Newsgurus.Com Launches New Website
===========================================================================
The Management of CanAlaska Ventures Ltd. ("CanAlaska") is pleased to
announce that the newsgurus.com e-Commerce enabled web site is
now in
operation.
NewsGurus.com, Inc, ("NewsGurus") is a news media company utilizing
Internet technology to provide expert opinion and analysis of news and
current events. NewsGurus has developed a dynamic database-driven web site
that categorizes and centralizes opinions and thoughts of a wide-ranging
group of recognized experts. Initially focused on the areas of Finance and
Investments, plans exist for additional modules providing trusted
commentary in the areas of Health and Wellness, and Lifestyles.
NewsGurus members can interact with a growing list of established analysts
and members. Analysts can aggregate and syndicate their content to the
web, radio and print media at no cost to them. Public companies can
communicate with our members. E-commerce partners will provide members with
discounted goods and services. The Newsgurus Points program will benefit
all participants while an existing member referral program will award a
US$3,000 cash prize to the person who introduces NewsGurus to the largest
number of new registrants.
Chris Bunka, President and CEO of NewsGurus.com, says, "We are pleased to
be able to launch our web site on schedule and under budget. Our
development team has built a particularly robust and flexible engine around
which we will be adding innovative features. Our content is exclusive to
NewsGurus and as such most of our content is not available elsewhere on the
Web nor in traditional media."
CanAlaska can earn up to 26% of NewsGurus.com Inc, and 51% of a joint
venture company with exclusive rights to EuroNewsGurus, through staged
equity payments. Through its investments in the NewsGurus companies,
CanAlaska can become an important content aggregator bridging the
convergence gap between New Media and Old Media.
CanAlaska is a Tier One - CDNX diversified resource exploration company
with investments in two growth oriented information technology companies
which have the potential to become industry leaders in their fields -
NewsGurus (see release March 23, 2000 - website www.newsgurus.com) and
WebDispatchers (see release February 23, 2000 - website
webdispatchers.com ).
CanAlaska is debt free and is in the process of raising an additional $4.5
million dollars (see release February 23rd, 2000).
