News just out on Beta launch. Access tomorrow at 11:00 am PST. All weekend to play and test. Sounds like they are ready to move and so is the stock. . . . . ********************************************** WelcomeTo Search Engine Announces Initial Release of the WelcomeTo Regional Internet Business Directory VANCOUVER, BC, March 31 /CNW/ - WelcomeTo Search Engine, Inc. (OTCBB: WKWG), a leader in the development of integrated internet business directories and e-commerce solutions, announced that it will be releasing the beta version of its regional business directory and search engine at 11:00 a.m. PST, April 1, 1999. As planned, the release will deliver immediate access to accurate business listings for communities in the vicinity of Vancouver, BC and provide merchants with the ability to target their advertising and promote their electronic storefronts to users in their local markets. WelcomeTo will commence a national rollout in the US and Canada on June 30, 1999. The Company's vision is to be the regional portal of choice for Web users and small businesses alike, by facilitating the ease with which users can locate and purchase products and services from merchants in their local communities. ''It's important to note that this release is a live product, not a mocked up demo,'' stated Phil Dubois, President & CEO of WelcomeTo. ''We have over 140,000 current business listings in the directory, covering not only Vancouver but the entire province of British Columbia. The purpose of the beta release is to test and optimize performance and to receive user feedback so we can further enhance the product we'll roll out in other cities starting at the end of June.'' ''This release firmly establishes our competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our targeted advertising and promotional services allow merchants to establish a strong local Internet presence and our integrated suite of e-commerce offerings allows them to offer their products for sale online.'' ''We are unique in offering advertising and listing services at the levels available in our product today. A merchant can list and advertise in an overall category or in a sub-category, for example restaurants or Italian restaurants, and in a metro area or in a specific community, for example Greater Vancouver or the suburb of Burnaby.'' ''Our ability to break down listing and advertising services to this level means that merchants can choose to target their Internet promotions broadly or quite narrowly. It gives us a tremendous number of slots to sell and an ability to price these very affordably to match the audience being reached. This model has been enthusiastically received by the many companies who are participating in the Vancouver release program.'' As well as the regional business directory, the WelcomeTo site provides a link to the Xpress/Sites e-commerce products that allow merchants to build their own storefronts and catalogs. Once built, these sites will be linked to the merchant's directory listings. The WelcomeTo site also provides a list of the Top 10 regional Vancouver sites for news, entertainment and information and links to national and regional e-commerce sites selling products as diverse as books, CDs and computers. The WelcomeTo regional business directory can be accessed after 11:00 a.m. PST on April 1, 1999 at www.welcometosearch.com About WelcomeTo Welcome To Search Engine, Inc. is a rapidly-growing developer of regional business directory services and e-commerce solutions that deliver high value to Web users and small businesses.
