Seattle, Wash. -- September 30, 1999 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ark Royal Software 14332 NE 126th Ave., Suite #B-203 Kirkland, WA 98034-1542 CONTACT: David Snell, Director of Operations Ark Royal Software Phone: (425)-825-0906 Email: davidsnell@7heavens.com Web: http://www.imarvel.com/ ARK ROYAL SOFTWARE LAUNCHES REVOLUTIONARY NEW PORTAL SERVICE: IMarvel.com provides easy access to best-of-web content, helpful tips and personalized surfing tools, all in a service that can be added on to any user's existing portal page. "The official launch of iMarvel.com marks a new milestone in the evolution of the Internet," said David Snell, a spokesman for Web startup Ark Royal Software. "Our intent is to offer 'The Web's Best Sites, Tips And Tools' to all Internet users." BEST SITES. The "Hoo-Hah!" directory is an activity-oriented list of the Internet's best sites. Several helpful innovations make it perhaps the Internet's most useful directory: * "Our activity-oriented listing method allows users to focus on their own interests," said Snell. The directory has 27 categories, from Automotive to Money Management to Travel. Within each category, entries are grouped by type of activity (Buy stuff, Compare prices, Create something, Download files, Explore sites, Find information, and so forth.) "When you have to hack through an alphabetical listing of dozens of sites before you find what you're looking for, it can get frustrating" Snell added. * It lists the best sites for each suggested activity. Sites are often highly-rated in magazine reviews and online guides. Many of them have received awards such as PC Magazine's Editor's Choice, or have earned high marks from BizRate.com and other online guides. * In addition to listing web-surfing activities, it lists many tips and suggestions to help people improve their daily lives. "We have created a enhanced and humanized directory, by hybridizing it with meaningful content," said Snell. BEST TOOLS. IMarvel.com offers an innovative set of web-based tools to help users make the most of their time spent surfing: * A special "Best Sites Guide" helps users find the best entries in "Hoo-Hah!" that match their particular interests. Users simply choose their level of interest in 27 different subject areas, then the Guide lists the most worthwhile Internet activities for them. Users may also sign up to receive a newsletter that is customized to their interests, offering news of the best online surfing. "We believe that the Best Sites Guide is the fastest way for Internet users to find out the best things they can do on the Web," said Snell. * An "All-In-One Search Page" allows users to perform over 30 different searches of the Web's most useful sites. And an "All-Star Search Box" lets people search an index that includes all pages in "Hoo-Hah!", as well as the pages it links to. It also includes many pages from some of the Internet's best sites, an all-star list that will continue to grow: -Computers: C/Net -Consumer: Consumer World -Entertainment: Mr. Showbiz -Family: ParentSoup.com -Health: MayoHealth.org -Kids: DiscoveryKids.com -Money: Kiplinger.com -Science: Discovery.com -Site Reviews: Yahoo Internet Life -Sports: CNN/SI (cnnsi.com) * Ark Royal Software has developed 25 helpful browsing tools that we call "Wizards". Any combination of Wizards can be added to a user's "start page" (the first page seen when the browser starts up.) For example, someone could combine the News Wizard, Photos Wizard, Weather Wizard and Radio Wizard to create a "Newspaper Weather Radio" in full color. The Wizards can be used with virtually any browser, on any computer. They load quickly, because they're compact and they can be stored on the user's hard disk. Wizards can be used separately, or integrated into a single web page. "The really neat thing is that a user can add any combination of Wizards to any desired start page on the Web, and the Wizards will automatically appear whenever the browser is started," said Snell. "It makes it easy to customize your start page with the content you want. We call this customized add-on page 'Personal iMarvel.'" Here are some of the more helpful Wizards: -A Mail Wizard that sends email, faxes and even postal letters. -A News Wizard that fetches a multi-section online newspaper. -A Personal Finance Wizard to help save and manage money. -A Search Wizard that checks over 30 directories and databases. -A Tips Wizard with daily inspirational and financial messages. -A Weather Wizard that looks up outdoor conditions anywhere. BEST TIPS. Some of the best tips and greatest deals on the Internet are listed on the home page at iMarvel.com. Many helpful tips are also listed in "Hoo-Hah!" and the Wizards. IMarvel.com presents new tips daily, reseaching some of the most important news in these areas: * Current news headlines: This includes the latest health news from the Mayo Health Oasis, as well as news from the worlds of politics, sports, business and entertainment. * Consumer Tips: Great bargains, timely consumer news and the best online shopping deals. * Finance Tips: News about money management, employment, entrepreneurship, thrift, taxes, real estate, and investing. * Free Stuff: A new offer of free goods or services every day. All services at iMarvel.com are free of any charge. "Ark Royal Software plans to generate revenue from sponsorships, license agreements and affiliations with the Internet's best sites," said Snell. "We're looking for sponsors who provide quality content and who care about their customers."
