Hitsgalore.com Announces Partnership with RocketTalk PR Newswire - July 22, 1999 15:08 RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif., July 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Hitsgalore.com, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: HITT) today announced details about its new Portal Service(TM) offered in partnership with RocketTalk, Inc. Hitsgalore.com now offers a custom-branded Internet voice messaging service via its website at hitsgalore.com . This new Portal Service(TM) is free to Hitsgalore.com registered users. The voice messaging service, RocketTalk, is a downloadable software client that provides recording, compression, addressing, and send/receive functions, among others. RocketTalk is in use in over 150 countries planet-wide, and has received top awards from ZDNet, Tucows, and PC Magazine Extra. RocketTalk requires a Windows-based multimedia computer (with sound card, speakers, mouse and microphone) and an Internet connection. Typical users include families with members in other states or countries; telecommuters, mobile workers, and other professionals; those who don't, can't, or simply prefer not to type; and users who prefer a more "personal" method of messaging. Hitsgalore.com offers the service free to registered users who download a user interface that resides on the user's desktop. The user interface, or "icon," is labeled with Hitsgalore.com and provides a mini-search window to allow any user to go directly to the Hitsgalore.com web-site and conduct searches. "This product is very, very contagious. It's the best I've seen anywhere," said the Company's Director of Technology Dorian Reed. "We think it will spread like wildfire, and that means Hitsgalore.com and its sponsors, advertisers and members get the maximum exposure from this service." "We're delighted that Hitsgalore.com has joined our Partner Program," added Jeff Weiner, CEO of RocketTalk, Inc. "Hitsgalore.com offers an invaluable service to the Internet community, and the addition of RocketTalk will provide even more value for their site visitors and sponsors alike." Hitsgalore.com operates a business-to-business search engine, and gives away free banners, lifetime banner placements and other Portal Services(TM). The Company generates revenue from its Keyword Bid & Rank program, banner and other Portal Services(TM) sponsorship, and Local City Editions featuring local content. Hitsgalore.com strives to provide porn-free searching and does not accept or encourage any porn or adult-content listings on its site. Hitsgalore.com's profitable sponsor/advertiser driven business model also lets advertisers "pay for what they get" through a competitive real-time Keyword "Bid & Ranking" process. Advertisers have complete control of where they rank in the search results and only pay for actual "click-throughs" to their site. Sponsors of the free Portal Services(TM) seamlessly benefit by collecting a valuable opt-in database of quality contacts.
