NET SNIPPETS MAKES THE HOLIDAYS HAPPY FOR INTERNET USERS; PUTS WEB INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AT EVERYONE’S FINGERTIPS FOR FREE

FIRST FREE POST-SEARCH TOOL THAT FINALLY ALLOWS ALL INTERNET USERS TO SAVE AND ORGANIZE THEIR WEB RESEARCH INTO ONE LOCATION

Sunnyvale, CA, December 13, 2004 -- Net Snippets, the leader in Internet post-search solutions, today announced the first free post-search information management tool for everyday Internet users that saves and organizes web results in one easily-accessible location. Like Net Snippets’ other award-winning products, the new Free Edition provides web surfers with a simple and effective way to save and manage text, images, links and entire web pages. While some search engines let users save results from their site, Net Snippets allows users to save results from any search engine and any website in one convenient location. And, the Free Edition really is completely free – without time limitations or other restrictions.

The Net Snippets Free Edition features easy drag-and-drop operation that places snipped content from any source easily at hand. It is completely safe. No user information is ever captured, there is no usage tracking, and there are no hidden files or spyware.

It’s fast, it’s simple, and all the functionality of the Net Snippets Free Edition is contained in a single, light, one-minute 1.6mb download, available immediately from Net Snippets’ website at http://www.netsnippets.com. It works with Windows 98/2000/ME/XP and can be used with Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, and Netscape browsers.

Yael Elish, Net Snippets’ CEO, said, “Net Snippets is bringing the concept of free Internet search to post-search. Now, everyone who uses the Internet to search for information like sports statistics, recipes, health information, or anything else that interests them, can use Net Snippets’ Free Edition to collect it, organize it, add their own comments and notes, and easily share it with others, if they want. Users are in great need of tools for managing their online research and we’re proud to be the first to offer a completely free post-search solution that can be used by all Internet users, on any search engine or website and in conjunction with Google or any other desktop search product.”

Tens of thousands of individual professional and corporate users have been using Net Snippets’ stable, well-established applications for years. In fact, in mid-November, the Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) honored Net Snippets with its top technology award for 2004. And EContent Magazine this month recognized Net Snippets as one of the “EContent 100” companies of 2004. Now, with the Free Edition, regular Internet users will understand why Net Snippets has captured all this attention.

The new Free Edition extends the range of Net Snippets’ products, so now the needs of every category of Internet user are addressed – from casual surfers using the Free Edition to business, academic and professional researchers using the Standard and Professional Editions. All Net Snippets’ products are based on an open-standard, flexible architecture, rather then a proprietary format. They are optimized for performance, won’t slow the computer or browser, and by far the most stable and flexible technology available in the post-search space. All Net Snippets’ products are available from the Net Snippets website.
