Business Tools Through a Top-Tier Small Business Portal

Red Gorilla, The Application Syndication Company(TM), today announced the availability of TimeTracker on NBCi's AllBusiness.com (Nasdaq:NBCI), the virtual business partner for small and growing businesses.

AllBusiness.com's small business users can immediately enjoy direct access to Red Gorilla's easy-to-use, Web-based time and expense tracking and invoicing application.

Through their private label syndication model, Red Gorilla enables AllBusiness.com to bring to market sophisticated, revenue-generating applications more quickly and cheaply than otherwise possible. TimeTracker on AllBusiness.com helps to extend AllBusiness.com's already vast small business offering by allowing users to save time and money by eliminating the need to buy, install, learn and maintain expensive, complex software. A convenient Web-based service, it is ideal for any mobile professional who needs to track time and expenses and create professional invoices and reports. With TimeTracker, AllBusiness.com visitors can quickly and easily record hours and expenses and develop invoices that can be sent to clients via e-mail, fax or snail mail.

"Red Gorilla understands the most valuable asset of any Web property is its brand," said John Witchel, Red Gorilla founder and CEO. "Our private label strategy supports that asset. We enhance our partner's properties with applications that attract new users and provide added value to their existing customer base. As the premier small business portal, AllBusiness.com is uniquely positioned to provide small business owners access to a full spectrum of services that allow them to compete in today's fast-paced, Web economy."

For a limited time, users who opt for the TimeTracker Remote premium service on AllBusiness.com receive a free Palm IIIe. The TimeTracker Remote service allows users to access records from anywhere, anytime, via Palm(TM), as well as through any Interactive Voice Response and Wireless Application Protocol-enabled phones and devices, or Web browser. The service costs $99.95 for one year and includes 24-hour toll-free access, the ability to synch your time and expense entries through any Palm(TM) or Palm OS-enabled device and, for a limited time, a free Palm IIIe.
