OzSearch was one of five companies selected to participate in Internet World_s "hottest Internet start-ups" exhibit held in Los Angeles. OzSearch managing director K.

"We are thrilled to present to the rest of the world the Internet opportunities that abound in Australia. OzSearch plans to capitalise on this interest in this current round of financing which will enable us to increase our service offerings and expand our channels of distribution," said Duggan.
