Hoover's Launches Enhancements And Adds Millions Of Professional Contacts To More Than 34 Million People At Over 26 Million Companies Worldwide

For Immediate Release

Additional Enhancements Include Easier Access To Mid And Lower-Level Contacts And Self-Listing Capabilities

AUSTIN, Texas - (June 5, 2008) - Hoover's, Inc. (www.hoovers.com) today announced several enhancements, including the addition of millions of new business professionals. This addition brings Hoover's trusted and already sizable global database coverage to more than 34 million professionals at over 26 million companies, with millions more to be added on a quarterly basis throughout 2008.

In addition, Hoover's interface changes make it easier to uncover all contacts at a given company. Customers can now find more mid- and lower-level contacts at headquarters, branch and subsidiary locations, and then filter by job function to target the right decision makers.

Enhancements also include a "People Self-Listing" tool that allows customers to add their own profiles to a company with which they are affiliated. They simply add themselves to a company record by creating a profile detailing their work history, affiliations and biography. They also have the ability to opt-in to receive e-mails from other users. By opting in, they can be more visible in the business community and network with other self-listed contacts. Now available to Hoover's subscribers, this new tool will become available to all users in the coming months.

"These enhancements and new features essentially create more interaction and community with our customers and give them quicker access to additional company contacts who might be better positioned to help them grow their business," said David Mather, president of Hoover's. "By adding themselves to a Hoover's company record, subscribers not only gain more exposure within a business community of high-powered professionals, but also associate themselves with a trusted source of information."
