ProNetLink.com Generates Positive Reaction at 1999 International Business Expo
NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire/ -- ProNetLink.com®, (PNL) (OTC Bulletin Board: PNLK - news) pronetlink.com, announced today that it is very pleased with the response that Global Trade Internetwork received during its introduction at the 1999 International Business Expo held in New York City.
The ProNetLink exhibit, the largest at the IBE show, also held the most interest among attendees. ''During the day we were both broadcasting live over the Internet and making demonstrations of the site to the audience,'' said Glenn Zagoren, Chairman of ProNetLink. ''We had a very positive reaction from business executives that participated in the demonstrations of www.pronetlink.com. And if we can impress the New York trade community I feel even more confident that we are on the right track to impress the rest of the world.''
During the demonstrations of the site the ProNetLink booth regularly contained standing room only and the Netcasts drew large crowds to watch the interviews that were produced live from within the exhibit and presented simultaneously on a big screen TV in the demonstration area.
''We had a very good response to the broadcast with over 1000 concurrent video streams running at all times during the live show,'' said Dave Walker, COO of ProNetLink. ''We expect to have an even higher rate of hits once we are able to count the number of viewers that watched the archived version of the show that is available on-demand from our site for the next 90 days. Due to the time differences around the world we expect that even more people will watch the taped version then did the live show.'' To watch the on-demand version of the IBE show please go to pronetlink.com and visit ''netcasting.''
The number of visitors (not to be, confused with hits) to the ProNetLink.com's Global Trade Internetwork has now topped 10,000 since the launch 6 days ago. This included two weekend days.

Hauser, President, Hauser Air Corp. and Peter Tirschwell, Editor, The Journal of Commerce.
