Business Editors/High-Tech Writers

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 15, 2000

Red Gorilla(TM), The Application Syndication Company(TM), today announces Gorilla Time(TM), a time tracking and invoicing application fully accessible via all three mobile computing platforms -- Web, Palm(TM) and telephone.

Gorilla Time eases the burden of time and expense tracking for small businesses and independent consultants by enabling users to easily capture time and expenses, create professional invoices and generate sophisticated reports, while saving money.

Red Gorilla's mission is to syndicate high-quality Web-based, wireless end-user applications simultaneously to highly trafficked Web properties including portals, online publications, vertical portals and ISPs. Red Gorilla's commitment to a private-label product enables partners to instantaneously enhance their properties with easily deployed, high-utility, revenue generating applications.

"As the Internet war rages on, it's become clear that when the dust settles, the only sites left standing will be ones that offer high-quality application services in addition to compelling content," said John Witchel, Red Gorilla founder and CEO.

"Destination sites are under growing pressure to offer increasingly high-value applications. Free e-mail and calendar no longer cut it. As the complexity of these applications increases, engineering and support costs skyrocket. The economic benefit of using a syndicator to deploy new apps, once compelling, is now unmistakable.

"Red Gorilla is the arms dealer in the application war. Using the syndication model, we rapidly develop new applications, spreading development and support costs across multiple clients, enabling our partners to bring private-label, high-value services to market more quickly and inexpensively then otherwise possible."

Over the next few months, Red Gorilla will make important partnership announcements regarding the growing availability of Gorilla Time. Red Gorilla will continually develop and syndicate new applications to highly trafficked Web properties including portals, online publications, vertical portals and ISPs.
