BinaryLabs Announces Relationship With Storm Technology To Promote Internet Service For Private Multimedia Communities.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 5, 1998--BinaryLabs Inc. today announced its agreement with Storm Technology Inc. (OTC:EASY), a leading supplier of innovative, high quality color scanners, to promote PeoplePost, BinaryLabs' free, online, private multimedia community service.

PeoplePost allows its members to post photos, graphics, text, and messages to a private Internet site accessible by everyone in their group. A unique, patent-pending interface makes it simple for members to post communications quickly and easily.

Storm is now featuring a link to PeoplePost on the "Photo Fun" section of its Web site. Also in "Photo Fun," Storm is posting information sponsored by BinaryLabs on how easy it is to create "Private Multimedia Communities." Storm will promote PeoplePost in StormFlash, an electronic newsletter sent to Storm customers, and is sponsoring the "Hot Tips" scanner and video capture sections on the PeoplePost Web site.

"PeoplePost makes group on-line communications secure, easy, and fun," said Carol Kruse, vice president of Sales and Marketing for Storm Technology Inc. "By partnering with the leader in this area, we now have a way for our customers to easily and securely share their images over the Internet."

"Partnering with an industry leader in scanner products and services is critical because it provides a complete solution for sharing images over the Internet," said Frank Jensen, chief executive officer of BinaryLabs. "Storm's scanners allow people to capture images digitally and PeoplePost allows them to share those images easily." The Storm Technology partnership follows BinaryLabs' recent partnership with Compaq (NYSE:CPQ) to distribute PeoplePost through its Web site.
