GoFish Signs Agreement With Tribune Interactive to Deliver Multimedia Content and Search Technology to Metromix.com

Leading News and Information Network Visitors Now Have Immediate Access to a Wide Array of Downloadable Video and Audio Entertainment Related Content

GoFish Technologies, the leader in multimedia search, today announced that Tribune Interactive, a division of Tribune Company, has signed an agreement to license the GoFish Web Service for use on its Metromix.com sites.

With more than 50 websites attracting more than 12 million unique visitors per month, Tribune Interactive ranks among the nation's leading news and information networks. Tribune Interactive's Metromix.com provides extensive dining and nightlife coverage, as well as movies, music, museum, and theater content. By utilizing the GoFish Web Service, Metromix will provide its users with access to GoFish's continuously growing searchable index of more than 100 million multimedia files, which includes downloadable music, videos, ringtones, audiobooks, movies, and other multimedia content.

"Metromix.com is already a leading source of robust local information, to which the integration of GoFish's Web Service adds a compelling new component," said Brigid Kenney, Tribune Interactive senior vice president/general manager. "In addition to reading about the latest local entertainment news and events, Metromix visitors also can now view and listen to relevant multimedia content."

"Tribune Interactive has a dynamic online presence both locally and nationally, and we are thrilled to be working with the company to bring multimedia content to its network through Metromix.com," said Michael Downing, co-founder and CEO of GoFish Technologies. "Adding GoFish multimedia content to Metromix will address the growing demand for online multimedia, create new revenue opportunities, and deliver a new and exciting consumer experience."

The GoFish multimedia search platform encompasses more than 100 million available multimedia files across the online commercially available and user-generated content landscape. By effectively assigning the same sophisticated level of relevance and logical ranking to multimedia search that has succeeded in the world of web search, GoFish serves targeted search results that consistently represent the most relevant data. This enables existing high-traffic search engines and consumer portals to extract substantially more value from searches that are entertainment-media oriented.

Search engines and portals interested in more information about licensing the GoFish Web Service API can send an email to corpdev(at)GoFish.com.
