November 13, 2002
SEATTLE, WA -- RedWeek.com, a new online marketplace from the founder and Chairman of Classmates.com Randy Conrads,
launched this week allowing web-savvy vacation resort travelers to connect with the timeshare community.
The web site has a member-supported model similar to the highly successful Classmates.com that now has over 32
million members. RedWeek.com provides an exclusive marketplace where travelers find vacation bargains, and timeshare
owners can list their available units to rent, sell or trade. The site has a situations wanted area called "RedWishes"
allowing members, both travelers and timeshare owners, to post their desired vacations or unwanted timeshares for
sale. RedWeek.com members also provide ratings and reviews of vacation resorts. The new web site creates an accessible,
information rich exchange for all travelers and the timeshare community. Site members can also be notified when
resorts become available. Timeshare owners can learn more about the timeshare resorts they might trade for, resorts
move unused time thereby developing a high-quality member-community.
"Timeshare or vacation ownership is a great concept," says Randy Conrads RedWeek.com CEO. "RedWeek.com
is focused on drawing the vastly larger number of travelers who do not own timeshares into this exploding market."
The RedWeek.com team developed the site with a successful background in developing user-friendly web services at
Classmates.com. Randy Conrads founded the profitable Classmates.com, now one of the most highly trafficked web
sites on the Internet.
Classmates Online, Inc. is an online community connecting over 32 million members with friends, family, military
and work colleagues. Founded in 1995, Classmates has one of the largest member bases on the Web for paid content.
The company adds 50,000 members per day and is consistently ranked one of the top 15 most highly trafficked Web
properties by Nielsen-Net Ratings.
