Orlando, Florida - (Cheap Web Hosting Directory) - October 6, 2006 - Internet technology firm, Web2 Corp., has acquired search directory, www.ByIndia.com. It is believed that the search engine has the potential to dominate the search field in the country, anticipated to be the largest online population by 2010.

Since the acquisition, which was initiated following a limited consumer test in August, ByIndia has experienced a rapid climb in traffic and site rankings. The company plans to add new Web2.0 social networking, auction, classifieds, video and syndicated advertising elements to ByIndia.com over the next few weeks similar to popular web properties such as MySpace, eBay, Craigslist, YouTube, and Google’s Adwords/Adsense service. The new functions have tested well with the Indian audience in limited releases and Web2 expects them to gain significant traction.

William Mobley, Chairman and CEO of Web2 Corp. offered, ” We believe we are in early with a great product. India is a massive market that is gaining economic footing. ByIndia.com is the best product available for this audience…we plan to improve upon it. We see a Baidu-like opportunity to create the definitive community for this vast population.”

Built by a small group of Indian programmers, ByIndia.com was designed to recognize the cultural and language issues of the world’s fourth-largest current Internet population. The ability for Web2 to acquire such a well-conceived and constructed property had much to do with its vision for the future. The initial developers needed infrastructure (network operations and server capacity not readily available throughout India) and marketing to realize the value of ByIndia.com. Mr. Mobley continued, ”They recognized a need to step up their game in order to become meaningful to India. We had a meeting of the minds. They saw where we wanted to take ByIndia.com and together we will work to take it there.”

The second of three major product announcements scheduled before the end of 2006, ByIndia.com joins the previously released Chamber of E-Commerce in Web2’s mission to consolidate the best of the best of today’s popular sites into a simpler, more productive single product. ByIndia.com is to bring the most-used parts of MySpace, eBay, Craigslist, YouTube and Google into one seamless site with a common interface.

Mr. Mobley continued, ”Why learn four or five products when you can learn one?” The Chamber of E-Commerce does the same for small businesses who need a website capable of doing business. It provides everything a small business needs integrated into one easy-to-use, inexpensive package. Mr. Mobley added, ” We are in the combine and simplify business. Right now I am focused on ByIndia, but you may want to tune in later this month to see a truly amazing product.”
