DIDAX INC. Web Community Crosswalk.com Named '1998 Christian Web Site
of the Year'
Site Described as 'Well Ahead of the Pack' by Best of the Christian Web
CHANTILLY, Va., Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- DIDAX INC. (Nasdaq: AMEN) today announced that its award-winning
crosswalk.com Web community has been named the "1998 Christian Web Site of the Year" by Best of the
Christian Web (BOTCW) for the second year in a row. Crosswalk.com (http://www.crosswalk.com) is the first
back-to-back recipient of the award given annually to recognize the Web site which provides the most useful
information and services and does so in an attractive and easy to use manner.
"Crosswalk.com took huge strides in 1998 to not only be the best Christian Web site on the Internet but to also
pull well ahead of the pack," Jeff White, president of BOTCW, said. "Other Christian Web sites ... will have their
work cut out for them in 1999." BOTCW, a project of NetCross, Inc., was founded in 1995 to help users find the
best Christian Web sites on the Internet.
Key factors influencing the award for 1998 include: the recent release of CrossingGuard, a free Web access
filtering service; a full-Web filtered search engine powered by Inktomi; new in-depth content channels on
Christian music and personal finance; and a streamlined interface to go along with the new branding and URL
of the site.
"We're pleased to receive this award for the second consecutive year," William Parker, CEO and president of
DIDAX, said. "It further motivates us to press on to implement our business plan because this award lends
objectivity to our belief that we're focusing -- and delivering -- on the most important things for our targeted
audience.
"Of course, the real rewards have been coming all along as we've seen key metrics like pageviews, members
and revenues grow dramatically over the past year. When our visitors come back, stay longer, register as
members and tell their friends, we know we're succeeding in meeting the needs of the Christian community on
the Internet."
