In his speech, Chris Lewis discussed the new corporate strategy based around the increasingly important issue of online privacy. Mr. Lewis also unveiled the Company's target milestones, upcoming products and services, business revenue model and traffic building strategy for the year, explaining that, "If 1999 can best be described as a year of development, we expect 2000 will be a year of implementation and roll-out." Earlier this week, TopClick launched its Private Search Engine, the Company's first Web-based solution to help Internet users regain control of their online privacy. The Company's Privacy Resource Center, launched late last year, is also an integral part of the value proposition to consumers.
