DIRECTIONS BECOMES "LINKSTORM" AS COMPANY
FOCUSES ON ONLINE ADS, MARKETING Linkstorm
brand introduces "killer app" for Internet ads using
technology from Internet pioneer Dr. Robert Kahn New York, NY –
December 5, 2005. Content Directions, Inc. (CDI), a leader in web navigation technology, today announced it has a new name
and a new brand. The new name is Linkstorm Corporation. The
company is re-branding itself as part of its new strategic push into online
advertising. "Linkstorm
was chosen because of the lightning-like speed with which we can deliver ads
and results online," says Hugh Brownstone, CEO of
Linkstorm Corporation. "It's a potential Ôsilver bullet' for online advertisers and marketers." Advertisers see intender-driven,
Linkstorm-enabled ads providing a new Ôkiller app' for Internet campaigns. David Sidman, Founder &
Chief Operating Officer, says the
next-generation linking platform was originally designed for the Publishing
sector. "We built it using the
Handle System¨ developed by Internet pioneer Dr. Robert Kahn. Dr. Kahn's technology enabled us to provide
more robust interlinking of content.
The same benefits our technology has generated in the Publishing
industry – superior Web navigation, higher click-through rates, and
higher conversion rates – work even better for Internet advertising." "The Internet has become a
perfect storm for advertising," explains Sheldon Renan, who
led the re-branding team. "This is
technology that allows advertisers to own that storm. The only problem is,
until recently, nobody had ever heard of it." Company executives are now focused on getting the message
out to the rest of the world. Says
CEO Brownstone, "The Linkstorm name is a great start." About Linkstorm The Linkstorm
Corporation provides technology for improving results with online advertising,
marketing, measurement and other business activities that need rapid, robust
and persistent linking. Linkstorm
implements superconnectivityª and clickless navigationª at any level
organizations want it – product information, infrastructure, platform,

the use of Dr. Robert Kahn's Handle System for content in the publishing and
media industries. The company's
new Linkstorm architecture enhances Kahn's technology and extends its utility
to a wider range of businesses.
