ZEDO Welcomes Lawrence Braitman and Esther Dyson to Its Board of Directors

San Francisco, Calif. - December 18, 2001 - ZEDO, Inc., the leading Third Generation Ad Serving company, today announced Lawrence Braitman, the co-founder of the Flycast Network and Esther Dyson, the Chairman of EDventure Holdings, have joined the ZEDO Board of Directors.

The support of such key individuals demonstrates the power of ZEDO's technology to today's Internet."

"ZEDO's solution is tailor-made for the current Internet advertising environment," said Mr. Braitman.
