HAYWARD, Calif., July 31, 2001—Starwire Corporationä, a Web-based network service provider, today announced the re-launch of Crosswalk.com using Starwire Interlink™. Crosswalk.com (Nasdaq: AMEN) is the number one stand-alone Christian portal on the Internet with over 20 million page views per month and 700,000 global email members. Since its inception, Crosswalk.com had managed its technology infrastructure internally. Recently, Crosswalk.com made the decision to outsource all content management software and Internet infrastructure to Starwire in order to cut costs and focus on its core competency of creating and managing content.

“Starwire has delivered content and infrastructure solutions that allowed us to increase our flexibility and our quality while reducing our labor costs,” said Scott Fehrenbacher, CEO of Crosswalk.com. “They have helped us better manage our content resources and will allow us to grow and spread our message even further. They have also increased the flexibility of our network infrastructure and overall operations. We are very enthusiastic about how the Starwire services are helping us meet our corporate goals.”

By using Starwire Interlink, Crosswalk.com significantly enhanced its content management system, cut down on technology costs, and streamlined technical issues. Starwire Interlink has enabled core staff to focus on creating quality content and to better maneuver it within the Web layout. The new Crosswalk.com site features an improved look and feel, cleaner functionality, and easier-to-use tools. Additionally, Crosswalk.com distributes its award-winning content to the 3,000+ Web sites on the Christianity.com Network.

“Our role is to serve organizations by taking away the technology pain they feel so that they can focus on what they do best,” said Dave Jaworski, CEO of Starwire Corporation. “We are excited about providing services for Crosswalk.com and helping them to succeed in their mission.”
