11,000 Distributors Pre-Registered
BEDFORD, NS, June 7 /CNW/ - InfoInterActive Inc. (Montréal Exch: IIA)

wholly-owned subsidiary of Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq: YHOO), a leading global

and services from merchants.
InfoInterActive is joining over 20 online merchants in the Pages That Pay
program, including MSN Expedia, Staples.com, Tickets.com, Barnesandnoble.com,
Egghead.com, and Value America. ''We are pleased to be working with one of the
world's largest and most recognizable Internet media companies'' said
InfoInterActive's President and CEO, Bill McMullin. ''We look forward to
sharing revenues generated in this effort with Yahoo! GeoCities' homesteaders,
who will help us spread the word about Internet Call Manager from their
homepages.'' Homesteaders can sign up immediately at
www.geocities.com/pagesthatpay, and will be receiving more information shortly
as part of the Pages That Pay program.
Internet Call Manager Answers the ''I'm on the Internet'' Busy Phone Line
Problem
Internet Call Manager is the patented service for Internet users who
recognize they are missing phone calls while online. Using software downloaded
for free, and enjoying a free trial period to experience the service, Internet
Call Manager users can surf worry-free knowing when someone tries to call them
they will be notified instantly via a pop-up box on their computer screen.
Each pop-up displays the number and name (where available) of the calling
party and allows the user to choose from a number of call handling options.
Internet Call Manager can be used with any Internet service provider or online
service such as AOL.
Internet Call Manager on Yahoo!
There are now over 3,000,000 homesteaders who maintain home pages on
Yahoo! GeoCities, and all will be invited to advertise Internet Call Manager
via the Pages That Pay program. Over 11,000 had pre-registered before the
launch. In addition to its participation in the Pages That Pay program with
Yahoo! GeoCities well-established homesteader community, InfoInterActive will
participate in a banner advertising program spanning a number of Yahoo!'s
properties. ''The value of working with Yahoo! GeoCities far exceeds any
direct marketing partnership we have ever undertaken,'' contends Mr. McMullin.
''This represents a key development in the continued advancement of Internet
Call Manager into a service staple - as vital to Internet users as e-mail or a
web browser, and a natural complement to dial-up Internet access.''
