San Mateo, CA—July 18, 2007—Aggregate Knowledge, the leader in the new category of online Discovery, today announced that it has been selected by AlwaysOn as one of the Top 100 Private Companies for 2007. Aggregate Knowledge was selected from more than 1,000 nominated companies for its innovation, market potential, customer adoption, media buzz and investor value creation.

The Stanford Summit is a two-and-a-half day executive gathering that highlights the significant economic, political and commercial trends affecting the global technology industries. The idea behind the AO100 top private companies list is to identify the most promising entrepreneurial opportunities and investments in the global technology industry.
"The AlwaysOn 100 companies will shape the future of our globally-connected technology environment," said Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "We were inundated with nominations from leading companies driven by tomorrow's thought leaders and technology visionaries who are hard at work pushing the limits of innovation. My congratulations to the AlwaysOn 100 winners —these are the companies which we predict will have the greatest market traction, strongest innovation and most game-changing approaches this year."
"Aggregate Knowledge is honored to be named as one of the AlwaysOn Top 100 Private Companies for our leadership in Discovery," said Paul Martino, Aggregate Knowledge CEO and founder.
