THE INTERNET 800 DIRECTORY AND WHOWHERE? INC.™
ANNOUNCE PARTNERSHIP TO MAKE 800 NUMBERS MORE ACCESSIBLE ON THE INTERNET.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (December 13, 1996) - The Internet 800 Directory (http://Inter800.com), a division of JAServices, Inc., together with WhoWhere?,Inc. (http://whowhere.com), today announced that they have entered into an agreement whereby both Directory services have created search vehicles allowing users to specify queries which will access their respective WWW data bases in order to search for information from both. As an example, a user accessing WhoWhere?'s home page looking for information about people or businesses can also access toll-free listings provided by The Internet 800 Directory. The Internet 800 Directory will also provide its users a link to the WhoWhere? service.

According to Steven A. Jackson, President of JAServices, "This arrangement greatly enhances the services available to the Internet user in order to quickly access, from a single desk-top application, information that would otherwise require multiple inquiries. Also, since the Internet 800 Directory is an important tool for businesses because it enables them to be located on the WWW, and provides a toll free number for the user to call, this exposure and "pass-through" capability, through a site as popular as WhoWhere?, will increase their exposure. Therefore, both of our companies' value to these businesses will also increase."

Since both WhoWhere? and The Internet 800 Directory offer expanded listing and services, plus advertising opportunities, this arrangement will be a significant benefit in increasing the number of exposures in these areas as well.

"The ability to access toll-free listings further enhances WhoWhere?'s other search services including a global e-mail directory, U.S. residential phone and address listings, companies on the net, the largest index of personal home pages," said Ashu Roy, Chairman of WhoWhere? Inc. "We chose to partner with The Internet 800 Directory because they have the most comprehensive directory of 800 and 888 listings on the Internet."

THE INTERNET 800 DIRECTORY

The Internet 800 Directory was created on the WWW by JAServices, Inc. in December, 1995, and has grown to over 300,000 business listings. It was the first and only major toll-free entry into a market that allowed all businesses to be listed regardless of carrier, as opposed to AT&T's proprietary toll-free Directory.

The Internet 800 Directory provides free listings and searches by company name, business category, 800/888 number and by state. Businesses can electronically submit their listing information via the Web site or by dialing a toll-free number. Additional access links on the site allow customers to send comments, look at terms and conditions, or view featured listings of advertisers.

Charles H. Arning, Jr., Executive Vice President of JAServices, Inc. added, "For most businesses this is the first time that they have been able to list their 800/888 number, free, and have it accessible to 50 million users, world wide. Plus, one of the key reasons for the success and appeal of the additional advertising feature is the ease in which the directory produces effective, inexpensive ads."

JAServices, Inc. also owns and operates other divisions which provide Internet-related products and services such as Web sites, Internet catalogs and intranet applications.

WHOWHERE?, INC.

WhoWhere? Inc., based in Mountain View, CA, is the leading online directory of people and business information from around the world, including e-mail addresses, telephone listings, business URLs and personal home pages. The company continues to develop easy-to-use network-based services which facilitate global communication and collaboration.

The association with the Internet 800 Directory is another step in WhoWhere?'s corporate plan to create the right partnerships in order to fulfill and enrich its directory premise. According to Steve Westly, Vice President, who spoke at the national Directories & Yellow Pages On The Internet seminar, the directory premise is to allow users to "Find, Communicate and Collaborate."

Examples of this strategy are evidenced by WhoWhere?'s other strategic partners, which include include Microsoft, Intel, Netscape, and BigBook.
