Troublewear.com Site Named "Shocked Site of the Day".

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 16, 1999--

IJNT.net (OTC BB:IJNT), a leading high-speed Internet access and telecommunications provider, and Web development company, announced today that for the second time this Summer, a World Wide Web site developed by its Man Rabbit House Multimedia subsidiary has been awarded Macromedia Corporation's prestigious "Shocked Site of the Day" title. Macromedia is the developer of the Flash, Director and Shockwave Web development software packages.

Man Rabbit House developed the Troublewear Website (http://troublewear.com) for Troublewear.com Inc., a lifestyle affinity apparel and accessory maker and new player in extreme sports marketing and promotion. Robert Santore, Man Rabbit's Creative Director, said "the site had to be more active and extreme than anything else out there, in order to connect with the surfers, skaters, snowboarders, adventure racers and other extreme athletes who define the Troublewear lifestyle and look. This site is the perfect portal for people with outdoor, high-intensity lifestyles to use as their Internet base."

Web Director Greg Matsen cited the site's comics, chatrooms, lingo dictionary, video clips and other features in explaining why Troublewear.com is much more than just another e-commerce site. "Although we incorporated a powerful e-commerce engine in the site, we wanted to make Troublewear.com the source of information on extreme sports and related lifestyles and build a more engaging experience for visitors to the site," said Matsen.

"The apparel and accessories for sale on the Troublewear site have fresh, eye-catching designs and are made using only premium-quality materials," remarked Rob Shively, Troublewear Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "By providing a virtual meeting place for people interested in extreme sports and lifestyles, we can both promote the development of the sports and present authentic lifestyle apparel that expresses the energy and attitudes of our members and visitors." So far, the concept has worked well, with statistics showing that the average time spent on the site exceeds the Internet average by about 300%. Also amazing is the fact that the site development from concept to "going live" on the Internet required under six weeks to complete.

"Man Rabbit House has now won the coveted Shocked Site of the Day title twice in as many months," commented Mary Blake, President of IJNT.net. "We are among a very few dev elopment firms that have the ability to create a site of this energy and complexity. Even fewer can produce such results so rapidly." Winning Site of the Day is a high honor for the Company, according to Blake. "When the Perception Kayaks site (www.kayaker.com) won in June, there were hundreds of thousands of visits to that site, and it is gratifying to put our work and our clients' businesses in front of so large an audience." Troublewear, the Perception site, and other past winners, can be visited at http://www.macromedia.com/.
