ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1998--JuxtaNet Corp. and Thomson Investors Network have joined forces to create the ProLaunch Investing Center, a new online financial information center that is available exclusively for members of JuxtaNet's new Internet service, ProLaunch (http://www.ProLaunch.com).

As a new benefit for the ProLaunch members, ProLaunch Investing Center offers access to the most timely and crucial financial information available in cyberspace. The ProLaunch Investing Center offers research and tools provided by the Thomson Investors Network (www.thomsoninvest.net).

"During the first week of beta testing on ProLaunch, we received nearly 10,000 new registrants to Thomson Investors Network," said Ray Kingman, president of Thomson Investors Network. "ProLaunch is an innovative new way to explore the best the web has to offer, and we're pleased to partner with JuxtaNet for the ProLaunch Investing Center."

The seven resource areas of the ProLaunch Investing Center include: the Resource Center, providing background and research materials on companies and private investing strategies; the News Center, offering the latest business, finance, health care and technology news from the Thomson Investors Network; the Opinion Center, featuring provocative columns from the Thomson Investors Network's acclaimed columnists; Get Quote, an immediate retrieval function regarding any stock or fund quote; Portfolio Center, offering personalized portfolio tracking; LiveTicker, which detaches from the ProLaunch member page to the browser desktop for constant monitoring of index data and delayed stock quotes throughout the day; and a comprehensive Links section providing instant access to the top online brokerage sites.

ProLaunch is a free service that delivers a different web site to the Internet "start page" of its subscribers each time a subscriber logs onto the Internet. These sites are handpicked to match the interests of each subscriber, providing a user-friendly way of discovering what's new and of interest on the Internet. Subscribers can also earn LaunchPoints for visiting the recommended sites, and accumulated LaunchPoints can be redeemed for travel and merchandise rewards.
