SANTA CLARA, Calif. & SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 20, 2000

Weave Innovations, creator of the Smart Picture Frame and the StoryBox(TM) Network (www.storybox.com), and Corbis(R), the leading Internet-based provider of digital images (www.corbis.com), today announced an agreement that will provide owners of Weave's digital picture frame with access to the vast Corbis Collection of images.

Under terms of the agreement, a channel containing samples from the 65 million-strong Corbis photo collection will be available through the StoryBox Network and Smart Picture Frame. Subscribers to the StoryBox Network will be able to browse the Corbis Picture Channel, select a collection of images, and have those images displayed on their StoryBox digital picture frame. The agreement benefits Weave Innovations by providing StoryBox Network customers with access to a high-quality and diverse collection of digital images. At the same time, Corbis gains a new and expanding distribution channel that will help deliver its images to more people in their homes, offices, and elsewhere.

"This partnership is tremendous because it allows two companies -- each with its own area of expertise -- to bring forth a new and exciting digital image offering for photo enthusiasts," said Rip Warendorf, vice president of Corbis' consumer division. "As image experts and the keepers of the world's largest image archive, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to open our collection to another large consumer audience through Weave's StoryBox frames and network."

Said Robert Siegel, president and chief executive officer of Weave Innovations: "The Corbis Collection is a great addition to the growing catalog of images and content available through the StoryBox Network and Smart Picture Frame. We are excited about having the opportunity to deliver these remarkable photographs to people all over the world."
