Expressions Suite Enables Ground-Breaking "SimulChat" Session

COMMACK, NY (May 26, 1998) — Helping make a unique new concept in charitable fund-raising a reality, e-Share Technologies is contributing both software and manpower to the largest-ever charitable E-commerce project in history.

eShare Technologies Expressions® Interaction Suite 3.1 will be used to create Internet "SimulChat" sessions during the Children's Miracle Network (CMN) 1998 Telethon, airing May 30-May 31st from Disney's Epcot Center in Orlando. During the broadcast, viewers will be able to log onto the Internet to chat with each other and with the stars who will be performing for the fundraiser. Visitors to the website will also be able to make donations.

In addition to donating their software, eShare will provide the moderators for the two-day telethon. The moderators will share a VIP chat room with the star, permitting the stars to respond to selected viewer questions or comments.

"This event shows how important, valuable, and far reaching Internet communities are becoming," stated James Tito, CEO and co-founder of eShare Technologies. "We are delighted to be able to contribute our time and software to this effort."

The Children's Miracle Network, located in Salt Lake City, Utah, is a non-profit organization founded in 1983. Its mission is to generate funds and awareness programs for children and associated hospitals. In its 15-year history, the CMN has raised more than $1.2 billion, and helps over two million children annually. The CMN's 1998 Telethon will include performances by such CMN Champions as Amy Grant, Marie Osmond, John Schneider, Celine Dion, Kenny Loggins, John Tesh and a host of other performers and celebrities.

Another CMN "Champion," Commerce Payment Systems Corp. (CommercePay), will structure the CMN website so that viewers will be able to make donations safely, privately and securely.
