BOSTON (April 10, 2000) - Intranets.com and NetCreations Inc., a leading provider of 100% Opt-In* email marketing services, announced a partnership to provide NetCreations customers with direct access to Intranets.com's large and highly targeted small business audience. Through this alliance, marketers mailing to NetCreations PostMasterDirect.com database will be able to reach Intranets.com users who sign up to receive email offers about topics of their choice.

"Intranets.com offers PostMasterDirect marketers a unique opportunity to reach the small business audience in an online business setting," said Rick Faulk, Intranets.com's vice president of marketing.
