New Product Provides Online Collectors And Shoppers A Whole New Way To Use eBay

BOSTON, June 19/PR Newswire/ -- TIMEblaster, LLC (www.timeblaster.com) announces the release of TIMEblaster for eBay(TM), a software service for users of eBay, the premier global internet auction service. TIMEblaster helps users of eBay find exactly what they want on eBay while saving at least 75% of their time. TIMEblaster for eBay is the first product to be released using TIMEblaster, LLC's revolutionary No Click & Wait(TM) technology for automating focused intelligent searching of the Internet. TIMEblaster delivers increased efficiency and satisfaction for users of eBay by providing automated, repetitive searches and a Photo Album of search results for each recurring search. TIMEblaster for eBay provides five key advancements over conventional approaches to searching online auction catalogs:

• Create and tune powerful searches. TIMEblaster provides an easy way to build, test and tune very precise, recurring searches for both serious collectors, bargain hunters and casual shoppers.
• Run the searches automatically and save the search results on the user's personal computer.
• Prepare a Photo Album of Search Results on the user's computer for instant review.
• Review eBay Item Descriptions and images offline, eliminating the tedious "click and wait" routine associated with Internet shopping.
• Gather key items of information together to provide a clear picture of the auction process and facilitate rapid, fact-founded decision-making.

The inspiration for TIMEblaster for eBay came to Stephen C. Taylor, a founder and Chief Technology Officer of TIMEblaster, LLC. An avid stamp collector, Steve was growing concerned about how much time he was spending online. Having built online banking systems and intelligent software agents throughout his career, Steve designed TIMEblaster for eBay and started running it for his own personal use. "I was very enthusiastic about trading on eBay, because it gave me access to a highly efficient, global marketplace, but I had time constraints that limited my trading opportunities. I just could not participate in as many auctions as I wanted to," says Taylor.

Steve's long-time business partner, Mike Kinkead, TIMEblaster's President & CEO, joined him to form the company. "We have put the technology and service through an extensive testing process," said Kinkead. "Our early customers tell us that they are thrilled because they are consistently finding special, often hidden, collectible items on eBay much more quickly. When my wife looks at her TIMEblaster Photo Albums every morning, she says it's like receiving a daily basket of gifts. We think that we are giving PC users a whole new reason to like their computers."

The TIMEblaster for eBay offering consists of software that a user installs on his or her computer together with an ongoing update and enhancement service that keeps the software up-to-date. As implemented in TIMEblaster for eBay, the users benefit from automated gathering, storage, organization and presentation of information that enables a more satisfying and more productive user experience.

"One of the most exciting features of TIMEblaster is the Photo Album of Search Results," said Paul Martinez, TIMEblaster's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "TIMEblaster turns 45-character eBay Item Descriptions into the labels of a colorful Photo Album which helps all types of buyers, from collectors to bargain hunters, quickly find the things they want, and enjoy themselves more in the process."

TIMEblaster for eBay helps the following types of users with their online auction experiences:

• Collectors, because with the Photo Album, they can quickly scan hundreds of items to find the rare or exceptional additions to their collections.
• Shoppers, because they can easily compare items and be confident they are seeing "everything".
• Bargain hunters, because TIMEblaster's automated searching finds the best deals.
• Sellers because they can quickly verify that their postings are correct and they can monitor their markets.
• Families, because TIMEblaster eliminates hours of on line search time.
• People who want to improve their chances of finding exciting eBay items, because TIMEblaster simplifies searching and helps users increase their searching skills.
