OneFN Launches Free DeskTop Financial News Alerting System — InvestorIntelligenceNetwork

Real Time Service Designed for the Active Personal Investor and Trader — Goes Beyond RSS News Feeds and News Bots

New York, New York, August 11, 2004 — OneFN, the leading investor network of Empire Media, Inc., announced it has released a new free desktop financial news alert service, the InvestorIntelligenceNetwork.

Active investors will have the ability to receive personalized desktop news alerts through a popup, mini-slider, email digest or a news ticker. Alerts will be filtered and sent based on users selecting their own categories of interest and entering their own personal trigger (filter) words, thereby ensuring they receive only the news they want to receive.

The alerts will be available by download from www.onefn.net and from its partner Web sites. TriggerNews PL, a privately-branded desktop news alerting product from News Technologies LLC, was selected as the underlying technology for the new service based on its rich set of features and functionality found nowhere else.

"This service offers investors a necessary edge by delivering real time news to the desktop, in a way that cuts through the clutter of email and obtuse Web sites," says Eric Levitt, OneFN President.

"These alerts are based on user identified triggers such as stock symbols or market terminology. Much has been written about "news bots", "RSS feeds" and "search alerts" but the new oneFN service offers a method that offers the best of all those technologies, drawing useful content from multiple Web sites.

"Some of our specialized content partners for launch will be GrowthReport, NewRatings, InvestorsObserver, StreetInsider and Mr.Swing, as well as more fact based feed services like MarketWire, BusinessWire and Primezone. The wide variety of content sources will ensure that our users get a 360 degree view on what is being written and reported on their holdings."

"The InvestorIntelligence alerting service will be the centerpiece of OneFN's strategy of providing cutting-edge delivery of relevant investor information from our own sources and those of our partner sites."

Find.com — the new business search engine — will also be a content and distribution partner for InvestorIntelligence.

OneFN developed the service having worked with online investor information for six years. It determined a class of active traders that do not subscribe to expensive real time information services nor have professional trading terminals, but who are interested in real-time alerts.
