Business Editors

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 22, 2003

MyCoffeeDate.com, a new dating community that couples the phenomenal success of online dating with meetings at coffee shops, is completing beta testing and preparing an advertising program for a mid-August launch, it was announced by site owner, American IDC Corp. (OTC Pink Sheets: ACNI).

The advertising campaign, "When You're Tired of Just Looking at Pictures" focuses on the MyCoffeeDate.com proactive approach to matchmaking. It emphasizes how easy it is to use its website to find people and, most important, setup initial meetings through its listings of local coffee shops -- a safe, public place to meet, available just about anywhere. Currently MyCoffeeDate has profiles of about 400,000 people.

Tim Neil, a Hollywood artist who has worked with major movie studios and television shows, has been retained to develop a series of romantically whimsical illustrations in a variety of styles for the advertisements. An example of this can be seen at the americanidc.com website. The advertising campaign is timed to coincide with the completion of the beta test of MyCoffeeDate.com.

"Prior to marketing MyCoffeeDate.com, we have been testing the software and evaluating user comments," said Gordon Lee, American IDC president. "We are delighted with how enthusiastically people respond to the coffee date concept and the many valuable suggestions they have submitted. People agree that there is no better way to meet than a coffee date. To enable them to do so easily and effectively through MyCoffeeDate.com, we are having our programmers incorporate the additional site features they want. We expect to be ready to begin our comprehensive marketing

campaign in mid-August."

"The online dating industry brings in more revenue than any other category of legitimate paid Web content," according to the August 2003 issue of B2B magazine. In fact, the New York Times on June 29, 2003 stated, "Online dating is rapidly becoming a fixture of single life for adults of all ages, backgrounds and interests." It went on to point out that "More than 45 million Americans visited online dating sites last month, up from about 35 million at the end of 2002, according to comScore Media Metrix, a Web tracking service. Spending by subscribers on Web dating sites has soared, rising to a projected $100 million or more a quarter this year from under $10 million a quarter at the beginning of 2001, according to the Online Publishers Association."
