MORE NEWS: AuctionRover.com and Go2Net Collaborate To Deliver Premier Auction Search Capabilities for MetaCrawler RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2000--Adding the Internet's premier auction resource capabilities to MetaCrawler, the Web's #1-ranked metasearch service, AuctionRover.com(TM) - the one-stop, feature-rich resource for online auctions - today announced a partnership with Go2Net (NASDAQ: GNET), the ninth most-trafficked network on the Internet. The agreement establishes AuctionRover.com as the exclusive auction search engine for Go2Net's MetaCrawler metasearch service, which was relaunched today. AuctionRover.com provides a comprehensive, categorized and searchable index of more than 35 leading online auction sites - such as Yahoo! (NASDAQ: YHOO), Amazon.com (NASDAQ: AMZN), MSN (NASDAQ: MSFT), Auctions.com, etc - including the first licensed search of auction giant eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY). "We're pleased that, after comprehensive evaluation, Go2Net chose AuctionRover.com's cross-auction search for the MetaCrawler auction search capability," said Scot Wingo, AuctionRover.com CEO and co-founder. "Auction search capability is becoming a `must have' for the top Internet portals because of the high page views and stickiness it creates. AuctionRover.com is in a unique position to provide this functionality to partners such as Go2Net." "AuctionRover.com has established itself as a leader in simultaneously searching and indexing content from many of the Internet's leading auction services," said Oren Etzioni, Go2Net Chief Technology Officer. "We believe this capability represents a logical fit for MetaCrawler." Go2Net relaunched MetaCrawler today, extending its metasearch capabilities to the categories of auctions, music, and international while providing a completely updated user interface and site navigation scheme. More than simply an auction search capability, AuctionRover.com is the most comprehensive online auction resource to include bidder and seller services, as well as entertaining, informative and consistently updated content. For online bidders, AuctionRover.com features Rocket Rover(TM) - an advanced, proprietary cross-auction search engine that enables auction enthusiasts to find anything from antiques to xylophones in record time. Additionally, they can be notified about new items, monitor items of interest, and participate on several different auction sites simultaneously. AuctionRover.com gives sellers the power to post items across several auction sites, including larger players, like those mentioned above, in addition to hosting images and hit counters. These unique advantages ultimately enhance visibility and manageability. AuctionRover.com also has the industry's only Price Trending Service - a free service that enables bidders and sellers to view bid volumes and price histories of more than 350 popular auction items. About AuctionRover.com Founded in July 1999, AuctionRover.com is the one-stop resource for all online auctioning needs.

MetaCrawler has received numerous industry awards and citations, including PC Magazine's Editor's Choice for metasearch as well as being selected as one of the 'Top 100 Web sites in the World' by the same publication. This is EXACTLY what I meant by using every possible PR opportunity chance to mention the fact that Metacrawler is the best Metasearch engine on the web.We've got great features - nothing wrong with tooing our horn to the media ...EVERYONE else takes full advantage of it, in fact some go a little overboard. Nice to know that they are listening to us!
