YHOO and PAGE! Yahoo! Secures Wireless Distribution on PageNet Pagers PageNet to Provide Pager Users With Wireless Access to Personalized Content, Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Calendar SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 4, 1999--Yahoo! Inc. (Nasdaq:YHOO - news), a global Internet media company, and PageNet® (Nasdaq:PAGE - news), a leader in wireless messaging and information, today announced an agreement to offer Yahoo!® branded information to PageNet's wireless subscribers. Under the agreement, PageNet will distribute Yahoo!'s personalized Internet services including personalized content, Yahoo! Mail and Yahoo! Calendar on a nationwide basis. The companies expect to make service available in the second quarter of 1999. Yahoo! users nationwide will have wireless access to personalized content through their PageNet pagers and other PageNet wireless devices. PageNet will deliver the co-branded services including personalized news features, stock quotes, weather, sports scores, horoscopes, email and calendar functions. In addition, dedicated links will appear on the users' co-branded PageNet My Yahoo! page. Yahoo! users can link directly to PageNet's Web site where they can subscribe to content or purchase paging service and equipment. The service will also enable users to receive alerts from their Yahoo! Calendar. With this functionality, users will be able to specify preferences for receiving notification in advance of important meetings or appointments. Users also will be able to receive email messages on their pagers via Yahoo! Mail that meet specific user-defined criteria. For example, preferences can be created to forward only urgent email messages, or messages from a designated sender. This personalized service will provide users with a mechanism to receive important email, via their pager, on a priority basis. ''Our goal has always been to make Yahoo! available to users of any device, from any access point, at any time,'' said Ellen Siminoff, vice president of business development and strategic planning, Yahoo! Inc. ''As part of our 'Yahoo! Everywhere' strategy, we are committed to distributing Yahoo! services through a range of PC, access, device and communication providers. With this service, users will be empowered by Internet functionality without being tied to a home or office PC.'' ''PageNet's partnership with Yahoo! is an important step as we continue to move forward in turning our Web-to-wireless vision into reality,'' said Bill Binning, vice president of marketing for information services, PageNet. ''Last year, more than 40 million messages were sent to PageNet subscribers via the Internet. But we've only scratched the surface: the ability to access all types of information without being tethered to a PC is the next logical step for Internet users. In teaming with Yahoo!, we have joined with a brand that has become synonymous with innovation and success in this medium.'' PageNet has developed a proprietary information services platform, or ''content engine,'' that enables it to efficiently unleash the powerful advantage of paging's multicast technology. This will allow users to select and receive personalized information at a fixed monthly subscription rate in addition to their monthly paging service fee. This compares with other information services, which charge on a per-message basis.

WOOD may double if web site gets fully operational later today or tommorrow Do your own DD but this company has built a solid support and from looking at its 90 day chart, technicals are very bullish. This might be more of a long term hold since their book is trading at close to .50 while trading at .16. This might not double like IMOT that I stated the other day but if momentum builds for the Web opening maderaintl.com we might get a nice bounce once news comes out. Check out their herbal lines-great money maker. With land sales on the way worth an estimated 93 million, the reward far outweighs the risk. Any thoughts? Great place to start to do your DD Message 8087158
