Newly Forged Partnership with FatLens Adds Newest Category to Info.com's Wide Array of Vertical Search Offerings

CHICAGO and MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Info.com, a platform for vertical and broad-Web search engines, today announced a partnership with FatLens to provide Info.com's users with powerful new ticket search capability that makes shopping for event tickets easy and fast. Info.com users can immediately search and shop for event tickets at: http://tickets.info.com/ .

"Internet users, who like the convenience of general search engines but the relevancy of vertical search engines, no longer have to make a decision of one or the other when using Info.com. Info.com has a growing user base motivated to access best of breed vertical and general search capabilities under one umbrella brand," commented Info.com's CEO, Stephen Scarr. "Integrating FatLens helps the Info.com users easily find the best choice and prices for tickets to popular concerts, sporting events, theatre and family shows."

As part of this agreement, Info.com will display a "Tickets" tab on its home page, powered by FatLens, so that users can search for event tickets directly from Info.com. With an index of over 6 million tickets from all across the Web, including Ticketmaster, eBay, StubHub and classified sites like Craigslist, FatLens provides the only Meta search capability for event ticket shopping. Search results can be sorted by date, price, location, venue-sections, or by ticket vendor.

"We are pleased to be a part of Info.com's best of breed approach to assembling a vertical search engine platform for the general search engine users looking for more capabilities," said Nanda Kishore, CEO of FatLens. "Info.com is experiencing significant growth as savvy Internet users recognize the benefits of its powerful vertical and general search capabilities and we are glad to add Info.com to our traffic partnership network."

Info.com recognizes that in an over-communicated and over-informed era, relevant and time saving information brands will become increasingly attractive to internet users. Info.com strives to do just that by continuing to develop a simple and time saving interface that seamlessly combines the best search technologies into one destination site.
