Go2 Systems and ShowBIZData.com Bring Entertainment News to Wireless Devices

Go2 Systems Inc., originator of Go2(TM), the leading location-based directory and information services system designed for the Internet and wireless devices, Wednesday announced a strategic relationship with ShowBIZData.com, the leading entertainment business-to-business portal and film enthusiast Web site.

Go2 users can now access ShowBIZData.com's entertainment industry information by searching Go2showbiz.com, Go2entertainment.com and other entertainment-related topics from any Internet-enabled device.

"We believe that the entertainment industry is a mobile community and therefore a prime demographic for wireless technology. Through the alliance with Go2, ShowBIZData intends to provide an important lifeline to vital business tools and up-to-date information for entertainment professionals on the go," commented Oliver Eberle, founder, president and CEO of ShowBIZData.com.

ShowBIZData.com is providing Go2's wireless gateway, Go2online, with dynamic industry information including daily entertainment news, daily and weekly Top 10 films at the box-office, film and video release schedules, detailed feature film credits, revenue forecasts and film reviews. Go2 users are also able to find local entertainment information and create a personal "show business" homepage, using an entertainment business directory.

Users can filter and receive entertainment information based on the person's particular interests, which are delivered instantaneously, as it becomes available. The companies also plan to roll out a pay-per-view service that will translate ShowBIZData's core functionality and services to Go2-enabled wireless devices.

"Go2 and ShowBIZData.com are providing the wireless consumer with instant and convenient access to the latest news and information relating to the entertainment industry," said Go2 President and founder Lee Hancock. "As Go2 continues to increase information available from the phone, people can turn to Go2 as the place to find exciting and relevant location-based information."

ShowBIZData.com provides comprehensive entertainment analysis worldwide, available sooner than anywhere else on the Internet. With ShowBIZData.com, users can access real-time charts to dynamically generate graphs of the financial information that is associated with companies, individuals and movies.

Go2 delivers location-based information from more than 500 Go2 Web sites accessible from the Internet, mobile phones and pagers. Each site is easily accessible by topic or brand, such as Go2steakhouses.com, Go2ruthschris.com, Go2oilchange.com, Go2jiffylube.com, Go2houses.com or Go2coldwellbanker.com. The sites provide real-time information based on the user's precise location or intended destination, offering a simple, intuitive method for users to find what they are looking for close by.
