FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

MagPortal.com Makes Free Feeds Available to Web Sites

BRYN MAWR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 3, 2000--Free data feeds now available on Hot Neuron LLC's http://MagPortal.com site allow web site owners to place current magazine article listings on their sites.

MagPortal.comSM has implemented data feeds which allow web site owners to display its most recent article listings from over 200 categories on their sites. With only a few minutes' time and no programming experience, site operators can browse the categories at MagPortal.com and obtain a small piece of HTML code to insert into their web pages providing an automatically-updated listing of article links for their area of interest. The colors, fonts, and other parameters of the feeds can be adjusted for clean integration with any site. Feeds are available in JavaScript, XML, and RSS formats. In contrast to Moreover.com or iSyndicate's Express service, the MagPortal.com feeds include brief descriptions of the articles and links to find similar articles.

"The free feeds create stickiness for web sites by providing them with quality, current information that is targeted to their users," according to Bill Dimm, the founder and CEO of Hot Neuron LLC. The feeds cover over 200 topics that range from business to politics, entertainment, technology, health, and sports.

MagPortal.com is a content aggregator providing links to free online magazine articles on a broad array of topics from many publishers. It provides a full-text search engine and a directory where each article is categorized so that a user can easily find articles on a particular topic regardless of where they were published. The site also features a weekly newsletter that highlights the most interesting recent articles.

MagPortal.com normally adds new articles to its index within one business day of their publisher putting them on the web, while generic search engines can take weeks to index a new web page. Another advantage is its ability to sort results by date. MagPortal.com was recently ranked seventh on SquirrelNet.com's Top 20 Search Engines list, placing it above Yahoo!

Hot Neuron LLC, an Internet software and services company located in Bryn Mawr, Pa., owns and operates MagPortal.com. See http://HotNeuron.com for more information.
