Piranha, Inc. (OTC BB: BYTE), an innovator in data compression solutions, today unveiled a downloadable plug-in to enable online demonstrations of the Piranha Net product. Piranha Net is a "lossy" digital compression technology that enables browsers to download content-rich Web pages in a fraction of the file size of JPEG, GIF or PNG. By dramatically reducing Web page file size, Piranha Net increases the speed associated with Web page loading. The Piranha Net downloadable plug-in and comparison image demonstrations are available for Macintosh or Windows at www.piranha.com/site/products/pr_net_doc.htm.

"Piranha Net is a revolutionary new product for increasing Web page speed without compromising quality," said Edward W. Sample, CEO of Piranha. "Piranha's unique technology not only allows Web users to view high quality images and graphic files more quickly, but it also enables e-businesses to provide a faster, higher-quality service while optimizing existing bandwidth."
