Technology) which is coupled with its efficient, flexible, client-specific
02) NetCurrent's unchallenged, unique business-to-business products (there is no competition
providing similar real-time services) ...
a) InvestorFacts and CyberProfile services: tracks and monitors more than 50,000 message

response to incorrect or otherwise corrupt postings.

reporting, add features unique to the client, and includes support for corporate branding and
customer perception.

representing sentiment of discussion, including positive/negative/neutral indicators. This is made
possible by NTCS's team of "internet strategists" and its FIRST search engine.

competition and allow them to maintain the appropriate perception of their company with the
public."
