LAS VEGAS, Feb 24, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Preference Technologies(TM), Inc.
(OTCBB:PFER), today announced its inaugural product, the Global Information
Gateway (GIG)(TM).
The GIG is a free software product that acts as the world's most resourceful and
effective multi-channel communications and information aggregator, delivering
real-time, customizable news and information to a user's desktop. Each channel
provides specialized and customized information in various lifestyle areas
(e.g., business, sports, entertainment, etc.).
QuoteStream(TM), Channel One, was the first channel to be introduced for the
GIG, providing the user with up-to-the-minute business and financial
information. The GIG, with QuoteStream, is currently available at
www.quotestream.com.
Like QuoteStream, each additional channel on the Global Information Gateway will
organize news and information pertaining to the lifestyle subject matter of that
specific channel. In addition to becoming the next generation in searching for
information on the Internet, the GIG also provides a direct communication link
to the consumer, enabling the client to launch more effective targeted marketing
campaigns.
The GIG is the first of many products and technologies under development at
Preference Technologies, each designed to retain traffic and direct unique users
to the client's Web site.
"The Global Information Gateway is the first step in providing Internet users
better access to news and information," said Kingsley Sur, vice president of
business development for Preference Technologies.
"Its ability to sift through, organize and present real-time information that
you, the user, can customize is immeasurably powerful. Combine this with its
ability to build brand recognition and provide a two-way communication link for
potential partners to consumers, and you not only have the next generation in
Internet technology, but also the future of how business will be done on the
net," said Kingsley.
