MATCHBIN.COM EXPANDS REACH BY OFFERRING STATE-OF-ART PRIVATE LABELED COMMUNITY MARKETPLACES Top
Salt Lake City, UT, January 16, 2006 – Matchbin.com, the Salt Lake City based online trading service provider, announced today the release of a state-of-the-art product that will create a new business opportunity and paradigm shift in the multi-billion dollar online classified transaction arena.
Matchbin's release of its private labeled, online Community Marketplace enables entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations to own an e-commerce Community Marketplace that is locally focused, yet globally connected. This platform, with it's innovative technology, provides easy entry into the existing $17 billion dollar print classified market, as well as, the $6 billion plus market provided through eBay and Yahoo.
At no cost, members of these communities can buy, sell and trade goods and services with those within their Community Marketplace and have the option of doing the same on a global basis with other members of inter-connected Matchbin Communities.
In addition to transaction features, members of the community sites will have access to social networking tools, community specific announcements, information and a business directory of local service providers.
"We are excited to be the first online service to provide this unique and proprietary program," said Reed Brown, CEO of Matchbin.com. "The state-of-the-art technology powering our system provides limitless opportunities for Matchbin Community Marketplace partners to be on the cutting edge of e-Commerce and create significant growth for their organizations."
Revenue for Community Marketplace owners is generated from the sale of listing upgrades and other Matchbin products such as Servicefronts and Storefronts. These products are displayed in the Community Marketplace, but as with all listings and products, are accessible to any user on the Matchbin platform.
The Matchbin Servicefront is a website designed for service providers who wish to deliver their message and capture the online consumer market.
The Matchbin Storefront is a retail site, unique to a business of any size, to market products or services to millions of Internet users. Starting at a minimal $39.95 per month, and unlike other services in the marketplace, users will never be charged a transaction fee for items they sell.
Launched in 2002, Matchbin is the provider of the first online automated trading marketplace being used by individuals, organizations, and businesses, allowing them to buy, sell and trade locally, nationwide or on a global scale. Powered by Matchbin's ActiveMatch™ platform, Matchbin proactively searches and finds matches of goods and services for its growing number of online community marketplaces, allowing consumers and businesses worldwide a new way to buy, sell and trade goods and services with people they know and trust.
With currently 275 communities nationwide, owners of Matchbin's community marketplaces such as TheOutDoorXchange.com, BinSwap.com, Student801.com and TradeMyClubs.com have already seen the tremendous benefits of the new product capability for both their online business and memberships.
"Matchbin's focus to build community marketplaces through this state-of-the-art product is helping our members expand their reach in the global online classified and social networking marketplace," said Raymond Hamilton, founder and owner of TheOutDoorXchange.com.
"We are excited to have this new and powerful online tool that allows us to capture a part of the multi-billion dollar online industry," said Shawn Stewart, co-owner of BinSwap.com. "This will provide a unique and one-of-a-kind opportunity for entrepreneurs, organizations and businesses to have their own locally focused community marketplace that will be globally connected."
"Matchbin's unique e-marketplace technology allowed us to launch our first university student focused online marketplace in less than 30 days and saved us over $20,000. We are excited to be a part of the Matchbin globally connected e-marketplace and plan to launch multiple university focused marketplaces over the next few months," said Paul Richardson, co-founder and owner of Student801.com.
"For years I had wanted to start an online golf community where golfers could trade for clubs they needed. To build it I needed powerful software and substantial financial resources. With Matchbin's Community Marketplace, I now have all I need and for less than $500," said Chris Larson owner of TradeMyClubs.com.
Matchbin™ Inc. located in Salt Lake City and established in 2002, is the world’s first online trading platform that specializes in product and service matching. Matchbin partners with entrepreneurs, organizations and businesses to offer a private-labeled website for their community.

WILL NEWSPAPERS AND PRINT CLASSIFIEDS DIE WITH THE BABY BOOMERS? Top
Salt Lake City, Utah October 29, 2006- Since the invention of the printing press, the newspaper has been the number one source of information for everything from local news to finding that perfect garage sale. However, as reported daily and often plastered on covers of leading magazines, the times are quickly changing for newspapers!
