EasyAsk, Inc. Makes New Corporate And Product Announcements

As of September 20, 1999, EasyAsk Inc. (formerly Linguistic Technology Corporation) was formed to provide Internet and Intranet search engine software for relational databases. The highly structured nature of relational databases requires a very different process from that of traditional text searches. EasyAsk Inc. will provide a family of a natural language question/answer portal solutions specifically designed to address the idiosyncrasies of indexing, searching and generating the SQL required to access databases efficiently. (See the press release at http://www.EasyAsk.com/eainc_press_release.htm).

New products, under the brand name EasyAsk, are being rolled out for a number of specific markets including electronic retailing, data warehousing and enterprise information portals that integrate the search process for text and database sources within a corporation, and ultimately the public portal market.

The first EasyAsk offering, EasyAsk eCom, was recently introduced at Internet World in Chicago. (See the press release at http://www.easyask.com/eaecom_press_release.htm).
