SEATTLE-October 21, 2005

WhitePages.com, Inc., the leading provider of free online residential directory assistance services, today announced they were the 10th fastest growing private company in the Seattle area, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal. The annual list, an indicator of Washington's most active entrepreneurs, measures revenues and ranks companies by growth over a three-year period.

WhitePages.com has more than doubled revenue each consecutive year since incorporation in 2000.
WhitePages.com recorded a three-year revenue growth of 446 percent in 2004. Last year, the company was ranked the seventh fastest growing private company by the Puget Sound Business Journal with a three-year revenue growth of 500 percent.

"Placing in the top ten on this prestigious list of regional businesses for the second year in a row, is a testament to the strength of our vision and our dedication to providing our customers and partners unparalleled value across our business," said CEO Max Bardon. "That vision will continue to remain strong as we continue to grow and fulfill our mission to be the best free online resource for finding and managing contact information for consumers and businesses."

The combined growth and strength of WhitePages.com Network's proprietary sites, WhitePages.com, 411.com, PhoneNumber.com, and WhitePages.ca, coupled with an impressive list of distribution partners that include MSN, SBC, and the YellowPages Group in Canada, have helped the company earn several "Fastest Growing" titles. In the past year, the company was ranked the fifth fastest growing technology company in the state of Washington and the 55th fastest growing technology company in North America, by the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 program. The company was named the 57th fastest growing private company by Inc. magazine.

Additionally, WhitePages.com was recognized as a "Best Company to Work For" by Washington CEO Magazine, and received the "Consumer Product of the Year" award from the Washington Software Alliance.
