Inflow Delivers Perfect Performance To Support News Technologies’ TriggerNews^® Product

News Alerting Service Demands Scalability and Reliability for Rapid Growth

Portland, Oregon, April 17, 2003 -- Today, Inflow Inc., a leading provider of managed web application hosting and outsourced IT services, announced the addition of new customer News Technologies LLC, based in Portland. News Technologies developed the innovative TriggerNews^® news alerting service that is gaining prominence quickly since its launch in February of this year.

"In our search for a provider, we evaluated the top three in Portland, looking for a ‘class act,’" said Steve Burrows, president of News Technologies. "Inflow stood out because it was the most professional, secure and reliable in our local area."

"News Technologies is the type of company that knew exactly what it wanted from a facility and solutions standpoint," said Preston Jones, general manager for Inflow in Portland. "Inflow’s premier data center coupled with unparalleled customer service capabilities proved to be the ideal solution for their requirements."

TriggerNews is a low cost subscription news service that instantly delivers targeted news to subscribers based on their user-defined parameters such as company name, stock symbol and/or key word phrases. When any of these "triggers" match an identical word or phrase in the subject header of a news release, a pop-up alert window instantly appears on the user’s computer display.

The underlying technology for TriggerNews is its unique TriggerEngine^® core, which scans, matches, filters and routes only selected news to respective users. To support the unique technology, the company needed a provider that focused on performance and scalability to support a wide range of users.

"All of our news sources are direct feeds. That's part of our value proposition. We process and route incoming news stories in milliseconds when a user's triggers are matched", said Burrows. "To that end, we cannot afford to be at the mercy of performance issues. With Inflow's high-end communications network, performance to our users is ensured."

According to Burrows, his company experienced a "flawless" migration into the Inflow facility and has experienced "perfect performance" ever since.

"During our migration, we were up and running in minutes. It literally took longer to hook up the hardware to the wires than for us to be up and running," he said.

Burrows also commented on the benefit of Inflow’s customer service.

"Inflow’s remote support is important to us, because I don’t want to have my IT staff down at the data center every day," Burrows said. "The technical assistance also enhances consistent operations. We’ve had no incidents in two months of operations."

News Technologies receives colocation and Internet access services from Inflow.

About TriggerNews

TriggerNews^® is a premium, low-cost subscription news service developed and offered by News Technologies LLC.

TriggerNews was originally conceived as a ground-breaking stock trader's tool, but over time it also evolved into an instant information product to service the knowledge needs of corporations or individuals who want to obtain real-time breaking news on companies, products, industries or important worldwide events.

TriggerNews instantly delivers targeted real-time news to subscribers based on their own user-defined "triggers". A trigger can be a company name, stock symbol and/or ANY key word or phrase a user desires. Only news releases identically matching the trigger will cause a news alert. Alerts come in the form of a popup window, which means users do not need to periodically review web sites, closely monitor streaming news or open up email alerts they may receive. Users can be going about their normal routine and subsequently be instantly informed of breaking news the moment it happens. The process is entirely automatic. They are alerted only when a breaking story based on their own personal trigger activates an alert.
