SAN FRANCISCO, April 17, 2001 - Clickability Inc. and The Wall Street Journal today announced the deployment of Clickability's Web-based SAVE THIS™ and EMAIL THISŪ tools for online publishers onto the WSJ.com Web site. The agreement enables WSJ.com subscribers to save links to stories and e-mail them to others.

Clickability's SAVE THIS and EMAIL THIS tools will be displayed on article pages throughout the WSJ.com site. SAVE THIS allows users to store links to stories and organize them into personalized Web-based folders. Articles are also accessible in wireless-appropriate format via any Web-enabled mobile device using Clickability's SAVE THIS Wireless feature.

EMAIL THIS enables subscribers to send story links, along with personal messages, to other subscribers or non-subscribers. The application creates new viral marketing opportunities for WSJ.com by allowing subscribers, for the first time, to pass along stories to non-subscribers. Users can now access both SAVE THIS and EMAIL THIS on the WSJ.com site by clicking on brand-transparent buttons on all story pages.

"Partnering with Clickability adds increased functionality to WSJ.com, benefiting not only our current subscribers, but also potential subscribers who receive EMAIL THIS-generated links to the site's content," said Neil Budde, editor and publisher of The Wall Street Journal Online. "In turn, WSJ.com benefits from the reporting and aggregate user information supplied by Clickability, allowing WSJ.com to offer additional inventory to advertisers."

As part of the agreement, Clickability presents WSJ.com with monthly data reports tracking the aggregate viewing and pass-along habits of its subscribers. The reports provide WSJ.com with valuable feedback on the content that subscribers save, organize and share, serving as a metric of editorial and advertising effectiveness not available elsewhere to online publishers.

"For the first time, WSJ.com is integrating e-mail functionality into its site and chose Clickability to deliver this capability to its subscribers," said John Girard, Clickability's co-founder and CEO. "With Clickability's tools, WSJ.com now has the power to open the doors to new users. This viral marketing effort, paired with the in-depth reporting functions that we will provide, is a great value add for WSJ.com and Clickability is proud to be a major part of it."
