Florida Times Union Launches Online Local Deals Search and Advertising Portal with HarvestINFO’s Deal Storm™

Morris Communications publication selects Deal Storm™ local deals portal to enhance online services on www.Jacksonville.com

MASON, OH, January 19, 2006 – Florida Times Union, a Morris Communications newspaper, and HarvestINFO, Inc., a leading provider of local search, shopping and advertising solutions, have partnered to deliver enhanced local deal search and advertising for consumers in the Jacksonville market.

Available at www.Jacksonville.com/shopping, Deal Storm™ technology delivers results compiled from multiple advertising sources including inventory feeds, retail display ads, and special sections. Product and service listings from Florida Times Union advertisers display in response to a user’s keyword search or category browse creating a direct channel for advertisers to reach highly targeted consumers online.

“Deal Storm™ gives Jacksonville.com a two-fold competitive advantage in our local marketplace,” said TJ Weyer, new media director, Florida Times Union. “It enhances our value proposition for local advertisers, as well as enriches content and functionality for our online consumers. HarvestINFO’s remarkable ability to deliver our Deal Storm™ solution with reliability and accuracy – all with only two weeks turn-around - is a true testament to the stability of their product, dedication of their service team, and their understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by the newspaper industry today.”

“The speed with which we brought Jacksonville.com’s technology and content enhancements to market reflects our commitment to all clients – those we’ve partnered with throughout our ten year history, as well as those we have joined forces with recently such as Florida Times Union,” said Michael Galamb, vice president of sales, HarvestINFO, Inc. “Deal Storm™ enables Florida Times Union to leverage its print advertising content online, connecting a broader base of local consumers with local businesses. This in turn enables our client to optimize and monetize their website to grow and keep advertising revenue in an increasingly competitive market.”
