Press Release Summary = Vyew also voted as "Best Demo" at Office 2.0 Conference

Press Release Body = BERKELEY, Calif. - Nov. 7, 2006 - Today, Vyew announced the
release of Vyew 2.0 Beta, a free Always-on collaboration and Web conferencing
platform that enables shared visual communication from any browser in just 10
seconds.

Vyew 2.0 was recently previewed at Office 2.0 (www.office20con.com), in San
Francisco, where it won the Best Demo award during the Blitz Demonstrations
moderated by Michael Arrington of TechCrunch (www.techcrunch.com).

Vyew 2.0 is the first Web-based collaboration platform to introduce layering
capability, allowing users to easily scale and move objects, bring them forward and
back, as well as copy and paste between pages. In addition to core Web conferencing
functionalities such as desktop, file sharing and whiteboarding, Vyew 2.0 empowers
users to create Microsoft PowerPoint-like pages by intermixing Microsoft Office and
Adobe PDF files, images, screen captures, whiteboard annotations, and more.

"The Web conferencing market has been around for years and has already established
several market leaders," said Henry Hon, CEO. "Web conferencing is ideal for
people looking to present to a passive audience. But Vyew is something altogether
different. It is a powerful, integrated, and free collaboration and conferencing
tool that enables group interaction and sharing to get share information, work
towards a common goal, and to help get projects done faster and more effectively."

Luis Suarez', a Knowledge Management Specialist at IBM said, "Vyew lets you host
FREE e-meetings where you can make good use of most of the different features put
together from other online meeting tools. You can just set it up on the fly, in
under 10 seconds, and off you go. No fuss, no issues. It just works! Vyew is now
one of my favorite online real-time collaboration tools for e-meetings, demos,
presentations and whatever else."

Vyew 2.0 users can upload, create and edit content collaboratively. Pages created in
Vyew 2.0's shared workspace are saved as 'VyewBooks' which can be left 'Always-on'
for editing over time. Filtering options allow for selective display of content by
user for easy tracking, alleviating the confusion of deciphering multiple users'
input. Text-chat, note taking, and free teleconferencing are built-in.

Through word-of-mouth alone, Vyew has already attracted over 25,000 users
participating in more than 8,000 hours of sessions per month. Vyew is currently used
for presentations collaborating on projects internally and with customers and
partners worldwide. Also, sales, marketing, designers, engineers and other
professionals are using Vyew as a visual communication tool for product development
and product lifecycle management (PLM)..
