NetCurrents Expands Technology and Product Development Departments in Anticipation of Launch of New Products
BURLINGAME, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 16, 2001--
Major Focus On Launch Of New Channel Sales Product: PR Manager
NetCurrents, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCS) announced today the completion of an expansion and restructuring of its Technology and Product Development Departments under the direction of Michael J. O'Hara, Vice President Product Strategy.
Under the new plan, Carlos Gonzalez, CTO and Andrew Maguire, Director of Product Development, will report directly to O'Hara who will act in tandem with Rebecca Callahan, Vice President Sales, in the future development of new products and services that will build on the Company's core technology.
"Since joining NetCurrents in late October, I have been working with the entire product organization to implement many of the product development processes that have been proven successful for over 15 years at major corporations such as Hughes where I previously worked," said O'Hara. "As we approach the release of our major new channel product, PR Manager, and as channel sales of AgencyFacts begin this month, I wanted to give our channel partners and direct customers the confidence that NetCurrents has the infrastructure in place to develop, test, deliver and maintain quality products that operate on a 24x7 basis. Developing new products and delivering them on time is critical to the success of our business plan."
Rebecca Callahan, Vice President Sales added, "We have put a great deal of time, money and emphasis into our new channel sales product line and we believe we are now at the threshold of a major product launch. We have entered into agreements with numerous top-tier public relations agencies who are our channel sales partners and who have expressed significant interest over the impending release of PR Manager. Our field marketing intelligence, combined with feedback from our channel sales partners, continues to assist us in the creation of a critically needed, totally unique product for the cost-effective management of multiple public relations' accounts. We believe that this product will maintain NetCurrents as a leader in providing real-time analysis and intelligence gathered from the Internet."
In order to support the new products program, the size of the product organization has grown from 10 to 17 since late October. "This increase," says O'Hara, "not only well positions us to maintain and enhance our CyberPerceptions, AgencyFacts and PR Manager products, but it also supports our initiatives this quarter, with additional partners not yet announced, to enter into two new major product areas."
"Our increased product development capability has already helped us with the release last quarter of a new CyberPerceptions module," says Callahan. "The Message Query Module enables all of our direct customers to search historically through our large database of over 2 million captured messages for those that are specifically relevant to them."
This capability will also bear on future upgrades intended to expand the Company's previously announced CyberProfile service, which today is only used with selected direct customers.

Wow,
I guess all that money that Tom made from the Olympics betting must have arrived today! :^p Hallsboy
NTCS and Kroll complete deal
The conclusion of the final deal is great news. This deal adds 150 new salesman to sell NTCS's services. The PR also talks about new products that will be exclusive to NTCS/Kroll. Kroll stated that they have already started selling NTCS's service to several of their clients. A few more of these strategic alliances and NTCS will be posed for take-off once again. - Hallsboy
Rainman, EMA is working with a cell phone company to produce a wireless phone with a viewable screen using their OLED technology. I have asked EMA who the cell phone company is. They said they couldn't respond because of disclosure laws. I have been very impressed with this company and think they will be going places. - Hallsboy
Rainman welcome to I-Hub. I am still long on CGPN and waiting for the Comdex show like everyone else. I am glad to see the stock get a thread here on I-Hub. This site is starting to get a lot of attention. - Hallsboy
Big News Today!!!!!!
It was posted on Yahoo that Victor Holtorf resigned several weeks ago. I called Matt Clawson at Allen&Caron to confirm. It is true. Victor resigned 6 weeks ago. Matt said NTCS will modify their website tomorrow to reflect changes. IMO, waiting 6 weeks to change the information is bad business. I guess the wanted to wait as long as possible. Matt still thinks 3rd quarter results will be good. I don't like how Irwin handled the Victor resignation, but I am willing to wait for 3rd quarter results. - Mike
PennyKing, I left you a message on the NTCS board.
I would appreciate knowing your interest in NTCS and why you have picked this company to make an offer. - Hallsboy
PennyKing, what makes you interested in NTCS?
Why wait until 12/31/00 to tender the offer? Shouldn't you make the offer based on the current depressed share price? I am very long on NTCS and am curious to your interest in the company. TIA, - Hallsboy
NetCurrents will be hosting the Competitive Intelligence conference in Cambridge, MA starting 6/21-23. Many of the speakers are from big name companies including Cisco, Xerox, Batetelle, Pfizer, Motorola, GM, Kodak, and others. This is great exposure and working together with companies make you wonder if they are already NTCS clients! IMO, this dog is about to jump off the porch! - good luck, Mike
Another Strategic Alliance
NEW YORK, June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomson Financial Investor Relations (TFIR), the world's leading provider of investor relations solutions and strategic advisory services, and NetCurrents Services Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NetCurrents Inc. (Nasdaq: NTCS), the premier Internet intelligence agency, today announced an exclusive alliance to co-develop and market new Internet monitoring services for the investor relations market. Under the alliance, the companies will create customized information services that enable TFIR's clients to monitor and analyze what is being written about them, in real-time, on the Internet.
It seems the big hurdle holding the price back is NTCS is not getting the analyst coverage needed to make this type of news release known. Hopefully soon the analyst will get on board and we will be moving back towards $10. - Mike
NTCS announces strategic alliance with Burrelle
Irwin comes through again. This alliance should really boost our client contact.

The 10k talks about a new web site www.bankeyesonly.com I have been trying to find this site without success. Anyone have info on this. I hope Tom is not up to his old tricks again. - Mike
Only at the urging of Kevin am I posting here. Not that I don't want to visit with old friends but the latest debacle we have weathered finally took it out of me as far as wanting to discuss a stock publicly.
I keep to myself mostly now except when I hear from someone by email.
I don't know diddly about what is going on right now. I have not talked to Manny in awhile. I still stay in touch with Scoobey and Fli fairly regularly.......they haven't a clue either.
I'm still holding just waiting and watching to see if anything develops. I will say that I was fairly unhappy to see Pazain leave.....I am told it was simply because the company was too small....still too much of a start up.....for him. hmmmmm......
I really miss you guys and the interactions we enjoyed. I don't think I will see such a "community" again....and that saddens me greatly. Of anything, that was what I treasured most out of ECNC and miss the most also.
sorry to be such a wet rag......
Hello old friends..
Kevin, Rob, Chris. Whatsssssuuuuuupp! Anyone heard from Manny? I got a great stock tip from the kid mowing the lawn! <g> Good to see you guys here. - Mike
I will be glad when this market correction is over. NTCS has had the crap beat out of it for no reason. They announced today that revenues have doubled and still no move in the price. Oh well, this one is still a diamond and will be a long term hold for me. Hope everyone is getting these cheap shares. - Mike
Matt, I plan to sell half @ $20. But then when we get to $20 I may change my mind. :)
Matt, you need to add
a automatic login so we don't have to type in the login info each time. - Mike
NetCurrents is still an undervalued play. Once the big name clients are announced this stock will be a rocket! - Hallsboy
