BidCrawler.com Launches Wireless Internet Auction Search Capabilities

New Technology Allows Users to Search Top Auction Sites 'On-The-Go' From Any Wireless Phone

BidCrawler.com Online Inc. (CDNX:BDO.V), a leading Internet auction aggregator, today announced the launch of wireless Internet auction search capabilities.

Personalized auction information is now available anytime, anywhere using Internet-capable wireless phones. This unique functionality is a critical step for the Bellevue-based company, as it continues to aggressively build out its service offerings. Wireless functionality, combined with BidCrawler's international expansion and impending B2B site, is setting the company apart in terms of what it can offer both consumer and business users.

Using BidCrawler's new functionality, auction-goers with Internet-capable phones will be able to log onto a special wireless site located at MOBILE.BIDCRAWLER.COM and search the top auction sites while they are away from their computer. Using the keypad on their phones, users can enter search criteria and see the same detailed results that they find by logging directly onto the BidCrawler.com site. Results can be viewed and optimized according to the phone's screen size. Users then simply have to select the item(s) they want to bid on, e-mail it to their computers, where they can then link directly to the appropriate auction site, and place a bid. They can also forward the results to any wireless phone and communicate with friends and family by just entering a phone number.

"Nearly everything can be found on online auctions today. Everyone from collectors to students to business people are using auction sites as an important means of commerce," said BidCrawler.com president, Greg Stone. "To really maximize the benefit of these auctions, people shouldn't have to be tied to their computers to find what they are looking for. Our new wireless search technology allows people to search 'on-the-go', whether they are in line at the grocery store, waiting for a flight or spending time with their loved ones."

BidCrawler.com is utilizing ClickServices' wireless communication's infrastructure to extend its reach to wireless customers and offer its online auction search services to wireless phone users across multiple carrier networks. Later this year, the functionality will be available through any wireless device. ClickServices' multi-lingual capabilities will also allow BidCrawler.com to offer its advanced Internet auction metasearch technology to users around the world in the future.

"BidCrawler.com is revolutionizing the auction industry, and we look forward to continuing to provide wireless value-added features to their customers," said Sundaram Natarajan, president and CEO of ClickServices.

BidCrawler.com recently announced the first phase of its international expansion, which included Germany, UK and Canada. The company also has immediate plans to unveil its B2B site, B2BidCrawler.com.
