IRVINE, CALIF - AskMeNow (http://www.askmenow.com/), the easiest way to get virtually all the information found on the Internet from your cell phone or wireless handheld, announced today 14 content partners across 25 categories.

With the announcement of its content partners, AskMeNow's patent-pending technology is now able to provide answers to questions from trusted resources for news, stocks and weather as well as questions impacting all aspects of one's lifestyle from "when will the hurricane reach land in my town" to "what are the hot spots in downtown Miami?" AskMeNow has become the ultimate mobile lifestyle service.

"We are pleased," said Jim Schonewolf, Sales Manager for The Sports Network, "to have been able to set this relationship in place at a time when our coverage of sports has grown exponentially and our technology has surpassed everything else available in the field, either directly or through specific, exclusive alliances crafted in recent months. Our service will make an important contribution to AskMeNow sports coverage and offerings."

Prior to the company's November (2005) launch, AskMeNow identified its content needs by answering hundreds of thousands of questions from its more than 15,000 beta users. This question/answer period resulted in invaluable research that provided exactly the type of information people on the go need and want the most.

"We have been impressed with how the service is being used in a social networking context with more than 50% of queries posed through our AskMeAnything feature," said AskMeNow CEO Darryl Cohen. "Customers are also asking more urgent questions about weather and travel. Based on the wide range of questions, AskMeNow required partners with not only great content, but also great technology."

AskMeNow gives its customers the ability to simply call or text a question from their mobile phone or device by selecting an automated template for basic questions such as directory assistance, weather, stocks, directions, sports scores, news, comparison shopping and more for FREE. Or they can select the AskMeAnything feature for a small automated fee of 49 cents and AnswerAgents(SM) will research the answer to virtually any question.
