SAN FRANCISCO, April 30, 2001--WCITIES, the leading location-based information services
(LBS) provider about world cities for portals, web pages and wireless carriers, has formed an alliance to provide the CondeNet
brands, Epicurious.com and Concierge.com, with destination content.
Concierge.com and Epicurious.com will syndicate WCITIES location-based information services about hundreds of cities
worldwide. CondeNet is one of the world leaders in travel and leisure publishing and the addition of WCITIES exclusive
content to the Concierge.com and Epicurious.com brands will allow their users greater breadth and depth of location-based
information services than that available from any other source.
WCITIES provides in-depth multi-lingual local coverage of the world's top cities from Lisbon to London, Amsterdam to
Madrid, Houston to Hong Kong, Paris to Buenos Aires and all major points in between. Key facets of city life including hotels,
restaurants, sporting events, entertainment, shopping and transportation are part of WCITIES content that's kept fresh by an
army of over 1,500 local researchers, writers, reviewers and other experts.
"WCITIES alliance to provide Concierge.com and Epicurious.com with Location-Based Information Services demonstrates
CondeNet's commitment to product excellence," said Kristi Dabadie, Business Development Manager for WCITIES. "We are
pleased that these CondeNet brands will be making WCITIES superior, one-of-a-kind service available to their users."
Concierge.com is a comprehensive online travel-planning resource that offers unique features, travel deals, editorial from
Conde Nast Traveler, advice, discussion forums, maps and photos for more than 500 worldwide destinations.
"The detailed destination information from WCITIES will complement existing feature-based content from Conde Nast
Traveler, as well as the proprietary features developed by Concierge.com," said Susan Rerat, managing director of
Concierge.com. "Partnering with WCITIES allows us to provide the most comprehensive travel-planning resources on the
Web."
WCITIES is the world's leading Location-based Information Service Provider, with operations in over 75 countries,
providing more relevant local content in more languages about more cities than any other source. Leading wireless infrastructure
vendors have chosen to integrate WCITIES location-based information service with their mobile positioning systems, giving
