commerce in the coming years and we realized that there was no independent online source for news and information covering the business aspects of Internet-enabled consoles. We will continue to fill our users' demand for new content with internally developed sites if the specific area is not being well served. The development and launch of ConsoleWire.com is an excellent example of this approach," said internet.com Chairman and CEO Alan M. Meckler.
