Lufthansa Soars to New Heights with Conduit-Powered Community Toolbar Redwood Shores, CA - July 3, 2007

Europe's second-largest airline and other popular travel sites turn to Conduit to out-innovate the competition with real-time customer connection

Redwood Shores, CA - July 3, 2007 - Conduit, the leading platform for building online communities via community toolbars, today announced that Lufthansa. has deployed Conduit's community toolbar solution to provide users with real-time updates on flight status, destination weather, seat availability and more. One of many travel industry customers now using Conduit's solution, Lufthansa has experienced an impressive increase in sales and customer acquisition due to the Lufthansa Toolbar for Spain and Barra Lufthansa for Portugal

"Just three weeks after we launched the Lufthansa toolbars, we had more than 1,000 downloads," said Annika Baum, e-Business and Online Sales Manager, Lufthansa. "It's an enormously useful tool for customer outreach and we're amazed by the reception from our customers – they simply love it. It's already had a significant impact on sales and we couldn't be happier with the results."

The travel sector has embraced Conduit with airlines and travel agencies now creating deeper user engagement by providing instant and constant access from the browser. Users benefit from anytime, all the time access to key travel information such as:

	Flight status alerts
	Travel information
	Booking engines for flight, hotel, car rental, tour reservations, and more
	Destination weather updates
	Seat sales, discount tickets, promotions and other exclusive deals
	Other useful real-time tools for the savvy traveler

Conduit-powered community toolbars are redefining the way travelers interact with online travel sites. Delivery of real-time information to would-be travelers has always been a friction point for travel sites and traditionally, users have had to endure lag time obtaining the latest updates on flight information due to inherent limitations of email as a delivery vehicle. With Conduit-powered community toolbars, travel sites have an advantage in that those updates are delivered straight to the browser in real-time. Therefore, even if a user navigates away from the travel site and does not check their email, the information is instantly available via the community toolbar.

In addition to Lufthansa's innovative use of Conduit, other forward-thinking travel industry companies using this evolutionary communications platform include:

	Vueling - A major European airline servicing destinations in Madrid, Barcelona, Paris and other major cities in Western Europe.
	Opodo - Owned by nine of Europe's leading airlines, Opodo is he first truly Pan-European travel service created to address the real needs of today's traveler with over 500 airlines, 65,000 hotel properties and 7,000 rental car locations worldwide.
	Flug7 - A leading German language online travel agency.
	Travel Point – An online travel agency with over 18 years of European travel experience.

"We're focused on implementing new and creative ways to extend our brand awareness and increase customer loyalty," said Juan Moreno, Web Content Manager, Vueling. "The Conduit-powered community toolbar is an incredible tool that allows constant, direct contact with our customers. Conduit's solution is central to our outreach efforts and we're ecstatic about the results we've seen so far."

"Conduit is the easiest yet most robust solution for customer engagement I've seen," said Eckart Backofen, Online Search Marketing Executive, Opodo Germany. "We push promotions and travel deals through the toolbar, and our customers use the toolbar to search for travel getaways in Germany and throughout Europe. I've never seen anything like it. It's a huge hit with our customers and it couldn't be easier to implement."

Conduit is helping the travel industry keep pace with the Web 2.0 world in which users expect real-time information to be available at the click of a button.
