      WebSideStory, Inc. (Nasdaq:WSSI), a leading provider of real-time 
      customer intelligence solutions, today announced its selection as one of KMWorld’s 
      2007 “100 Companies That Matter in Knowledge 
      Management.” This is the third consecutive 
      year WebSideStory has received this published recognition for delivering 
      innovative analytics-driven applications to the market. For the past two 
      years, WebSideStory Search, the industry’s 
      first Web site search solution to automatically rank site search 
      relevancy based on the broad spectrum of Web site behavioral data, has 
      been named KMWorld’s “Trend-Setting 
      Product of the Year.”
    
    
      “KMWorld recognized early on that 
      WebSideStory’s vision to leverage analytics 
      data to drive automated action in related applications delivered real 
      innovation to the marketplace,” said Hugh 
      McKellar, editor in chief of KMWorld magazine, the leading 
      publication covering the knowledge, document and content management 
      systems industry. “WebSideStory continues to 
      define the market with its forward-thinking solutions while also helping 
      companies obtain improved performance and ROI in their Web site search 
      results and content management initiatives. WebSideStory has earned its 
      place as a leader in the knowledge management economy.”
    
    
      The prestigious KMWorld magazine annual ranking – 
      now in its seventh year – is assembled by 
      colleagues, knowledge management (KM) practitioners, theorists, 
      analysts, vendors and their customers. Companies included in the list 
      clearly demonstrate their contribution to creating, redefining or 
      enhancing the market.
    
    
      “WebSideStory Search, WebSideStory Publish 
      and our other analytics-driven applications are delivering measurable 
      results for our customers,” said Pelin Wood, 
      senior vice president of marketing for WebSideStory. “We 
      see opportunities to leverage different kinds of data in a number of 
      ways – whether to enhance the relevancy of 
      site search results or improve the placement of content on a Web site. 
      This award is continued affirmation of WebSideStory and Visual Sciences’ 
      commitment to push analytics beyond reporting in order to drive actions 
      that lead to improved online performance.”
