Growth:
We increased our registered user base from approximately
54,132 persons in June 1998 to 291,567 in July 1999. From
June 1998 to October 1999, the number of pages viewed by
our users increased from 3.0 million to 73.9 million per
month. We achieved a significant increase in registered
users and user traffic in January and February 1999, in
part as a result of our purchase for $223,000 in December
1998 from Mandic S.A. of its chat rooms in Brazil and their
integration into our network. In August 1999, our number of
registered users and our user traffic increased
significantly. This latter increase was attributable, in
part, to the launching on August 1, 1999 of our first mass
media-based branding and advertising campaign. In the first
three months of this campaign, our registered users
increased by approximately 69% to 498,515 at October 31,
1999 and the number of pages viewed by our users increased
by over 250% to 73.9 million in the month of October 1999.
We commenced measuring unique visitors in March 1999. The
number of unique visitors has increased from 174,800 in
March 1999 to approximately 1.6 million in October 1999.
