TAMPA, FL, May 20, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- Elysium Internet, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EYSM), an emerging leader in the local online advertising and publishing space, today announced plans to launch its new local, ad free, professional search engine www.TheDirectory.com on Thursday, May 27th, 2010.

Elysium Internet Founder and CEO Scott Gallagher stated, "We're pleased that after several years of hard work the vision we've had for www.TheDirectory.com is about to become a reality. By focusing exclusively on the user experience we believe TheDirectory.com will become the preferred online destination to quickly access accurate information about local professionals. We don't charge users a fee to search for local doctors, lawyers and contractors and we don't bombard the site with irrelevant ads." Gallagher continued, "By contrast we've created a sound, high growth business model for TheDirectory.com that does not require an irrelevant ad based revenue channel to generate a profit. Local search will never be the same."

Elysium Internet also today announced that it has become a Qualified Google Advertising Partner based on its expertise creating and managing local advertising campaigns for small and medium sized businesses (SMB's).
