NICEVILLE, FLA. - December 28, 2000 -- GeoComm International Corporation
(GeoComm.com), a company at the forefront of the location-based services industry, today announced that The GeoCommunity website has surpassed a significant industry milestone by attracting more than two million page views from its visitors during November 2000. The feat firmly establishes the GeoCommunity as the leading GIS and location-based industry web portal catering to professionals in GIS, CAD, GPS, and mobile/wireless location-based industries.
In the year and a half since its launch, the Gecommunity has grown from start-up to market leader. Today, the GeoCommunity serves more than 150,000 unique monthly visitors and updates over 14,000 e-mail subscribers via our industry leading NewsWire. Growing at nearly 30% per month, The GeoCommunity is among the fastest developing location-based sites businesses on the Internet. The GeoCommunity is recognized by industry leaders and media as a valued news, data and content provider with cutting edge and timely content.
Significant Numbers:
- First GIS focused 'wireless' AvantGo Channel with 31,000+ monthly hits

Managing Editor, Glenn Letham attributes the steady stream of growth to the site's consistency, and dynamic content. "We're always adding new features and sections to the site. The impetus for new material comes directly from our visitors. We get lots of feedback and this is what drives our site. Adding the Career Center
and dramatically scaling up our Market Place with loads of new products has not only bolstered our e-commerce but has been a great addition in content heavily used by the Community. Increasing our data products and more focus on the International user base has also contributed to significant growth."
"We’ve now reached the critical mass of members in our online community that other websites strive for,
but very few achieve in a vertical market", said Thomas C. Herman, Executive Vice President, of GeoComm.
"The exploding increase in our GeoCommunity customer base and sales from multiple revenue streams firmly
establishes us as the vertical portal site for GIS and location-based services (LBS)
industry professionals. We will continue to enhance our product offerings for the GIS community,
and add new technologies and features to improve the online experience at our website.
I'm particularly excited with the fact that, at our current rate of growth, The GeoCommunity's
traffic should double once again in 6-8 months, resulting in a 4 million hit month, an unprecedented
milestone in our industry."
