Content & Media Segment
The company's online nostalgia websites have historically enabled users to locate and interact with acquaintances from their past, with high school affiliations as the primary focus. The company's increasing focus on nostalgia in its U.S. operations led to the launch of MemoryLane.com, a premier provider of nostalgic content from the years 1940 through 1999. Visitors can explore a broad range of content on www.memorylane.com that includes vintage magazines, historic video newsreels, classic sports highlights, movie trailers, cover art and song samples from memorable albums, timeless photos, and the largest collection of high school yearbooks online. Classmates, which launched in 1995 as one of the first social networking websites, is now a part of Memory Lane.

The company also operates five international online nostalgia services including StayFriends in Austria (www.stayfriends.at), StayFriends in Germany (www.stayfriends.de), StayFriends in Sweden (www.stayfriends.se), StayFriends in Switzerland (www.stayfriends.ch), and Trombi in France (www.trombi.com).

The company's online loyalty marketing service, MyPoints (www.mypoints.com), provides advertisers with an effective means to reach a large online audience with targeted marketing campaigns. The MyPoints program also enables consumers to earn points-based rewards by responding to email offers, completing online surveys, shopping online and engaging in other online activities. Rewards points are redeemable in the form of third-party gift cards and other benefits from over 75 merchants, including retailers, theaters, restaurants, airlines and hotels.
