Tucows Inc., today announced the general release of Blogware,
its easy-to-use weblog publishing service designed specifically for retail by
the service provider industry, including ISPs and web hosting companies. With Blogware, service providers can now quickly enter the fast growing weblogging market with little risk and no upfront investment. Blogware helps service provider's customers share what they want, when they want, with whom they want - via their desktop, handheld or cellular telephone.

"Our resellers count on us to enable them to capitalize on profitable
markets," said Elliot Noss, President and Chief Executive Officer, Tucows Inc.
"Weblogging has emerged as a rapidly growing segment of the web publishing
market. Our goal was to create an easy-to-use application for the customer
specifically designed to be retailed by service providers. We used an
extensive beta program to gather market intelligence and fed that information
directly to the service developers. As a result, Blogware is a mature service
our resellers can leverage to capture first-mover-advantage in this emerging
market."

Blogware makes it easy for all internet users to publish online using its
rich drag and drop layout, editing and digital photo management tools. Users
can manage who has permission to view sensitive or confidential information.
Blogware generates a broad range of leading standards based syndication
formats including RSS, OpenReviews and OPML. Blogware is a turn-key service that resellers can adopt to quickly capitalize on this new market opportunity.

"Blogware has enabled Rackshare to create BlogHarbor, our weblogging
service, by allowing us to focus on what we do best: providing our customers
with outstanding service and a strong community," said John Keegan, President of Rackshare. "Since it is a managed solution, Blogware frees us from the responsibility of hardware and application maintenance and allows us to focus exclusively on our customers and their needs. Our BlogHarbor weblogging service has been welcomed by small businesses searching for an easier way to communicate with their customers and by individuals seeking to start web-based conversations with friends, family, and other Internet users."
