Neighborhood America Forms Strategic Partnership with introNetworks, Inc. to Further Strengthen Enterprise Social Network Solutions

October 10, 2007 - Neighborhood America, the leader in enterprise social network solutions, and introNetworks, the leading provider of online community mapping software, today announce a strategic partnership and shared go-to-market strategy.

"Our partnership with introNetworks is another building block in our strategy to continually offer world-class solutions," said Neighborhood America's president and CEO, Kim Patrick Kobza. "introNetworks provides the best visual mapping engine in the marketplace, and when combined with our complete Enterprise Social Networking solution, it will change the way businesses engage their audiences."

"Neighborhood America has built hundreds of successful communities that serve a business purpose," said Mark Sylvester, CEO and co-founder of introNetworks. "The addition of introNetworks will strengthen the bonds within communities, enabling members who share similar interests and passions to connect on a more granular level, allowing for up to forty unique attributes from which members can align with."

The introNetworks technology enables users to rapidly filter volumes of data down to three or four community members with whom they have the greatest commonality; or perhaps three or four products that are best suited; or three or four articles that are a 'must read.' Based on a visual representation and map of the data, decisions can be made quickly. This same concept can be applied to not only match people to people, but also to match consumer interests to products and services; or to align partner networks with business opportunities.

At the core of introNetworks' technology is a visual matching engine that combines individual profiling with sophisticated algorithms in order to match entities within a community - 1:1 or 1:many. A rich application built with Adobe's Flash technology, introNetworks serves to match people with shared values and affinities to specific interests such as brands, issues, products or services.

"The user experience has always been a focal point for introNetworks," said Kymberlee Weil, president and co-founder of introNetworks. "Technology can be very complicated, but from the user's standpoint, we have made the user interface fast, intuitive, clean and visually appealing. This enables our customers to make decisions in an instant, based on a visual representation and map of the community members."

Regarding the partnership, Weil emphasized that company synergies were a driving force behind the formation of the relationship. "One of the many reasons we have including the same focus on providing the utmost level of customer service."

Partnering with Neighborhood America offers introNetworks the strength of a proven company that provides the ability to scale quickly. With combined sales, marketing and production teams, the companies expect to jointly deliver best-in-class solutions to organizations across all industries.

"The Web 2.0 world is a crowded marketplace - perhaps too crowded," summarized Sylvester. "Neighborhood America and introNetworks are two industry leaders who are closely aligned on industry vision and core values, and the fact that we have jointly risen above the noise of the marketplace to provide the next level of technology and services is really great news for customers."
