Conduit Selected by AlwaysOn as an OnHollywood 100 Top Private Company Award Winner Redwood Shores, CA, April 23, 2007

Recognized for leadership in emerging technology for digital entertainment and media

Redwood Shores, CA — April 23, 2007 — Conduit, the leading platform for building online communities via community toolbars today announced that it has been chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the OnHollywood 100 Top Private Companies. The OnHollywood 100 is a power list of the top private, emerging technology companies in digital entertainment and media and was selected from more than 1,000 companies that were peer-nominated by leading venture capitalists, investment bankers and industry analysts. Conduit was handpicked by the AlwaysOn editorial team based on a set of five criteria — innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

Conduit was recognized for its breakthrough innovation in creating a game-changing, persistent digital media channel. With over 12 million users, 130,000 publishers and a new user every 2 seconds, Conduit has seen explosive growth in less than two years in business. Conduit empowers publishers to convert casual site visitors into passionate community members via a customizable community toolbar that users can download to connect instantly and persistently with the publisher. For example, Major League Baseball connects fans with their favorite teams in real-time and all the time via a community toolbar, powered by Conduit. Fans can listen to games, get instant score updates, read team news alerts, chat with other fans, buy tickets, and more — all from their community toolbar. In addition to major names in entertainment like MLB, John Mayer and Taylor Hicks, Conduit has also gained remarkable traction with long tail publishers, due to its free, hosted, turnkey service that is easy to use and quick to launch. Anyone can create, and instantly launch, their community toolbar at www.conduit.com.

"We are thrilled to be one of the elite few chosen to be honored with this distinction by AlwaysOn,” said Ronen Shilo, CEO, Conduit. “Conduit has transformed toolbars into digital media platforms for building engaged online communities, and we are proud to be recognized for our achievements."

"OnHollywood is an important forum that presents and debates the critical issues surrounding the transformation of the entertainment economy to one based on digital technology,” said Tony Perkins, founder and CEO of AlwaysOn. “Digital technology has transformed the way content is created and delivered to consumers everywhere. The OnHollywood Top 100 companies are an elite group of innovators who are using this technology to revolutionize the industry."

Conduit and the OnHollywood 100 will be honored at the OnHollywood digital entertainment and media event, May 1-3, 2007, at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, California. OnHollywood delves into the challenges, opportunities and business models of the digital era, and showcases the most innovative private companies that are changing the way entertainment and media is created, distributed, consumed and monetized.
