INTERNET FINANCIAL INFO SERVICE LAUNCHED
By Adnews Staff
First International Financial Corporation and Netway Internetworking Technologies Inc., both of Calgary, will roll-out the pilot version of World Wide Quote next week. WWQ is an Internet service that offers real-time stock market information from all major North American exchanges to individual investors around the world. It has been in test release since last week. Digital Equipment Corporation of Massachusetts powers the WWQ Web site with its AlphaServers, while Netway, an Internet developer specializing in complex software applications on the Internet, developed it. WWQ will be advertised in the Financial Post, The Globe and Mail and The Wall Street Journal beginning Oct. 10. The campaign, created in-house by First International, will run for two months, at which time it will be evaluated and, if the review is favorable, will be continued.
