Infoseek-owned GO Network and AvantGo, Inc. joined forces Friday to
provide personalized content and interactive applications to wireless device users.

The content will be available through AvantGo.com’s site, which is a free
interactive Internet service.

Wireless users can now access specified GO Network “My Page” content such
as: stock quotes, sports scores, horoscope, news, and weather via the
AvantGo.com “My Page on Air” channel.

AvantGo.com is a powerful solution that allows GO Network to deliver
existing content and information to a
broad selection of wireless devices. The result is a comprehensive,

“Together, GO Network and AvantGo provide users with a totally flexible,
intuitive experience, that is optimized for the mobile environment,” said

information,
interactive applications and services from GO Network. AvantGo provides us
with the easiest and most flexible solution for bringing the broad range of
GO Network content and applications to today’s wireless user.”
