FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Highlands Ranch, CO - February 24, 2003 - Reinacker & Associates, Inc. =
has
released NewsGator 1.0, a news aggregator for Microsoft Outlook. =
NewsGator
retrieves news from multiple sources such as weblogs and news sites that
support the RSS syndication format, and integrates the news items into
Outlook folders.

News aggregators such as NewsGator are becoming more mainstream as more
sites syndicate their content, and are changing the way people view the =
web.
There are thousands of weblogs alone, with content covering nearly every
subject area. "NewsGator has had a huge positive impact on my web
experience," said Adam Howitt from Biolab, Inc.

Other tools on the market require users to learn to use a new =
application to
read weblogs and news articles; NewsGator leverages the experience many
users already have with Microsoft Outlook. "Outlook integration is a =
killer
feature," said George Young, Tulane University. "To be able to view =
weblog
posts in the same application as my e-mail is fantastic." By allowing =
these
users to leverage the powerful organizational features of Outlook in new
ways, NewsGator enhances their web experience.

NewsGator is also the natural choice for companies starting to deploy
weblogs internally on their intranets. Since Outlook is the de facto
standard email application within many companies, it's an easy decision =
to
read the syndicated weblog feeds inside of Outlook as well.

NewsGator also includes the "NewsPage", which is a single page =
summarizing
all of the unread posts in your news folders. It provides a quick,
at-a-glance view of your latest news with a single click.

NewsGator 1.0 is available immediately. Pricing is $29 (US) per copy =
with
quantity discounts available.
