'Untangle the Web' with New www.iPoste.org Internet Site; Easy-to-Use Community Web Site Offers Relevant Information That Can Be Found or Posted Based on a Chosen Location.

SAUSALITO, Calif. -- iPoste.org, a free, interactive Internet site that connects users to local community information and message boards, announced the launch of its new Web site today. iPoste.org "untangles the Web" by building an interest-centric, community-driven database of information that provides only the most relevant search results based on a user's search parameters. With iPoste.org it has never been easier to search for information about specific interests or activities, post timely event information or classified ads, as well as participate in message boards - just by searching the Web via a chosen city or zip code first.

"iPoste.org solves the problem of connecting like-minded people to local information based on lines of interest," said David Collins, founder of iPoste.org. "We offer easy-to-navigate pages that untangle the Web by only providing the most relevant information about a topical search. Just select an iPoste interest and enter your zip code, and the site brings up a dedicated page containing simple, helpful and valuable information in a straightforward manner."

iPoste.org is a hybrid content management and community-building Web site. It offers an expanding universe of interests, which is driven by a user's curiosity or concerns. Unlike dedicated search engines, this user-driven site offers the best of both community information sharing sites and social interaction Web sites.

"Searching for even the most basic information on the Web can be frustrating and time consuming," continued Collins. "The iPoste.org format streamlines and simplifies the search process. We offer a solution that collects, organizes and displays only the most relevant information related to your search, with just a few clicks."

Currently iPoste.org focuses on six major categories:

    News and Information - which delivers the latest news feeds on
     chosen subjects;

    Classified Marketplace - an area for users to post local
     classified advertisements;

    Message Boards - an area to talk to others interested in similar
     subjects;

    Calendar - a section to post dates for local events;

    Job Postings - for those who have jobs to fill within a certain
     interest category;

    Community directory - for local resources that support a
     particular interest.

"Our goal at iPoste.org is to provide a Web site platform where anyone can post or find useful, localized information more efficiently - just by entering a topic and their zip code of choice," said John Nees, who also co-founded iPoste.org.

iPoste.org is a completely free and mostly non-commercial site. Any commercial content is found in the pre-screened RSS feeds which are links to outside news sources. iPoste.org is also an aggregator of RSS feeds and provides only the best quality and most relevant information about each topic.

"Our site will be user driven," said Nees. "Our hope is that through community interaction, iPoste.org will develop into an accepted template where people can find a dependable source of highly relevant information - wherever they are, and for whatever topic they are interested in."

iPoste.org is a community Web site that seeks to develop and nurture online communities through content collection and information management and is the brainchild of Bay Area entrepreneurs David Collins and John Nees. Headquarters are located in Sausalito. For more information, log on to the iPoste.org Web site at www.iposte.org.
