(San Francisco, CA) - XOOM.com, Inc. (Nasdaq:XMCM) today announced that it has teamed with Lilith Fair 1999, a celebration of women in music, on several components to its blockbuster concert tour this summer. No only is XOOM.com the exclusive host of the official Lilith Fair 1999 Web site (www.lilithfair.com), but it is contributing a number of its free Web services that have made XOOM.com the 13th most visited site on the Internet, according to the March rankings of Media Metrix. Additionally, Lilith Fair 1999 has selected XOOM.com to facilitate its online talent search and to be the official sponsor of its acoustic talent search. Finally, XOOM.com is providing a charitable contribution to The Breast Cancer Fund and will be working with the organization during the event to raise awareness of the disease.

"Like last year, Lilith Fair 1999 will be the premiere concert event of the summer," said Laurent Massa, President and CEO of XOOM.com, Inc. "This is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with an audience that most Internet companies have been ignoring - women. Our site has a lot to offer women and music lovers now, but moving forward, we will focus on offering more compelling services and content that will be attractive to both of these audiences."

"The Internet presents a huge audience that is important for us to reach," said Donna Westmoreland, Director of Marketing for Lilith Fair 1999. " XOOM.com is an ideal partner for our Internet component because it has been very successful at hosting a high-traffic Web site and can offer a number of free Internet services that we think Lilith Fair fans will enjoy."

As the host of the official Lilith Fair 1999 Web site, XOOM.com will provide its popular community services for free including home page building, email , chat and greeting cards.

The 1999 XOOM.com/Lilith Fair Online Talent Search, the first of its kind to utilize MP3 technology, will send the winning female band or performer to open the Lilith Fair 1999 concert in Chicago. The contest, which begins today, will showcase talented women in music, encouraging them to submit songs on CD, audiotape or over the Internet as MP3 files. XOOM.com will digitize these songs and place them in its Media Sharehouse, a new XOOM.com site that allows its more than 7.3 million members to store, share and showcase multimedia files. Once files are in the Media Sharehouse, visitors can download songs and vote on their favorites. On August 1, the ten songs with the most votes will be put before a panel of judges. The winner will be announced on August 10.

The XOOM.com/Lilith Fair Acoustic Talent Search, on the other hand, will be a 17-city real-world tour, beginning on April 29 in Toronto and ending on May 23 in San Francisco. Other stops include New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Washington, D.C and Austin. Each winner of the Acoustic Talent Search will open for the Lilith Fair 1999 concert stop within their respective city.

XOOM.com will work with The Breast Cancer Fund to raise awareness of the disease by sponsoring a raffle at each Lilith Fair venue. Concert attendees can enter to win an Apple iMAC in each city. Following the 1999 tour, XOOM.com will also make a charitable contribution to The Breast cancer Fund.
