     Australian-based Global Internet Directories is
seeking companies and individuals in Atlanta and other major cities to help
expand its business operations in the U.S. The company is developing what it
claims will be the largest Internet directory in the world, and will offer
businesses global and local market exposure via a single international Internet
search engine.
     Global Internet Directories will have 900 connected
city-directories worldwide, each broken down into 5,000 categories. Through
promotion on the directory’s search engine and traditional media advertising,
listed companies could gain name-recognition and be easily locatable through
this comprehensive Internet service.
     Frank Flammea, president of global marketing, told
GlobalFax that the Internet is not yet truly global because sites are typically
developed regionally in the local language which provides Internet users with
limited global access depending on the languages they speak. “People need to
communicate globally, and we feel that English is the language of the
Internet,” said Mr. Flammea while at a reception at Australian Consul-General
Geoff Gray’s residence last month.
     Global Internet Directories will also provide a
free World Wide Classifieds service to be accessed by Internet users wishing to
view goods and services for sale worldwide. The classifieds will enable users
to place and view advertisements online, and will be sponsored and promoted by
a traditional media company in each of the 900 cities.
     The company has just completed nine months of
market testing and product proofing in its Australasia Zone, and has
established relationships with the top three Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
in Australia.
