July 21, 2004

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — NetWorld Alliance, publisher of KioskMarketplace.com and Kiosks.org and manager of Kiosks.org Association, announced today the acquisition of VOYAGI Inc.'s kiosk division.

The division includes KIOSK magazine, KIOSK.com, and The Kiosk Show, a tradeshow for the industry.

NetWorld Alliance, a publisher of high-growth vertical market news and information (sites include PizzaMarketplace.com), effectively doubles the size of its global kiosk operations with the purchase of the VOYAGI properties. Terms of the agreement remain undisclosed.

"With self-service technology changing the way Americans work, shop, learn and do business, the potential for this industry is immense," said Dick Good, NetWorld Alliance CEO.

Joseph Grove, group editor for PizzaMarketplace.com, said that as more pizzeria owners and operators explore self-service options, the kiosk industry is becoming more relevant than ever.

"The restaurant industry is one of the high-growth areas for kiosk technologies. Operators should find plenty to benefit them in our combined self-service media."

Greg Swistak, co-coordinator of The Kiosk Show, recommended operators visit www.kioskshow.com for information on the upcoming Oct. 7-8 exhibition in Boston.

"The show will help introduce them to or learn more about the booming self-service world," Swistak said.

NetWorld Alliance builds and manages online and printed centers of news and information for specialized markets including the pizza, ATM, kiosk and church leadership industries. For more information, please visit www.networldalliance.com.
