Christian Science Monitor to Adopt Clickshare for Internet Audience
Measurement, Transactions

BOSTON, Mass., May 6-- The Christian Science Monitor has decided to use the
Clickshare Access and Payment Service on its new Web site, initially for
audience measurement, with microtransactions to follow.

The 87-year-old national daily newspaper, whose coverage of the war in
Bosnia just won the paper its sixth Pulitzer Prize, plans to launch its
presence on the Internet's World Wide Web later this month. The URL will
be <http://www.csmonitor.com>.

Dave Creagh, electronic publishing manager of the Monitor, said, "We are
very impressed with this technology and its implications. The fit between
its capabilities and our needs is a very good one, and we feel that
Clickshare will soon set the standard for allowing transaction-based
pricing on the Internet. Clickshare is a very agile, progressive group
which is very willing to work with audit vendors to provide us with a
single toolset to measure traffic flow, create payment information, and
generate highly sophisticated site audits for our advertisers."

"For The Monitor, Clickshare will produce third-party auditable user data,
designed to be acceptable to the Audit Bureau of Circulations and other
parties interested in getting accurate reports of website traffic," said
David M. Oliver, Clickshare's Managing Director-Technology.

Clickshare Chairman Bill Densmore said, "Clickshare enables users to click
anywhere, then pay with one bill."

Clickshare gives users a "digital calling card" allowing them to log in
once, and charge purchases from publishers at many websites to a single
account. It provides multiple revenue streams for publishers and others
who have billing relationships with online users. It also tracks visits to
advertiser-supported pages and supports authentication for "intranets".

Multi-site user authentication is now operational. The micropayment
service, enabling the sale of information for as little as a dime per
click, is in testing.

The Monitor announcement is one of a series of partnerships
Massachusetts-based Clickshare Corp. will announce in the near future.