The immediate danger newspapers face is losing print classified categories, which consequently means billions of dollars for the industry. Gone to date are employment, automobiles, and next on the chopping board, real estate. Where have they gone? Online.
Online competitor’s websites are jerking classifieds out from under the feet of newspapers and doing it in record time. Within the last five years newspapers have lost categories that once earned them a nice chunk of change.
So who has the answer? And if it is presented, will newspapers take the initiative to do something before it is too late? Can they once again control the empire they have always dominated?
Recently, at the National Newspaper Association Convention in Oklahoma City, two companies, Matchbin and ArcaSearch, launched MyAdSource, their global solution for newspapers. By joining technologies, they created a solution allowing local newspapers to join the MyAdSource network of inter-connected newspapers nationwide. Using this network, consumers are able to conduct online searches through their local paper’s website and instantly receive all print classified ads that appear in their paper, as well as ads found in other papers that are a part of the MyAdSource network. The search results also display online ads which have been posted through other online communities affiliated with Matchbin.
MyAdSource is the first to offer the ability to search local, state and nationwide classified ads posted in print or online, through local newspaper websites. Through the partnering of Matchbin and ArcaSearch, newspapers have the ability to offer popular social networking features such as blogs, chat rooms, event calendars and clubs. Another feature of MyAdSource enables newspapers to publish each paper online.
Newspapers no longer have to fend for themselves. Survival of the industry, specifically saving print classifieds and other potential advertising dollars, rests in the hands of publishers nationwide. Will newspapers and print classifieds die with the Baby Boomers? The answer resides with the baby boomers who own the papers.
MyAdSource was established in 2006 through a joint partnership between Matchbin, provider of online Publisher Marketplaces based in Salt Lake City and ArcaSearch, provider of searchable online digital files for print newspapers based in Paynesville, MN. Together they have created the world’s first inter-connected online newspaper print classified search system. Community Newspapers utilizing MyAdSource instantly become a part of a nationwide network where consumers searching their local newspaper’s marketplace can instantly view local and nationwide print classified ads.

NO MORE DOOM AND GLOOM. GOOD TIMES AHEAD FOR PRINT CLASSIFIEDS! Top
Salt Lake City, Utah October 12, 2006 – Matchbin, the leading provider of online Publisher Marketplaces, announced today a strategic partnership with ArcaSearch, the provider of searchable online digital files for print newspapers. Through the joining of technologies they will officially launch MyAdSource, a global solution for local newspapers losing the classified battle, to members attending the National Newspaper Association Convention in Oklahoma City this week.
"We are thrilled to partner with ArcaSearch in offering this innovative, multifaceted tool," says Matchbin CEO Reed Brown. "Our solution is unique in that we allow an individual to conduct an online search for an item or service, and instantly see all print and online ads. Displayed print ads results are PDF images of the ad as it appears on the classified page. This unique feature creates greater value for the seller, newspaper and even for an advertiser who has an ad adjacent to the classified," says Brown.
MyAdSource provides an unparalleled technology that utilizes the access and search-ability of the internet, combined with the scope and reach of print classified ads. This unprecedented approach offers all newspapers an opportunity to gain back market share by being apart of an interconnected nationwide classified ad network.
"We are excited to be able to offer the consumer the ability to view print classifieds online," says ArcaSearch owner Cal Sixta. "This alone will add much more value to the classified ad. MyAdSource provides an exclusive opportunity for Newspapers to combine their strength in order to create an online presence unmatched by any other entity out there," says Sixta.
Standard industry solutions only allow online and print classified ads to be searched within a single marketplace. MyAdSource is the first to provide the ability to simultaneously search online and print classifieds on a local, state and global basis. Through this solution, print classifieds can take back market share that has been lost to online competitors such as Craigslist.
Currently, the Utah Press Association and Oklahoma Press Association are on board and will be recommending MyAdSource to all newspapers within their respective associations.
"We love it! This is the future of online advertising," says Kirk Parrish of the Utah Press Association. "So far, every newspaper that sets eyes on MyAdSource, loves it too."
Since 2001, the newspaper print classified industry has been in steady decline and now stands in jeopardy of loosing the battle. MyAdSource will empower newspapers to take back what has been lost.
Other strategic partnerships to MyAdSource will be announced in the coming weeks.
