The Leading Information Resource for the Internet Economy Selects Virage Interactive™ Services to Make the Complete Video Library of Net Returns 2000 Conference Searchable on the Internet SAN MATEO, CA. —November 15, 1999—Virage, Inc., the leading provider of products and services that make video searchable and interactive, announced today that The Standard, the leading resource for news and information on the Internet Economy, is using Virage Interactive™ services to provide video search capability to its recent Net Returns 2000 conference. This partnership heralds the future for the conferences industry and other videotaped events by providing a level of Internet searchability, content customization and 24-hour worldwide access to events previously limited to a single location, date and audience size.

"As a leading information provider for the Internet Economy, we are always looking for ways to utilize cutting-edge Internet software and services to foster community with our readers," said Michael Romoff, business development manager for The Standard. "Not only do Virage's video application services allow us to give our readers access to valuable information from our conferences, they make it easy for us to turn events into ongoing revenue streams, as well." The Standard is using Virage's comprehensive Internet video service to transform their three-day summit about the information economy into a searchable video conference. With video search capabilities provided by Virage, users of The Standard's premium web subscription service will be able to watch the conference, any time day or night, in a way that conforms to their interests. Visitors will be able to search the conference in a variety of ways, for example doing a search to pull up specific video from a particular panel, speaker, company or topic, such as "technology integration" and "Marimba." Or, the viewer will be able to perform broad searches to find every instance a topic is covered, such as "e-business opportunities and policy." Virage's video service allows The Standard to leverage its conference material over the World Wide Web by deploying it as on-demand, interactive video to conference subscribers.
