Getty Images' Art.com Increases Commitment to Online Partners Including AOL, Netscape, Excite, DoubleClick and Yahoo!
PR Newswire, Wednesday, May 19, 1999 at 09:29
Web's Leading Source of Framed and Unframed Art Increases Targeted Advertising
on Leading Portal Sites
SEATTLE, May 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Art.com, the leading online sites for art
and art-related products, announced today that it has increased its
advertising commitment on websites including AOL and its subsidiary Netscape
(NYSE:AOL), Excite (NASDAQ:XCIT), DoubleClick (NASDAQ:DCLK) and Yahoo!
(NASDAQ:YHOO). Art.com, the consumer brand of Getty Images, Inc.
(NASDAQ:GETY), plans to use increased visibility on these leading portal
sites to extend its reach into existing and new markets for the more than
100,000 images available on its e-commerce site www.art.com. Art.com's 1999
online advertising expenditures are anticipated to increase at least seven-
fold over 1998.
With one of the web's largest collections of framed and unframed art,
Art.com makes art more accessible, affordable, and easier to select and
purchase. Through increased use of targeted advertising and sponsorships on
key web portal sites, Art.com's aim is to increase its exposure to audiences
interested in purchasing decorative art for homes, offices, college
dormitories or as gifts, thus continuing to strengthen its presence in the
estimated $9 billion consumer market for art and art related products. In the
very near future, selected content from Getty Images' other branded
collections will be added to the Art.com site, increasing the number and
variety of images available on the site.
"Our success with online advertising, on AOL, Yahoo! and other sites, is
illustrated by the more than 400 percent increase in user sessions on the site
during the first four months of 1999. This increase demonstrates the value of
advertising on the most popular and trusted brand-name portals on the web,
said Bill Lederer, Chief Executive Officer of Art.com. "We remain fully
committed to building on our lead in the consumer art marketplace and our
increased advertising expenditures reflect this commitment."
Art.com also intends to strengthen its presence on web sites that appeal
specifically to women, its largest customer segment. Sites such as iVillage
(NASDAQ:IVIL), HomeArts and the Women.com network will also see increased
sponsorship this year. |

InterNAP Signs Deal With Art.com to Provide High-Speed Internet Connection
BusinessWire, Friday, June 11, 1999 at 08:23
CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 11, 1999--
Agreement Gives Consumers Faster Access to
the Web's Largest Art Collection
Continuing to help e-commerce retailers reach their customers
faster and increase online sales, InterNAP Network Services today
announced the signing of Art.com in conjunction with the launch of its
Chicago Private Network Access Point.
Art.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of Getty Images, Inc.
(NASDAQ:GETY), has more than 100,000 images on display and for sale in
its Art Gallery, the largest art collection online, according to the
company. Linked to InterNAP's Chicago Private Network Access Point
(P-NAP SM), Art.com will benefit from InterNAP's proprietary
Assimilator(TM) routing technology that allows data to bypass public
exchange "choke points" on the Internet.
"With the variety of images and colors displayed on Art.com,
speed of connection and consistent download times are a challenge and
a necessity," said Don Fosen, chief information officer for Art.com.
"InterNAP's technology dramatically improves our connection, allowing
the visuals on our Web site to download rapidly. In addition, our
customers can be confident that when they make a purchase, their
confidential information is transferred in the quickest, most secure
manner available."
Under terms of the agreement, Seattle-based InterNAP has linked
Art.com to its Private Network Access Point in Chicago. InterNAP's
P-NAP and proprietary Assimilator(TM) software together orchestrate
the routing and security of mission-critical data in a faster, more
reliable manner than conventional routing technology. P-NAP service
routes the data traffic of InterNAP's customers--including online
retailers, enterprise corporations and Internet service providers--in
a way that bypasses conventional modes of traffic exchange between the
many networks that comprise the Internet.
"Art.com is a leader in a $9 billion industry that will continue
to expand as the Internet continues to evolve as both an entertainment
tool and a budding retail environment," said Tony Naughtin, CEO of
Seattle-based InterNAP. "Establishing its Internet connection with
InterNAP enables Art.com to deliver a consistent user experience to
their customers, attracting more visitors to the site and retaining
their attention longer through faster download times."
InterNAP services are currently available in New York, San Jose,
San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles and Washington D.C and Chicago.
InterNAP plans to continue to deploy P-NAPs in other major U.S. cities
through 1999. Other customers include Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN),
Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Datek Online, The Street.Com (NASDAQ:TSCM).
Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Seattle, InterNAP is a
privately held company that provides Internet service that is faster
and more reliable than conventional Internet technology. InterNAP has
developed a breakthrough routing and route management technology
specifically designed to deliver data directly to and from
destinations across the Internet, eliminating the packet loss and
latency caused by increased over-capacity. For more information, visit
www.internap.com.

Undiscovered? Deerbrook Publishing Group Inc ( DBPG)moved from 20 cents to almost 4 bucks in about 30 days, so I would not say that it is "undiscovered." Maybe it is undiscovered by some people, but this stock has way too much hype and hope associated with it...note the following PR release:
"
PHOENIX, Aug. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Deerbrook Publishing Group (OTC Bulletin Board: DBPG - news), Deerbrook Publishing Group announced today that a
large block of stock that was traded today at a price below recent prices that the company believes removes a substantial block of stock which has been overhanging
the market and that may have been artificially depressing, or will artificially depress, the trading price of the company's stock. The buyer now owns over 4% of the
stock of Deerbrook Publishing Group. The individual that sold his position was a long time shareholder and the sale was unrelated to any negative perception of
Deerbrook current position. In fact, Keith Chesser, Deerbrook's chairman and CEO, noted that: Deerbrook's online e-commerce site artup.com and the artup.com
networks (www.artup.com) will launch later this month. Artup.com is modeled for a high revenue and high profit Internet company. Chesser also noted that the
company is expected to earn .30 per share next year with over 15 million in revenues. None of these revenues include sales directly to the retail market. Artup.com
should give Deerbrook the ability to achieve higher margins for the company and increase shareholder value. Chesser also expressed that it is his belief that
Deerbrook and artup.com will be a significant player in the art industry, an industry that is generates over 20 billion in sales per year. For these reasons Chesser
expressed that it is his belief that the stock is undervalued."
I will watch, thank however...
