We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year. For me, it is all of those things plus a time when I u...

Intermix Media Corrects Inaccurate Coverage of Download Applications
Intermix Media Corrects Inaccurate Coverage of Download Applications

LOS ANGELES, April 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Intermix Media, Inc. , announced today that it was correcting certain inaccuracies and misstatements of facts that occurred in recent media coverage of the New York Attorney General (NY AG) matter disclosed by the Company on April 12.

The company's toolbar and redirect applications do not collect information about a person's web surfing habits or otherwise collect or transmit any personal information about users.

Several allegations contained in recent articles were obtained from third- party databases and are inaccurate or outdated. Intermix's toolbar and redirect applications are search applications that do not and never have tracked the activities of their users -- they simply do not "spy" on consumer Internet or other activity.

The inquiry of the Internet Bureau of the NY AG primarily concerns issues of disclosure sufficiency and application identification and removal functionality. As previously disclosed, the Company is cooperating in the hopes of reaching a resolution as quickly as possible. The Company has decided to cease distribution of its redirect and toolbar applications pending a thorough review of the issues raised by the NY AG's office. The Company will not reintroduce those applications as downloads until every precaution is taken to ensure that users are fully informed about and consent to the installation of the applications during the download process and that the applications, once installed, can be located and removed easily.

As previously disclosed, the Company's estimate of the financial impact of the NY AG matter is included in the Company's fiscal 2006 forecast released on April 12, 2005, although no assurance can be given that the financial impact of the matter will be confined to the Company's expectations.

"As with many facets of Internet communications and business, industry standards are evolving and we support increased transparency in connection with the distribution of downloadable applications," stated Richard Rosenblatt, Chief Executive Officer of Intermix. "While downloadable applications are not currently core to our business, to the extent we are in the business we are determined to work with the NY AG to create, institute and promote best practices on the Web in this area."
