WIZZF - Friday May 19, 5:00 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release SOURCE: WSi Interactive Corporation WSi Interactive and Nurv Media Form Business Alliance WSI INTERACTIVE CORPORATION CDNX - WIZ OTC - WIZZF VANCOUVER, May 19 /CNW-PRN/ - WSi Interactive Corporation is pleased to announce its business alliance with Nurv Media Corp, a private corporation based in California. WSi has previously acquired an interest in Nurv for $US250,000. Nurv Media, headed by Jim Sanderson, has been utilizing new rich media technologies to develop web environments that entertain, inform and stimulate niche markets - an area of the Internet both management teams believe to be growing at an extremely fast pace. Nurv Media's producers and developers bring a knowledge and history of media campaigns to this alliance, having in the past provided solutions for Adobe, Hewlett Packard, Sutter Health Systems, and Cal Trans. In addition, Nurv Media has brought together individuals who have previously been with or provided services to many Fortune 1000 companies, including Intel, Apple Computer, Mattel, and Seagate Technology, as well as the E.P.A and other government agencies. WSi's strategy is to combine Nurv's rich media web solutions with resources and infrastructure from WSi, allowing NURV the ability to ramp up its technical resources without the time and cost associated with building a serious back end. ``This alliance, enhanced by the complementary capabilities of WSi's various divisions, increases our range of contacts and clients,'' states WSi President Theo Sanidas. ``Working with and through Jim and Nurv Media provides us with an important content aspect for our broadband initiative.
