EWRX Boosts Exposure Via Marketing Alliance Program With Katiesoft

      
    BELLINGHAM, Wash. - EWRX Internet Systems Inc. today announced it joined
the Katiesoft Marketing Alliance Program to boost exposure and take its
automotive e-Communities to Katiesoft's user base of more than one million
software downloads. The unique technology and alliance is an innovative,
no-cost, online marketing program that offers free downloads of the Katiesoft
web browser to EWRX e-Community members in exchange for introducing other
Katiesoft users to the EWRX family of automotive e-Communities.

    "ClassicCar.com and ClassicTruckShop.com were built into the largest
e-Communities of their kind via award-winning content and on-line guerrilla
marketing. The Katiesoft alliance fits that model perfectly and will
continually expose SpeedWRX.com, and our emerging portal, MotorWRX.com, and
all our e-Communities, to a large and growing base of Katiesoft users," said
Carl LaFlamme, vice president of marketing for EWRX.

    EWRX has placed a Katiesoft download banner on its automotive
e-Communities. Each time the browser is downloaded, and each time the browser
subsequently connects to the Net, the appropriate EWRX web site will be
displayed to one of Katiesoft's other users. Additionally, SpeedWRX.com is a
featured sports web site in the Katiesoft toolbar. The Katiesoft browser,
recently highlighted by Reuters/Livewire as a unique and valuable Internet
tool at Internet World 2000, displays four simultaneous web pages. Users that
track stocks, participate in their favorite e-Communities, or merely surf the
web, can receive dynamic information in each of the four web window panes.

   EWRX e-Community members will always see their favorite automotive e-Community or
the MotorWRX.com portal, and other Katiesoft users will have EWRX
e-communities added into one of the four panes.

    "We are very please to add EWRX's e-Communities to our growing base of
strategic partners," said Eric Hansen, vice president of marketing for
Katiesoft. "Their automotive sites -- ClassicCar.com, SpeedWRX.com,
ClassicTruckShp.com, and all the rest -- deliver valuable content for their
users. Our innovative browser will enhance the online experience of their
current members, while significantly boosting exposure and traffic from new
users."

    The EWRX family of automotive web sites now has 250,000-plus unique
monthly users, with a target of one million by the end of the year
