Excite@Home Partners With DoDots to Enhance Service for Business Professionals On Work.com Leading Business Portal to Leverage DoDots' Unique Technology Excite@Home Partners With DoDots to Enhance Service for Business Professionals On Work.com Leading Business Portal to Leverage DoDots' Unique Technology REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Mar 13, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Excite@Home (Nasdaq: ATHM), the leader in broadband, today announced that it has licensed Dots(TM) technology from DoDots of Palo Alto, California. DoDot's unique technology will enable live web content to be created outside the browser, allowing users to access the Work.com service even when they are working in other applications. (Photo: newscom.com ) A comprehensive set of Work.com Dots(TM) will be available on the Work.com site (www.work.com). With a single click of the mouse, users can access Dots(TM) that will help search and navigate the service. For example, users will be able to search for companies, news, and industries among other types of information from the Work.com dots. Because the dots are small in size, a user can have multiple dots open at the same time while taking up far less screen real estate than a single browser window at full screen. DoDots(TM) distribution infrastructure also allows Dots(TM) to be easily shared with others, much like e-mail messages, which will aid in the further distribution of Work.com Dots(TM). "This is a valuable addition to Work.com's service," said David Williams, Work.com general manager, Excite@Home. "DoDots' technology will make Work.com a more flexible tool in serving the needs of our business users." Excite@Home and Dow Jones recently announced an agreement to form a new company, Work.com that will build on the existing business portal. The new company will leverage the portal experience of Excite and the premier business content of Dow Jones, building on the initial success of the existing Work.com and Dow Jones' dowjones.com.
