Glowpoint, Inc., (NASDAQ: GLOW) the world's leading
broadcast-quality IP-based video communications service provider,
today announced that Chief Technology Officer Michael Brandofino has
been recognized by the New Jersey Technology Council for his
leadership and innovation as a finalist for the CIO of the Year Award.
The official presentation took place on Friday, May 6, during the New
Jersey CIO Conference 2005 in Plainsboro, New Jersey.
   The award, sponsored by Intel, is designed to recognize New
Jersey-based technology executives whose innovation, creativity and
business management philosophies consistently demonstrate the
effective use of technology in support of company-wide strategic
initiatives. Brandofino, who was chosen from over 60 other nominees,
was one of three finalists and recognized alongside Edward Chapel,
CIO, Montclair State University and Garry Johnson, Sr. VP and CTO,
Dendrite International.
   In developing the world's first and leading IP-based video
communication service, Brandofino has provided the vision and
technology leadership that has propelled GlowPoint to conceptualize,
build and implement advanced technologies never before available in
the video communication industry. Since Brandofino joined the company
in 2000, GlowPoint has introduced IP-based services and applications
that advance its mission to make video communications as easy and
spontaneous as placing a standard telephone call. These advancements
include:

   --  The GlowPoint '000' Live Video Operator, the largest
        instant-access live video operator service available in the
        United States.

   --  The GlowPoint Video Call Assistant, a groundbreaking service
        developed to replace confusing technology-based messages with
        'Lisa', a virtual Video Call Assistant who intercepts video
        calls that do not complete and provides instant video help
        information.

   --  The GlowPoint Video Call Mailbox, a first-of-its-kind video
        call answering machine that allows in-bound video callers to
        leave broadcast quality full motion video messages that are
        instantly forwarded via e-mail to their intended recipient.

   --  Real 10-Digit Standard Phone Numbers, an industry
        break-through that replaced legacy IP-based access codes,
        making dialing a video number as easy as picking up the
        telephone.

   Prior to joining GlowPoint, Brandofino served as President of
Johns Brook Company, where he refocused the company from a network
consulting business to a video-centric technology organization
providing video-over-IP solutions. Brandofino has a BBA of MIS from
Pace University.
